March 2, 1836-The Alamo-Day 9

Mexican forcers return to the siege routine and continue their cannonde.  Artillery Is moved closer to the walls.  Travis begins to wonder why Fannin's force has not arrived after 9 days.  Plenty of time to cover the 95 miles.

Travis receives a report that there is corn at the Seguin Ranch.  Lt. Menchaca and a detachment is sent to retrieve it.

Mexican forces discover a road within pistol shot of the Alamo and the Jimenez Battalion is posted to cover it.

Unknown to the defenders, Independence is declared at Washington on the Brazos.

Things are beginning to look bleak.

Remember the Alamo
