The Gates of the Alamo

Harrigan's detailed characterizations made the historical event feel alive. I wonder what sources or ideas influenced his choice to highlight individual experiences.

The story seemed to take its time building relationships and tension. I'm curious if this was a deliberate choice to deepen engagement or if it affected the overall momentum.

I’m fascinated by the balance between historical fact and creative storytelling. Did Harrigan take many liberties, or is this a close reflection of real history?
