Remember the Alamo!
by R. R. Fehrenbach
John Ord goes back to observe the Alamo and perhaps to persuade some reluctant defenders
that even if the Alamo falls, it’ll nevertheless be the turning point in winning the
west.
“The Alamo, sir.” A slow, steady excitement seemed to burn in the Britainer’s
bright eyes. “Santa Anna won’t forget that name, you can be sure. You’ll want to
talk to the other officers now, sir? About the message we drew up for Sam Houston?”
“Remember the Alamo!” by R. R. Fehrenbach, in
Analog, December 1961.
