RTA056 takes the collection outside the Alamo walls. Sam Houston sits on a chestnut horse with his sword raised, giving the RTA range a mounted leader for the wider campaign that followed the siege.
RTA032 makes the Alamo feel like a defended position. Its field gun and three crewmen introduce a shared task, with the broad carriage and different working poses creating a scene that is more than a row of individual riflemen.
Travis is unusually low to the ground in RTA019. A drawn sword, a braced hand and equipment lying on the base turn the commander into part of the immediate action, rather than a figure standing above it.
RTA015 presents Davy Crockett bareheaded, with a long gun held across his body. The open face and restrained stance give this miniature a different character from the familiar coonskin-cap silhouette, leaving room to consider the volunteer behind the legend.
