February 29, 1836-March 1, 1836 Day Seven and Eight


February 29, 1836

Santa Ana orders the Jimenez Battalion and the cavalry under command of General Ramirez y Sesma down the Goliad Road to intercept any reinforcements that might have been sent by Col. Fannin.

The Mexicans propose a three-day armistice and several Tejanos leave the Alamo during this time.



March 1, 1836

The Gonzales Ranging Company-the Immortal 32-from Gonzales arrive at the Alamo.




General Sesma advances down the Goliad Road to seek out the Texian reinforcements sent by Col. Fannin to the aid of the Alamo.  Finding none, he returns to Bejar.

The Alamo’s 12 pounder fires two shots, one of the hitting Santa Ana’s headquarters.

I remember the Alamo and visiting it when I was about 10 years old. It was a highlight that summer.
