The defeat was catastrophic-Travis, James Bowie and famed frontiersman Davy Crockett all died-but the Texans' courage under fire helped galvanize their compatriots. General Sam Houston and others used the rallying cry ''Remember the Alamo'' to whet their troops' appetite for vengeance, and in April 1836, the Texans routed a superior Mexican army and captured Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto.
