The quizzes tend to be good history lessons , see how much we remember from school.( when they actually taught American history) Bob L. 5 years ago Re: question ten, I was taught in school that Colonel William Travis was the leader of the defenders at the Alamo. Davy Crockett held the same rank as Colonel Travis and James Bowie. What I just looked up and found is that a man named William B. Harrison is listed as the Commanding Officer of the forces at the Alamo. Phyllis 5 years ago 8/11. Seems to be an average of these test. Just means I learn something new. Bob R. 5 years ago You have one of the questions wrong. Col. William Travis lead the forces at the Alamo; not Davy Crockett Tad 5 years ago And now, George P. Bush is trying to make this sacred ground into an amusement park and even move the cenotaph. Nothing’s sacred any more. Lynn 5 years ago Crockett was there but not the leader. wolverine70 5 years ago Great quiz! Let’s remember how this hard fought battle that was a big part of Texas becoming independent and then part of the United States shouldn’t be diminished by allowing an invasion to occur over an unsecured border! 11/11 for me. Mike b 5 years ago I’m related to Davey Crockett though my father and I believe colonel Travis was in command of the Alamo. Davey was just commanding the Tennessee unit of volunteers. Ken 5 years ago As the Texas State Historical Asspciation States in The Handbook of Texas the commander at the Alamo was William Barret Travis, who achieved everlasting distinction for his service during the battle. Eleanor 5 years ago I had to take the test a few times but that is helpful in strengthening my memory. Bernard Broderick 5 years ago Davy Crockett did not lead “the Texas forces”. Colonel Travis did. Crockett was there with Tennessee fighters. He was a leader, but not the leader. Rod Ramsey 5 years ago In the Alamo Quiz you show that Davy Crockett was the Texas commander. He was present at the battle, but the true commander was Wm. Travis. John D 5 years ago Could someone set the record straight re. Question 10 I also thought Travis commanded the forces at the Alamo Leland Patterson 5 years ago Davey Crockett did not lead the Texas forces against the Mexic forces. It was William Travis. Diana Erbio 5 years ago 11 out of 11! And I’m not even a Texian ? Gloria Freitas 5 years ago I’m glad I’m not the only one who knew Davey Crockett didn’t command the Texan forces at the Alamo. I just guessed the only name I didn’t know… Harold Watkins 5 years ago Travis was the leader of the Texas force not Crockett ROBERT 5 years ago Finally, a perfect score, even if it was only 11 questions. (With help from Walt Disney and John Wayne.) Having read the other responders, question, 10 reads “Who led………., not who commanded………… I think Jim Bowie was actually in command, but was sick or wounded prior to the siege, so command was transferred to Travis, but he was overshadowed by Crockett. But neither Bowie , nor Travis was offered as a choice, so the answer had to be Crockett Overall, I think there were like 135 brave heroes ROBERT 5 years ago Oh yes, and I believe Wm. Travis was only a Lt. during the battle, but may have been posthumously advanced, in recognition of his sacrifice. Or not. Spike 5 years ago Question 10 is wrong, Davy Crockett did not lead all the forces, Crockett only led the volunteers from Tennessee that came to help. The commander was James Neill, and he split, leaving Lt. Col. William Travis in charge. JR S. 5 years ago #10 is incorrect David L Wood 4 years ago In reguards to the Alamo Quiz You might want to correct the right answer on question #10 William Barrett Travis and Jim Bowie were Co-Commanders of the Texian forces, David Crockett was not in command. Phil 8 months ago 11 out of 11!?…I am shocked. Didn’t know I knew so much about the Alamo. wpDiscuz360Would love your thoughts, please comment.x()x| ReplyInsert Login Login Join Renew Member Benefits Newsline Member Benefits Advocacy Our Actions About Advocacy Issues Get Involved Weekly Update Annual Report Find Your Representative AMAC App Better for America Podcast Book Club AMAC Blog FAQ About Us Overview Our Team Our Stance on Key Issues Magazine Medicare Games Voice Your Opinion in AMAC Polls AMAC in the Media AMAC Action AMAC Foundation Social Security Guarantee Prime Directives Brief Prime Directives Details The AMAC Store Sweepstakes Contact Advertise with AMAC Terms & Conditions Privacy Policy
