was vested in the State. Thus is set

Alamo being known as the ThermOpyla
of America from the heroic defense Of the
fort made in 1886 by small body of Texans
against force of MeXicans fully ten times
their number. During the subsequent

cry was "Remember the Alamo" the
MeXicans having murdered six defenders
