- February 23, 1836 most of what was left of the men holding down the Alamo were attacked by Santa Anna's men. An estimated 1,800-6,000 men. Overwhelming odds for the estimated 189-200 men that held up in the Alamo. It was a sad day. Well known men like Davy Crocket, James Bowie, and William Traves lost their lives, that day.
- Although this is a sad story. It is a story--a symbol of resistance and a heroic America. "Remember the Alamo" was a battle cry that shook every battle ground after that; calling men to arms, to fight with all they have. This cry became the Yankee Doodle of it's time.
