The Alamo (the Mission of San Antonio de Valero) was established in 1718. The long Barrack museum, the oldest building in San Antonio, displays the dramatic battle of March 6, 1836 where Davy Crockett, Colonel William B. Travis, and 189 Texas patriots lost their lives fighting for freedom against Mexican General Santa Anna's army of 2,500. | |
