To the People of Texas
& all Americans in the world—
Fellow citizens &
compatriots—I am besieged, by a thousand
or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna—I have sustained
a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have
not lost a man—The enemy has demanded a surrender at
discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if
the fort is taken—I have answered the demand with a cannon
shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls—I
shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the
name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American
character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch—The enemy is
receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or
four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined
to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never
forgets what is due to
his own honor & that of his country—Victory or Death
William Barret Travis
Lt. Col. comdt
P.S. The Lord is on our
side—When the enemy appeared in sight we had not three bushels of corn—We have
since found in deserted houses 80 or 90 bushels & got into
the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves—

Song of Life
By Charles Mackay
A traveler on a dusty road Strewed acorns on the lea; And one took root and sprouted up, And grew into a tree. Love sought its shade at evening-time, To breathe its early vows; And Age was pleased, in heights of noon, To bask beneath its boughs. The dormouse loved its dangling twigs, The birds sweet music bore—It stood a glory in its place, A blessing evermore. A little spring had lost its way Amid the grass and fern; A passing stranger scooped a well Where weary men might turn. He walled it in, and hung with care A ladle on the brink; He thought not of the deed he did, But judged that Toil might drink. He passed again; and lo! the well, By summer never dried, Had cooled ten thousand parchéd tongues, And saved a life beside. A nameless man, amid the crowd That thronged the daily mart, Let fall a word of hope and love, Unstudied from the heart, A whisper on the tumult thrown, A transitory breath, It raised a brother from the dust, It saved a soul from death. O germ! O fount! O word of love! O thought at random cast! Ye were but little at the first, But mighty at the last. |
