Pictured Artifact:
This antique gun belonged to my great-great-grandfather George
Lord. He fought in the Meir Expedition in Texas around the
1800's. The battle was against Santa Anna. George Lord was
captured by Santa's men and imprisoned. He was placed in a
Mexican jail with other Texans. Santa Anna didn't want to
kill all these prisoners. Therefore, he placed black and white
beans into a pot and had each man draw. My great-great-grandfather
drew a white bean, which allowed him to live and also gave
him his freedom.
Today his picture hangs in the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas.
