'Victory or Death' Letter


In honor of Texas Independence Day, March 2, let's take another look at "The Travis Letter."

Written in 1836 by Commander William B. Travis from the Alamo, the letter requested help for the besieged Texans who were fighting the Mexican army. You can read more about The Travis Letter in "The Ultimate Texas Letter" post from 2013.

The letter is housed at the Texas State Library and Archives Commission in Austin and will be on display through Friday, March 6. If you can't make it to Austin, you can see the letter online at https://www.tsl.texas.gov/travis-letter.html.
