Overview

Before it became a symbol of defiance, the Alamo was a humble mission on the banks of the San Antonio River. Founded in the early 18th century by Fray Antonio de Olivares, a determined Franciscan missionary, Misión San Antonio de Valero was established to bring faith, farming, and community to the frontier. Over time, it would transform from a place of worship into a fortress, where the fight for Texas independence would be waged. Follow the journey of legendary figures like William B. Travis, James Bowie, Davy Crockett, and Juan Seguín as they take their stand against General Santa Anna's powerful army. Witness the bravery of the Texians and Tejanos who fought side by side for independence. Experience the turning point at San Jacinto, where Sam Houston led his army to a stunning victory that changed history forever. The Alamo and the Birth of Texas is a gripping tale of heroism, faith, and resilience. From its founding by Spanish missionaries to its place in the struggle for freedom, this is the story of Texas-a land forged in fire and defended with honor. Remember the Alamo! LibertasKids.ccom
