What a Crock-et.

Ummm..they held Santa Ana at bay for 13 days. Ok...so Davy was not swingin a rifle at their heads...Instead he was murdered after being captured. Oh..ok...that changes history as we know it.

I am not sure what the big revelations in this book are supposed to be,why this was written about at all and what this person’s point is. Crocket died at the Alamo. Thats what the history says. And it was 13 DAYS and 20 minutes. To pic a nit.

Ahh revisionism. What a jerk.

Newspaper accounts in San Antonio after the Mexicans left counted the bodies that were buried (the Texicans) and estimated the number of bodies they threw in the river to float away and rot(the enemy)and it was around 180 Texicans and hundreds of Mexicans maybe up to 1600. It was an astoundingly pyrhic victory for Santa Ana and Mexico.

Davy Crockett died like the hero he was, with his head up and nothing but bravery in his heart.
