Episode 122: The Alamo Defenders' Fate
A battle for the ages, breaking out at dawn. A fort, surrounded. The men inside, outnumbered by about ten to one.
We reveal what happened after the final shot of the Battle of the Alamo was fired, the collective fate of the Alamo Defenders’ bodies, and how generations of Texans who came after made sure we always remembered their sacrifices – and of course, remembered the Alamo. Featuring the Alamo's former curator Dr. Bruce Winders and the Alamo's Researcher Thomas Ledesma.
