In the early morning hours of March 6, 1836, after a thirteen day siege, the besieging Mexican army surrounding San Antonio, Texas, launched a surprise attack upon the presidio of the Alamo, which was defended by U.S., Texian and Tejano volunteer militia units. The cheering Mexican soldiers, along with the accompanying bugle call of the "Deguello", soon betrayed the surprise attack. Within an hour and a half, the entire garrison of 182 - 225 volunteers had been "put to the sword" and General Santa Anna had won his victory at the cost of some 311 of his brave officers and soldiers. Even more, he created an American legend that began with the "Deguello at Dawn".
