It is June, which means we will be spending more time outside and will need something new to listen to of course! We understand that at times it could be a challenge narrowing down your next listen, but don’t worry. Our acquirers have selected some of their top picks for you.

Three Roads to the Alamo: The Lives and Fortunes of David Crockett, James Bowie, and William Barret Travis

Three Roads to the Alamo is the definitive book about the lives of David Crockett, James Bowie, and William Barret Travis—the legendary frontiersmen and fighters who met their destiny at the Alamo in one of the most famous and tragic battles in American history—and about what really happened in that battle.

Note: Most Americans know the phrase “Remember the Alamo”! but not all the know the story behind it. William Davis takes the listener across early America and down the dusty roads to the Alamo, where we meet three very different men; two of whom were American folk heroes, legends in their own right before heading South, the third an ambitious land speculator who left his family back east to try to make it the new Republic of Texas. They fought for freedom and died for the cause of independence, and this is their story. -Nick Pouliot
