I am a big fan of Texas history. I was brought up on it since my great grandfather started his career as one of the early Texas Rangers, signed on to fight Santa Ana and the Commanches.

Today, while watching the History Channel, I was surprised to hear a different account of the Alamo from a document left by one of Santa Ana's officers. They are still struggling with the authenticity of the document and feel that the University of Texas is not being objective when they say it is fraudulent.

This document says that seven men were captured and that one of them was Davy Crockett. They were brought before Santa Ana and all executed like common criminals. It give lie to the legend.

Texans love their heroes. I don't cotton to the new version either. Davy Crockett is still a hero to me as well as every last soul that was in the Alamo. History channel, do not rain on our parade.
