- more than 2.5
million people
a year visit the
4.2 acre complex
known worldwide
as "The Alamo."
Most see the old
mission where
a small band of
Texans held out
for thirteen days
against the centralist
army of General
Antonio Lopez
de Santa Anna.
The memories of
James Bowie, David
Crockett, and
William B. Travis
are as powerful
today as when
the Texan Army
under Sam Houston
shouted "Remember
the Alamo!"
as it routed Santa
Anna at the battle
of San Jacinto
on April 21, 1836.

- the chain
of missions established
along the San
Antonio River
in the 18th century
are reminders
of one of Spain's
most successful
attempts to extend
its New World
dominion from
Mexico. Representing
both church and
state, these missions
were charged with
converting the
local Native Americans,
collectively called
Coahuiltecans,
into devout Catholics
and productive
members of Spanish
society.
