The article listed below from Heron Iron Works describes 4 pounders at the Alamo that were manufactured at Bersham Foundry in Wrexham, Wales, probably between 1770 and 1795.

In the battle of the Alamo (Texas War of Independance), General Santa Anna flew the black flag, accompanied by the song "Deguello" which indicated that no prisoners would be taken. Indeed, none were.

My favorite historical Larson is the Alamo one: View attachment 489327 This was also my favorite Larson cartoon!
It has been home and headquarters to many Hollywood productions working "on location" at nearby Brackettville and James T. "Happy" Shahan's ranch, beginning in 1959 with John Wayne's The Alamo. I stayed there briefly in June, 1987 while working in Alamo - The Price of Freedom, which was also filmed on Wayne's old set.
The 2004 Alamo film is the perfect example, great movie, way better on history and props than any other Alamo movie before it, (or Gods & Generals and a lot of other historical movies for that matter), and a distributors worst nightmare at the box office. Nope no Last Full Measure.
IMO, the Alamo garrison should have withdrawn joined with Houston. This would mean abandoning the townsfolk, the sick and wounded of the garrison (including its commander) to be executed, and all the artillery and ammunition. Plus it would mean nothing would stand between Santa Anna's forces and the towns and farms in the interior.
