SAN ANTONIO- The Alamo! It's the focal point in San Antonio, and it houses all of the secrets and history of the stand at the Battle of the Alamo. Now, those secrets are being exposed.
On Thursday, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas announced a historic discovery inside the Alamo Shrine. While conservation crews were working, they found the year "1802" as well as the letters "WVA" and the number "54" carved into a wall. The writing was on the window seal just above the main doors of the shrine.
"This discovery is important because it opens up a whole other chapter of the Alamo that hasn't really been researched," explained Pam Rosser who is the Alamo Conservator. "There was a time in Texas were the French (were) moving in. Spain was here but not as prominent."
Researchers are not sure if the date or letters have any meaning, but they are excited about this new discovery.
