Wow. My grandpa is supposed to be in a crowd scene of The Alamo. I only recently found out & was very surprised, as he was a crusty old-school cowboy who rode & broke horses. Never thought of him as a movie extra.

“Wow. My grandpa is supposed to be in a crowd scene of The Alamo. I only recently found out & was very surprised, as he was a crusty old-school cowboy who rode & broke horses. Never thought of him as a movie extra.”

My grandfather was a Wyoming cowboy, born in 1881, and worked in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.

He didn’t marry until he was about 40. His nickname was “Tex,” so I assume he may have been in Texas during his bachelor cowboy days.

After marrying and becoming a father, he rode horseback for Marathon Oil to inspect pipelines in northeast Wyoming.

My brother in law was one of the good guys in the latest Alamo movie. He was on screen a couple of times.
