VISIT THE ALAMO

The Alamo is situated in San Antonio, TEXAS.

In 1836 189 Texas volunteers successfully defended the Alamo for 13 days against a Mexican army of 4,000.

They were eventually all killed but their defence of the Alamo gave Sam Houston time to gather his own troops and on April 21st he led his army of 850 men against Santa Anna's 1500 strong army and defeated them.
