  • Well done!

    Very good podcast. The host, Emily Baucum, is excellent, and the Alamo staff members who join are impressive. Giving Justice Ken Wise’s Wise About Texas podcast (which is outstanding, by the way) some competition!

  • The shrine

    I am 80 and retired in LA. I was born in Houston a 4th generation Texan. I’ve visited the Alamo since I was 10 years old. The Church was not so urbanized then and we could see the River which was surrounded by sandy shores. The Alamo is a shrine to me. Each time I enter the church I am as cold as the inside air.

    God bless Texas.

I always believed it but never had the evidence as both my grandfather, and both great grandparents died when I was young. So I just grew up with the assumption that it was correct. A couple of years ago I got into the family genealogy myself, and I ended up discovering the connection ... more
