[QUOTE="Judge Bean, post: 5647, member: 42"] [b]Religion[/b] Odd thing is, the saying originates with J. Frank Dobie, I believe, as his conclusion about a particular legend-- whether or not Col. Travis drew a line in the dirt with his sword and asked all who would stay with him to defend the Alamo to step over. Odd, also, that the story of the line in the dirt comes down to us in a way that might remind you of the way religious stories survive time. Louis Rose, a Napoleonic veteran, was said to be the only one who would not cross the line. He made his way on foot to the Zuber ranch; Mary Zuber heard his story, told in broken English, and memorized it (she was illiterate). She then told her grandson, who wrote it up for the papers 40 years after the battle, and admitted to embellishing it in some unknown fashion. Legend is just one of the ways human beings learn and know things; it is a bed of fact slept in by many, each having the same dream with variations. It is one of the primary sources of religious history. [/QUOTE]
