The Battle of the Alamo ends on March 6 after a thirteen-day siege in which all Texan combatants are killed. (According to one Mexican diarist, a few defenders, including Crockett, had survived the siege and were captured alive, but were promptly executed on Santa Anna’s orders.)

The alcalde of San Antonio reports cremation of one hundred and eighty-two defenders' bodies; one defender's burial by a Mexican army relative is allowed.

Santa Anna's army casualties have been estimated as about six hundred to one thousand troops—the quoted number of Mexican soldiers killed varies greatly.

The defense of the Alamo proves to be of no military consequence for the Texan cause, but its martyrs will soon be hailed as heroes.
