On March 5th 1836 William Travis drew a “line in the sand” asking those who would stay and defend the Alamo to cross and join him. They knew the final Mexican attack would come imminently. The colloquialism in a modern context - line in the sand - comes from this moment. All but one defender crossed the line to join the the final defense.
William Travis was only 26 when he died at the Alamo. Begs the question: what have we gotten done by 30 these days?
