A lot of Texans invested in the making of the Alamo movie. Gov Bill Daniel provided horses and cattle. The McCollough brothers (oilfield services) invested dollars and never saw a return.
I wish someone would make a good movie on Jim Bowie.
For those interested, the book THREE ROADS TO THE ALAMO by William C Davis is great. Basically biographies of Bowie, Travis, and Crockett. Not much on the Alamo battle. Please disregard the story of my ggggrandfather James D Reeves....he sold Bowie some land that he didn't own. Somehow escaped the Bowie knife. LOL
