The Alamo FlagThis is the banner that flew over the Alamo for 13 days as
less than 200 Texans held off a Mexican army of over 5,000 men. On March 6, 1836 the Alamo had fallen. It is
estimated that 182 Texans lost their lives while approximately 1500 Mexicans were killed and another
1500 Mexicans were wounded.

The Gonzales FlagThe Mexicans loaned the Texans a cannon to keep the Indians away, but then thought better of the idea and asked for the cannon back. This flag was the Texan’s
answer as the first shots of the war for independence were fired on October 2, 1835.

Flag of the Texas NavyIn November of 1835 the General Council formed the Texas
Navy, purchasing the first ships: the Independence, Brutus, and Invincible. If the Texas Navy had not been able
to keep the crucial supply lines to New Orleans and America open, the Texas revolution would have failed. The ships flew both the Texas Navy flag and the Alamo flag.

First Flag of the RepublicSelected by five signers of Texas’ Declaration of
Independence, this flag may have been inspired by Colonel Fannin’s request: “Give us a flag to fight under as unlike
theirs as possible… in time to hoist it in defiance of Santa Anna.”
