FUCK MEXICO!

There were actually 30 more that came from Gonzalez, TX. The one that couldn't cross over was Bowie who was dying from TB. My husband's great great uncle was led out of the Alamo by Suzanne Dickenson.

Sang by our very own Ulster Scot ... Johnny CashThe Alamo and the Ulster Scots The final assault came before daybreak on the morning of March 6, 1836, as columns of Mexican soldiers emerged from the predawn darkness and headed for the Alamo's walls. Cannon and small arms fire from inside the Alamo beat back several attacks. Regrouping, the Mexicans scaled the walls and rushed into the compound. Once inside, they turned captured cannon on the Long Barrack and church, blasting open the barricaded doors. The desperate struggle continued until the defenders were overwhelmed. By sunrise, the battle had ended and Santa Anna entered the Alamo compound to survey the scene of his victory. People worldwide continue to remember the Alamo as a heroic struggle against overwhelming odds ??? a place where men made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. For this reason the Alamo remains hallowed ground and the Shrine of Texas Liberty Nine of the 189 men, mostly Texans and Tennesseans, who died at The Alamo in March, 1836, fighting for the freedom and liberty of Texas, were born in Ulster, and many others in this gallant number, like Davy Crockett, William Travis and Jim Bowie were first, second or third generation away from 18th century Scots-Irish pioneering settlers who crossed the Atlantic on the immigrant ships. Ulster-born soldiers who died at The Alamo were: Samuel Burns, Andrew Duvalt, Robert Evans, Joseph Mark Hawkins, James McGee, Jackson J. Rusk, Burke Trammel and William B. Ward Heroism was a distinct characteristic of the Scots-Irish immigrants who settled on the American frontier in the 18th century and the raw courage shown by this dogged, determined people in very difficult circumstances helped shape the fabric of the United States as an embryonic nation and, ultimately, as the world power it is today. Faith and Freedom were the cherished watchwords of the doughty Scots-Irish Presbyterians, and these ideals kept them going as they moved during the 17th century Plantation years over the short sea journey from Scotland to Ulster, and then trekked arduously across the Atlantic on the adventure into the great unknown of the frontier lands of the "New World." Celebrated Northern Ireland historian-folklorist the Rev W. F. Marshall summed up their work ethic and commitment to a cause: "The Scots-Irish were the first to start and the last to quit. Vigour and grit of the race were seen in their pioneering instinct." A Scots-Irish prayer ran: "Lord grant that I may always be right, for Thou knowest I am hard to turn."

Great song. I too prefer Donovan's version. But the whole world should never forget the Alamo. I remember as a kid back in the 1950s, seeing the film of Davy Crockett--starring Fess Parker--in a local Dundee (Scotland) cinema. After the real battle, the Mexican soldiers were deeply moved by the stance and bravery of the defenders that they took the ashes of Crocket, Bowie & Travers, whose bodies had been ordered burnt by Santa Anna, & placed them in coffins with their names painted on them.
