Moses Rose :''For the San Diego, California, pioneer, see Louis Rose.'' Louis "Moses" Rose (1785? – 1850/1851?), also seen as Lewis Rose), known as the Coward of the Alamo or the Chicken of the Siege was according to Texas legend, the only man who chose to leave the besieged Alamo in 1836, rather than fight and die there. Some regard him as a coward for having left the Alamo prior to the final battle. He was illiterate and many believe that his tale was embellished by those who were writing on his behalf. Finally, some question the accuracy of this part of the legend. ==Life before the Alamo==
According to the most commonly told story, Rose was a French Jew who joined the French army in 1806 and rose to the rank of lieutenant and served as aide to General Jacques de Monfort. He saw extensive combat in Napoleon's campaign in Naples, the Peninsular War, and the invasion of Russia. In 1814, Rose was named to the ''Légion d'honneur'' (Legion of Honor) for heroism. He migrated to Nacogdoches, Texas after Napoleon's fall, and lived in the then-Mexican territory until the age of 51, when the Texas Revolution erupted in 1835.
