Reminding Us of Our Texas History – Ghostly Bugles

We need books that help to remind us of our history. History that has not been altered or changed to match the current political atmosphere. We need authors who create a story so compelling that it makes you think about the history you were taught in a whole different light. We need those stories that make us more empathic to our history. Because without our history we simply would not be where we are today.

Ghostly Bugles by author Max Knight is this and so much more. It is so well-written you forget you are reading a fictionalized history, yet are you? If anything, what history and historians teach us is by researching in depth any segment of our history there are always new things to learn about our past. Max is an incredible storyteller.

Ghostly Bugles reads like a journal diary of the men who defended the Alamo and of the men who were attacking the mission. Interwoven is the story of an old man whose dreams are haunted by ghosts of both sides and one particular ghost in this famous battle.

For those not familiar with San Antonio or The Alamo area, the only thing lacking in this book is a historical map or overview photos in the book to place everything in a better perspective.

I have visited The Alamo three times, as well as been taught the history of its importance to Texas history. For some reason after reading Ghostly Bugles, I really want to back to the Alamo and see the site in a whole new light. Thanks, Max!

If you love Texas history, even if it is a bit fictionalized, then Ghostly Bugles truly needs to be on your TBR list. It will not disappoint and maybe, just maybe it will give you the inspiration to catch up on the latest research on the Alamo, as well as its future preservation.
