Northwest Journal was published from 1994-1999. We have now shifted to a
web-only format, after not publishing at all for three years. The
articles marked "new" are previously-unpublished, or what some
publications call "net exclusives".
Your humble & obedient servant,

Several years ago I was fortunate enough to be asked to be part of the color
guard at the Alamo on March 2nd celebrating the 150th celebration and the
decalaration of independance from mexico. We had enough West Texas Border
Scouts(West Texas branch of the Texas Army) to march in with all of the
battle flags that flew over Texas. It was a special moment, being invited by
the Daughters of The Republic of Texas. I frequent the Alamo yearly, feel
tho as I step back in time everytime I enter the doors of the Mission. Sacred
grounds for everyone indeed.

Is today the day the Alamo fell? Tell me now, there's still time to remember.
Anyone know what the terms of engagement were for the rifles there? What was
the longest efffective shot?
Thanks from out here in California.

Hawk,
There was also a Jacob Dickert rifle used by one of the defenders. The
Mexican army was armed mostly with Brown Bess muskets. There is also
evidence that some of the Mexicans were using miquelette locked escopedas.
(not at all sure of that spelling) Talk about getting some mileage out of
firearms. Those escopedas were antiques.

pentelton--
have seen the dickard gun and the derranger gun---there is some of the
rifles on display at the ALAMO the last time i was there---they may have
changed it---smoothies were truly popular as they were fast to
load---there was a account of one of the defenders making a long shot at
one of the bad guys---was on one of the logs that survives or was written
later---lots of history there---true american heroes---each and ever
one---they made texas free---
