On February 23, 1836, general and dictator Antonio Lopez de
Santa Anna and a Mexican force of more than 2,000 men launched an
assault against Colonel William B. Travis of Texas, his army of 155
men, and 15 civilians who were living in the fort known as the
Alamo. The Texans, who were reinforced by 32 men by March 1,
withstood the Mexican army until March 6. That day, the 187 Texan
defenders perished in the hand-to-hand combat, including American
frontiersmen Davy Crockett and James Bowie, and 600 from the
Mexican army were killed as well. Only the civilians survived. At
the last battle of the Texas War, the Battle of San Jacinto,
General Santa Anna was defeated, and the battle cry "Remember the
Alamo!" could be heard being shouted by the Texan army. The Alamo:
The Battle for Texas examines this heroic episode in the Texas War
of Independence against Mexico.
