Milestone Monday
THE FALL OF THE ALAMO
On this day, March 6 in 1836. after a thirteen-day siege by an army of 3,000 Mexican troops, the 187 Texas volunteers defending the Alamo, including frontiersman Davy Crockett and colonel Jim Bowie, were killed and the fort was captured. This milestone event remains one of the seminal cultural touchstones of the American mythic identity; an historical event, but romanticized as a symbol of American heroism and exceptionalism in the pursuit of freedom, never mind that the holding of the compound and the settlement of San Antonio was an act of Texan imperialist expansion.
There are other items we could have used to commemorate this milestone, but we chose the comic book Walt Disney’s Davy Crockett at the Alamo, published by Dell Publishing Company in 1955, because it reflects the ongoing jingoistic pride in standing against those who would halt American determinism. This Disneyfication of the historical record is based on the final segment of Walt Disney Pictures’ 1955 film Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier, starring Fess Parker as Davy Crockett (as pictured on the comic book’s cover).
The comic ends with, “’Remember the Alamo!” became the battle cry for the Texans, and violent opposition was aroused against the invader.” It is of course arguable who the invader is here. Also, “Although the Alamo did fall to Santa Anna’s overwhelming forces, the story of the brave and valiant stand by the men of the Alamo spread far and wide. It became an inspiration to freedom-loving people everywhere . . .” As usual during this period, the issue also includes the seal of Dell’s “Pledge to Parents” that “it contains only clean and wholesome juvenile entertainment . . . you can be sure it contains only good fun.”
