Texans fighting for independence from Mexico had seized the structure and sent Mexican troops away from San Antonio the previous December. Colonel James Bowie and Colonel William B. Travis commanded the small force defending the Alamo, including the famous backwoodsman Davy Crockett.The Mexican army, led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna had been ordered to recapture the Alamo and take no prisoners.
