The Alamo
The Battle of the Alamo (February 23 – March 6, 1836) was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. Following a 13-day siege, Mexican troops under President General Antonio López de Santa Anna launched an assault on the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Béxar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas, United States). All of the Texian defenders were killed. But the defeat caused Texans to rally and soon they defeated Santa Anna and drove the Mexican Army out of Texas.

You forgot yonder, yonder there and over yonder.
Yonder is church. Over yonder you will find the county seat. Yonder there is the stock tank.
Yonder - up to a mile, yonder there 1-3 miles and over yonder anywhere in Texas but usually within 25 miles.
