The siege of the Alamo continues from February 24 to March 5, exhausting the garrison and grinding it down. Only token reinforcements arrive, and the Texan world at large seems to have little understanding or appreciation of their plight. Rather than wait three days for the arrival of his heavy artillery, Santa Anna orders his officers to prepare for an infantry attack on the fort.
