A WONDERFUL PLACE TO VISIT
September 21, 2007 at 10:00 am my Humanities class visit The Alamo in San Antonio, Texas. A tour guide showed us around the place and talk about the history of it. His name is Dr. Winder. It’s an awesome place to tour round. He was talking about how the Alamo got started. There were many interesting things he said about the historical church. It’s the heart of Texas and part of the missions. It was known as Mission San Antonio de Valero in 1836. It’s a historical place that was built in 1724. Many people remember the Alamo by the famous actors as David Crockett, James Bowie, William Travis and also Santa Ana. They people also remember the Alamo as the John Wayne movie. Well this place that I visit is very moving to my culture. Before this was San Antonio it was known as Coahuila. In 1836, the war with the Mexican troops begins. The Alamo was having many troops around country to volunteer. Santa Ana wanted the Tejanos to be a dictator government, but they didn’t want to. The Tejanos wanted to be a federal government. What I learn in the tour that Dr. Winders took us is the John Wayne movie is noting compare to the facts of the Alamo. It is amazing to walk on the grounds of a historical event that took place in my city.
