Who told Sam Houston about the fall of the Alamo?
Green B. Jameson
Why did Sam Houston send Jim Bowie to the Alamo?
General Sam Houston did not yet have enough soldiers under his command to relieve the Alamo, so he sent orders for Colonel James Fannin to do it, as Fannin had the largest Texan force available at that time. Fannin complied with the order, but two of his wagons slipped their wheels, and he returned to Fort Defiance. After the Alamo was taken by the Mexican Army, Fannin surrendered Fort Defiance without a fight, whereupon he and his entire command were put to death by the Mexican Army; the infamous Goliad Massacre. Although Fannin was one of the agitators of the Texan Revolution at Gonzales, he may have been too hestitant to engage Mexico after the Revolution began. He had only 400 Texan troops against 1500 Mexican troops. Houston, although he certainly wanted to help the Alamo, had not even as many troops as Fannin had. As the commander of an army which did not exist yet, Houston had to think strategically, which sometimes means cutting off a finger to save a hand. The Alamo was the finger, and Texas was the hand.
