1836 · Remember the Alamo
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
Derivative of Lucia , with the addition of the productive suffix -inda. The formation is first found in Cervantes's Don Quixote ( 1605 ), but was not much in use in the 17th century except as a literary name. Lucinde was used by both Molière (in Le Médecin malgré lui, 1665 ) and Friedrich von Schlegel (in his novel Lucinde, 1799 ). It enjoyed considerable popularity in England in the 18th century, and has been in use ever since.
