Episode 23: The Siege Of The Alamo
The Siege of the Alamo: Santa Anna and his troops have arrived in San Antonio, with plans to take back the town and end the Texas Revolution, once and for all. But at the Alamo, William Barret Travis has a small band of soldiers and volunteers defending the key stronghold.
Today we reveal what happened in between the barrage of cannon fire, who answered Travis’ calls for help, and how the Alamo became hopelessly outnumbered as its Defenders faced down the reality of war - when Victory or Death become all that’s left. Featuring the Alamo's Senior Researcher & Historian Kolby Lanham.
