William B. Travis



William Travis was a man born in 1809. He studied law and became an attorney. He was married and had children and ran a newspaper. His marriage failed and so he headed to Texas to open a lawyer practice. As a Texas land owner, he joined the Texas forces against Mexico. He had 30 men in his charge when he entered the Alamo and soon found himself in command. He sent several requests for reinforcements and bravely fought against the Mexicans.  Unfortunately, he died at the war of the Alamo in 1836.
