| Summary | "The Lost Gold of the Montezumas: A Story of the Alamo" by William O. Stoddard is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story intertwines the legendary lost treasure of the Montezumas with the backdrop of the Texas Revolution, specifically focusing on the historical event at the Alamo. The opening introduces a complex mix of characters including the old warrior Tetzcatl, who seeks to incite conflict between various factions, and the young Lipan chief Red Wolf, as they navigate a landscape rich with cultural tension and intrigue. At the start of the novel, readers are transported to a gloomy cave where Tetzcatl discusses the need to stir up chaos among the Americans and the Mexican troops to awaken the ancient gods and secure the treasure of the Montezumas. As Tetzcatl prepares to lure enemies into a trap, the narrative shifts to Red Wolf, who encounters the strange figure of Tetzcatl and learns about the assembly at the Alamo. The opening chapters build a sense of urgency and foreshadowing as characters prepare for the ensuing conflict, highlighting their motivations and the stakes of the treasure hunt intertwined with the struggle for Texas independence.
