 The June issue of The Alamo Journal has been mailed to all Alamo Society members and institutional subscribers worldwide.

Issue #153 contains a number of important articles:

Mark Lemon provides Part I of “An Unexpected Find: The Strength Returns of the Zapadore, Toluca, and Aldama Battalions Before the March 6th Battle.” Included in the article are numerical breakdowns of each unit with enumerated accounts of every one in the ranks from respective commanders to musicians!

Mark also edited and updated his Alamo Society 2009 Symposium presentation: “Re-Interpreting Labastida and Romero’s Attack.” The article confirms the presence and location of Mexican troops based upon recent archeological finds near the Alamo. A two-page centerfold diagram accompanies the article.

Rick Range provides a Samuel Maverick letter in the “Documents of the Texian Revolution” section that indentifies the general area where a number of misssing Alamo artillery pieces were thrown into the San Antonio River by Gen. Cos. Range adds commentary to the important document.

There’s a report on the Alamo Society 2009 Symposium; a new Phil Collins interview (+ Phil’s March 7 address to the Alamo Direct Descendants Association); a nostalgic essay, “Alamo Ghosts,” written by Bruce Dettman; a report on the March 6 Alamo Plaza Protest; book previews; three pages of “Alamo News;” and a forthcoming update of The Alamo Reader from Todd Hansen. And there’s more in issue #153.
