🎙 Episode Description
As Texas moves into the “high holy days” of March, Tweed Scott takes us back to the beginning of the Alamo — not as a battlefield, but as a mission built for prayer on the northern edge of New Spain.
In this episode of The Texan Edge, we walk through the twelve-day siege that transformed limestone walls and dusty courtyards into sacred ground of another kind.
From William Barrett Travis’s famous “victory or death” letter to the final line drawn in the dirt, this is the story of how nearly 200 men — from Tennessee, Kentucky, Ireland, Mexico, and Texas — chose to stand together when surrender was still an option.
The Alamo was more than a fight. It was a promise. And that promise still echoes.
