   I was discussing this just today with my friend Billy Bob.  I remember
mama and I remember Pearl Bailey.
   Perhaps the American Periodical Series has a little better than 1844.
Newspaperarchive was surprisingly unhelpful.  Usually, a Texas paper would have
this and it would be copied by a hundred other papers (some of which are on
Newspaperarchive).  But no earlier hit is there.
   "Remember 9-11" has been used often and has many hits, but I haven't seen
it as a rallying cry on the same scale as the above.

Pg. 114:  The lines were now formed, and Houston rode up and addressed the
soldiers.  Those who heard him, say that he made the most impassioned and
eloquent appeal they ever listened to.  The words seemed to flow along the lines
like streams of electric fluid, and when he gave them for their watch-word,
REMEMBER THE ALAMO, it struck like a bolt of fire.  The watchword had no sooner
falled from his lips, than it was caught up by every man in the army, and one
simultaneous shout broke up into the sky--_Remember the Alamo_--_Remember the
Alamo_, was repeated,...
