Alamo Express [San Antonio, TX], August 18, 1860, p. 3, c. 1
Today’s Weekly Herald contains an account of the Fall of the Alamo by Capt. R. W. Potter. It is the best, fullest, and most authentic that has been published. Mr. Potter is a gentleman of fine talents, and we hope he will continue to dig away in this line. A finer field for the display of literary genius than the history of the early struggles of the Republic of Texas, is presented nowhere, and as the Captain wields a ready and eloquent pen, we hope he will persevere in this much neglected but interesting work. The description is accompanied by a plat of the Alamo, which was executed by Mr. Hoag, foreman of the Herald office.
