Mission fortress in San Antonio, Texas, USA.
It was besieged 23 Feb-6 Mar 1836 by Santa
Anna and 4,000 Mexicans; they killed the
garrison of about 180, including Davy
Crockett and Jim Bowie. The struggle against
such overwhelming odds made the battle of the
Alamo a rallying point for the settlers in
the Texas War of Independence from Mexico.
