"I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls - I shall never surrender or retreat."
- William B. Travis
There are fewer moments in American History more important than the Battle of the Alamo. On March 6th, 1836, following a thirteen day siege, the Alamo defenders were overwhelmed by Mexican forces under General Santa Anna, and killed.
The Battle was a part of the Texas Revolution, and has been compared to other heroic historical last stands like the Spartans at Thermopylae. Similar to Thermopylae, a lot of myth and lore surround the facts.
Join Chef Money as he takes you on a more in depth look into the events that led up to the battle, the men who fought there, it's lasting legacy on American culture; as well as the battle itself.
