The Final Assault on the Alamo

If you've watched the previous five installments of this series, thanks and congrats on making it to the end! If not, there's a playlist of the series on this channel. We've covered the ground from the arrival of Santa Anna in San Antonio de Bexar through his decision to stage a final assault. This is an encapsulation of how the Battle of the Alamo played out.

All credit to James Boddie for granting me permission to use his fantastic 3D renderings of the Alamo compound to show you what it looked like in 1836. Thanks to celebrated military artist, Gary Zaboly, for the use of some of his remarkable illustrations. You both gave this series texture, faces, and a life it would have lacked without your work.

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
