King & Country · Remember the Alamo · RTA055
RTA055 represents Joe, the enslaved man associated with William Barret Travis who survived the Alamo battle. His experience deserves to be presented in its own right rather than treating him as an unnamed accessory to a commander. The miniature is a representation of a historical individual, not visual evidence for his exact appearance.

Display ideas and companion pieces
The Alamo's account explains that Joe took part in the defense, survived and later described what he had witnessed. A display label can connect the model to that testimony while making his enslaved status explicit. Avoid claiming that the miniature reproduces a documented pose from the fighting or resolves disagreements between surviving accounts.
What to check before buying
Confirm the RTA055 identity and inspect the actual figure, equipment and base. If pairing it with a Travis figure, list the two releases separately. Keep the historical source alongside the model description so a collector can distinguish documented testimony from the sculptor's interpretation.
