Greetings and Happy New Year to you.

Marks and I sailed out of Bayport (Port of Houston) recently and because of a fog delay, we made an unexpected trip to the San Jacinto Battleground. Marks knew the De Zavala Family Cemetery had been moved onto the Battleground site and that fallen Texas heroes of that Battle are also interred there. It’s an important piece of Texas history & one we hope you’ll enjoy.

One of two Sidebars also resulted from that unanticipated sojourn: Who were the famous Twin Sisters?

The other Sidebar, The Resting Place of Lost Souls tells of an interesting burial practice.

Enjoy.
