Deaf Smith and the Alamo Hero in Texas History
In Deaf Smith County Texas a vivid portrait of the Alamo era emerges. Deaf Smith the scout and gunner dominates a marsh battlefield scene as Santa Anna's troops retreat toward the Galveston region. The tale, woven with legend, traces the San Jacinto clash and the memory of Remember the Alamo. Images link the famous rifle to art at the Texas Capitol and to Elizabeth Ney’s sculpture of General Austin. A nod to Bonner of The Harpoon connects old firearms to modern curiosity.
