Tag Archives: Heroes of The Alamo memorial

This is their memorial on the south lawn of the Capitol downtown. It lists the names believed to be accurate when the thing was built in 1891. Steve Greenhow, an Austin radio personality and friend who died of cancer not so long ago, who yet lives (!), wrote a time-travel saga published as a serial on Austin’s old Electric Pages bulletin board. In the story, the memorial was used as a sort of Texas Tardis. Photo via the State Preservation Board.
