Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 42: Myths & Legends Of The Alamo

After the Battle of the Alamo, just a few survivors remained to share the story. Their firsthand accounts quickly spread. But in this pre-digital era, the stories evolved to include some of the myths and legends we still hear today.

Today we reveal some of the biggest tall tales, from Travis' line in the sand to Sam Houston's order to blow up the Alamo. Our experts separate fact from fiction and put these myths and legends in their proper place in how people across generations Remember The Alamo. Featuring the Alamo's Senior Curator, Historian & Lecturer Ernesto Rodriguez and the Alamo's Director of Interpretation Tom Castanos.
