Reminiscences on the Alamo and San Jacinto Relics
The writer recalls the Alamo burial rumors and the fate of Travis and his men, noting disputed graves near the Alamo and a hero Crockett’s famous coon skin cap. He recounts visits by Mrs Dickinson, doctored wounds after the siege, and stories of Crockett’s gun repaired by John Berry. The piece closes with a tangential anecdote about hats and a college theme.
