The incident referred to in The Alamo, about an Indian Massacre is well documented. Crockett even tells about it in his autobiography. It was a prime reason Crockett became disenchanted with Indian Wars and Andy Jackson. Crockett's disagreements with Jackson led to his eventual failure to return to Congress, and Crockett's declaration that "they could all go to hell, he would go to Texas".

Crockett tells the story in the film as a way of debunking part of the myth that had grown up about his exploits.

Funny you should mention Indians.

Just the other day, I was talking to a friend who portrayed a certain Mexican officer in the movie, "The Alamo".

Honest!! I really do know this guy. NICE man, really.

Anyway, he said that Disney also cut the parts from the film about the Cherokee Indians serving with the Texicans and quite a lot about the camplife of the Mexicans.

I have not seen the film, but I plan too. I have been a little under the weather of late and that is why I have not seen it as yet. I cannot stand Touchstone but I do want to see my friend in the film.
