Markers at The Alamo

I took pictures of plaques and markers on the Alamo grounds and am posting for your enjoyment. Some I know the story of, others I don't or they are self-explanatory. I hope you like it.
The three below are in what we call the "Support" area, in the back of the complex. 
The garden or arbor area was built in the 1930s as part of President Roosevelt's Works project, the WPA. https://www.history.com/topics/great-depression/works-progress-administration

The one below obviously was not done in the 30s.

You can see this if you look through the gate back near the Women's restroom. The Alamo always has a resident cat. Today, she is a calico named Bella. The story is that there was a cat present at the battle and it was shot by a Mexican soldier, who said "It was an American cat". Possibly apocraphal.
