The little church and portion of the barracks are all that remain of the original sprawling mission compound.(which the Mexican army knocked down on their retreat from San Antonio in May, 1836.) Most all of present-day Alamo Plaza was surrounded by stone and adobe walls. The Carnival zone across the street from the DRT-controlled Alamo grounds was the west wall of the mission. To the north, somewhere inside the present-day courthouse lobby, Colonel Travis was killed.<br />The outline of a flowerbed on the south side of the plaza marks the Alamo's Low Barrack where the main gate was. In one of the siderooms of this barrack, Jim Bowie was killed. Thanks to few to no markers, the first-time tourist is unaware of all of this.<br /><br />There is a movement to raze all the buildings around Alamo Plaza and rebuild the Alamo like it looked in 1836. For, as it stands now, people will continue to say, "Oh my goodness, it's so small! How'd they fit 200 men inside that small building?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306024999105542124.post-29910979484117163632009-02-26T01:20:00.000-06:002009-02-26T01:20:00.000-06:00Truly a good example of how something can become l...Truly a good example of how something can become larger than reality. I think you could argue that we would've won independence regardless of the Alamo. Or maybe it was critical to that fight. Its immaterial now, the myth is larger, more satisfying, and more useful than whatever the truth really is. Its too big to be judged.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306024999105542124.post-42116173913485076002009-02-25T15:26:00.000-06:002009-02-25T15:26:00.000-06:00I remember visiting the Alamo in my Lackland AFB d...I remember visiting the Alamo in my Lackland AFB days.

Initially while in training at Lackland/Medina AFB and years later while working for a computer company headquartered in San Antonio.<BR/><BR/>Each visit was memorable.
