About This Item

IMG_0374.JPG

Thanks to 2 Cats Big Tex TB achieved his first goal on July 6, 2005 which was to visit the grave of Fort Worth's namesake, General William Jenkins Worth, who is buried beneath a fifty foot-granite spire at Broadway and Fifth Avenue in New York City.

Big Tex's goals now are to visit places of significance in the life of General Worth:

  • The Military Academy at West Point where he was commandant of Cadets in 1825,
  • Tampa Bay, Florida where he ended the Seminole War in 1842, and
  • San Antonio, Texas where he was Commander of the Department of Texas in 1849.

Airmont Steve brought General Worth to Baltimore last weekend and planned to drop him off. There were torrential rains there, so I left them with the Monacans. They will place him so that he could soon continue his journey south.

A coin toss on whether to send him N or S. I guess N wins, because that seems most logical. He'll be on his way in a few days, Team Wahoo.
