Growing up in Texas, the history of the Alamo was a VERY important part of the curriculum.

[@sandyanncollins5328]

My son when he was 3 was lost at the Alamo had half the people there looking for him the whole time he was sitting on the cannon there Talk about a scary moment

[@brandiebrownie]

“Ozzy peed on this “ Jessica- “ I’m out “ lol that made me laugh. Safe travels and thanks for the share stay spooky 🖤🖤

[@billlozier5551]

David Crockett better known as FRONTIER LEGEND DAVY CROCKETT. Disney made a whole series on him back in the 60s. I loved them all. Fess Parker played Davy. Perfect casting.

[@Danno1983]

@Bill Lozier I believe thers a song bout Davy Lee Crockett

[@billlozier5551]

@@Danno1983 no Davy Crockett...not Davy Lee that is weird.

As a native Texan, I wish to thank you for your respectful view towards one of our greatest historic treasures. Inside there is a plaque that bears the names of all the people who died defending the Alamo from Gen. Santa Ana. It may surprise you to know that they not only came from all parts of the United States, but even other countries, including Mexico. They came to Texas seeking to make a home. In valiantly giving their lives, they made the ground they fell upon sacred. For me, everytime I go, it's a worshipful, reverent, sobering experience. We native Texans are annoyingly proud and boastful of our home, but we'll happily welcome anyone who treats her with respect. We'll fill your belly with Tex-Mex or spicy Texas barbecue brisket (you gotta try Rudy's moist brisket!) and we'll talk your ears off about how much we love Texas. If you ever travel to Mineral Wells, TX, you might want to visit the Baker Hotel, which is highly regarded as haunted, with one person accidentally beheaded by a faulty elevator back in the early 1900's, as I recall. www.onlyinyourstate.com/texas/baker-hotel-tx/ Blessings!

[@brianschwab2548]

The Baker is being restored and should be open in 2024 or 2025. They have a Bonnie and Clyde room that they stayed in for a time. Also haunted by Mr Bakers mistress who killed herself. Ghost hunters have visited and got some crazy things on video!

[@cautiouslyoptimistic7174]

Why would anyone dislike these videos? These vids give me ideas to go travel around Texas.

[@sakurapablo671]

Glad I visited the Alamo, which is 13 years ago to almost the day by the summer. Nice place to visit,.

[@DollyTheLlama]

Little known fact, there is a basement under the Alamo's gift shop and there is a hallway from it that connects (or used to, at least) with the Menger Hotel. It's from when the area was used as the San Antonio police and fire department in the late 1800s. This is what the gift shop, the meeting hall, and the old records building were originally constructed for. Geronimo was held there for trial before he was taken to prison in Florida. I learned this from someone who had worked there for years. My family used to go there for meetings once a year and was always entertained with history and stories from our friend. I believe the place is definitely haunted. Some sort of residual energy there at least. They've had newly hired park police quit after just a few nights on the job due to experiencing things that they refused to talk about. Just found your channel not long ago. Love it! Thanks!

[@sambowest3758]

I thought the basement was a lie

[@moviegeek9540]

Jessica nopeing out of there after learning Ozzy peed on the statue made my day lol. Love you guys!

[@jasonwilliamson8416]

My great X3 uncle was the Sergeant Major of the Alamo. Sadly I have never been to San Antonio, so thank you very much for this video.

[@Vinylrebel72]

Sweet, I live in S.A. That place is haunted, also, the Menger Hotel next door is SUPER OLD and has a lot of historical items in it, it's also very haunted too... the manager told me once... "If you take pictures and see anything, please let us know."

[@macinfloydvolk]

Everything old and historical is haunted - it’s always haunted … 🙄

[@gratefulhippie3673]

I too live in S.A. agree .

[@Abbyguh82]

My descendent Gregorio Esparza is buried there [After the battle, Mexican Gen. Santa Anna ordered the defenders' bodies burned on three large pyres near the mission, Gregorio Esparza, was granted a traditional burial because his brother was granted permission to retrieve his body.] Our family has a book about him, cool to have family ties there, much respect ❤️ Just found your channel, love it thanks for sharing, I subscribed! Peace and love to you both ❤️✌️

[@Kyle7K]

Pee wee's bike was for sale about 12 years ago and I seriously considered buying it. One of my goals was to ride it on RAGBRI (yearly bike ride across Iowa) and to ride to the Alamo. I missed my calling.

[@Ryan-rr5fg]

The Alamo is legendary, very historic

[@laneclayton2806]

I love how my favorite part of the video is always the intro

[@dolores4126]

Also if in San Antonio visit the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Little Flower its amazing. Don't forget to visit the missions too.

[@charlescahoon3557]

I have a family member’s name on the monument. Another thing, Phil Collins was fascinated as a kid by the Alamo movie starring John Wayne. He was a major collector of Alamo memorabilia and not long ago donated his collection to the Alamo. Next time in Texas swing by Houston and I’ll buy y’all a beer.

[@justinecosper3791]

If you go back in time further, the Battle for Texas Independence began in a small town called Gonzales. When Travis asked for reinforcements, the only ones able to come were 32 men from Gonzales. I live in that town. You should come if you ever get the chance.

[@samanthamontgomery235]

I recommend you come back to SA around October and book a ghost tour. We have some amazing ghost stories here, many of them are around the missions (including the alamo) the Menger hotel, and the old jailhouse. We don't often get as much attention for our hauntings as other places but I promise you we are just as haunted if not more so than anywhere you've heard of. There are rumors that Teddy Roosevelt haunts the Menger.

