Siege of the Alamo - Day Two - Victory or Death!

On the second day, some siege housekeeping was in order, some Texian cannons were dismounted by Mexican artillery fire, James Bowie collapsed, and William Barret Travis wrote his most soul-stirring letter.

Special thanks to James Boddie for permission to use his fantastic 3D renderings of the Alamo compound. Thanks to the best military artist working today, Gary Zaboly, for the use of some of his remarkable illustrations. You both helped bring the story to life.

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