Say hello to our new National Mammal.
Yesterday the American bison officially joined the ranks of the Bald Eagle as the official symbol of the U.S. when President Obama signed the National Bison Legacy Act into law. And much like the eagle, the bison is one of the greatest conservation success stories of all time.

Wagon Yard:
Back in the old days there were no parking lots. Nevertheless, when cowboys, ranchers, farmers and other folks came to town they needed some place to put their wagons, some place that they knew would be safe. Such is the case with this 1880s photo of H. Dugan's wagon yard in Fort Worth.

This 1849 daguerreotype is the oldest known photo of the Alamo, and the only known photo that shows the building before it was repaired and rebuilt by the U.S. Army in 1850. At that time the army altered the appearance of the Alamo in several ways, including adding the distinctive curved gable at the top of the church facade, which is perhaps its best known feature. The Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin bought the daguerreotype with funds donated for that purpose by former Texas governor Dolph Briscoe Jr. and his wife, former University of Texas System regent Janey Briscoe. The daguerreotype now resides at the Briscoe Center as part of their permanent collection.
