  • At a small mission in San Antonio de Bejar (it is surprising how small it is when you see it) that was turned into a fort during the Texas war of independence from Mexico (actually from Spain) in 1836. The Alamo, as it was called by the locals, actually had a large wall around it at the time, which allowed it to be used as a fort. A few hundred Texas "patriots", both Anglos and Hispanics, fought off an Army of four to five thousand led by Generalissimo Santa Ana for nearly two weeks. They were overwhelmed, eventually, and killed to a man. But the time allowed Sam Houston to organise his army which defeated Santa Ana at San Jacinta, ending the war and creating the Republic of Texas. Crockett was not killed in the battle itself but was wounded and executed later along with other wounded. Their bodies were dumped into an open pit and burned...then covered.
  • Do you mean Fess Parker? I saw him just the other day walking down State Street.
  • At the Alamo but not in it. Tom47 has it right. The book "Eyewitness To The Alamo," by Bill Groneman has reports by Mrs. Dickinson, who was spared by Santa Ana, and by several Mexican officers who were eyewitnesses.
  • He died defending the Alamo.
  • He was exicuted by the mexican army after the fight at the alamo. He was the last man to survive at the battle of the alamo. LONE STAR LEGENDS Ghosts of the Alamo The Alamo in San Antonio, Texas The muffled drum's sad roll has beat The soldier's last tattoo; No more on life's parade shall meet That brave and fallen few. On fame's eternal camping-ground Their silent tents are spread, And glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead. The neighing troop, the flashing blade, The bugle's stirring blast, The charge, the dreadful cannonade, The din and shout are past; Nor war's wild note, nor glory's peal Shall thrill with fierce delight Those breasts that never more may feel The rapture of the fight. --Theodore O'Hara. Originally built as the Mission San Antonio de Valero, the Alamo first served as place to Christianize and educate the resident Indians in the late 1700's. Throughout the later years and up to the 1830’s, the mission would become home to various outfits, including revolutionaries and rebels. It was during this time that the Alamo site was expanded to a fortress with high walls and numerous outbuildings.
