Sure he's not living in a hippie commune, along with Elvis, Hitler, Frank James, and Butch & Sundance?
That's an excellent point, and to further it, Santa Anna's army was quite devoutly Catholic, and the prohibition from the Pope against being a Mason, was well known to Catholics, even in small rural villages in Mexico and other parts of the planet. Santa Anna would've been risking an overall mutiny, if it was ever rumored that he had joined Masonry, let alone actual was a Mason.
As far as alerting Santa Anna he was a mason other than by a visual hand signal, "spoken" or "embrace" would require quite close contact, and my point was why would that quite close contact be thought reasonable?
I agree with waarp8nt, that Crockett fell at The Alamo

No I did not. The only thing I said was
" research, if your interested"
That's all I said. His claim against me is totally faults.
I edited it because there's no point in giving advice to such
There is more than a bit of evidence that he , like some others, did not die when where or how the mainstream history line says
Some folks are not capable of following a subject matter.
What does the Alamo have to do with MLs?
I don't believe he did die at el Alamo.
Our heros, history , an our zeros are usually what we want them to be.
As good a film as John waynes story of the Alamo is, it is fictional.
Total fantasy.
made to be a GOOD STORY.
Made to cause emotions, and intensional or not, faults memorys.
In this later film all our history, heros an zeros are portrayed really good, totally fiction. The way everyone likes it it be.
it's what everyone wants.
The death scene of David Crockett is what we want it to be, he was fearless an fighting right up to the last, even scaring his bayonet attackers into jumping back.
the story is good, the heros are great, an the bad guys are really rotten .
The way gen Santa anny is made to look,
Like a depraved wacko , is really good.
It's what we all want it to have been

I agree, I dont mine when they go off a lil bit but this one derailed totally. More so, I just don't appreciate when some members like the sethwy guy get nasty then try to hide it. Glad there is an iggy bin.
This is about a famous person who is believed, an not believed, by some to have been kilt at a certain place an time,
Other cases of this, such as the case of billy the kid, have been mentioned as an example of the mainstream history an the unpopular history people study.
~" Did Davey Crockett really die at such an such a time an place ? "~ "Mabey not , take the story of billy the kid for example, it wouldn't be the only time it's ever happened"
Okay what about all the talk about western gun slingers?They won't shootin with sling shots at el Alamo
Duh, wander back to Dodge City.

Yup Agreed. Delete this and remove a certain nasty member
Obviously there’s a lot of speculation and ideas concerning Crockett’s demise at the Alamo.
If only a handful survived to the end, of course it would be romantic for Crockett to be one of the last.
It’s more likely to me that Mexican officers and soldiers had no idea who was who. No pictures. No paintings.
Most likely he was either killed during the fight or was run through with bayonets when wounded on the ground.
No quarter means no quarter. I seriously doubt the soldiers would disobey that direct order.
It’s more likely that those playing dead or trying to hide would have been herded up and shot or immediately killed when found.
The Mexican army has been famous for firing squads. French soldiers caught were paraded around for a while and then shot during the revolution.
Unless Crockett somehow deserted during the night, he died at the Alamo.
Sam Houston wanted Travis to abandon the Alamo. Travis refused. Thus history is born.
I found that out when I actually went to the Alamo.

Of course Davy died at the Alamo. We all saw it in the movie. Before the movie, I must admit that I had no idea he looked so much like Billy Bob.
The Billy the kid addition to the thread just wrecked it IMO. HAHA
Who cares about Billy the kid? No even related.
