In the southern part of Texas In the town of San Antone There's a fortress all in ruins that the weeds have overgrown You may look in vain for crosses and you'll never see a-one But sometimes between the setting and the rising of the sun You can hear a ghostly bugle As the men go marching by You can hear them as they answer To that roll call in the sky. Colonel Travis, Davy Crockett, and a hundred eighty more Captain Dickinson, Jim Bowie Present and accounted for. Back in 1836, Houston said to Travis "Get some volunteers and go Fortify the Alamo." Well the men came from Texas And from old Tennessee And they joined up with Travis Just to fight for the right to be free. Indian scouts with squirrel guns Men with muzzle-loaders Stood together, heel and toe To defend the Alamo. "You may ne'er see your loved ones, " Travis told them that day "Those who want to can leave now Those who fight to the death let 'em stay." In the sand he drew a line With his army sabre Out of a hundred eighty five Not a soldier crossed the line With his banners a-dancin' In the dawn's golden light Santa Anna came prancing On a horse that was black as the night. Sent an officer to tell Travis to surrender Travis answered with a shell And a rousing rebel yell Santa Anna turned scarlet "Play deguello!" he roared "I will show them no quarter Every one will be put to the sword!" One hundred and eighty five Holding back five thousand Five days, six days, eight days, ten Travis held and held again Then he sent for replacements For his wounded and lame But the troops that were coming Never came, never came, never came... Twice he charged and blew recall On the fatal third time Santa Anna breached the wall And he killed 'em, one and all Now the bugles are silent And there's rust on each sword And the small band of soldiers... Lie asleep in the arms of the Lord... In the southern part of Texas Near the town of San Antone Like a statue on his pinto rides a cowboy all alone And he sees the cattle grazing where a century before Santa Anna's guns were blazing and the cannons used to roar And his eyes turn sorta misty And his heart begins to glow And he takes his hat off slowly... To the men of Alamo. To the thirteen days of glory At the siege of Alamo...

[@colemanmoore9871]

The Alamo today is just a small Spanish mission and a walled courtyard. Most of the fort's walls are long gone. The main wall was across the street the now runs in front of the Alamo. They have some overhead maps showing where the footprint of the original fort would be today in relation to the moderns streets and buildings.

Texas was one of my favorite trips of all time. I loved visiting the Alamo, the riverwalk, the bats under the bridge in Austin, and the warm water and beautiful sand drifts at Mustang Island. The roads in Texas compared to Canada are phenomenal: the interstates were extremely efficient to travel on (unlike the Trans-Canada Highway) and the backroad highways were still bigger than our highways. It was a pleasure to rent a car and visit as many different places. Plus the barbecue was to die for (finally starting to see good authentic barbecue restaurants up here, but nothing as good as The Big Bib)!

Honestly, I'm enjoying this Channel as much, or more that the Main Chanel.

There is a relation: "Dissatisfied with his stage name as Davy (and Davie) Jones, which in the mid-1960s invited confusion with Davy Jones of The Monkees, Bowie renamed himself after the 19th-century American pioneer James Bowie and the knife he had popularised". He had watched the 1960 movie "The Alamo" and liked the name.
