The Original Well - and Transplanted Oak Tree in Alamo grounds.
In trouble with the LAW again !!!
The performance stage along the RiverWalk - about 1/4 mile from my Hotel.
View of RiverWalk from my room. Tough Duty.
View of RiverWalk from outside our hotel.
Layout of the "FORT" in bronze. Chapel is at upper right.
The Alamo was bought in 1884
for $25,000 and used as a "store". The Hugos of Hugo
Schmeltzer are
ancestors of friends of mine - the Powers family. The store was sold in 1905 for $85,000 to
The Daughters of the Texas
Revolution - who - under the guidance of Clara Driscoll -
restored the "church" and the grounds immediately
surrounding - about 1 acre.
Layout again of the original Fort.
Baptismal Font from early 1800's when Alamo was a Monastery.
Davy Crockett's belongings and other artifacts.
Placques outside the front of the Alamo Chapel.
Again - the original well and the transplanted Oak Tree.
