The practice of congregants yelling "Amen!", etc, during a sermon is found in a number of religious (primarily Baptist) cultures in the US. I was raised in urban/suburban Southern Baptist churches around Louisville KY and never (to my recollection) experienced this, but after I left home my parents moved to a Southern Baptist church near Taylorsville KY and I observed the practice there on a ...

IMO, the Alamo garrison should have withdrawn joined with Houston. This would mean abandoning the townsfolk, the sick and wounded of the garrison (including its commander) to be executed, and all the artillery and ammunition. Plus it would mean nothing would stand between Santa Anna's forces and the towns and farms in the interior.

It has been home and headquarters to many Hollywood productions working "on location" at nearby Brackettville and James T. "Happy" Shahan's ranch, beginning in 1959 with John Wayne's The Alamo. I stayed there briefly in June, 1987 while working in Alamo - The Price of Freedom, which was also filmed on Wayne's old set.
