soldiers disbanded. Steele remained
In Washington until the Declaration
Of Independence was signed. where
upon he Immediately started for San
Antonio to Join Travis and aid in de.

way he learned that the Alamo had
fallen
In company with other patriots he
then proceeded down the Colorado
river and Joined the army which Gen
eral Houston was gathering about
him As General Houston and his
gathering force OF patriots and ad
ven'urers moved onward toward the
Buffalo bayou and the San Jacintc'
river. General Santa Ana and his
army followed closely. hoping to get
the Texans in a close position and
make an attack.
The Texas army found itself in q

and in order that It might be fight
