William Barret Travis has been selected by voters as the 2023 Top Texan Tournament Winner.
After multiple weeks of legendary Texans facing off in exciting matchups during this Texas-style March Madness tournament, William B. Travis secured the final victory over second-time, second place finisher Selena Quintanilla.
Dr. Richard Bruce Winders, Alamo Director of History and Curation, reports that Travis, during his role as commander of the Alamo, repeatedly attempted to rally help for his besieged garrison.
“His letters, carried out by couriers, give us a glimpse of life inside the Alamo during the 13-daylong siege,” Winders details. “The writings of this highly literate and passionate young man are some of the most stirring pieces in American History.”
