March 6th, 1836 -- Alamo falls to Mexican army
On this day in 1836, the fortified compound of San Antonio de Valero Mission, under siege for thirteen days by the Mexican army under General Antonio Lòpez de Santa Anna, was subjected to an early morning assault. After a fierce battle, lasting for perhaps some 90 minutes, the defenses of the Alamo were overrun and all the defenders were killed. The chapel fell last. The slogan "Remember the Alamo!" subsequently became a rallying cry for the Texas Revolution, and the Alamo became a shrine to fallen Texas heroes.

Up to five men died at the Alamo whose names were never recorded in history.


God Bless Texas!!!

Those we know the names of. Thank you gentlemen for your service and sacrifice.

A lot of Mexican names in that list, that’s what makes Texas and America great

Juan Seguin didn't die at the Alamo. Although he might have been better off if he had. What happened to him is another heartbreaking story from history

Sad for sure. True men of honor often pay dearly for their honor and service. Yet, true men of honor continue to make that sacrifice.

Remember Goliad, Remember the Alamo

GOD Bless Texas

That's a list of the people who fought there. There were a couple who escaped and a couple of survivors.

He fought at the Battle of San Jacinto, and you are right about what happened to him.

There are 254 Counties in Texas and it's amazing how many of the names on that list are also on the list of County names.

Well said

The Sutherland's were ancestors on my momma's side.
John Sutherland was dispatched by Travis to Gonzalez to get help. He wasn't at The Alamo when it fell.

I love Brian Burns CD, The Eagle & the Snake - Songs of the Texicans. Listen below and buy at Brian Burns Music.Com

Wasn't his name Daniel Boone ? instead of Bourne

That'll learn the Mexicans to invite us to settle their lands!
