History of The Alamo: (Jerry Skinner Documentary)

[paulnesbitt]

Hi Jerry, this is Paul Nesbitt.again. I've been to the Alamo twice in my life, the first time was in 1966 as a 17 yr old army private I still have a picture of me in front of the mission. I was also there in 2014 being older then I took more time to walk the grounds and read everything I could about what happened there. Your dialogue of the Alamo is spot on. Thank You for all you have done to explain it all, I have stayed up nights listening to your stories of different people. I'm kinda a history buff. And really enjoy your work. I would recommend it to anyone. Thank You. Sincerely Paul Nesbitt

Jerry, you always do a great job on our history. Enjoyed the one about Bonnie and Clyde. Just got back from the Alamo today, took my sons and i had been there as a child as well but at 53 i really thought deeply the horror they went through. God bless them and Texas !!! Thanks Jerry and bless you and yours !!!

I've been to the Alamo (Texas kid) and done the river walk. I was more impressed with the Alamo and the feeling I got while there. Thank you, Jerry for a wonderful video. Remember the Alamo!

Jerry Skinner is one of, if not the best historians alive today. How digs up the facts and conveys them so succinctly is a marvel.

I love to hear the sound of my fellow Texans voices. Very nice on the ears. Thank you, Mr.Skinner.

My 6th grade teacher was a direct descendent of James Bowie. Because of her I became an ardent student of history, the Alamo in particular. I have read every book, seen every movie on the Alamo and have even interviewed members of the Crockett family. I thought I knew all there was to know on the subject. However, this fine piece of work gave me a couple of new insights, specifically the box containing the bones of Crocket, Bowie and Travis.
Congratuations on a job well done, and I loved the narrators voice.
I have been to the Alamo many times and will go again.

Jerry, my old company from Vietnam had our first reunion at San Antonio after not seeing one another for 43 years. Video mark 9:41 is the Crockett Hotel where we all met and stayed four three days. The Alamo is right across the street. I was honored to go inside the Alamo and sign the guest book with my name plus U.S. Army retired. Since that reunion San Antonio is one of the best cities to visit and I have been to most every big city west of New York. Great video, thank you

Mr. Jerry Skinner,
I think you hit the mark for which you have a given trait or talent. I love American History. I visited the American museum Smithsonian institution in Washington D.C. and have never been the same. I became hungry to learn American History. I very much enjoyed your visit to this Alamo. I can't travel to these sights but, would love too.

This is a very good job on the History of the Battle at The Alamo, a Spanish Mission, one of several in San Antonio, Texas.

I saw the Alamo mission on July 2nd 1969 in the evening, while touring around the US with the Greyhound buses, I could not imagine to find it in downtown, surrounded by buildings !
Thank you so much for sharing this interesting video, the very clear explanations ! Even for us French people it is very moving to learn about this story. The " Alamo " movie was very popular in France, back in 1960 and remains even nowadays one of the best western movie.
