The shrine at the Alamo is wonderfully restored. The grounds are probably a lot more beautiful today than they were in Davy Crockett's time. The map shows Santa Ana's final victorious attack at the lower left (northwest) corner of the fort. The 200 defenders kept the 4000 man Mexican force at bay for several weeks prior to the hour and a half final assault. The Alamo itself is shown at the top center.
