The roads cross at San Antonio de Bexar at a small, ruined
mission called The Alamo--a place where myth meets history and legend meets
reality. In the spring of 1836 nearly 200 Texans--men of all races who believed
in the future of Texas--held the more »fort for
thirteen days under siege by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, ruler of
Mexico and commander of its forces. Led by three men--the young, brash Colonel
William Travis; the violent, passionate James Bowie; and the larger-than-life
living legend Davy Crockett--the Texans and their deeds at the Alamo would pass
into history as General Sam Houston's rallying cry for Texas independence. As
well, their actions would become legend for their symbolic significance. «
