In this photo, The Alamo in San Antonio, Texas is shown in the 1860's. The famous slogan 'Remember The Alamo' is in reference to the Battle of The Alamo on March 6, 1836. Mexican troops led by General Santa Anna defeated the Texian soldiers defending the former Roman Catholic mission.
Among those who lost their lives that day was Davy Crockett, an American pioneer, soldier, trapper, explorer, and Congress man.
Today, The Alamo is a museum which attracts thousands of tourists yearly.
