Corrected entry: After the altercation between Bowie and Travis, Davy Crockett informs Travis that he had only fought Indians, except for fighting the British. Nowhere in Crockett's biographies does it indicate he participated in any battles against British troops.
Corrected entry: When John Wayne is running about near the chapel with a torch, inside the chapel, you can see a lot of Mexican soldiers just standing there not doing anything.
Correction: Soldiers sometimes find a spot of relative safety and stay there...it's human instinct to stay safe.
Factual error: The last battle is fought in daylight. In fact in was still dark out on March 6. By dawn all the defenders were dead.
Suggested correction: The last battle started at 6:30 and the sun rose at 6:50, so when the battle started it was already getting light out.
Correction: The Tennessee militia, which Crockett was a member of, was used by Andrew Jackson in 1814 to drive British troops from Spanish Florida and engaged in combat with the British there.
