Ah.
My meaning was that that was Billy Bob Thornton's last line in the recent remake of The Alamo (an excellent movie and my favorite version, by the way), but nothing is known at all of David Crockett's last words, if any.

What are you talking about? That made no sense at all.

Astor, Lady Nancy (1879-1964) "Jakie, is it my birthday or am I dying?" (Seeing all her children assembled at her bedside in her last illness.)
Barrymore, John (1882-1942) Die? I should say not, dear fellow. No Barrymore would allow such a conventional thing to happen to him. Claudel, Paul (1868-1955) "Doctor, do you think it could have been the sausage?" Eastman, George (1854-1932) "My work is done, why wait?" (His suicide note.) Something tells me that people born in the 19th century were a lot more entertaining when dying |

For you civil war fans, this should be an easy "who said it."

Now, here's one. "Say to General Hancock for me, that I have done him, and you all, a grievous injury, which I shall regret the longest day I live."

Allegedly, just so. There's been some historical dispute over Armistead's last words; some measure of 'idolization' of him has occurred in the last twenty years or so, certainly since Michael Shaara's Killer Angels, and the portrayal of GEN Armistead by Richard Jordan in the movie Gettysburg, which was based on Shaara's book.
Still and all, a brave man in a troubled time.

I remember from Gettysburg that he and Hancock were good friends, so it was a pretty easy guess, but guess nevertheless
soooo.... what do I win ![]() |

My only comment was addressed to the actual "I'm a screamer" line. That's from the scriptwriter's imagination. I also notice that there are many references here to "famous last lines" that, while funny, could hardly be considered bad@$$.

But in this case while the words may sound just 'famous'. Anyone who is a student of history and higher learning, such as myself, would know when Joseph of Aramathea wrote these last words he was at the same time fighting the Black Beast. Last edited by Rockstar; 03-02-11 at 08:27 AM. |
