Davy Crockett was no longer a Congressman from Tennessee when he met up with William Barret Travis and Jim Bowie at The Alamo.
The San Antonio fortress, then part of Mexico, was surrounded by
Generalissimo Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna and thousands of his soldiers
during late February and early March of 1836. Santa Anna stormed the
former mission on March 6 and, during a vicious battle, all The Alamo
defenders were killed. Two weeks later, Santa Anna ordered the deaths
of hundreds more Texan soldiers during the Goliad Massacre.
In the movie, "The Alamo," you will see the legendary siege and battle
come alive on screen. In our story behind the movie, you will meet the
real people (including less famous figures like Juan Seguin, James
Butler Bonham, and David Burnet) and see the real places (including the
fortress, La Bahia Mission, and the battle scene of San Jacinto where
Sam Houston shouted "Remember the Alamo" to rally his troops.) You will
also take a trip to state and national archives to view original maps,
documents and pictures important to both Mexico and America. Brought to
