Description
  • A postcard depicts the infamous Alamo.
  • Caption: "The Alamo. Built 1718. San Antonio, Tex.", " THE ALAMO built in 1718 is a melan-choly but picturesque ruin. In 1836 it was the last rallying place of Travis, Crockett and Bowie, and their devoted band of Patriots, who beneath its hoary arches fought for Texas and freedom until the last man had yielded up his life's blood, and it stands to-day a silent memory of the sorrows and glories of the past."
