A "nefarious" triumph!!!, December 13, 2004 Reviewer: Bucko The Old Green Beanie (Atlanta, GA) -
One Domingo Morning is a sensitive, insightful piece of the way the world - and revolutionary Texas - probably really was in the 1830's. Too many have written on this subject and couched it in how the world is now. The author has an uncommon ability - sorely lacking in many authors on the subject - to let the reader "feel" what it was probably like to be caught in the turbulence of those days. We are exposed to the slavery question, almost taboo in other pieces, studied thoroughly from a multitude of perspectives. We see both Mexicans and Texians as individuals and not all made from the same cloth. And perhaps most importantly of all, we see war in its most terrifying and unromantic. A pet peeve of mine with any type of "war" historians is their distinct lack of ability to understand what war is really like, knowing it only from their desk chair. To be sure, there has been some very good scholarship on the subject, but very rarely have we seen much of it capture the true horror and personal suffering of battle. The author has captured just that misery. This book is not only a fine one historically, interweaving not only what we know happened and what "might have" happened, but it is also a darn interesting read. You don't need to be an Alamo fan to like this book. It is so much more than just about an Alamo survivor. It has amazing depth to it and, as an author, soldier and believer in bettering the human condition, this is a MUST READ!

Alamo Joe by an author in the Know, December 13, 2004 Reviewer: John A. Huthmacher "bracketville buff" (Hastings, NE USA) - A captivating account of war and love, One Domingo Morning tells the story of Alamo Joe, the lone male survivor in the historic battle that claimed the likes of such reknown heros and Jim Bowie, Davy Crocket, and William Travis. It is a story of Joe's loyalty: to his Master, Travis, wife, Silvie, the cause of Texas, and ultimately, to himself and his quest for freedom. With great attention to visual detail, Huthmacher paints a vivid portrait of the battle and subsequent flight to freedom by Joe that is compelling and brutally honest with generous glimpses of tenderness and compassion. It has all the elements of a true suspense novel, with enough twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. A great first work by an author who has obvously done his homework.

One Domingo Morning....One Great Book !!!, December 8, 2004 Reviewer: Mike Boldt (NJ) -
I have known Ned Huthmacher for a number of years and never knew how wonderful a writer he is. I have always wondered about Joe,the slave that William B. Travis had with him at the Alamo. But no one ever bothered to put the pieces together and tell his story. Ned has done this in a most masterful way. By combining fact with fiction, and a few movie references here and there, Ned has presented a complete picture of one of the Alamo's unsung heroes.
What I enjoyed was the simple, straight forward telling of the tale.The characters come alive on the page. My favorite is Ned's description of Crockett's entry into San Antonio. With his "gun metal grey" hair. You gotta love this stuff. Ned captures the human complexities of Joe and vividly describes his reactions to the events and people around him.
This is a "must have" for any Alamo collector. I doubt if there will ever be a book covering Joe's story as completely as "One Domingo Morning". Ned was sure he was right....and then went ahead.

Domingo Morning... a great way to start the week!, December 6, 2004 Reviewer: David Webb "Davy" (Fort Worth, Texas) - I trully enjoyed this wonderful addition to the Alamo Story! Mr.Huthmacher has touched a nerve that has been hinted at for years but never fully explored.. until now! With a sensitivity and a compassion for the lesser known characters that made up the drama of this historic event, he has managed to put together an interesting and fullfilling story that will be remembered as long as we "Remember the Alamo"!

One Domingo Morning: The Story of Alamo Joe, December 3, 2004 Reviewer: Hunter Michael "Hunter" (Dallas, TX USA) - Superb book from the experience of Travis' slave, Joe and a great concept to hear it from his perspective. The book starts out fast and exciting from the first word and doesn't stop. It is a must for Alamo buffs, but anyone with an interest in historical events will love this book as well. The writing is intense, exciting and extremely interesting. You feel like you're there at the Alamo!!! I can't say enough good things about it!! Huthmacher really knows his stuff!!

I was just browsing the Daughters of The Republic of Texas quarterly newsletter (viewed online at the official Alamo Site) and it mentions how I donated a copy of ONE DOMINGO MORNING to the DRT Library on the grounds of the Alamo. The book is now available for viewing to anyone utilizing the facility for research purposes.

you can donate books to them? Sure can. I donated a copy of ONE DOMINGO MORNING in person, while visiting San Antonio, this past March. When you get your book published, you can donate a copy to the DRT and receive written acknowledgement from them. After that, your book will remain in the DRT archives at the Alamo for so long as the Alamo itself yet stands.

As I mentioned, I will be bringing along a few copies of ONE DOMINGO MORNING for those of you who do not already have it. I almost forgot to mention that I sold 3 books in the Cantina at Alamo Village on October 22nd, the day of the filmfest. I probably could've sold more, if I had brought more, but hey, I was there for the film! As to the showing of THE ALAMO inside the Waynamo, it was truly "A night to remember."
