你知道為什麼美國人記得白楊鎮嗎?在1836年,有184名德州人在一處名為「白楊鎮」的古老佈道教堂裡與墨西哥軍隊發生衝突。德州人為了脫離墨西哥獨立而戰鬥,並且在前年的12月在聖安東尼奧地區擊敗墨西哥軍隊。詹姆士‧包威 (James Bowie) 上校與威廉‧崔維斯 (William B. Travis) 上校率領一小隊的士兵防守著白楊鎮教堂,其中還包括著名的硬漢大衛‧克羅 (Davy Crockett) 。

由安東尼奧‧羅培茲‧聖塔‧安那將軍率領的墨西哥軍隊接到要收復白楊鎮的命令。


Do you know why Americans remember the Alamo? In 1836, 184 Texans fought the Mexican Army from inside an old mission chapel known as the Alamo. 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.
