Congratulations on your feature in the Fine Art America Group "Images That Excite You!"

Few people realize that if Santa Anna's army vanguard would have continued across the Medina River into Bejar on the afternoon of the 21st instead of camping on it's west bank for a day they would have arrived to find the Texicans still in the Mecardo. They had not moved into the Alamo yet. Which would have meant that there would have been more a street fight then the 13 days of the Alamo, thus no battle of the Alamo This was all due to the very little known fact that Santa Anna was very superstitious and before leaving on the trek north his fortune teller "adivino" had advise him not to cross a "rising" river or he would lose his next battle... A cold front had just came through South Central Tejas resulting in the rising of the Rio Medina.. If they would have continued into settlement of Bejar they would have surprised the Texicans who had not moved into the "Alamo" yet thus there would have been at the most a street fight thus no 13 Days Battle of the Alamo. It would also have meant that Houston would not have had the extras days to rally and prepare for the famed Battle at San Jacinto... Thus... there may be no Texas..... I taught at Southwest High School along that same river and I and a group of my History club found the site of the Vanguards camp a couple of miles up river where they had camped finding canon shot, ironworks and clay shards from their camping there...
