Throughout the day, the Texian forces maintained constant
fire upon the Mexican work parties.
According to General Filisola, the Texians were seen working on their
own ditch inside the parapet of the cattle pen.
This effort later proved fruitless and was harmful to the Alamo’s defense
by undermining the walls, essentially removing any walkway the defenders might
have had.
General Gaona received a dispatch from Santa Ana of the 25th
requesting three battalions as quickly as possible. Gaona complied.
The Gonzales Ranging Company begins their march to the Alamo
with 25 men answering Col. Travis call for reinforcements. Eight others join along the way. They will become known as the Immortal 32.
