I see you made sure to depict the chapel of the Alamo without the gable which we see today but which had not been there at the time of the battle.
Well I'm trying to draw the battle so I wanted to make it accurate. Hopefully I will have it done soon. My dang scanner removed several small details from the picture though.
Have you visited the Alamo?
Right after I was born, my dad got stationed at Randolph AFB in San Antonio, where we spent three years. Unfortunately, in all that time, we never once visited the Alamo, even though it was practically right across the street from us. I wouldn't have remembered it anyway. I was only three.
Did you watch the 2004 movie
Again, no I haven't. I wish I had though. I have been looking for it at the store but haven't had much luck. I have seen bits and pieces of it on Youtube though. the only movie I have seen involving the Alamo was the 1955 Davy Crockett movie. It was probably one of the more historically accurate ones in regards to the battle.
Yes, I've heard of Rose. He has been called the Coward of the Alamo. Whether he actually deserves that title or not is a matter of opinion, but I imagine he spent the rest of his life like Bruce Ismay, shunned and humiliated. Somebody even made a song parodying Rose, called "Moses Rose of Texas" to the tune of "Yellow Rose of texas".
