Here’s some pictures of the soldiers’ reunion and a story of the Gonzales cannon. The picture we all know of Santa Ann surrendering to Sam Houston, wounded under the tree, has a humorous tale. Bostick was 16 at the time, however the artist painted him as he was when they met. Bostick is the old bearded man with a black hat beneath the hanging vine and behind the chesty man in the white shirt.

My son wants to visit the Alamo in late June.
Any suggestions for a trip there?

Thanks
