Kolby Lanham is a senior researcher and historian at the Alamo. The Battle of the Alamo was a pivotal event during the Texas Revolution, where a small group of Texan defenders held out for 13 days against the vastly larger Mexican army led by General Santa Anna. Taking place from February 23 to March 6, 1836, the siege ended in a brutal assault that resulted in the deaths of all the Texan fighters, including notable figures such as William B. Travis, James Bowie, and the legendary frontiersman Davy Crockett. Crockett's presence at the Alamo has since become a symbol of courage and sacrifice, embodying the spirit of resistance that defined the battle and galvanized the Texan cause for independence.
