SAN ANTONIO, TX — Nearly three million people a year flock to the Alamo, a 4.2-acre stone-walled complex where a small, fierce band of Texans, including Davy Crockett and William B. Travis, tried to repel a 13-day assault by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.
However, this piece of historical Americana doesn’t operate by itself. It takes 90 workers to administer the functions that keep the 300-year-old park open to the public and maintain its pristine condition.
