[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1292254, member: 18945"] Of all the places in historical Texas, Goliad and Fannin are favorites. The Goliad battleground is pretty much untouched from the days of the Revolution. There is a fence of course, and you can see a house not too far away, but it's not at all difficult to look across that Fannin prairie, close your eyes and smell the gunsmoke. Jed, I've read so many in my lifetime, I wouldn't know where to start for boys 8-10 yrs old. It will take you more than a weekend, but I 2nd Fenceman's suggestion--go see them. If you can walk out on that Fannin battleground or the courtyard at La Bahia (Goliad) where Fannin and his men were executed and not get shivers up and down your spine, you aren't alive. It does have a beautiful chapel, that is still in weekly use, but don't let that serenity fool you. Presidio La Bahia is the most fought over piece of real estate in Texas, and in Texas history. There are lots of stories within a story at La Bahia. [img]http://www.davidsanger.com/images/texas/1-720-52.presidio.m.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.burger.com/alapix38.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
