Hello everyone,
The problem is with David Crocketts death.
I need to find what what most likely happened?
I have the first account that he was one of the first to die at the Battle of the Alamo,that night he went down bravely.
For over 100 years peoiple thought this happened, but I understand this is now rejected in Texas History.
Second account, according to a Mexican Lieutenant's diary (or something like that). He and five or six other men survived and were captured and ordered exceuted at about 6AM at or near the Alamo (definatly in Texas can't quite remember exactly).
*This seemed to me to be the correction to the first account.
The third account, according to a Mexican Liuetenant's diary (or something like that), he was captured and taken to Mexico, and died in a prison there.
Outside of the Alamo. This came out on the discovery channel (but I haven't seen it).
WHAT!!!
I took Texas History class and was taught the 2nd account. After hearing the third account which has similarity, I thought my memory failed me, but I checked on-line and in my text book and I END UP WITH THE 2ND ACCOUNT!
Help Me!
