Thomas Ricks Lindley is a former Army military policeman and criminal investigator. He has published numerous articles in The Alamo Journal, the publication of The Alamo Socieity. Currently working on a manuscript about the relationship between Sam Houston and Andrew Jackson, the author resides in Austin, Texas.
Lindley has written "a methodical piece-by-piece dismantling of
what we thought we knew, combined with convincing speculation about
what might have really happened"
*Gates Of The Alamo*
Sometimes it takes a private dick to crack a case. In the case of
the Alamo, a former criminal investigator for the U.S. Army spent
15 years investigating the minutiae of the historical record, and
came up with some stunning new revelations. No one (except
moviemakers) will ever be able to tell the old familiar tale the
same way again.
All in all, it is not the reputations of the Alamo heroes wh suffer
in Lindley's book, but the Alamo historians, many of them very well
respected names. The author has no fear of lancing sacred cows.
*San Antonio Express-News*
In Thomas Ricks Lindley's new book, Alamo Traces: New Evidence and
New Conclusions, Crockett's standing at the time of the seige is
memorably caught.
*Texas Monthly*
He hasn't thrown a hand gernades into Alamo Scholarship, he's
dropped a blockbuster! This book is going to have more
self-proclaimed "Alamo Scholars" screaming bloody murder than you
can shake a stick at.
*The National Tombstone Epitaph*
Sometimes it takes a private dick to crack the case. In the case of
the Alamo, a former criminal investigator for the U.S. Army spent
15 years investigating the minutiae of the historical record, and
came up with some stunning revelations.
*Lynchburg News and Daily Advance*
The book that has most recently galvanized the Serious Alamo Guys
is Alamo Traces. The result is possibly the most meticulously
researched book in the history of Alamania.
*Texas Monthly*
'Explosive' is a fitting word to describe this landmark, if
contentious book, which doggedly assails the accepted historial
record of the Alamo, dramatically reinterpreting the favorite
iconography of Texas revolutionary history.
*Southwestern Historical Quarterly*
