Description:

The Battle of Alamo

More than 2.5 million people a year visit the 4.2 acre complex known worldwide as "The Alamo." Most come to see the old mission where a small band of Texans held out for thirteen days against the centralist army of General Antonio López de Santa Anna. This fine chess set celebrates the famous battle in 1836 at the Alamo Fort in Texas. An army of 4,000 Mexican troops led by General Santa Anna besieged and attacked the Alamo Fort, which was defended by 182 Texan volunteers

Although the Alamo fell in the early morning hours of March 6, 1836, the death of the Alamo Defenders has come to symbolize courage and sacrifice for the cause of Liberty. The memories of James Bowie, David Crockett, and William B. Travis are as powerful today as when the Texan Army under Sam Houston shouted "Remember the Alamo!" as it routed Santa Anna at the battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836.

This magnificent set represents the combatants at the famous battle of The Alamo. Features finely crafted HAND PAINTED coldcast resin figures. The king measure 3 1/2" tall.

The set comes with a 15" inlaid walnut board.
