The Alamo Defenders
On March 24, 1836, the Telegraph and Texas Register ran the first known list of those who died at the Alamo. That list was far from complete or accurate. Over the years, names have been added and subtracted from the list. Like much of the history of the Alamo, corrections will continue to be made. In publishing this list, we hope to honor all of those who were at the Alamo.
They came from all walks of life, the oldest known defender being Gordon C. Jennings, and the youngest, Anthony Wolfe's son, age 11.
Whether known or unknown to fame, their cause and country still the same.
