Bromhead, if you can come up with any information concerning any slave that may've been in the Alamo, this would be welcome news, indeed. A big problem with Joe is that, as far as we know, he has no descendants, or at least none who left documented accounts. Any 'word of mouth' account from a claimned descendant is certainly worth investigating. Keeping a story alive in a family by means of the 'oral tradition' by no means lessens it impact, or credibility.

Do pay a visit to the ONE DOMINGO MORNING webpage at www.freewebs.com and leave a message in the guestbook. The page has a 'hits' counter at the bottom; make it look impressive.

Bill Chemerka's review of ONE DOMINGO MORNING ran in the December, 2004 issue of THE ALAMO JOURNAL, the official publication of the Alamo Society. It appears here, through the courtesy of Mr. Chemerka:
One Domingo Morning: The Story of Alamo Joe By Ned Anthony Huthmacher VantagePress, NY 2004 (419 Park Avenue South, NYC, NY 10016)
Alamo survivor, Joe, Travis' slave finally gets a book-length acknowledgement thanks to Ned Huthmacher. The author states in his preface: "While historians may never be able to discover, or agree upon exactly, what transpired within the walls of the Alamo in the chilling pre-dawn hours of March 6, 1836, that Joe emerged from it a true Texas hero cannot be denied and should not be forgotten."
Huthmacher's lively text is full of pathos and humor. Davy Crockett's story telling session with the children of the Alamo, for instance, is joyously realistic. And characters like Maizy, Silvie and Ubaldo add a wonderful earthy touch to the story of the Texian Revolution.
The book's cover art was created by Joseph Musso.

Thanks for the plug, Mr. Chemerka! www.freewebs.com/nedscornerWell, Terry Todish's March 5th meeting in the Green Room of the Crockett Hotel in San Antonio was a grand success, with speakers Rich Curilla, Jack Edmondson and Charles Lara enlightening us all. George Nelson was there, as was Tom Lindley, MIke Waters and filmmaker, Gary Forman. Terry Todish, Jack Edmondson and I had a book signing table, off to the side and I signed seventeen books during the three hour gathering. A good time was had by all. (You shoulda bin there!)
