Alexander and Dan K. Utley chose to go beyond the familiar military sites of Texas--the Alamo or the San Jacinto battlefield, for example--to feature lesser known locations. The book successfully recovered these \"forgotten\" arenas for tourists and preservationists alike. Alexander and Utley now return with \u003ci\u003eEchoes of Glory\u003c\/i\u003e, and the result is another impressive catalogue that highlights the hidden gems of Texas history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEchoes of Glory\u003c\/i\u003e explores two dozen rarely discussed but equally significant military sites across Texas. From the establishment of a Spanish fortress at San Sabá during the mission era to a multimillion-dollar Cold War naval base, readers will find a range of sites and stories to enlighten and entertain. Rare illustrations contrast each site with how it appeared in its glory days to how it appears today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEchoes of Glory\u003c\/i\u003e underscores the need to preserve or fully interpret such places before they are lost forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas A\u0026amp;M University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623493370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Thomas E.
