Norman, I have some wood from that old live oak inside the Alamo walls. I don't have much but when I use it I do think of the sacrifice them boys did.

At the time of the battle, it was a much larger compound, 3.5 acres I believe. I'd settle for some just outside the old mission. Wink

What probably 99% of the population (outside of TX) do not realize is that Texas was not a territory that was "taken" "purchased" or "annexed" by the United States... TEXAS was a FREE REPUBLIC that petitioned the United States for entry into the union and statehood..

God Bless Texas!
