It's obvious how this author has won a Pulitzer because this was a really well done historical nonfiction 👏 I went into it pretty blind, so I was pleasantly surprised that it was largely about Texas and US history more than just a deep dive into that day in history like I was expecting. I also appreciated the mix of personal history of the author to put this history into a more intimate context. It was short, but it really packed a punch because I learned a lot!
