To:
The People of Texas,
and all Americans in the world (Travis) Letter from Colonel William Barret Travis at the seige of the
Alamo
|
"If we succeed, the country is ours. It is immense in extent, and fertile in its soil and will amply reward our toil. If we fail, death in the cause of liberty and humanity is not cause for shuddering. Our rifles are by our side, and choice guns they are, we know what awaits us, and are prepared to meet it." Letter from Daniel William Cloud of Kentucky, a defender of the Alamo, en route to San Antonio, dated Dec. 26, 1835. |

THE ALAMO More than 2.5 million people a year visit the 4.2 acre complex known worldwide as "The Alamo." Most come to see the old mission where a small band of Texans held out for thirteen days against the centralist army of General Antonio López de Santa Anna. Although the Alamo fell in the early morning hours of March 6, 1836, the death of the Alamo Defenders has come to symbolize courage and sacrifice for the cause of Liberty. The memories of James Bowie, David Crockett, and William B. Travis (see Travis's Alamo letter), are as powerful today as when the Texan Army under Sam Houston shouted "Remember the Alamo!" as it routed Santa Anna at the battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836.

Brief Alamo Chronology
|
The Alamo has been managed by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas since 1905. Located on Alamo Plaza in downtown San Antonio, Texas, the Alamo represents nearly 300 years of history. Three buildings - the Shrine, Long Barrack Museum, and Gift Museum - house exhibits on the Texas Revolution and Texas History. Visitors are welcome to stroll through the beautiful Alamo Gardens. Just a short walk from the River Walk, the Alamo is a "must see" for all who come to San Antonio.

Chronology Cont. In
the ensuing years, both U.S. and
Confederate forces used the building
to house quartermaster stores and
munitions. The U.S. Army continued
to lease the property until 1876.
Bishop
John Claud Neraz's offer to sell
the Alamo in 1882 was made to Frank
W. Johnson, first president of the
Texas Veterans' Association. He,
in turn, passed the information
on to the governor with a recommendation
that the State purchase the building.
On
April 23, 1883, the Texas legislature passed an act authorizing the purchase
of the Alamo
