Return of the Travis Letter
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 03/24/2024
On February 24, 1836, with the garrison surrounded and the Texan Army at the Alamo outnumbered, one of the most famous letters in American history was written by William B. Travis. Addressed, “To the People of Texas and All Americans in the World,” this letter was a passionate plea for aid for the Alamo garrison. He ended the letter with “Victory or Death” – the only outcome this battle could have.
We invite you to view the original Travis Letter during its historic return to the Alamo. The letter will be on display from February 23 through March 24, 2024 at the Alamo Exhibit at the Ralston Family Collections Center, loan courtesy of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission.
