On March 6th, 1836, The Alamo was taken by Antonio López de Santa Anna and his 1,800 soldiers. No one other than women, children, and William B. Travis's slave were left alive.

The characters will be reimagined into a Wings of Fire setting, so don't be confused when you start reading it. Just read the title. ^ Note~ Some quotes and scenes are used/heavily based off of the movie "The Alamo".
