ALAMO DEFENDERS CALL FOR HELP IN 1836

On this day in Western History: Feb. 23, 1836 – The Siege of the Alamo ...

    On February 24, 1836, in San Antonio, Texas, Colonel William
    Travis issued a call for help on behalf of the Texan troops
    defending the Alamo, an old Spanish mission and fortress
    under siege by the Mexican army.

    Though Santa Ana’s 5,000 troops heavily outnumbered the
    several hundred Texans, Travis and his men determined
    not to give up. On February 24, they answered Santa Ana’s
    call for surrender with a bold shot from the Alamo’s cannon.

    Furious, the Mexican general ordered his forces to launch a
    siege. Travis immediately recognized his disadvantage and
    sent out several messages via couriers asking for some
    reinforcements. Addressing one of the pleas to “The People
    of
    Texas and All Americans in the World,” Travis signed off
    with the now-famous phrase “Victory or Death.”
