If you have a copy of Fehrenbach, everything else is just "oh, and by the way".

Of course, the Mexican nationalists and racist gringo-bashers are trying to rewrite the story of the Alamo, to diminish Travis and Crockett, and by extension all English-speaking white Texans qua white. They're also eloquent on the personal faults of Jim Bowie, and his family connections and composition.

Their message, of course, is the MeCha one: "Your culture is vile, your seed weak, and you have, and deserve, no heroes."

The scum are even trying to teach this line in Texas schools, starting with the universities.

I fear that you are correct. I have not been in a classroom in many many winters, so I don't know first hand how Texas history is taught anymore. I do remember as a kid growing up that we were all proud to be Texans, it was somthing special to us, and still is for me. I'm guessing you are of a like background. It is sad to think the real heros of Texas are being neglected for the sake of touchy feely pc worship.
Remember the Alamo. Remember Goliad.
