Quote from Levitt E. Valance

Thanks Ringo, but I'd better confess something. My link to the Alamo is a little dubious. It ain't that I stretched the truth a little. I just told a bare-faced lie, that's all. Not that I intended to mislead anyone here. I wrote that elsewhere and that's what Gorch was talking about when he mentioned my Jim Bowie link. He'd seen it at my home on The Porch.

Heh heh, definately no problem. I always misunderstand stuff, happens to me all the time and especially now-ive got a bad case of the Flu or somehting like it. Ohhhoooooooooooo.

Forgot to mention that if your interested in reading my multi-page article? its located on the site link I posted above and is in the pre 1900s section under the American Colonial War section.

Hi Levitt and welcome to THE BEST SITE ON THE NET that deals with Duke. Glad to see someone with some kind of relation to one of my personal Heroes--Jim Bowie. Speaking of, I just wrote an article that is posted on: http://www.histomil.com that deals with the Thiteen Days of Glory (aka) the Battle for the Alamo, and I posted some info that I forget where I got it from exactly? and I couldnt give that person or place proper credit for it but, there are a few small parts in it relating to Bowie. One was a dispelled belief that he was Bayoneted in bed then taken outside still alive-not mentioning the fact--as according to a former Slave who saw how he died--that he shot Mexican Soldiers with his Pistols, his Rifle as well as gutted at least one more with his famed Knife.

Some other info dispelled was the "de la Pena Papers" as well as the witnessed facts on how Crockett died as well as a man I am related to: Robert Evans (my favorite Cousin was a direct descendant of his as well as named after the Ordnance Expert.

Sorry for along note but, just wanted to say: Howdy and its nice seeing another person here how has a connection with the Alamo.
