This is nice depiction of the battle of the Alamo when it fell on March 6th. The facade is correct too. There are two known flags that flew inside the Alamo and the 1824 Flag was not one of them. There was the Coahuila Y Tejas Flag (two gold stars in place of the Mexican eagle same colors of the Mexican Republic flag which infuriated Santa Ana) and the Louisiana Blue Greys Volunteers Flag. Santa Ana burned the Coahuile Y Tejas flag and sent the Louisiana Blue Grey Flag to Mexico City where it remains. In the 1990s Ross Perot offered 10 million dollars to purchase it and Mexico refused. This Louisiana flag is now 90% deteriorated.
