Howard: You ever hear of the Travis Letter? William Barrett Travis, 1836. On the second day of the siege of the Alamo, he writes a letter asking for reinforcements. He signs it victory or death.
John: What's that got to do with your family?
Howard: The Travis Letter is one of the most famous documents in the history of Texas. What people didn't know was that there was more to it, an addendum that I personally discovered. It made me the toast of the historical community. I traveled all over, giving lectures, months and months away from Matin and his mom.
John: Sounds like quite the achievement.
Howard: I forged it. Suddenly, all those papers that had been praising me were smearing my name.
