THE ALAMO
In 1835, during Texas’ war for
independence from Mexico, a group of Texan volunteer soldiers occupied
the Alamo. On February 23, 1836, thousands of Mexican soldiers led by
General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna began a siege of the fort. The
Alamo’s 200 defenders commanded by James Bowie and William Travis and
including the famed frontiersman Davy Crockett, held out courageously
for 13 days before the Mexican invaders finally overpowered them.
