[philmont] Cheep shots at the Texans (Just don't know what's good for me)

 
 
Mark, I hate to admit it, but our family land was part of a Mexican land
grant. I think the date is 1829 on the documents. However, we also had family
members fighting at the Alamo and San Jacinto. After that, Texas was an
independent republic, and we have land grant papers from that time also.

Been to San Antonio, read the Plaque at the Alamo. (it really is a just
little bitty place surrounded by fancy hotels and expensive stores) Ya
know the one I'm talkin bout, the one that said all them there original
Texans agreed to swear their Allegiance to Mexico and become Catholic in
order to get their land grants. If that ain't selling out I'm not sure
what is. (For the record they also agreed not to hold slaves but I'm
certain we all agree this is a good thing)
