Austin...fought to protect slavery from Mexican legislators' desire to abolish it, and that the independence movement was focused on preserving Texas's slave-based cotton economy." — Publishers Weekly

July conversation with writer Chris Tomlinson on his book "Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth," co-written with Bryan Burrough and Jason Stanford for Penguin Press. Suggested by Wally, Joel and Mark.

Join us as we talk with Chris Tomlinson about his new book, Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth, co-written with Bryan Burrough and Jason Stanford. Every nation needs its creation myth, and since Texas was a nation before it was a state, it's no surprise that its myths bite deep. There's no piece of history more important to Texans than the Battle of the Alamo, when Davy Crockett and a band of rebels went down in a blaze of glory fighting for independence from Mexico, losing the battle but setting Texas up to win the war. However, that version of events, as Forget the Alamo definitively shows, owes more to fantasy than reality. Just as the site of the Alamo was left in ruins for decades, its story was forgotten and twisted over time, with the contributions of Tejanos--Texans of Mexican origin, who fought alongside the Anglo rebels--scrubbed from the record, and the origin of the conflict over Mexico's push to abolish slavery papered over. In our conversation, Chris explains the true story of the battle and walks us through the creation of the Alamo myth in the Jim Crow South of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. As uncomfortable as it may be to hear for some, celebrating the Alamo has long had an echo of celebrating whiteness. Join us for this riveting and important conversation. 

Today, we talk with Chris Tomlinson, one of the authors of "Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth." We talk about the real story of what led up to the battle, the 45-minute battle and the aftermath, which really impacts even today.

(Note: This conversation originally aired earlier this year.) History is one thing; mythology is another. And at times, of course, these two can overlap, or blur, or get confused. Such is the case with the Alamo, as our guest argues. Longtime journalist Chris Tomlinson is a columnist for The Houston Chronicle and The San Antonio Express-News, and he's one of the authors of a book titled "Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth." As was noted of this work in Publishers Weekly: "Substantive yet wryly humorous.... Skillfully drawing on primary and secondary sources, the authors show that Stephen F. Austin, who established a colony of American settlers in Texas in the 1820s, fought to protect slavery from Mexican legislators' desire to abolish it, and that the independence movement was focused on preserving Texas's slave-based cotton economy. Enriched by its breezy tone and fair-minded approach, this is an essential look at the Alamo from the perspective of today's racial

The co-author of “Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth,” Bryan Burroughs, debunks the Anglo-centric fables surrounding Texas' founding myth — with a cameo appearance from Phil Collins.

The epic, oft-told origin story of Texas centers on the Lone Star State's most infamous battle: the Battle of the Alamo, where American heroes such as Davy Crockett fought to the death against the Mexican army to secure Texas's independence. The only problem, according to the writer and journalist Bryan Burrough, is that this founding legend isn't all true. In June, Burrough and two other Texan writers set out to debunk the myth of the Alamo, only to find themselves in an unexpected battle with Texans still trying to protect their state's revered origin story. “The Anglo power structure here, which still dominates politics and the media,” Burrough says, “can clearly see that if the myth melts away, other things could begin to melt away as well.” This week on The Experiment: how a history book ignited a ferocious debate over Texas's founding legend, and how this battle climbed the ranks all the way up to the Texas GOP.   This episode's guest is Bryan Burrough, a co-author of Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth.

It's getting steamy in the TSHE studios, and we don't just mean the weather. In an episode with even more utter nonsense than usual, Hillary, Christy, and Ann are talking about the onscreen characters who leave us a little hot and bothered. From a distant father to a righteous truth teller, a Young Republican to the quintessential Gen-X idols, our tastes are both wide AND shallow. Along the way we ask the following questions: is he hot, or just tall? How do you know if someone's a bad boy? Do we need a Boom of Sales? Also, Hillary got wet ‘n' wild, Ann makes a rebuttal to a rebuttal, and Christy has some slightly problematic fantasies about her ideal parents.Ed. Note: When I said that Jennifer Garner divorced Scott Speedman OF COURSE I meant Scott Foley.

When I was a kid I learned about the Alamo. It's 1836. Houston said to Travis, fortify the Alamo. Volunteers came from across the continent to fight and die for the dream of a free and independent Texas. Like the Ballad said, One hundred and eighty five holding back five thousand.In the southern part of Texas, near the town of San Antone, like a statue on his pinto rides a cowboy all alone. And he sees the cattle grazing where a century before Santa Anna's guns were blazing and the cannons used to roar. And his eyes turn sorta misty and his heart begins to glow and he takes his hat off slowly. To the men of the Alamo. To the thirteen days of glory at the siege of Alamo.What a load of bullshit.The Alamo and its effect on Texas, the country, and Phil Collins, is the subject of the new book Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of An American Myth. Two of its three authors are here with me today, Bryan Burrough and Chris Tomlinson. They're both writers and they're both from Texas, so you can be sure that what you're about to hear is the gospel truth.Angry Planet has a substack!

