Description: From the Preface...

There would be no quarter.

“Remember Goliad!” shouted one Texian.

Another hoarse voice bellowed, “Remember the Alamo!”

Ramón Caro, personal assistant to General Santa Anna, found that his army had been taken by “complete surprise. The rest of the engagement developed with lightning rapidity.”

The intense action erupting near the banks of the San Jacinto River, too close for the proper reloading of rifles and muskets, turned to hand-to-hand combat in many cases. To the victor would go proper claim to the newly proclaimed Republic of Texas.

Victory or death was the only order of the day.
