The son of Alamo Defender Gregorio Esparza, Enrique Esparza witnessed the brutal battle of the Alamo as an eightyearold boy. Seven decades later, Adina De Zavala, a driving force behind preservation of the Alamo, found 80year old Enrique in San Antonio during her research and helped him tell his story.

These quotes are from a November 1902 San Antonio newspaper article and reflect painful memories of a fateful battle.
