Albert Levy (surgeon)

Albert Levy (surgeon)

Dr. Albert Levy, Albert Moses Levy, was a Jewish Texan known for being a surgeon to revolutionary Texan forces in 1835. Levy enlisted with the New Orleans Grays, a volunteer regiment that was formed to join the Texas revolt. The regiment soon joined the siege of the Mexican fortress of San Antonio de Bexar, December, 1835. The Texas Army was poorly armed, clothed and fed. Morale at Bexar was low. The men were ill prepared for a long siege and many were at the point of abandoning the effort to capture the fort. [1] The very next year Dr. Levy joined the Texas Navy. [2]
