One woman and her baby
of Caucasian race, with some
Mexican women and children
were all that escaped from that

In regard to the
view; the spectator is supposed
to be where the west pavement of
Alamo Plaza is now — a little
South of Houston Street — and
looking southeast, from which
position the Alamo Church is seen
as presented in the picture. A
portion being hidden by what is
now a warehouse (Hugo & Schmeltzers.)
but was then the Convent: in an
upper room of which Bowie was
killed on his cot, where he was
dying of pneumonia (not howev-
er before he had added a few
to the host of the slain.)
