The Alamo

Posted by Alex

The Battle of the Alamo took place in San Antonio, Texas  Sunday March 6th, 1836. Alamo had about 200 hundred people and Santa Ana had 5000 men in his army. Santa Ana attacked about 5 am on the last day and he won 90 minutes later.

The battle lasted 14 days and only the women and children survived. Santa Ana executed the seven men that survived the battle, and Davy Crockett was one of them.  According to some records two defenders managed to escape. There are many stories that tell slightly different versions of what really happened. The next few weeks I will tell you what happened before, during and after the battle of Alamo.

Here I am outside the Alamo with my brother and sister.

I am going to build this model of Alamo that I got for Christmas. I also have  soldiers, horses and cannons that I need to paint in the right colors.

These are some of the pieces of the model. I have to put the bricks together with the mortar paste.
