Detailed explanation-1: -Mission San Antonio de Valero was founded in 1718 by Fray Antonio de Olivares. Olivares arrived in the San Antonio area in that year with Native American converts from Mission San Francisco Solano near San Juan Bautista on the Rio Grande.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Battle of the Alamo was fought between the Republic of Texas and Mexico from February 23, 1836 to March 6, 1836. It took place at a fort in San Antonio, Texas called the Alamo. The Mexicans won the battle, killing all of the Texan soldiers inside the fort.
Detailed explanation-3: -On March 6, 1836, after 13 days of intermittent fighting, the Battle of the Alamo comes to a gruesome end, capping off a pivotal moment in the Texas Revolution. Mexican forces were victorious in recapturing the fort, and nearly all of the roughly 200 Texan defenders-including frontiersman Davy Crockett-died.
Detailed explanation-4: -Louis “Moses” Rose, sometimes written as Lewis Rose, (1785? – 1850/1851?) was according to Texas legend the only man who chose to leave the besieged Alamo in 1836, rather than fight and die there.
