Travis Drawing Line

Did Col. Wm Travis really draw a line in the sand with his sword at the Alamo?

Stories abound that Colonel William Travis drew a line in the sand with his sword telling the men in the Alamo that there was no escaping the Mexicans and that all who wanted to stand with him should cross the line.

Legend has it all but one man did. How real is this story?

The current thinking is that it probably did not happen. On the other hand, so far as is known, anyone who could have vouched for the story died in the final assault that morning 170 years ago this March 6.

The dramatic tale did not appear in print until 1873, nearly 40 years after the battle. The man who wrote the story for the Texas Almanac - William Physick Zuber - later admitted that while he reconstructed major portions of Travis' speech, he included only one paragraph of fiction. Unfortunately, he did not say which paragraph that was.

In the end it matters not whether Travis actually drew a line in sand. We Texans know that Texas, like America, is not some dry collection of facts.

Travis and the other heros of the Texas Revolution are part of the glory and the dream lives in our hearts and that is the truth of Texas.
