The real truth of who survived the Alamo...
..is forever lost to history. Many did escape the final assault serving as couriers, harbingers for supplies, and so on.
Besides Mrs. Dickenson, Col. Travis' slave, and Moses Rose there are reports and accounts of others.
There were those who considered Mr. Rose a coward; I do not. It was his initial reports of what was gong on that led to some of what we know today.
Like I said in a previous post, the only "winner" at the Alamo was the traitorous Santa Anna. Everyone else, dead or survived, Texain, Tejano, or Mexican, was a victim. And while that battle was in another time and another place, the worst we and our successors can do is forget or "clean up" what happened there and at Goliad.
Santa Anna was a tyrant to everyone, he was not a man of honor, and he should be forever regarded to the flames of perdition where all tyrants so rightly belong.
