He stood 3 feet 6 inches tall-but in the heart of Texas history, Carlton Hickory was a giant.
In this hilarious and heartfelt reimagining of the Battle of the Alamo, meet Carlton Hickory: a wildly optimistic, relentlessly cheerful, and comically unaware soldier who believes he's of average height-despite clear evidence to the contrary. Armed with little more than blind courage, a lucky spoon, and a wildly exaggerated sense of purpose, Carlton fights alongside legends like Davy Crockett and Stephen F. Austin (even if he's a little fuzzy on the details).
As cannonballs fly and history is written in blood and grit, Carlton bounds through danger with a toothy grin, terrible tactical advice, and the kind of big-hearted energy only a small man can bring. The odds are impossible. The enemy is overwhelming. But Carlton? Carlton is unstoppable.
Blending comedy, underdog charm, and real historical events, Carlton Hickory: The Littlest Legend of the Alamo is a tall tale about a short man who stood taller than most when it mattered most.
For fans of irreverent historical fiction, lovable misfits, and stories that mix laughs with legacy.
