The Alamo, day by day

Robert, over at Blackfork, is commemorating the current anniversary of the Battle of The Alamo in 1836 by blogging the events of each day as they occurred, based on the best historical evidence. So far he's done four days, and he's bringing the siege to life for me in a way that I find very interesting. He adds a human touch.

Here are direct links to the days he's done so far: or you can simply click here to go to his blog home page, and scroll down to read each day in reverse order.

Introduction: 13 Days to Glory

Day One: The Mexican Army Arrives

Day Two: Shoes, Cannon, Corn and a Recon

Day Three: Love and War in La Villita

Day Four: Wood, Water and Blood

Thanks, Robert! Very interesting reading.
