Amazing work.... I have sat many an afternoon in the garden within the compound and with closing my eyes could almost hear the mornful crys of those who gave their lives for their beliefs that day. Also those of the members of Santa Anna's army who boldly fought for him. So sad.... so many losses contributed to way to much "machismo" on both sides.... I studied the "excursions" of Santa Anna while going to the University of Texas as San Antonio... Most people do not know that he was a very superstitious man and before leaving lower Mexico he had gone to his Adivino (fortune teller) and she had told him to never allow his army to "cross a rising water". The day before his vanguard arrvied at the Meina River, just south of Bejar, there had been a "cold front" with rain and the river was on the rise... Four of his calvary were lost in trying to cross so they stopped for the night and the next day to "aire their bedding" and wait for more of his army to catch up with them. It is said/suggested that if they would not have stopped, they would have entered Bejar and taken the majoriity of Texians still in the Mercardo and Village of Bejar... Thus there never would have been a need for the "Battle of The Alamo". Moral to this story... Take a Woman's advice with a grain of salt and....a spoon of sugar"... smile... Love your work... John
