Do you have a list of those men who participated in the Black Bean Affair? Would it be appropriate to identify them and note where they are buried or what became of them?
I attended the memorial dedication of Ranger Samual McFall, a survivor of the affair. On 19 April of 2008, the Ranger marker was place by his headstone. He is buried in the Scott's Chapel Cememtery, Hillsboro, TX.
I am not from Texas, but the Meir Expedition and the events of the affair was very moving. This past week I visited the Alamo and saw some of the documents relating to the affair.
