Siege of the Alamo - Day Three - Santa Anna Closes In

On the third day, the Mexican army pushed closer to the Alamo and took fire from the Texians, and General Santa Anna found himself some companionship for the siege.

Special thanks to James Boddie for permission to use his fantastic 3D renderings of the Alamo compound. My gratitude to the military scholar and artist, Gary Zaboly, for the use of some of his remarkable illustrations. Without the talents of both of these gentlemen, I'd have an impossible time helping you visualize the Alamo in 1836.

The primary reference book for the details of the siege was that of COL. Alan Huffines. It is a must for any student of Texas history and may be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Noble-Men-Alan-Huffines/dp/157168892
