This is one of those letters that hit me so hard, I have it memorized, even years later when I learned all about the Alamo. Makes me proud to be from Texas.
It makes me want to defend Texas and waiting for the Governor to give the Word to Protect the Border and Defend the Alamo. Victory or Death save the Republic of Texas
What’s remarkable about this is that the first voice, makes it sound like he is a seasoned old man. He was 26! A kid. Leading men like James Bowie, and David Crockett. Astonishing to think about the kind of man that would take, and honestly what he would be like in todays society.
Thank you sir for creating and posting this incredible tribute. I forwarded it to everyone I know and received a lot of positive feed back that YOU should've gotten. Again thanks for marking this day in such an honorable and worthy fashion in remembrance of the Alamo defenders. BRAVO ZULU! God Bless the Sovereign State of Texas!!!
@@eddywallace1 The facts are this: The Anselmo Vergara & Andres Barcenas (Seguin's men)report, the one they give Houston and the people at Gonzales, on March 10, four days after the battle. They received the information on the SAME day of the battle. Hence, it's credible. "...Travis had shot himself or stabbed himself..." Since Col. Navarro wrote of Travis and his head wound, Travis must have shot himself.
Every time I listen to Travis's letter tears come to my eyes

I read this remarkable letter to my students every March 6th. God Bless Texas
One of the greatest reply in History. Travis knew what lie ahead but still fought to peserve Texas
This is so powerful & legendary. Ty for making this amazing tribute.

This should have more views. Great video man
LONG LIVE THE LONE STAR STATE
Hey, John. Was glad to see one of my photos in your video. Thanks.
Rare sentiments today.
What piece of music is that in the beginning? Starting with the snare hits.... I've heard it before but....
Live free or die free
Victory or death.
Why are Texans so proud? Here's why.
Roger, and you were there?
LIVE FREE NOT DIE!!!!!!
Texans should never forget what these men gave to create the great state of texas and should never let that trash n washington destroy it.
Yep! The GOP is trash
SAPD would have gotten all of the Alamo ARRESTED and side with santa anna
Yes and the Democratic Party would sell Texas for a few pesos
tRump would sell it and keep the money 🤣
Read the book" Forget the Alamo" for a different perspective
Solo cuentan lo que les conviene pero no dicen que se apropiaron de una tierra que no era de ellos
Travis committed suicide at the north wall, when he saw all was lost!
Shut ur mouth u were not there
