That is SO awesome. As a lifelong Texan I really appreciate any visitors to our state exploring the history especially something like this that is Off the beaten trail. I've only been there once myself...

Fantastic job explaining the entire site with respect. We used to live in the area and visited many times. The updates are super to preserve history. Our friend was the curator there years ago. On a special occasion called “ Spanish Nightwatch” I had the privilege of lighting fireworks from the barracks roof. A night our children still remember as adults. Thanks for bringing this to us.

My mother and I visited that site September of 1992. It was fascinating. We were there when they were holding a Texas cattlemen barbecue in the huge square, so smelled that barbecue smell as we toured it. Thank you so much for the memories.

The labia was actually just rubble when they found it in the 20’s or 30’s they rebuilt it to what it looked like base off of the layout of it. But still it pretty old from being built in that time. They built everything by hand no machine which They also did to the mission that converted Indians to Christian’s.

Thanks for your posts They have inspired so many of our trips to America from Australia. I especially love watching you and your dad’s travels. I wish you’d do the Camino de Santiago in Spain one day! I think you’d show the effort and camaraderie whilst explaining the history of the place as well! Also I think you’d go the whole way instead of coping out at 200 km like so many you tubers.

We love the videos with you and Pops. This one was particularly fascinating, and thank you, Prof. Pops, for the additional historical information. I think I'd have found staying there a little spooky and more than a bit sad, given the history. What an interesting experience, though.

You like to hike you should check out Watkins Glen and a gorgeous falls in Elmira. Pops is right too about PA, especially Lancaster it's beautiful there, a fall trip is the best. Keep making those fabulous videos and all the best to you and your family.

Very Few people know about another battle/siege just 25 miles south of Goliad - at Refugio, TX. A Mexican General Urrea attacked the small garrison. He camped under a large Oak Motte just across the Mission River from the town of Refugio which is still there and has a TEXAS Historical Marker, designating them the Urrea Oaks. The siege went on for days causing much stress to locals, so many of them left Refugio and traveled to Goliad where most were killed . Remember Refugio was also a Battle cry at later battles.

As a sidenote: In reality, there's no such thing as "cowboys", these are just a shameless copy of the original Mexican Vaqueros but the Americans stole this piece of culture because they have none of their own (their biggest original holiday is called "Thanksgiving" and consists of eating turkey and sometimes supposedly commemorate the Indians that helped the American colonizers survive before the Americans committed genocide against them). Thus, the only true 'cowboys' are by definition MEXICAN and are called VAQUEROS and 'cowboys' belong to MEXICO.
