Alamo

The salvation of Texas depends in great measure on keeping Bexar out of the hands of the enemy. It serves as the frontier guard Picquet, and if it were in the possession of Santa Anna, there is no stronghold from Which to repel him in his march toward the Sabine .... Colonel Neill and myself have come to the solemn resolution that we rather wants in these ditches than give it up to the enemy , writes David Bowie 1836, Henry Smith, the governor of the provisional Texas government. Colonel Bowie was supposed to pick up (the inventor of the Bowie knife, which had previously all Scouts) so only the guns from the mission station in Bexar. Needed by the General Sam Houston for his fight against Santa Anna . But Bowie decided to jointly defend the young Colonel William Barret Travis, the Alamo mission.

Then there is the Colonel Davy Crockett by with a dozen sharpshooters, now they have since three Colonels, Bowie, Travis and Crockett. They all die together today, 175 years ago. They are all national heroes become. Remember the Alamo! is a phrase familiar to every American ( Johnny Cash sang about it) - even if you usually do not really know what was going on. But if need be, we still have the John Wayne film The Alamo from 1960 in which John Wayne plays Davy Crockett, Laurence Harvey to Colonel Travis and Richard Widmark David Bowie. However Hollywood as Historian not necessarily the best source for historical truth, and an American historian has said, short and sweet: there is not a single scene in 'The Alamo' which Corresponds to a historically verifiable incident .

since the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, Americans have always territorial claims filed for today's Texas, but it's a long way to the free Republic of Texas. Now in the Texas Revolution, the fight in the most important phase is entered, because the General Santa Anna, the Constitution of 1824 was repealed. The flag, which he sees in his siege of the mission of Bexar is not yet the famous Lone Star, it is the Mexican flag with the addition 1824. The battle for the Alamo decide nothing, but takes the case of the fort and the death of his defenders, hundreds of volunteers to the small army that builds General Sam Houston.

The decision in the Texas Revolutuion falls a month later at the Battle of San Jacinto in Houston that manages to defeat with his small band of the superiority of the Mexicans. And they probably have it Remember the Alamo! called. Santa Anna is said to have slept through the whole thing, because he amused himself with a beautiful woman who is as Yellow Rose of Texas received in the stories. Historians believe nothing of this story. So that's unfortunately always the best stories are never true. But myths adhere tenaciously, no matter what the historian. The song The Yellow Rose of Texas becomes one of the most popular songs of the American Civil War, and in the 20th Century, everyone has sung. Even Elvis.

Antonio López de Santa Anna fled, disguised as a Mexican farmer, but is captured. Sam Houston gives him life. What is a fail-safe, so he can continue to drive in Mexico on the loose. If you want to know about the largest tourist destination in the U.S., now is not the John Wayne movie. Closer to reality is the film The Alamo of 2004 (which was at the box office is a huge flop), even if I do not believe so completely like that Davy Crockett (played by Billy Bob Thornton) in the face of the Mexican army has played violin . His violin is now in the museum, and you can obviously still play on it. If you want to know all about The Alamo, buy John Myers Myers (the real name) The Alamo. Published in 1948, applied again and again. Only 160 pages long, but well researched and very readable. 1200 no footnotes.
