About the Book

A unique collection of history and music that connects the spirit and the background of the Alamo defenders to Scotland. From the beginning of Scotland's freedom wars, with Wallace and Bruce, we see the trend carried forward to the Texas and the Alamo. With piper John MacGregor and the fiddler of the Alamo the men's spirits were maintained with the music of Scotland that contained a history of a fighting spirit. These songs were then used as the tunes for ballads and stories written about the Alamo and the Texas Revolution. This Texas freedom fight has its roots in Scotland's freedom wars.
About the Author: Over the last 30 plus years Carl Peterson has arguably become the most successful and busiest Scottish singer in North America, although now semi-retired, performing at numerous festivals and concerts, and creating nearly 30 recordings. Born and raised in Greenock, Scotland. Canada Carl came to Canada in the 1960's where he started playing the guitar and eventually singing with two highly successful groups. At the beginning of the British invasion in 1965 Carl was talked into "going rock" by long time friend Ron McLachlan Following the break up of The King Beezz Carl turned his attention to folk once again. After a few short months of performing at live shows and TV appearances they were signed by Capitol Records of Canada and almost immediately embarked on a 2 year tour that took them clear across Canada with live performances and national TV shows. After the breakup of the 2nd edition of The Patmacs Carl went solo and settled in Montreal . United States Eventually Carl turned his attention south to America where he arrived in the early 1980's. It didn't take him long to find success in Scottish festivals. Then, in 1994, he was signed by Community Concerts of New York. Apart from averaging about 30 festivals a year, Carl was handling 30 to 45 concerts a year from Maine to Hawaii. After five years with Community Concerts Carl spent two seasons with Allied Concerts from Wisconsin, performing mostly in the upper Midwest states. Over all these years Carl has released over 25 recordings, 1 video and published two books. In 2007, 2008 and 2009 Carl's CD Songs of the South with Bagpipes and Banjos won the Vintage Album of the Year award from The Southern Heritage Music Association. It was with the release of his highly acclaimed double CD, Scotland Remembers The Alamo and the follow up release of the companion book Now's The Day And Now's Hour that Carl has taken an interest in writing. The double CD and the book chronicle the strong influence of the Scots and Scotch-Irish at The Alamo and in early Texas history.
