Remember the Alamo!"

What Boonesborough is TO Ken
lucky, the Alamo is TO Texas. and
both are more than the most famous
forts in their respective staes. They
are monuments to the memory of two
great American frontier heroes
Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett
they are national shrlnes.
The Mission of San Antonio de Ya-
lero, commonly called the Mission del
Alamo (Alamo being the Spanish
word for cottonwood tree) was found-
ed By the Franeiscans in 1903 and af-
ter various removals was established
In its present location In 1722 Soon
after the outbreak of the Texan War
of Independence In 1885 the Alamo
was seized by the Texans.
Its commander early the next year
was Lieut. Col. william Barrett Ira
Wis, a young Carolina lawyer. Assoc
ciated with him was Col. James
Bowie of Georgia and of Bowie knife
fame. They had only about 40 men
but in February there came vel
come reinforcement In the person Of
Davy Crockett, accompanied by some
of his neighbors from Tennessee.
On February %, 1896, Santa Ana
the dictator of 0Mexico, appeared be-
fore the fort and demanded its sur
render. Travis answered with a shot
from his cannon and defiant hoist
ing of his flag. The Mexican leader
had more than 1900 men but he did
not care to risk an assault SO erected
batteries and opened fire.
For eleven days the siege was con
tinued with heavy losses for the
Mexicans but without single casu-
atty among the defenders. In the
meantime Travis appeals for help
brought to the Alamo Col. James But
Ter Bonham, who slipped through the
lines of the besiegers, and detach-
ment of 90 men, led by Capt. J. W.
Smith, which cut its way through.
Finally on March 6 Santa Ana ord
cred a grand assault by picked force
of $500 men. Two attacks were beat
en- back by the desperate Texans but
the garrison. weakened by the long
vigil and lack of food, could not huri
back the third attempt. The Mexicans
swarmed over the walls and for ths
next few minutes there followed one
of the most desperate hand-tO-hand
encounters ever fought on the Amerl
can continent When it ended only
FIVE of the $50 defenders were left
alive and they were wounded. help
less prisoners. By command of Santa
Ana they were killed at once.
But the sacrifice of Davy Crockett
and his fellow heroes was not in vain
for the battle cry which swept tho
field at the decisive battle Of San
Jacinto. was Remember the Alamo :"
On a monument In the state capitol at
Austin concentrating their deeds Is
this line: "Thermopylae had its mes
senger of defeat. The Alamo had
none."
