Battle of San Jacinto

[txclass]

SAN JACINTO, birthplace of Texas liberty! Where, with cries of "Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!"  In a battle lasting under 20 minutes, Sam Houston and his ragged band of 910 pioneers routed Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, President and Dictator of Mexico and self-styled "Napoleon of the West," with his proud army, and changed the map of North America!

With March fast approaching it's time to look forward celebrating Texas Independence day,  the Battle of the Alamo, the slaughter at Goliad and the decisive defeat of the Mexican army at San Jacinto. This post seemed appropriate to resurrect
