This was my intro to the Alamo as a child, though I was born long after it came out (around the time Alamo: the Price of Freedom was being made.) When I was five years old, my dad got a copy of Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier, probably just to keep me entertained for that afternoon. I ended up watching it almost every day for weeks, and even had my own "Crockett Craze," I had to get a Coonskin cap and a toy rifle for my birthday that year.

Hey, new member here. I was rereading Three Roads to the Alamo and got to the part about the number of weapons Travis had. Apparently he had 25 exploding shells with fuses that could be used as grenades, and 686 solid shot cannon balls. Why didn't they use these at the north wall once the Mexicans were under the walls. These could have been dropped over the wall without exposing yourself to enemy fire.
The boiling oil would also have been a great idea. The bows and arrows would be good to, especially if they were English War bows. Those things have ridiculous range.
