One of the earliest known drawings of the Alamo in 1845. Allowing for the damage inflicted by the Mexican Army in 1836 and by the effects of time, this is probably close to the original appearance of the fortress, although the "Long Barrack" and the adjacent buildings are probably a bit too high, and the peculiar "points" and buttresses on the building in the foreground may be artistic license.

Acknowledgments
It is not possible to undertake a work of this sort without the help and advice of many people.
Several Alamo descendants provided interesting and useful information about their heroic ancestors, and I would like to thank them by name: Kevin L. Wornell, several times grandson of Henry Warnell; Myra DeVee Vanderpool Gormley, descendant of Micajah Autry; and Jack Mitchell, several times grand-nephew of Isaac G. Baker and grandson-in-law of Gordon C. Jennings; and Jack Coffee, the several times great grandson of Jesse B. Bowman. In addition, Shannon Elder was able to provide information about his several times great grandfather, Josias Bradley Beall, who perished with Fannin's men.
Many other people provided general advice on matters from the area of the Presidio La Bahia to the nature of a Blue Norther. These include Prof. John Boardman, of Brooklyn College, Austin Bay, Dennis Casey, Steve Cole of F.Y.E.O., Robert Hall, William S. Gross, Steve Petrick, Bob Dennis, Paul Morgan, Roger Covington, D. Mohney, Chris Goodey, Mark Turnage, R. Watson, Karen L. Myers, Dave Zincavage, M. Raymond, James Dingman, Jaime Delsen, Frank Deis, Jim Woolsey, Judith A. Trolinger, and Rhonda McLure.
This project benefited enormously from the existence of GENIE, General Electric's electronic mail network. The management of both the military and the genealogical bulletin boards were generous in permitting me to make use of their facilities, and many of their patrons are included in the list above.
The Daughters of the Republic of Texas were very cooperative in locating and providing access to materials.
Happy Shahan, of the Alamo Village, in Brackettville,

Texas, and Richard L. Curilla, of G.T.T. (Gone to Texas) Films, were both very generous with their time and advice, as well as permitting me to wander through the recreated Alamo during a visit not long ago.
Prof. Helga Feder and the staff of the C.U.N.Y. Graduate Library were enormously helpful in locating materials, as were the people of the New York Public Library.
