This undated historical image courtesy of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission shows the drawing "Siege of the Alamo, March 6th, 1836." Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush is overseeing a 7-year, $450 million revamp of the Alamo, where 189 independence fighters were killed in 1836. That includes restoration of historical structures and building a new museum and visitors' center.
