The Alamo - Myths and Misconceptions

 

The Alamo

Texas history facts and legendary lore are as vast as the state itself and are just as well known. The problem with this is that through the years the myths and misconceptions have grown as well. I came across The Alamo website this morning where an article addresses some of these misconceptions about Texas Independence and the story surrounding the Alamo, and thought I'd share the link with you.

I found this very interesting reading and hope you'll check it out.

Texas Facts and Trivia Thursday

Howdy! I'm running late today on Facts and Trivia Thursday. We are getting ready to go to Galveston with our daughter and son-in-law for the weekend. Washing, packing and gathering are mostly done so now I can tend to more fun things. Writing!

Here are a few trivias that make the Lone Star state what it is and what we brag about.


1) The King Ranch in the state is larger than the state of Rhode Island.

2) Texas produces more wool than any other U.S. states.

3) Edwards Terrain, in the western part of the state, is the main sheep breeding zone in the U.S.

4) The state features the biggest flock of white tail deer in the country.

5) The lone natural lake in Texas is the Caddo Lake.

6) San Antonio, Texas houses the Hertzberg Circus Museum, which displays one of the biggest varieties of circusana in the world.


As always,thanks for visiting. You make my day when I see that you stopped by.

Hugs,
