With all their eccentricities and irregularities they had the stout hearts and hands that were needed to clear the paths.H The Alamo was the scene of one of the most dramatic episodes of American history — the tragic siege which takes on new iaterest and significance in these troubled days of Mexican strife, and for that reason, if for no other, will bear repetition. Since 1822, when Mexico threw off the yoke of Spain, the few American colonists in Texas had endured much at the hands of the new... government. A climax was reached when Santa Arma seized Mexico city, overthrew the constitution- alists, and made himself dictator. He was the particular enemy of the Americans, and ordered the arrest of some of the most prominent among them. This brought clashes be- tween them and the Mexican soldiers. Friends came from Missouri and Louisiana to help, until finally they organized a little army and, with Ben Milam at their head, marched upon San Antonio. After a stubborn house-to-house fight they took the town on the 7th of December, 1835.
