I do not see how anything in the Mexican account, diminishes in anyway, the heroism of men like Crockett, Bowie & Travis. Just what, really, is the point.

Incidentally, Crockett was apparently quite an all around Conservative. (See Davy Crockett & The Constitution.)

I would, also, highly recommend the John Wayne version of the "Alamo"--perhaps Wayne's most inspiring performance.

One more that I've always liked..."But that don't change the truth none. There's right and there's wrong. You gotta do one or the other. You do the one and you're living. You do the other and you may be walking around but you're dead as a beaver hat."
