Considered to be one of the most heroic documents in American History,
this call to arms by William Barret Travis was carried through enemy
lines by Albert Martin, a 30 year old Tennessean.
In response, 32 brave men bid farewell to their families and rode
with Martin from Gonzales to the Alamo, which was surrounded by
over 5,000 of Santa Anna's best troops. In the pre-dawn hours on
the first March, the men from Gonzales fought their way through
the Mexican lines – no other help was able to reach Travis
in time. The Alamo fell on March 6, 1836, and the 182 defenders
were lost in the name of Texas Liberty.
