March 1836 CE

Captain Albert Martin, with thirty-two men (himself included) from Gonzales and DeWitt's Colony, passes the lines of Santa Anna and enters the walls of the Alamo at dawn on March 1.

No further reinforcement arrives.

Numerous sick and wounded from the siege of Bexar, perhaps raising the Texan military total to around two hundred and fifty men as well as noncombatants, will afterwards be reported present also.

Santa Anna raises a blood red flag to make his message perfectly clear: no quarter will be given for the defenders.
