i wish there was one of downtown San Antonio. I hate what San Antonio has become, I know it's progress but I miss my old San Antonio even from 20 years ago.

I now have a model of the rest of San Antonio as it looked in 1836. One day I will make an improved video that includes more of the city. Follow my progress at: alamomodel.wordpress.com/

I don't know the answer to "how often" but Wikipedia has a list of the known defenders with their place of birth. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Alamo_defenders
@ralphheron65378 жыл бұрын
thank you for your reply. we are all aware that even though the place of birth is given it does not prove country of birth, desertion was common and the practice of collecting bounties by joining different militia/ regiments and then deserting only to rejoin a different corps was quite common, there were deserters at the alamo...however that's besides the point, regardless of country they all gave their lives.

HEY GUYS.... i used this paragraph as a response to one person's naive comment but i see alot of uneducated or miseducated or still naive people with strong incorect opinions have (not questioned...but) made direct incorrect remarks about the flag in this video.... let me share my response to one person with the rest of you................................ "That flag is the actual correct flag... like James said, there were several flags flown during the duration of the alamo defense. This was DEFINITELY one of them. im sorry you saw a different flag flown in the drawing in your middle school history text book and now have biased emotions to the flags flown... but James Boddie got this video DEAD ON!"

Regarding the flag: There were several flags flown at the Alamo. The one depicted in this video is the Texas and Coahuila flag and is described as flying in the Plaza de Armas by Col. Juan Almonte (an eyewitness) in his diary when the Mexican army arrived in Bexar on Feb 23. My assumption is that when the Texians fled to the compound, they brought it with them. The captured flag that is in a Mexican museum is of the New Orleans Greys and can only be described as a unit flag as it only represented a small group of the defenders. Perhaps it flew over the Long Barrack where some of the men were stationed. So what happened to the other flags? Some of the spoils of the battle were carried with the Mexican army through Texas to its defeat at battle at San Jacinto. It is possible that they were lost in the chaos of the aftermath. So, my use of this flag is based on an eyewitness account and a reasonable assumption. This depiction is also shared by noted historians Mark Lemon, George Nelson, Gary Zaboly and Alan Huffines.

@JamesBoddie8 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the question. I know of the 1824 flag but have not seen any evidence that it was there. The two star flag was reported by Col. Almonte and, of course, the NO Grey's flag ended up in Mexico City. There may have been others. If you have a reference for the 1824 flag at the Alamo, let me know.

The immagrants that received the land grants from Mexico did become Mexican Citizens and declared allegence to Mexico. Santa Anna took control of Mexico, negated the Constitution of 1824 and declared himself dictator. Many of the members of the Texas Revolutionary Army. The fight was to reestablish the 1824 Constitution and reclaim the democracy Santa Anna crushed. If Santa Anna hadn't been a tyrant there would not have been a cry for independence or a revolution.

It's so sad to see how much of the Alamo is no longer there. I know that they are talking about a restoration plan, including the South and West Walls, but have ran into many obstacles. Why don't they start with rebuilding the second story of the Long Barracks ? By the way, I love the video, you did an amazing job !

Texas belonged to Spain,Then Mexico won its independence from Spain & encouraged emigration from the US but so many Anglo`s arrived (about 30,000 Anglo`s to 8000 Mexicans by 1834) that its not really a revolution but more of a take over,some may say an "invasion" I am sure that today most people think that the Americans were fighting off an invading army.when in fact that was not the case,Texas was not even part of the USA until 1845 & even secession from in 1861, Texas history is fascinating.

This is far and away the best computerized version of the Alamo compound I have seen. It was good of you to point out where the areas of the old mission once stood while showing the modern look of the city. Many tourists do not realize how large the Alamo was during the 1836 siege. The men that fought and died there would have appreciated your attention to detail, well done.

Mexican government allowed white immigrants come to Texas to populate it. to develope the region with the conditions of becoming catholic, learning spanish and becoming mexican of course. the immigrants didn't do that, the so called heroes of the alamo were adventurers and land speculators the breaking point was that mexico banned slavery and freed blacks of course that enraged those texans and segregated themselves, those are the facts, and the ideals they fought for.

I have spent the last two weeks studying the Alamo, the battle and the history of Texas Independence. I have included books, articles, online sources of all kinds, documentaries, and movies. I especially enjoy "Blood of Noble Men." I can now see why the North Wall was the weakest point with those angled buttresses which permitted the so called "breach" of the fortress. I also like the lunette main gate as you showed it. Wonderful work. Coming to see it in two weeks! Thanks a million!

This is good facts and I am looking forward and excited to visit The Alamo. REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!!

Thank you for your comment. I think that much of it was destroyed by the Mexican army so that it would not be used as a fort again. Over time, much of the stone and timber was reused in building San Antonio.

@silviod100 A few months after the battle, a ceremony was held in which some of the ashes from the three pyres were taken to San Fernando church. They were then returned to the larger pyre. Years later during some construction at the San Fernando church a box of ashes was uncovered that some believe contains remains of the Alamo defenders. It is the contents of this box that is in the small coffin at San Fernando.
@JamesBoddie13 жыл бұрын
@silviod100 The bodies of the Alamo defenders were burned in three pyres outside the compound. Two pyres on either side of Commerce Street and one near the Crockett Hotel. I believe the grass area in front of the Alamo church is to denote the older Indian burial grounds.

Interesting - I didn't realise the area was so big. Many of the defendents were from Britain, and it was a Welshman (not Crockett) who attempted to blow up the amoury. The first casualty among the defendants was from a 'friendly fire' incident when a sentry shot one of their reinforcements
