Today marks the beginning of the High Holy Days of Texas History. The siege of the Alamo began 185 yrs ago on Feb 23rd with a sentry in the San Fernando Church tower spotting a flash in the distance. An approaching Mexican cavalry was confirmed by two Alamo scouts on horseback. The battle ended on Mar 6th with the death of most of the Alamo's inhabitants.
There probably wouldn't have been a Texas without an Alamo.
