The Defenders
Alamo Defenders
As you can see, the defenders of the Alamo came from many places besides Texas. Most were foreigners looking to start over a new life, while others were Mexican citizens (Tejanos) wishing to fight Mexican tyranny.
It is not known how many defenders fought at the Alamo, but the figure is said to lie somewhere between 182-250 bodies cremated by Mexican troops after the battle.
