Hollywood to unveil new historical record of Texas' revered conflict.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Art Chapman
SAN ANTONIO _ Col. William Barret Travis has given his impassioned speech to the men of the Alamo. They know their fate.
The drums of the Mexican army pound out the Deguello, a redundant strain that warns no prisoners will be taken in this fight.
"Just figgered it out," David Crockett says aloud.
"Figured out what," asks one of his men.
"What it's missing," Crockett says of the dreary Mexican serenade.
And with that, the Lion of the West, the legendary Tennessee frontiersman who was known to ride a lightning bolt and jump the Mississippi in a single bound, climbs onto an Alamo rooftop and puts his fiddle to his chin.
