The museum of the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas has (or did when I was last
there) a Brown Bess on display with an explanation that such muskets were
used by General Santa Ana's Mexican Army in it's ill-fated attempt to deny
Texans their independence. The Alamo fight was in February, 1836, and I
assume that the guns had been sold off by HM's Government a decade before.
Does anyone know if that is correct and how a significant number of them may
have found their way to Mexico?
