Former Alamo Custodians Sue for Artifacts in Collection

A group that served as guardians of the Alamo for more than a century before the state of Texas announced it was taking over day-to-day management of the historic site is suing for control of more than 30,000 books and artifacts at its library. The Daughters of the Republic of Texas filed suit Monday against the Texas General Land Office, alleging the agency "unilaterally declared" the state owner of the organization's private library collection.
