Yep
folks from all over the world came to Texas. Smart people. My lineage can be traced back to Ireland, England and Germany. My brides side of the family are Czech and German. The Czech part of her side came straight to Galveston from their homeland in Czechoslovakia.
Those were indeed some brave men at the Alamo. Sure could use men like that today.
Heres an interesting book for you about Texas that you might like. Evolution of a State written by one of my ancestors, Noah Smithwick. He was a blacksmith by trade. He worked on the famous Come and Take It cannon.

Thanks. I'll bookmark for later. As you know, Texas has a very rich history. For those who don't care to read and would rather get a film version, I'd recommend the John Wayne version of
The Alamo plus
Giant which was released about five years earlier.
Just the music from those two films is legendary.
