The Mission at the present day Alamo in Texas was a religious mission. So many of the skills that were taught by the missionaries related to religion, livelihood, and literacy. The children and parents would have been taught basic reading, recitation and writing skills. They also would have been taught basic cleaning, food growing, and food preparation skills. They would have been encouraged in the gainful skills that they already had.
The mission was operated as such for almost seventy years, 1724-1793. During that time, it was called La Mision San Antonio de Valero. With its disbanding, land was given to those whom the missionaries had taught.
In the early 19th century, the area attracted a steady military presence. Cavalry soldiers were stationed there. The area came to be known as Alamo, for two reasons. One was the presence of the cottonwood tree, which was 'alamo' in Spanish. The other was the origins of many of the soldiers in Alamo de Parras in Coahuila, Mexico.
