It all started on March 6, 1836. On that fateful day, Davy Crockett (famous for cutting new trails and killing bears) woke up and rose from his bunk on the main floor of the Alamo. He climbed up to the observation post along the west wall of the fort.
William B. Travis and Jim Bowie (famous for inventing the Kentucky 'toothpick') were already there, looking out over the top of the wall. These three great men gazed at the hordes of Mexicans moving toward them. With a puzzled look on his face, Crockett turned to Bowie and Travis and said,
“Are we getting some landscaping done today?"
