A. He begged Santa Anna to free him.B. He escaped from the Alamo.C. He was rescued by Sam Houston.D. He surrendered & was executed

The Death of Davy Crockett“Some seven men survived the general carnage and, under the protection of General Castrillón, they were brought before General Santa Anna. Among them was one of great stature, well proportioned, with regular features, in whose face there was the imprint of adversity, but in whom one also noticed a degree of resignation and nobility that did him honor. He was the naturalist David Crockett, well known in North America for his unusual adventures, who had undertaken to explore the country and who, finding himself in Béjar at the very moment of surprise, had taken refuge in the Alamo, fearing that his status as a foreigner might not be respected. Santa Anna answered Castrillón’s intervention on Crockett’s behalf with a gesture of indignation and, addressing himself to the sappers, the troops closest to him, ordered his execution…. Though tortured before they were killed, these unfortunates died without complaining and without humiliating themselves before their torturers.” An excerpt from: “With Santa Anna in Texas: A Personal Narrative of the Revolution/ Jose Enrique De la Peña”

General Santa Anna’s Account of the Battle of San Jacinto"At two o'clock in the afternoon of April 21, 1836, 1 had fallen asleep in the shade of an oak, hoping the beat would moderate so that I might begin the march, (to find Filisola), when the filibusterers surprised my camp with admirable skill. Imagine my surprise, on opening my eyes, and finding myself surrounded by those people, threatening me with, their rifles and overpowering my person. The responsibility of Filisola was obvious, because be and only he had caused such a catastrophe by his criminal disobedience."General Houston’s Account of the Battle of San Jacinto" At half-past three o'clock in the evening, I ordered the officers of the Texian army to parade their respective commands, Our situation afforded me an opportunity of making the arrangements Preparatory to the attack without exposing our designs to the enemy… Every evolution was performed with alacrity, the whole advancing rapidly in line, and through an open Prairie, without any protection whatever for our men. The artillery advanced and took station within 200 yards of the enemy's breastwork, and commenced an effective fire with grape and canister.

General Houston’s Account of the Battle of San Jacinto" At half-past three o'clock in the evening, I ordered the officers of the Texian army to parade their respective commands, having in the meantime ordered the bridge on the only road communicating with the Brazos, distant eight miles from the encampment, to be destroyed-thus cutting off all possibility of escape… Our situation afforded me an opportunity of making the arrangements Preparatory to the attack without exposing our designs to the enemy… Every evolution was performed with alacrity, the whole advancing rapidly in line, and through an open Prairie, without any protection whatever for our men. The artillery advanced and took station within 200 yards of the enemy's breastwork, and commenced an effective fire with grape and canister.
