Texans like Jim Bowie and Sam Houston were waging a fierce struggle against Santa Ana's Mexican army and Jami MacCallister made the perfect scout for the fledgling volunteer force. What lay ahead of them was a place called the Alamo, thirteen days of blood dust and courage and a battle that would become an undying legend of the American West...
