The battle at the Alamo may be one of the most famous military campaigns in Texas history, but it is by no means the only one.

Pros

  • The packet includes links to research sites

Cons

  • Although the project supports the development of mapping and research skills, the packet is designed for a Texas history course and may have limited value to a more generalized study of American history
