Mr. Cornwell, love all your books, could you please write a little faster! I have read two links dealing with the Alamo. My hobby is reenacting the Texas Revolution. If you ever choose to bring Sharpe to Texas, please don’t use the Alamo as a back drop. The Goliad Massaccre is a better untold story. 400 men who were suppose to relieve the Alamo but didn’t make it. There are many reasons Sharpe would be in Mexico. The Mexican army used the Brown Bess musket. The settlers in Texas were of Irish/Scottish heritage. The Mexican army actually had several European officers. I think Sharpe would of been with Santa Anna until he saw what was happening. Anyway if you are in Texas from March to April come by and catch a reenactment. Scott Wendt
