Ok long story short, last day of term is next friday, 3 weeks ago my history teacher assigned us a paper on a historical topic of our choosing. he passed out a list and we had to pick our topic from that list, i was one of the last in the class to sign up and had to choose between writing a paper on the treaty of verssille, or the battle of the allmo, i chose the allmo the paper is due on wendsday and i havent started. Ive looked some stuff up but havent found anything pertinant, if any one here could help me it would be a great help

specifically i am looking for:

a roster of all the texan soliders who fought

how long of a period the battle was fought over

the causes of the battle

repercusions of the battle

 

thanks in advance

Okay, first it's spelled "Alamo".  And I will dig up some links on the rest for you. ;)

 

 

ETA:  Okay.  Here are some links that should help you answer all the questions you were assigned to answer for your paper:

• eAlamo.com/texans
  
• Daughters of the Republic of Texas - Alamo History Chronology
  
• The ubiquitous Wikipedia page about the Alamo - the place (You can use their reference links to lead yourself to even more information, if need be.)

• Another ubiquitous Wikipedia page about the Alamo - the event

 

The three most important people you probably will need to know about at the battle at the Alamo are James (Jim) Bowie, David Crockett (yes, that's the Davy Crockett), and William B. Travis.

 

Also look at the library of congress website....

 

http://www.loc.gov/index.html

 

You shoud find stuff like journals, letters, etc that will get you really great info...just use the search on the website. 

 

Plus for anyone else trying to look up something hit up the site as its a great resource of info...

thanks you guys are life savers this is exacly what i needed

You're welcome.  Next time you have a homework assignment though, try using a search engine (like Google, for example).  All the links I gave you I got in about 5 minutes of Google searching. ;)

 

 

yeah i tried using google first but didnt get any results, (probablly the spelling errors kept comming up with photo sites)
