It was March of 1836. General Santa Anna led the Mexican army into a massacre of over 200 Texians who were trapped in the Alamo. After almost two weeks of battle, Jim Bowie and Davy Crockette, two American Legends, perished along with others who had migrated to Texas looking for a clean slate. This was a detrimental shot to Texas' fight for freedom.
That's where the story begins, however. This defeat motivated and united the Texian settlers. They rallied over the course of 6 weeks, following the Alamo, led by General Sam Houston. This lead to a big victory over Santa Anna's army winning the independence for which many had sacrificed their lives for.
Sam Houston and The Alamo Adventures explores the events of this important war that changed the landscape of America forever.
