The thirteen day siege of the Alamo ended 174 years ago this morning, when several thousand soldiers of the largest and best trained standing army in the Americas overwhelmed approximately 180 Texians, killing all combatants inside the fortified mission, at a loss of well over one thousand infantry.



Victory or death! Remember the Alamo!
