Not a ghost story but I thought at the time this was quite creepy. I took the color photograph just outside of Harpers Ferry some years back, much later I was looking through one of the current Civil War magazines and noticed the black/white photograph which I have inserted at the bottom of my picture, if you remove the trees it looks as though it was taken in more or less the same position!

I think most of these sighting of such things are hoaxes I mean has anyone ever seen a decent picture of these things, take our Loch Ness monster just a gimmick to attract more tourists In my opinion.

Why don't they print the image, for gosh sakes? I mean, what's the point of writing an article about a certain photograph and then not showing the photograph? Probably waiting to see who is prepared to pay the most for printing it!

I heard on our news program this morning someone has apparently taken a photograph of BigFoot www.foxnews.com/RIDGWAY, Pa. — It's furry and walks on all fours. Beyond that, about the only thing certain about the critter photographed by a hunter's camera is that some people have gotten the notion it could be a Sasquatch, or bigfoot. Others say it's just a bear with a bad skin infection. Rick Jacobs says he got the pictures from a camera with an automatic trigger that he fastened to a tree in the Allegheny National Forest, about 115 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, hoping to photograph deer. "We couldn't figure out what they were," Jacobs said of the images captured on Sept. 16. "I've been hunting for years and I've never seen anything like this." He contacted the Bigfoot Research Organization, which pursues reports of a legendary two-legged creature that some people believe lives in parts of the U.S. and Canada. "It appears to be a primate-like animal. In my opinion, it appears to be a juvenile Sasquatch," said Paul Majeta of the bigfoot group.

Thanks for the replies I had thought more or less the same. It makes you think that if no one had thought about constructing a safe hiding place they must have been under the impression that they wouldn't be overrun and that help would get to them long before this situation ever happened.

I have often wondered what use they would have been in the actual battle. I even thought they might have been dug and covered as a hiding place in the event of the fort being overrun. Does anyone think it would have been possible to construct a safe hiding place and how long would they have had to hide before it was safe to come out?

Well my DVDs arrived this morning and I am well pleased with them the sound is excellent especially if you have a complete surround sound system. I only hope they bring out the complete Directors cut soon. The few deleted scenes included on the DVD were OK but nothing spectacular. Front cover of DVD Inside:

Well I know J.W. Alamo wasn't historically accurate but I have lived with it for many years and to me its still the best, the music is perfect and the battle scenes although a bit dated are still extremely good.
I honestly don't know whether I will ever get used to the ending (Crockett down on his knees ) in this new version I would much preferred him going down fighting like the way I have always believed him to have.

Judging from the visit I paid to the State Capitol in Austin today with my brother and his wife, even the tour guides there have jumped upon the Nickelodeon bandwagon. As we stood with a crowd of toursists before the massive Henry McArdle canvas of the battle of the Alamo, our tour guide was explaining the history behind the painting. It seems that Santa Anna's outlawing of slavery caused the Texians to revolt. This, in turn caused Santa Anna to march into Texas to reinforce his anti-slavery mandate. I couldn't believe my ears. Here was a representative of the State of Texas spewing this drivel. Incensed as I was, I somehow kept my tongue. Well it looks like the State of Texas must have sanctioned the representative to allow him to state these very misleading facts.

I think those fences directly in front of the facade detract from getting a good photograph.

I think I preferred it the rusty orange color it looked more time worn and old.

I think we are extremely lucky that the whole place didn't get demolished. I mean what would it have been like with no Alamo?
