Scheineman releases CD
March 19th, 2008
Paul Scheineman, a featured extra in the 2004 Alamo film (most notably seen during Travis’s speech), has released an epic inspired CD titled The Ballad of El Pablo. Complete with two tracks, Scheineman and his crew entertain with two haunting melodies. The Ballad of El Pablo and Angelina’s Song of The Alamo are stirring and imaginary, with an old twist on new country.
THE BREACH ~ Republished and Illustrated!
March 4th, 2008
Originally released in 2002, Brian Kaufman’s The Breach is the fictional account of General Manuel Fernandez Castrillón, Aid-de-Camp for Mexican Dictator, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. The Breach, written as Castrillón’s personal journal, follows the struggles of the Mexican Army as it travels from Saltillo, Mexico to the plains of Texas in mid-winter to squash the Texian rebellion. Castrillón is a soldier, bound by honor and duty, and is witness to nearly every controversial event in the Texas campaign.
While there has yet to be a release date, The Breach is to be republished with 10 pencil and ink illustrations by Alamo Sentry’s own, Wade Dillon.
Keep an eye out on Alamo Sentry for more updates on THE BREACH!
Adam Huntsman website
February 12th, 2008
Kevin McCann just informed me of his website about the timber-toed politician who defeated David Crockett in the election of 1835. It was this loss that prompted David to move to Texas.
New Content will be added in the following weeks, including an article on the 1835 Congressional election between Crockett and Huntsman.
Also, originally published in 1996, Kevin McCann’s book, The Peg-Legged Politician will be available in the Fall of 2008 as a revised and expanded second edition.
