Back when I was a Texas history teacher, I always enjoyed the unit on the Alamo. The kids loved it so much that they were eager to talk about what they had learned as well as write journal entries from various historical figures' points of view. There was never a shortage of questions either. In retrospect, I must say that the Alamo unit had a tendency to invigorate the class.
The Siege of the Alamo began on February 23, 1836, when the troops of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna surrounded Mision San Antonio de Valero, which we know as "The Alamo." Here is Marty Robbins singing about the famous battle. His song reminds me of the tales of Menger Hotel guests hearing the ghosts battle in the night.