(7/7/21/) Every nation needs its creation myth, and since Texas was a nation before it was a state, it's no surprise that its myths bite deep. And no piece of history is more important to Texans than the Battle of the Alamo, when Davy Crockett and a band of rebels went down in a blaze of glory fighting for independence from Mexico, losing the battle but setting Texas up to win the war. But as Vanity Fair correspondent Bryan Burrough reveals in his new book Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth, co-authored with Chris Tomlinson and Jason Stanford, that so-called historical retelling is nothing more than a fantasy. Join us for a clear-eyed look at this legendary chapter in American history in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.

Joy Reid leads The ReidOut with Americans facing a choice between the real world where coronavirus cases are falling and the economy is bouncing back -- and a fantasy world where the election was stolen and everything is a culture war. Journalist Eugene Daniels joins Joy on whether Democrats have a sense of urgency about what many perceive as stark rifts between the parties, and existential threats to our democracy coming from many corners of the GOP. Then, QAnon conspiracies and the reported links between Trump supporters, White nationalism, and neo-fascism in American politics particularly on the right and in the GOP are analyzed by experts. Dean Obeidallah also discusses what he sees as the reluctance of many to calling the Jan. 6 insurrection terrorism, as we bring you the latest on the Capitol insurrection court cases. Additionally, Chris Tomlinson, co-author of "Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth," explains how the Texas GOP shut down a discussion of the Alamo and slavery based on this book. All this and much more in this special 2-hour edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Gov. Greg Abbott recently signed into law the “1836 Project” to promote Texas history. Author Bryan Burrough joins host Krys Boyd to talk about arguably the state's most famous story – The Alamo – and why its role in preserving slavery is often written out of Texas lore. His book, written with co-authors Chris Tomlinson and Jason Stanford, is “Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth.”

History is one thing, and mythology is another. And at times, of course, these two can overlap, or blur, or get confused in a big way. Such is the case with the Alamo, as our guest argues on ST. Longtime journalist Chris Tomlinson is a columnist for The Houston Chronicle and The San Antonio Express-News, and he's one of the authors of an attention-grabbing new book titled "Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth." As was noted of this wotk in Publishers Weekly: "Substantive yet wryly humorous.... Skillfully drawing on primary and secondary sources, the authors show that Stephen F. Austin, who established a colony of American settlers in Texas in the 1820s, fought to protect slavery from Mexican legislators' desire to abolish it, and that the independence movement was focused on preserving Texas's slave-based cotton economy. Enriched by its breezy tone and fair-minded approach, this is an essential look at the Alamo from the perspective of today's racial reckoning."

Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth by Bryan Burrough, Chris Tomlinson, Jason Stanford “Lively and absorbing. . ." — The New York Times Book Review "Engrossing." —Wall Street Journal “Entertaining and well-researched . . . ” —Houston Chronicle Three noted Texan writers combine forces to tell the real story of the Alamo, dispelling the myths, exploring why they had their day for so long, and explaining why the ugly fight about its meaning is now coming to a head. Every nation needs its creation myth, and since Texas was a nation before it was a state, it's no surprise that its myths bite deep. There's no piece of history more important to Texans than the Battle of the Alamo, when Davy Crockett and a band of rebels went down in a blaze of glory fighting for independence from Mexico, losing the battle but setting Texas up to win the war. However, that version of events, as Forget the Alamo definitively shows, owes more to fantasy than reality. Just as the site of the Alamo was left in ruins for decades, its story was forgotten and twisted over time, with the contributions of Tejanos--Texans of Mexican origin, who fought alongside the Anglo rebels--scrubbed from the record, and the origin of the conflict over Mexico's push to abolish slavery papered over. Forget the Alamo provocatively explains the true story of the battle against the backdrop of Texas's struggle for independence, then shows how the sausage of myth got made in the Jim Crow South of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. As uncomfortable as it may be to hear, celebrating the Alamo has long had an echo of celebrating whiteness. In the past forty-some years, waves of revisionists have come at this topic, and at times have made real progress toward a more nuanced and inclusive story that doesn't alienate anyone. But we are not living in one of those times; the fight over the Alamo's meaning has become more pitched than ever in the past few years, even violent, as Texas's future begins to look more and more different from its past. It's the perfect time for a wise and generous-spirited book that shines the bright light of the truth into a place that's gotten awfully dark.

In this episode of "Keen On", Andrew is joined by Bryan Burrough, co-author of "Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth", to tell the true story of the Battle of the Alamo against the backdrop of Texas's struggle for independence. Bryan Burrough is a special correspondent at Vanity Fair magazine and the author of six books, including the No. 1 New York Times Best-Seller Barbarians at the Gate and his latest, Days of Rage.

Born in 1961, Bryan was raised in Temple, Texas, and graduated from the University of Missouri School of Journalism in 1983. From 1983 to 1992 he was a reporter for The Wall Street Journal, where he reported from Dallas, Houston, Pittsburgh and, during the late 1980s, covered the busy mergers and acquisitions beat in New York. He has written for Vanity Fair since 1992. In 1990 Bryan and John Helyar co-authored Barbarians, the story of the fight for control of RJR Nabisco. The book, which spent 39 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, has been hailed as one of the most influential business narratives of all time. Bryan joined Vanity Fair in 1992, where he has reported from locales as diverse as Hollywood, Nepal, Moscow, Tokyo and Jerusalem. His subsequent books include: Vendetta, Dragonfly, Public Enemies, The Big Rich and Days of Rage.
