Big day in Texas history. ‘At dawn on March 6, 1836, the 13th day of the siege, the Battle of the Alamo commenced. Fighting lasted roughly 90 minutes, and by daybreak all the Defenders had perished, including a former congressman from Tennessee, David Crockett. The loss of the garrison was felt all over Texas, and even the world. The Defenders were from many different countries, including some Defenders who were native-born Mexicans. Following the battle, Santa Anna ordered the Defender[s’] remains burned.’ https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2025/03/06/remember-the-alamo-n4937626

"..The pleasantist angling is to see the fish
Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

Texicans thought there was a huge slab being poured that day, they had no idea it there was going to be a battle.

My great grandfather x 4 was Toribio Lasoya. Last year my cousins got invited to the Alamo to be part of a commemoration. Of course I had to work.
