{"product_id":"fighting-backwoodsman","title":"Fighting Backwoodsman","description":"\u003cp\u003eA long rifle was slow to reload and carried no bayonet, which was fine at a distance and fatal up close. Once the Mexican columns were over the walls, there was no time to measure powder and seat a ball — the fight collapsed into hand-to-hand across the plaza and through the barrack rooms, fought with knives, tomahawks, clubbed muskets, and bayonets. A backwoodsman who had fired his last shot simply reversed the rifle and swung the heavy stock like a club. The whole assault, from the first men at the walls to the last defender down, took under an hour on the morning of 6 March 1836, and its final minutes were the closest and cruelest of the battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKing \u0026amp; Country's figure is that moment — a buckskin-clad defender who has fired his last shot and gripped his long rifle by the barrel to swing the stock two-handed at a soldier coming over the wall. He wears a fringed buckskin hunting frock with a beaded chest band, a dark fur cap, green cloth leggings and beaded moccasins, a tomahawk and knife still at his belt.
