Today in history.....December 29th, 1890. A bunch of dancing Indians were cut down at Wounded Knee. Those ghost dance shirts they were wearing were supposed to protect them from the blue-coats bullets.....they didn't....they died...along with 25 or so soldiers.....the end to the Indian Wars.....or so I've read...I wasn't there..=)

February 2, 1836, from Jim Bowie to Governor Henry Smith:
"The Salvation of Texas depends in great measure in keeping Bejar out of the hands of the enemy. It serves as the frontier picquet guard . . . . Col. Neill & Myself have come to the solemn resolution that we will rather die in these ditches than give it up to the enemy."

Bowie died...Davy Crocket died...Neill left for supplies and family business...the fort fell before he made it back...later he commanded 2 six pound cannons that were a gift from Cincy, Ohio in the battle of san jacinto.
Cool shit....The Alamo...
