Col. Davy Crockett ~
Commander ~ Tennessee Volunteers
Davy Crockett came to Texas from Tennessee with
18 Volunteers, just for the fight! He was a key
figure in the Alamo, keeping not only his men's
moral up, but also the moral of Jim Bowie's men
after Bowie got sick with pnuemonia.
Davy Crockett and his men were some of the last
men fighting, as they fell back to the Chapel for
a better line of defense. They were all killed in
or near the Chapel, or what is now known as
THE ALAMO
