Texas Grandad

This is a particularly exciting app, as it brings together interactive historical resources, including an enhanced e-book about the Battle of San Jacinto, impressive panorama photos of the battlefield and a scholarly review of historical battlefield maps. This innovative app combines numerous links to authoritative references from the Texas State Historical Association Handbook of Texas. It provides an entertaining introduction to this decisive battle and a deep dive into the details, for those who want to learn more. It is appropriate for both grade school students and serious scholars. We only wish that more of history could be displayed in such a compelling manner.
