[Victoria Delsoul]

Evening all!

There was no safe position on the walls of the compound. Each time the Texian riflemen fired at the troops below, they exposed themselves to deadly Mexican fire. On the south end of the compound, Colonel Juan Morales and about 100 riflemen attacked what they perceived was the weak palisade area. They met heavy fire from Crockett's riflemen and a single cannon. Morales' men quickly moved toward the southwest corner and the comparative safety of cover behind an old stone building and the burned ruins of scattered jackals.

Evening Victoria.

Ironically, what was perceived as the weak spot in the Alamo, the palisade, ended up being one of the best defended positions.
