## Image Caption
[William Barret Travis](https://www.worldhistory.org/William_Barret_Travis/) (1809-1836), sketch by Wiley Martin (1777-1842). The only known portrait of Travis in his lifetime. Later paintings, after Travis' [death](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Death/) at the [Alamo](https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2805/the-alamo/) in 1836, were more idealized. This is how Travis may have looked during the [Anahuac Disturbances](https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2795/anahuac-disturbances/).
