Protégé: James Bowie's Adopted Alamo Defender
By: JL Gonzalez

During the epic Battle of the Alamo, a small group of Texian and Tejano combatants withstood a siege for roughly two weeks by a statistically more significant Mexican military power.

Nevertheless, that lesser group of men stood their ground until the end. Out of the approximately 200 defenders that fell that day, eight freedom fighters were Tejanos (Texans of Spanish heritage). One of those Tejano defenders was a young man at only 17—a teenager remembered by history as Carlos Espalier.

✅ About Tejano Volunteer Company:

Our main goal here at TVC is to bring a state-wide, renewed awareness and interest to the Texas revolutionaries of our past. Those early Freedom Fighters, both Tejanos and Texians, men and women, fought for freedom and were part of that historical struggle that we remember as the Texas Revolution.

We're going to do this by telling their stories.

These heroes require recognition and respect, and the best way we can do that is to remember them by telling their stories. And then re-telling them.

We bring you all those stories of our heroes and events in an effort that these stories may someday become common knowledge to all Texans, young and old. So share these stories with your friends and family. Texas heroes are due that much.
