Crisp, who discovered the new diary entries in an untranslated manuscript version of the journal, discusses the history of the de la Peña diary controversy and presents new evidence in the matter. With the \"missing week\" and the perspective Crisp provides, the diary should prompt a new round of debate over what really happened at the Alamo. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen it was first translated and published in English in 1975 by Carmen Perry, \u003ci\u003eWith Santa Anna in Texas\u003c\/i\u003e unleashed a fury of emotion and an enduring chasm between some scholars and Texans. The journal of de la Peña, an officer on Santa Anna's staff, reported the capture and execution of Davy Crockett and several others and also stated the reason behind Santa Anna's order to make the final assault on Travis and his men. Whether or not scholars agree with de la Peña's assertions, his journal remains one of the most revealing accounts of the Texas Revolution ever to come to light. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarmen Perry served as director of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas Library at the Alamo and as an archive translator and cataloger for the University of Texas at San Antonio.James E.
