Martyrs of the Alamo
Martyrs of the Alamo( also known as The Birth of Texas) is a 1915 American historical war drama film written and directed by Christy Cabanne.
The film is based on the historical novel of the same name by Theodosia Harris, and features an ensemble cast including Sam De Grasse, Douglas Fairbanks, Walter Long and Alfred Paget.
Fairbanks role was uncredited, and was his first role in film, although his first starring role, in" The Lamb", was released prior to this picture.
The film features the Siege of Béxar, Battle of the Alamo and Battle of San Jacinto.
While making claims to historical accuracy, the film depicts the Mexican population in San Antonio in 1836 as a group of ill- mannered drunks.
One scene depicts a Mexican officer verbally assaulting a white woman and making advances on her.
The white woman reports the incident to her husband, Almeron Dickinson, who in turn shoots the Mexican officer.
In his book" Remembering the Alamo", author Richard R. Flores, argues that the negative portrayal of the Mexican population is due to racism toward Mexicans in 1915, the year the film was produced.
A copy of the film is preserved at the Library of Congress.

The Alamo: Shrine of Texas Liberty is a 1938 American black- and- white war film directed by Stuart Paton and produced by H. W. Kier and Norman Sheldon.

The film was released soon after the centennial of the Alamo.
Alamo Mission in San Antonio
The Alamo Mission in San Antonio , commonly called The Alamo and originally known as the "Misión San Antonio de Valero", is a historic Spanish mission and fortress compound founded in the 18th century by Roman Catholic missionaries in what is now San Antonio, Texas, United States.
It was the site of the Battle of the Alamo in 1836.
Today it is a museum in the Alamo Plaza Historic District and a part of the San Antonio Missions World Heritage Site.
The historic district was one of the early Spanish missions in Texas, built for the education of local American Indians after their conversion to Christianity.
The mission was secularized in 1793 and then abandoned.
Ten years later, it became a fortress housing the Second Flying Company of San Carlos de Parras military unit, who likely gave the mission the name Alamo.
During the Texas Revolution, Mexican General Martín Perfecto de Cos surrendered the fort to the Texian Army in December 1835, following the Siege of Béxar.
A relatively small number of Texian soldiers then occupied the compound for several months.
The defenders were wiped out at the Battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836.
As the Mexican Army retreated from Texas several months later, they tore down many of the Alamo walls and burned some of the buildings.
For the next five years, the Alamo was periodically used to garrison soldiers, both Texian and Mexican, but was ultimately abandoned.
In 1849, several years after Texas was annexed to the United States, the U.S. Army began renting the facility for use as a quartermaster's depot, before again abandoning the mission in 1876 after nearby Fort Sam Houston was established.
The Alamo chapel was sold to the state of Texas, which conducted occasional tours but made no effort to restore it.
The remaining buildings were sold to a mercantile company which operated them as a wholesale grocery store.
The Daughters of the Republic of Texas (DRT) formed in 1895 and began trying to preserve the Alamo.
Adina Emilia De Zavala and Clara Driscoll successfully convinced the state legislature in 1905 to purchase the remaining buildings and to name the DRT as the permanent custodian of the site.
Over the next century, periodic attempts were made to transfer control of the Alamo from the DRT.
In early 2015, Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush officially removed control of the Alamo to the Texas General Land Office.
The Alamo and the four missions in the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site on July 5, 2015.
