Cockett slowly looked around at the hundreds of Mexican troops surrounding him ; then looking and stareing at Santa Anna and smiling a little , he said , "You're Santanna ?" Santa Anna nodded , and Crockett said , "Thought you would be taller ." He then said to Almonte , "Tell him I am willing to discuss terms of surrender ." Almonte translated in Spanish what Crockett said , and Santa Anna smiled at Crockett , while enjoying a game of cat and mouse .

I got the roughest racin' horse , the prettiest sister , the surest rifle and the ugliest dog in the district . I am half horse and half alligator with a whiff of harricane ..." "Kill him !" David Crockett then said grinning , as he stared directly into the eyes of the execution squad , " I'm a screamer ..." Just then , the men moved forward swiftly and plunged about half a dozen bayonets into Crockett's chest ; killing him . Aterwards , Santa Anna's army took Travis' , Bowie's , Crockett's and the other Alamo defenders , and consumed their bodies by flames .
