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.

Martin David Robinson (September 26, 1925 December 8, 1982), known professionally as Marty Robbins, was an American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. One of the most popular and successful American country and Western singers of his era, for most of his nearly four-decade career, Robbins was rarely far from the country music charts, and several of his songs also became pop hits. The Alamo, originally known as Mission San Antonio de Valero, is a former Roman Catholic mission and fortress compound, now a museum, in San Antonio, Texas.

Original Soundtrack by Dimitri Tiomkin The Green Leaves of Summer John Wayne's The Alamo (USA 1960) Lyrics: A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin'. The green leaves of Summer are callin' me home. 'Twas so good to be young then, in a season of plenty, When the catfish were jumpin' as high as the sky. A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin'. A time to be courtin' a girl of your own. 'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth, And to stand by your wife at the moment of birth. A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin'. The green leaves of Summer are callin' me home. 'Twas so good to be young then, with the sweet smell of apples, And the owl in the pine tree a -winkin' his eye. A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin'. A time just for livin', a place ...
Clip from "The Last Command" (1955; 110 min) "Jim Bowie" sung by Gordon MacRae "The Last Command" is a 1955 Trucolor Western film about Jim Bowie and the fall of the Alamo during the Texas War of Independence in 1836. Released during the Walt Disney Davy Crockett frenzy, the film follows Jim Bowie (Sterling Hayden), who was initially a friend to Generalissimo Antonio López de Santa Anna (J. Carrol Naish) but now sides with the Texans in their bid for independence. The film was originally set to be produced and directed by John Wayne, but Republic Pictures head Herbert Yates wanted Wayne only to star, not produce or direct as Wayne wanted. Wayne left Republic to form Wayne-Fellows Productions. Five years later he would play Davy Crockett in, as well as direct, the three-hour-plus Todd-AO...
On this trip to San Antonio, Texas the show visits The Alamo.
I had no idea we actually lost the Battle of the Alamo. Texas has a crazy history and I can see now why Texans have so much pride. This is the 3rd vlog in a series of 7 Texas videos. Check out all the Texas vlogs here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UEVuukgxw8&list;=PLqUGFHMGYjkcBSabEXqwOFLzIlncmB_Kl In this video I explore the Alamo grounds, including all the interesting demonstrations and explanations offered by the guides and "Living History Encampment." I also go in the Alamo and the Long Barrack Exhibition. Everything at the Alamo is free. At 2:20, I also check out the Battle for Texas Experience. This is a private museum that costs $20 plus $6 for the audio guide. I thought it was worthwhile and the end battle scene (at 3:55) was really cool. Definitely check out the Alamo and l...

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...
YOU FEEL A HEAVINESS HERE 😞 The Alamo San Antonio, Texas 🏜 Full Time RV Living This is part 2 to our adventure exploring San Antonio, Texas. We checked out the river walk and had enough time and enough day light to check out the Alamo. They don't allow photography or videography in the Mission but we were able to capture the courtyard and the surrounding areas. Josh is a huge history buff so things like this really intrigue him and he loves to share what he has learned on his visit. The Alamo is a pinnacle point when the US fought to keep Texas. The battle at the Alamo was a bloody one and no one survived the 90 minute battle. Women, children and a slave were let go. But the odds weren't in our favor when defending the Alamo. It was 30 men to one when the battle took place and the Mexic...
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
