The Battle of the Alamo (February 23 – March 6, 1836) was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. Following a 13-day siege, Mexican troops under President General Antonio López de Santa Anna launched an assault on the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Béxar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas, United States), killing all of the Texian defenders. Santa Anna's cruelty during the battle inspired many Texians—both Texas settlers and adventurers from the United States—to join the Texian Army. Buoyed by a desire for revenge, the Texians defeated the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836, ending the revolution.
Several months previously, Texians had driven all Mexican troops out of Mexican Texas. About 100 Texians were then garrisoned at the Alamo. The Texian force grew slightly with the arrival of reinforcements led by eventual Alamo co-commanders James Bowie and William B. Travis. On February 23, approximately 1,500 Mexicans marched into San Antonio de Béxar as the first step in a campaign to retake Texas. For the next 10 days the two armies engaged in several skirmishes with minimal casualties. Aware that his garrison could not withstand an attack by such a large force, Travis wrote multiple letters pleading for more men and supplies, but fewer than 100 reinforcements arrived there.
San Antonio (/ˌsænænˈtoʊni.oʊ/ Spanish for "Saint Anthony"), officially the City of San Antonio, is the seventh most populated city in the United States of America and the second most populated city in the state of Texas, with a population of 1,409,019. It was the fastest growing of the top 10 largest cities in the United States from 2000 to 2010, and the second from 1990 to 2000. The city is located in the American Southwest, the south–central part of Texas, and the southwestern corner of an urban region known as the Texas Triangle.
San Antonio serves as the seat of Bexar County. Recent annexations have extended the city's boundaries into Medina County and, though for only a very tiny area near the city of Garden Ridge, into Comal County. The city has characteristics of other western urban centers in which there are sparsely populated areas and a low density rate outside of the city limits. San Antonio is the center of the San Antonio–New Braunfels Metropolitan Statistical Area. Commonly referred to as Greater San Antonio, the metropolitan area has a population of over 2.3 million based on the 2014 US Census estimate, making it the 25th-largest metropolitan area in the United States and third-largest in the state of Texas. Growth along the Interstate 35 and Interstate 10 corridors to the north, west and east make it likely that the metropolitan area will continue to expand.

Thanks to a series of movies about the famous Battle of the Alamo in San Antonio Texas, most Americans imagine a fight that took place mainly in front of the famous Alamo facade that's so recognizable. In fact. the battle actually occurred over a much larger area that was part of the remains of a sprawling mission complex built in the 1700s. No one knows where David Crockett actually died, but there's a good chance he wasn't standing on a rampart swinging his rifle at attackers who were trying to mob him. There are some who speculate he may have actually survived the battle and been executed afterward. Colonel Travis, the commander of the defenders, actually died in the first few minutes of the battle in an area more than 100 yards from there. It's believed Jim Bowie was killed in an are...

The Alamo in downtown San Antonio Texas is the site of the famous battle on March 2, 1836 that symbolizes the Texas Revolution against Mexico that eventually resulted in independence. Although almost 200 greatly outnumbered defenders of the Alamo died in the battle against the troops of Mexican president and general Santa Ana, their determination inspired the battle cry "Remember the Alamo," which has become legendary in Texas and American history. The iconic structure that everyone recognizes is just a small part of the actual battlefield. It was originally named Mission San Antonio de Valero, and served as home to missionaries and their Indian converts for nearly seventy years. The current Alamo complex, including the familiar facade and structure that used to serve as a mission churc...
Alamo
Heard all about your fandango
Banged on my knees
On your bay door
Only to wake you
To blues on the way
Blues on the way
Blues on the way
Embarcadere
Figures you'll see me as older
Twenty-three hours till the border
Don't think I'll be going
As fast as I came
Fast as I came
Fast as I came
Tears on my pillow
Of course they're not mine
Alter that altar
Make it a play
Somebody invent the telephone line
I'll take my chances
Alamo
Wish I could do what God does
Heard that the stars were in order
God you served out a hand
With two queen of spades
And blues on the way
Blues on the way
Tears on my pillow
Of course they're not mine
Alter that altar
Make it a play
Somebody just
Somebody invent the telephone line
I'll take my chances
