Remember the Alamo
Counted Cross Stitch Kit
| Founded by Spanish missionaries in 1724, Misión San Antonio de Valero was secularized in 1793 as the town of San Antonio grew around it. In the 1800s, Spanish cavalrymen named the former mission the Alamo. During the Texas Revolution, Texian and Tejano volunteers ousted the Mexican troops in San Antonio and occupied the Alamo in December, 1835. On March 6, 1836, Santa Anna's soldiers attacked in the pre-dawn darkness and by sunrise had overwhelmed the defenders. "Remember the Alamo!" became the battle cry for the remainder of the revolution, and serves today as a reminder of that heroic struggle. In 1905, the Texas State Legislature granted to the Daughters of the Republic of Texas the custodianship of the Alamo. |
