Trivia
John Coffee Hays kills a man in a saloon quick draw fight. This would be an unlikely feat in real-life. It is accepted now that quick draw contests in the Old West were not common (only one is recorded in history) due to the innacurate fire produced from shooting from the hip. These Old West six-guns had rifled barrels which spun the round creating a more accurate trajectory - the flintlock pistols of the 1830s were not rifled, meaning they were ineffective beyond a few feet, as you would likely miss. What's more, in a quick draw, you cock the pistol with your thumb as you remove it from the holster, with a flintlock, you don't have a hammer. You have a large lock that holds the flint in jaws. To pull this lock back, you need to use your free hand, it is impossible to do with the thumb of your gun hand, meaning that you can't pull and fire the weapon in one motion, a necessity for quick draw.

The History Channel took a historical event and rewrote the basic facts of the Alamo, Goliad, events leading up the the Battle of San Jacinto and the characters involved and has presented them as fact to an audience who may not know what actually happened.
Now anyone who doesn't know the facts will think that:
1. Lorca survived the Alamo. 2. Emily was sleeping with Sam Houston. 3. Central and East Texas are full of mountains with hundred foot high cliffs. 4. etc.
Shame on you History Channel. You were to report History, not rewrite it. What will you do next, create a mini-series about how Adolf Hitler was really a secret spy for the American Army during WWII while sleeping with a British official's wife?
Can I trust anything else I see on the History Channel anymore?
