"The enemy has demanded a surrender . . . otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword . . . I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, and our flag still waves proudly from the walls. I shall never surrender or retreat."—Colonel William Travis
Remember the Alamo! is a tale of extraordinary courage and riveting adventure. For thirteen days, 189 men led by Davy Crockett, Colonel Jim Bowie, and Colonel William Travis—hopelessly outnumbered—held off the Mexican army led by General Santa Anna at the Mission San Antonio de Valero—the Alamo. Their valiant sacrifice for the cause of Texas liberty became the rallying cry, "Remember the Alamo!"
