There must be some misunderstanding, there must be some kind of mistake.

Cynicism of leftists (as I’m sure these smear artists are) never ceases to amaze. Glad they’re being sued.

“In the late 2010s Chris Tomlinson, a columnist for the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express News, along with Vanity Fair correspondent Bryan Burrough and Jason Stanford planned to co-author Forget the Alamo, with Tomlinson taking a lead role in researching a chapter about the planned redevelopment”

That about says it all. Alamo haters trying to sell a book debunking things created publicity.

OK, I’ll bite. Why would Phil Collins become obsessed over the Alamo?

“Alex McDuffie Antiques brought in around $150,000 in annual sales before the article and book were published. After publication that number dropped to $9,800”

Attorney interest in taking on the case goes to zero.

I’d suspect that most anything of interest or value after the Battle of the Alamo walked off within a pretty short interval. Alamo artefacts probably belong in a case across from the shards of the True Cross and the Nails driven into the Savior. It seems that there is an unending stream of such artefacts traveling around the world.

Collins got hooked on David Crockett watching American-made TV shows when he was a kid. Which naturally led to an interest in the Alamo.

His was the largest known private collection of Crockett and Battle of the Alamo memorabilia, some estimates putting the value at $15 million.
