Soldier and defender during the Battle of the Alamo (1800–1836), best known as having been the artillery officer of the small garrison, and for being the husband of one of the only three non-Mexican survivors to live through the battle, Susannah Dickinson, as well as the father to infant daughter Angelina Elizabeth Dickinson, whose life was also spared. Rare manuscript DS, signed “Almaron Dickinson Capt,” one page, 7.5 x 4, December 10, 1835. Dickinson signs off for a lost horse. In full: “I do hereby certify that Landon Webster of the Brass Gun Constitution 1824 lost a Rone horse and saddle valued at Fifty Dollars while on duty during the attack on St. Antone.” In good condition, with central horizontal and vertical fold, several small tape repairs and repairs to paper loss, lightly affecting a few words of text, scattered moderate toning and soiling, and pencil notations to bottom of page, some of which provides a transcript of the document, with the other notation reading “Landon Webster Lill–302 note still alive in 1858 Dickinson close friend of Travis, Died at Alamo.” A scarce offering from one of the last Alamo defenders to be killed in action. The Robert Davis Collection.
