Being a monumental event in the Texas Revolution, The Battle of the Alamo was a thirteen-day battle at the Alamo Mission near San Antonio. In the early morning of the final battle, the Mexican Army advanced on the Alamo. Quickly being overrun, the Texian Soldiers quickly withdrew inside the building. The battle has often been overshadowed by events from the Mexican–American War, But the Alamo gradually became known as a national battle site and later named an official Texas State Shrine.

Name Meaning

English and Scottish: most probably a habitational name from Routledge Burn (Cumberland), whose name may mean ‘loud stream’, although it is possible that the stream takes its name from the surname, in which case the surname is probably from a lost or unidentified place. Routledge , the more common form in the British Isles, is found mainly on the English-Scottish borders.
