There was 190 or so people there so no they are not all in the textbook random thoughts Send a noteboard - 31/03/2010 05:31:41 PM
Mostly they talked about the three bigies there Travis, Bowie and Crockett. I do believe they may have covered Juan Seguin but he didn't die there so he wouldn't be one of nine they want listed. Mostly they talked about why the battle happened, how they got traped there and how the brutal take no prisoner approach of Santa Anna was used to build support for the revolt.

I could be wrong, but I think his point was simply... - 14/03/2010 03:53:23 PM 550 Views
I think it was that it just seems too out of place - 14/03/2010 04:14:55 PM 591 Views
I dunno, you didn't elaborate much on your oxymoron statement. - 14/03/2010 04:29:04 PM 591 Views
It didn't really seem something that needed elaborating - 14/03/2010 05:20:33 PM 639 Views

When does revisionist history descend to the level of mere hypocrisy? I weep for my country. - 15/03/2010 04:16:25 AM 736 Views
calling Zavala a city is a bit of a stretch don't you think? - 15/03/2010 05:39:03 PM 535 Views
Seguin's a city, or at least town; Zavala is a county. - 15/03/2010 09:00:54 PM 493 Views
Pfft, Seguin is a dump. - 15/03/2010 09:11:09 PM 509 Views
Not the point! - 15/03/2010 09:30:19 PM 469 Views
Zavalla is a town as well and city is a bit of stretch for Seguin - 15/03/2010 10:23:41 PM 450 Views
Fair enough, just trying to make clear I was speaking about municipality and county, respectively. - 29/03/2010 03:49:30 PM 471 Views

Based on this article it is worryingly political - 15/03/2010 11:46:53 AM 462 Views
Do you have any examples of where they are not teaching the truth? - 15/03/2010 05:42:27 PM 484 Views
I think it is what they are leaving out that is worrisome. - 15/03/2010 06:58:38 PM 497 Views
I don't see anything sayting they are leaving that out - 15/03/2010 08:26:50 PM 498 Views