[@mikebrown2948]

YES I went back to visit my home town in San Antonio TX to be at FIESTA Texas theme park for a ACE/rollercoaster day event.I all so took time in downtown San Antonio /Alamo

[@dustindavis5882]

My 5th great grandfather was William B. Travis, the commander of the Alamo!

[@sergiobasilioli384]

The Alamo always reminds me of John Waynr!

[@Myrna611]

WOW!! Fabulous history lesson!! Thank you! Of course, now I can't stop singing "the legend of Davy Crockett".

[@95clannad]

Nice all those vids..👍

[@Guywithacamera13]

You guys were in San Antonio.. that’s actually kind cool

[@bigdaddy7119]

I was stationed at Ft Sam Houston in San Antonio for Combat Medic school in the Army, after going from National Guard to active duty in ‘94. It blew my mind the first time I saw the Alamo, both by its actual size and it’s location. It’s a lot smaller than I expected, but VERY beautiful! As for it’s location…. I always thought it was out in the middle of nowhere (which it probably was when the battle took place), but nope. Smack in the middle of a courtyard/square downtown, and if you blink you’ll miss it. A VERY cool part of American history though! 👍🏻

[@themerchantofengland]

Wow, I live in the UK and I love your history over there in the good ol USA. Thanks guys, I love your content, you two are the cutest couple...ha ha...love ya x.

[@rickhenry1833]

#Michael. Archaeologists working in the Alamo found there was a type of basement that was located in the Colonnade part of the Alamo during the pandemic. I follow the work they have been performing on it for years and they Archaeologists put out a monthly newsletter with their findings. It's pretty cool. Yes, technically there is... Ozzy pissed on the grassy fenced off area in the front of the Alamo, not the monument as other rumors have stated. I was there when that happened... It was typically an Ozzy day...

[@mattjenkins207]

Man you guys live a supercool life !!!!

[@GraveObsession]

dont forget to check out the well and the wall where a baby was entombed...also the guenther hotel across the street has a lot of paranormal activity

[@zeptepi8205]

Hahaha! Jessica really is adorable. So cute. lol. Yall are great. :)

[@caveman3021]

The story with Ozzy was Sharon always took his clothes away on tour so he couldnt go out and buy booze. He found her green evening dress and wore that lol So not only was he peeing on a sacred monument, he was wearing a dress. The story goes that the cop said "How would you like it if I peed on Buckingham Palace?" To which Ozzy replied "I wouldnt give a f*ck mate...I dont live there!" Of course, the cop ran him in. Great material guys. Keep it up : )

[@bigdaddy7119]

He wore Sharon’s dresses on more than one occasion, they showed that in Motley Crue’s “The Dirt” movie. Ozzy was walking around with a dollar bill hanging out of his ass and offering it to some old couple by the hotel swimming pool for drinks. 😂

[@shop99er]

One of the defenders, William Cloud is a cousin of my wife. I have a cousin buried in the mass grave at Goliad.

[@blackphilipalvarez1305]

[@thanicagayledealva505]

watching from philippines since day 1

[@thorfinthorfin3010]

Sam Houston was 6'6 - 6'8 I don't think it wize to take a whizz on the Alamo. He might have some descendants still around. He was from the Scottish Fighting Clan Houston and a direct descendant of a French/Norman Knight Templar. Great video!

[@luchalibre383]

I hope you visited some of the haunted sites in San Antonio.

[@LaurensTravels]

I only knew about the Ozzy bit 😆 thanks for the lesson! Not religious but love the architecture of cathedrals.

[@bucksfan3880]

Remember the Alamo

[@MrEaglesfan40]

[@z.e.a2610]

[@gustheartist8853]

The whole place you’re standing at is a cemetery

[@JoeMotionVideos82]

Johnny Kellogg is a 5th great cousin of mine. I saw his name on the monument! I heard vague things about his association to it, now I know for sure, thanks!!!

[@sarahb7440]

Many years ago Santa Ana’s uniform and bed was on loan for display at the Alamo

[@brookdeford7908]

[@D.B.Cooper-1971]

PEE WEE HERMAN's bicycle is in the basement of the alamo...

[@Angie2343]

There's a basement NOW at the Alamo.

[@naomihernandez7826]

You should look at the history of Fredericksburg, Texas.

[@dalekosak7611]

Been there. Great place. A land mark in American history, past and present.

[@ericthepunisher]

This is a perfect example of how pop culture can encourage the pursuit of knowledge.

No country on Earth know the true price of freedom as Americans ! Land of the free ! God bless

[@5.7.0bassin2]

Way back one they used muzzleloaders witch pretty much shots balls instead of like a reg bullet

[@jeep146]

Live in SA. Remember when Ozzie came for the concert. He was higher than a kite. He got cited and had to go before a judge. He also got banned from playing in SA. The whole area is going to be redone and made more like it was during the battle. The top part of the Alamo was added years after the battle. I think there was a small dug out at one time. The reason is Davy Crockett survived the battle but was killed by Santa Anna afterwards. I think Davys men hid him there in the hopes he would survive. The Mexican army didn't have time to bury them. Remember they were after the Texas Army. The two areas they were burned is to the left of the Alamo at or near the old fire station and to the right where the River city mall is.

[@christophermichael.w.7577]

I Still like to think that the Alamo does have a basement and inside is pee-wees bike.

[@MrBlink909]

[@catherineduarte4824]

You should visit the ghost tracks on the south side of San Antonio but I don’t know if the ghosts still push the cars off the tracks because Union pacific redid them but it’s still a good urban legend

[@ajj3939]

You should take the haunted locations tour (when they open back up anyways). And there is a haunted old mental institution near the cps coal plant.

[@st0nercat]
