Last stand: Mexican soldiers advance on the fort at the Alamo in the 1960 film

Evidence? The bound manuscript of Lieutenant Colonel Jose Enrique de la Pena, who fought at the Alamo. The contentious account claims Mexican soldiers captured Crockett and several others and hacked them to death

Slaughtered to the last man. . It makes little difference how they were slaughtered.

Perhaps they did die in their beds as the result of Mexican perfidy . That doesn’t make the Americans look bad. More shame to the Mexicans.

I have been to the Alamo.

Despite the towering presence of the Crockett Motel, it’s an impressive landmark/shrine, an integral part of American history, conveniently politically under attack now rather than 10 years ago when this news first came out.

“The line in the sand” is prominently displayed. Alas, the inner battleground is a gift shop, but it’s worth the trip if you’re within an hour of San Antonio.

And go to the the Riverwalk.
