Introduction | I was five years old when my parents brought me to The Alamo. I saw it for the first time, after dark, with not a living soul around and barely enough light to see the figures on the monument. I remember that the sky was deep blue, and the pure white flood lights aimed up at the Chapel painted the yellow stone walls with a heavenly luster. I don’t remember what my parents said about the Alamo that night, but the shimmering vision, and the feeling that I was looking at a sacred place, stayed with me. |
