Preserving the History of Alabama March/April 2010 Page 2
March/April 2010 THE ABBHS NEWSLETTER ALABAMA BENCH AND BAR HISTORICAL SOCIETY Remembering the Alamo In the cold predawn darkness of March 6, 1836, Lt. Colonel William Bar- rett Travis, commanding the tiny garrison of the Republic of Texas at San Antonio De Bexar, leaped from his cot, grabbed his saber and shotgun and headed for the north wall of the former Roman Catholic mission known as the Alamo. Within minutes, Travis lay dead on the parapet with a single 3/4 inch lead ball from a Brown Bess musket embedded in his forehead. By the time the sun rose, over three hundred Texians, Tejanos and Mexicans lay on the blood soaked ground with Travis. Thus, an obscure Alabama attorney rose from laughing-stock to leg- end. William Barrett Travis was born near Red Banks, South Carolina in 1809 and came to Conecuh County, Alabama with his family in 1818. He worked on his father's 200 acre farm near Sparta and attended the Sparta Academy until “...I am determined to sustain age 16 or 17 when his father sent him to Claiborne Academy in neighboring myself as long as possible & die Monroe County. Travis was so successful at the Academy that he soon became, like a soldier who never forgets first, a tutor for his fellow students and eventually a teacher. In 1828, he mar- what is due to his own honor ried Rosanna Cato, one of his students, and nine months and thirteen days later, and that of his country - Victory Rosanna bore their first child, Charles Edward. -
