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: habitational name probably from Halsey Farm in Sharnbrook (Bedfordshire), whose medieval spellings lack H- but which has been influenced by the adjacent wood, which was once called Haselho but is now also called Halsey. However, the early examples suggest that another as yet unidentified place (or places) may also have been a source.
