 Here's a companion overview to one on the previous page. Craig Covner noted the parochial school version of the Long Barrack. (Note the palisade running from the south wall of the church to the acequia. This would allow the Texians to get their water without being fired upon.) |

 Storm Townsend's 1968 overview of the Alamo seems to have been based upon Joseph Hefter's painting. (From THE SIEGE AND TAKING OF THE ALAMO, by Gen. Miguel A. Sanchez Lamego.) |

Great thread, Nef! Very interesting drawings and paintings! It seems like every artist has his own view of what the Alamo looked like. Some of them are rather imaginative.

Nef, where did you dig up this sketch? The Texas History Movies comic. They did a reprint of it for the Sesquicentennial. |
