Well, isn't that an interesting question. You see, there were a number of brave souls from Tennessee who perished defending the Alamo. While the exact number may vary in historical accounts, we can honor their courage and sacrifice by remembering their contributions to our shared history. Let's paint a little tribute to these heroes with some happy little Tennessee orange and Alamo brown.
There are estimated of between 120 and 175 defenders at The Alamo.
The "official" numbers vary from 189 to 257 defenders. There were several noncombatants which are probably what cause the confusion. All the defenders died fighting except a half dozen that were taken prisoner who were taken to Santa Anna and hacked to pieces by his officers for Santa Anna's entertainment.
It was originally found that 189 Americans died at the Battle of the Alamo. This is the current official number. However, new historical estimates may guestimate the number as high as 257.
