Description
The Alamo, built in 1718, stands proudly against a light blue Texas sky, its tan stone walls a testament to history. A Texas flag waves atop the iconic structure, capturing the spirit of liberty. This colorful postcard, published by Nic Tengg in the 1960s (based on the post card markings), commemorates the brave defenders who perished there.
