Last night's PBS American Experience was about the history leading up to the Battle of the Alamo, and Texas' independence, then addition to the Union. This gentleman's story was featured, Jose Antonio Navarro.

Thanks Chik...
Lots of rich history on the Southwest, and especially the battle for Texas.
It just burns me up, when a misplaced thinking person, like Tony Valdez attempts to convolute, and distort historical facts.
