FAKEBOOK

Name of Leader: William B. Travis

Born: August 1, 1809

From: Saluda County, South Carolina

Family and Spouse:

• Jane (first wife)
• Enid (second wife)
• Children: Sarah, Charles, and others

Education:

• Attended local schools in South Carolina
• No college education noted, self-taught in law and military strategy

About me (one unique/interesting thing about you): I am most known for my leadership during the Battle of the Alamo. A unique fact about me is that I wrote a famous letter on February 24, 1836, urging for reinforcements to assist in our fight for Texas independence, demonstrating my unwavering commitment to the cause of freedom.

What’s on your mind? (Use at least 3 complete sentences to write a social media post that your person might have written while he was alive.): Today, as I sit within these crumbling walls of the Alamo, I feel a surge of both fear and determination. Every man here understands that our fight may cost us our lives, yet we stand ready to defend Texas against the invaders. I have faith in our cause and our God-given right to be free! Remember, fellow Texans, "Victory or death!"
