thank you for the informative doc. my grt grt grt grandfather was col. William barret travis. his greatness runs through my families viens.

It makes proud to be a Bonham

I am a cousin of John Butler Bonham on his mother's side. Very proud of my family's mark in history.

182 brave men died at the Alamo defending freedom. What is San Antonio, Texas like today? Haven't been there since I was about six years old and that was some sixty years ago.

hes my great great great uncle

Travis and Bonham will live forever in the hearts of Texans.

James is my ancestor 😊

God bless our American... AND Texas... HEROES!!!

Did anyone else hear the music Dat moosic doe

I’m a descendant of him. I even look just like him.

my family im travid from travis family

they never speak of crckett's ride ever, even tho he was suffering a bout of malaria~~

Wasn't Travis and Bonham cousins?

People knock Travis because he abandoned his pregnant wife and small daughter in Alabama when his businesses there failed, and for being a hothead who got all his men killed by trying to defend an impossible to defend position, but I think that's a little unfair. He was suffering from syphilis, taking mercury for treatment, and that can affect both thinking and behavior. Perhaps he deserves sympathy since he was ill. As the video mentions, both Travis and Bonham were vocal proponents of the legal theory of nullification, the idea that a state has the right to nullify, or invalidate, any federal law it deems unconstitutional, which was connected to the belief that states had the right to secede from the United States. As strong proponents for the expansion of slavery, they helped win Texas' place in history as the only republic to guarantee the right to own slaves and prohibit emancipation.

If you’re related to these bros, you’re related to me. So congratulations. The music does suck though.

These people were all from slave holding states, from the South. As we all know, Davy Crockett surrendered at the Alamo, AFTER the battle and, was executed at once. Travis committed suicide at the north wall, when he saw that the south wall had fallen to the brave troops of Colonel Morales. Jim Bowie was hiding under his mattress, and was killed like that, without ever using his so-called, Bowie knife. The real patriotic men in the battle, were the Mexican soldiers, who were just defending their land from armed illegal aliens from the States. It's just that simple folks!
