Help Needed At The Alamo
« on: February 23, 2010, 06:21:47 AM »
Feb 23, 1836
Mexican Army Units began arriving at San Antonio. The Texas, just a handful of men, are caught by surprise and assemble in The Alamo. The call is send out for any and all assistance. If you have arms and love freedom you're needed.

We got a good sized contingent from here in Tennessee already there, headed by our Congressman David Crockett.

Mexican cartels Units began arriving at California. The Californian, just a handful of men, are caught by surprise and assemble in The San Juaquin Valley. The call is sent out for any and all assistance. If you have arms and love freedom you're needed.

News reached the Tavern at Washington,Arkansaw territory. Red Rivers up but we should be able to cross by the time Crockett and the boys from Tennessee arrive.

To Andrew Ponton, Judge and
Citizens of Gonzales
February 23, 1836

COMMANDANCY OF BEXAR, 3 o'clock p.m.: The enemy in large force are in sight. We want men and provisions. Send them to us. We have 150 men and are determined to defend the Alamo to the last. Give us assistance.
P.S. Send an express to San Felipe with news night
and day.



From W.B. Travis and James Bowie
To James W. Fannin (at Goliad)
February 23, 1836

COMMANDANCY OF BEXAR: We have removed all the men to the Alamo where we make such resistance as is due our honor, and that of a country, until we can get assistance from you, which we expect you to forward immediately. In this extremity, we hope you will send us all the men you can spare promptly. We have one hundred and forty six men, who are determined never to retreat. We have but little provisions, but enough to serve us till you and your men arrive. We deem it unnecessary to repeat to a brave officer, who knows his duty, that we call on him for assistance.
