Episode 92: The New Orleans Greys
A simple flag with its gold fringe trim flew at the Alamo during the fateful battle on March 6, 1836. The flag belonged to the New Orleans Greys, a volunteer company that joined the Texas Revolution. Most of its men never lived to see an independent Texas.
We reveal the pivotal role the New Orleans Greys played during the Siege and Battle of the Alamo, how their company flag stands the test of time, and the legacy left behind by their sacrifice for freedom. Featuring the Alamo's Senior Historian Ernesto Rodriguez and Alamo Living Historian Scott Jones.
