Well said, very informative, thank you. (I'll be visiting the fort tomorrow, 7-4-24). My first visit to Ft. McKavett was in the summer of 1977; been there may times since. Happy Independence Day!

Mass production was brought into being by Sam Colt, not Henry Ford. He didn't invent mass production. The art of machining became precise enough that parts could be made interchangeable. Before, each gun was a one-off production, produced one at a time usually by a single craftsman.

My ancestors immigrated to Texas from Alsace in 1843. Landing in Galveston and trekking to San Antonio to camp and await settlement lands supposedly provided by Henri Castro, later Castroville. While camped in San Antonio on the Alamo grounds for nearly a year, they endured a Cholera epidemic which killed my Great-great-great-great grandmother Schertz and two of her daughters. They were buried in a mass grave in the old city cemetery east of town. My Great-great-great grandfather Mergele and his family and in-laws joined the Solms-Braunfels Colony and were founders of New Braunfels. Growing up in Texas, I was educated only in the history of Texas in regards to the Gringo revolution of 1836. When I finally learned of the Tejano Revolution of 1813 I became profoundly disappointed in the Anglo/Pro-slavery version of the history of my state and the origins of the Republic of Texas.

Great talk! We live in a world of instant gratification and communication. I often have heard people wondering why it took so long for the help that did arrive. Thanks for all you do to help us remember the Alamo and understand life at that time.

How can historians say the crossing of the line is not true then teach it as fact to children

I love this history It is a shame this is not in the textbook of schools

It would have been nice if Dr. Crimm would have mentioned Petra’s father as being a Spanish Governor or Petra’s great grandfather Lazaro Vela as being a original grantee of land by Spain in 1767 in what is today Starr County.

Very insightful!

You failed to mention the Father of Modern American Socialism.. Houston native Edward House and his influence on Wilson's election. You also faile to mention how House worked to push the USA into the War. What about the 90th Infantry Division?

Who was Sarita Kennedy’s Parents Thanks

I love the whole explanation. These are great and very much respected men. Thank you so much.

I would run too. The Mexican army was known for cruelty. Upon death they striped you naked. Took you clothes and valuables and at many time they slit up the gut or field dress if you will.

Thank you, sir.

Bertie Horrell is my grandpa’s grandmother who was the Daughter of Tom.🎉

but didnt Dickerson's wife say Travis drew the line in the dirt March 5th ?

We Germans know exactly how it feels to take the myths for history. The whole so called High middle Age is a bunch of lies, bullshit and bad made propaganda. Not one document from this time isn't falsified.

I'm Acjachemen (Southern California). And spent many years learning about knife fighting horsemanship. Great video.

That deep, teaching texas history to a lot of people it's genealogy...

Thank you

So much that's not taught in schools

My dad's name is Jose Galvez

Glad these woke, history revisionists are giving us another "real and accurate" representation of what happened at the Alamo. Just another opportunity to denigrate American history by three smug, self important nobodies.

My great great uncle was corporal David Brady Shelton he was the first to die out of Athens texas in France 1918 359 infantry.

It's to see Texas celebrate a MEXICAN victory for all time!

Thanks, i just visited the Alamo and on the way back home to El Paso i saw the historic site sign but didn't have a chance to visit so i TH-camd it! Not a lot of information on this historic site.

Texas Billy Thompson is my great grandfather. He was Ben Thompsons brother. Quite a History. Ben was City Marshall of Austin in the early 1880s.

I really wish you were not pointing that revolver at yourself Always treat the gun as loaded. Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Always keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Always keep the gun unloaded until you are ready to use it. Never point the gun at anything you don't intend to destroy.

Where's my man Bill O'Neal at?

We are mixed with the indians too. Tejanos are from texas originaly. And mixed with spain.

Hey Dr Rick, how would you like to examine and verify what I believe (confidently) to be a lost piece of furniture from Rubi? I can even bring it to you to Austin. Thanks!

Then use the word alledge not the truth

This idiot says there is nothing wrong with perpetuating the myths. These are the myths that have contributed to the lies about Texas. These lies have subjected people to oppression, to racism and other countless atrocities due to the myths that these people were coming to Texas in the name of liberty. Ridiculous!!!! It's amazing that anyone would actually believe some of this crap just because someone looks the part. The truth is slowly being revealed and it will set us all free!!!!!!!!!!

The animal is a Texan landmark bylaw were posed to take our land marks if you're going to do anything with it it should be fixed right back in the day and being a texting is that are part of our heritage and then in the future it should be restored and fix

Texas Joes and Janes have served like lions and bore the inglorious jobs day to day without praise for too long. In Iraq they walked like Lions and the ACF took a wide berth around us back in the day. I’d go to war with a Platoon of T Patchers above all else any day. Texas should be proud of all the young soldiers serving

What this historian forgets to point out, was that much of those who fought against Spain, were influenced by Anglo-Masonry, and Protestantism taking root in Texas. The bulk of Tejanos were not against Spain, and on the contrary, never voted to become a part of Mexico either. The Republic of Texas, was ethnically centered around the new Anglo-Protestant settlers and their new slavery system , and Mestizos and the full blooded indians were regarded as obstacles to land grabs. So no, I as a Tejano still prefer the Holy Mother Country of Spain.

so some kids are told yes all the men cross the line to give their lives for the alamo, and later in the conversation, they are told well 60-80 man jump the wall to run! kind of messing with the kid's minds!

Good story! I enjoyed it. please keep it up.

The small town of Hempstead,TX. was known as "Six-shooter junction" after The War Between the States. This information comes from the book of Texas Trivia. Hempstead lies outside of Houston on the Austin Highway-US 290

Seeing the panel I thought the video might be about obesity 🤪

let me be the first coment

I know that Santa Anna lived in the US on Staten Island from 1865 -1875. Are there any interviews with him available in which he discusses the Alamo?

I don't believe historians, they always want to proof people wrong! It's always their version that's correct!!! The libral historians were not at the battle of the Alamo!
