?jone Star state.?
Santa Anna start?
ed on bis campaign
for tbe conquest
of Texas with the
avowed policy of
extermination,
and in the coarse
of events came the
massacre at the Alamo March 6,1S36, and
jjthe slaughter of CoL ?*. w- Fannin and 330
of hb men near Goliad March 27. These
affairs led to the abandonment of the line
of Sm Antonio river by the Texan troops.
G>?.^ouston,Vh"o-, -after a lapse, bari been
restored to the general command of the
Texan army, ?ad previously"ordered this
course, but his plans had l>een frustrated.
When the news of Col. Tannin's surrender
reached him, on. the 9th of March, he was
on the east bank of the Colorado with
a force of* about 60Q men. Santa Anna
had begun his march from the San An?
tonio eastward it? several columns, and
in person led a column that crossed the
Guadalupe at Gonzales and .proceeded
eastward toward Houston's position.
';Another Mexican division was moving.
Eastward- on the-sooth of Santa Anna's
route, and another on the north. Houston
retired l>eiore Santa Anna to the Brazos
and then to the San Jacinto. His object
ivas to divide the Mexicans and whip the
columns in detail. Fortunately the north?
ern Mexican column got bewildered in the
forest, and ascended the Colorado instead
. of crossing it to overrun eastern Texas.
The southern column^ was delayed by high
^water and did not cross the ^Brazos. This
"left-HotE'tOB but one army to cope with,
but" that ot tnumbered him two to one
Besides, the whole country in front of tlie
'Mexicans was in a state of alarm, and the
inhabitants, fleeing ".eastward at the ap?
proach of the invaders, terrified their fel?
low citizens, aud menwhom Houston want?
ed in his ranks to fight were engaged in
piloting their families to places of safety. .
Santa Anna crossed the Brazos at San
Felipe on the 7th of April, and Houston on
learning this ordered *d I Texan troops on
that river to join him at Harrisburg, on
the San Jacinto. Harrisburg bad become
the seat of government of Texas, and Santa
Anna marched upon it aud destroyed it be?
fore Houston's arrival. From Harrisburg
the Mexicans moved southward toward
New. Washington, and had entered a re
gion where at that season cf the ycz.t there
was but one practicable route to move an
army. In other words, Santa Anna must
press onward---across the San Jacinto to
"eastern Texas, or return and meet Houston,
who weis behind him,and between him and
the Brazos and his supporting columns, i
Qu the 19th of April Houston left Harris
-borg, intending by a rapid march to reach
Lynch's ferry atibe mouth of the San Ja?
cinto ahead of Santa Anna, and there give
battle He had pick?d up re-eu forcements
that swelled his army to SOO men. and had
also received two six-pouuders, called the
"Twin Sisters," that had been sent by
some friendly people, of Cincinnati to aid
the Texan cause.
On the 20th Houston went into camp on
the right bank of Buffalo bayou, one mile
from the ferry, that Santa Anna was aim?
ing to reach. : His- position was screened
by a fringe of timber parallel to the l>auk
of the bayou. Keconnoissances soon de?
veloped the fact that the Mexican army lay
eoej?mped l^yonitbB^iinVer^and was pre?
paring to cross at the ferry. Some skir?
mishing took place duri UK tbe latter part
^of>"t!be><diryy -JWKKat mghtr the Mexicans
began to fortify. Their position was crit?
ical in the extreiue, for a marsh extended
along their right and rear, and the Texans
could compel the&-to fight for a roadway
should they attempt either to advance or
tor return whence they came. Some of
liouston's officers wished to ?nova to? the
attack at once, but Houston was not ready.
.*Totm*rrow,'* said he, "I wi li conquer,
slaughter and put to flight the entire Mex?
ican nrraj, and it shall not cost me a dozen
of my brave men."
?Yetior all bis outward confidence the
situation with bini was desperate in view
of his numbers. Santa Anna had 1,800 well
disciplined -veterans, while many of the
.Texans were..-raw,.sokIiers, Houston had
ia.beck toCthe impassable -bayou, anda
disaster on either flank would leave him
but one route of escape. At 'J o'clock
on the 21st a smalfMexican force came into
view on the main road and moved toward
Santa Anna's camp. For fear that this

giving the impression that re-enforcements

ton spread the report among his followers

forces. 'At. noon the Tpxnn colonels asked
for a council of war, and it was granted
immediately. The majority favored wait?
ing in position for Santa Anna to attack,
it was held that the Mexican position was
weil fortified and defended by veterans,
and that an attack upon it across open
prairie with raw militia would beextremely
hazardous. The feeling among the troops
was favorable for at tack, and Houston took
thc responsibility of ordering a battle at j
once. An officer then proposed that a float- j
fog bridge be constructed for use on the j
bayou in case of disW r in the fight. On '
learning that Lhere A ?xe no materials at
hand for t he purpose without tear:ng down
a house, the general decided to ^'postpone"
building thc bridge for awhile. "Houston's
next act was to send a party to destroy the
bridge across Vince's bayou, over which
boih armies had marched to t he field. This
left but ono way of escape for the van
quished in the coming fi^ht-namely, the
crossing cnt f rhi* San Jacinto nt Lynch's
terry. When the order was given to de?
stroy Vince's bridge the officer who was to
execute it remarked, "This looks a good
deal like fight, general."
There was,.in fact, nothing left for either
Ride to lip but to fight or l>e slaughtered.
To u>e au expression coined during the
civil war. lioth armies were "bottled np."
Houston, however, had the ?hortest cut to
the neck of the ix>ttle. The fringe of wood
in front of the Texan camp enabled Hous?
ton to form his line unobserved by the
enemy. The center wa? composed of tho
First regiment, Col. Burleson; the Second
regiment, Coi. Sherman, formed the left;
the right was composed of the artillery
under Col. G. W. Hockley, four infantry
companies nnder Lieut. Col. Millard and
61 mounted nu n led by Col, M. Ii. Lamar.
It is like making burlesque of a muster to
call that an army where the cavalry, artil?
lery and in fan* ry combined number only
800, yet are commanded by a general in
chief, assisted by 3 field officers. There
wore 3 officers not included in the ros?
ter-Lieut. Cols. Somerville and Bennett
and Maj. Wells. Besides this array of
fighting ofljcers there was au adjutant gen?
eral, nu inspector general and a commis?
sary general, and the Texan secretary of
war accompanied Houston's headquarters.
The LiCadqunrters of this well officered host
were, by the way. extremely simple and ;
characteristic. A pair of saddle wallets
contained Houston's official papers and a
change of linen. While the Texan in fan-:
try was moving out_ from cover the puny
cavalry column of 61 troopers rode out and
engaged the Mexican horse to hold their
attention.
Houston ordered a grand charge, and just
as the men were ready to spring forward a
rider dashed down the line swinging an ax
over his head and crying out that Vince**
bridge had been destroyed. ' "Now fight for
i your lives and remember the Alamo!" he
shouted. The "Twin Sisters'' advanced to
within 200 yards of the Mexican works and
opened fire with grape and canister. The in?
fantry followed at double quick, the battle
cries, "RernembertheA/aino!" "Remember
Goliadl" resounding al< ng the line.
The enthusiasm and alertness of the
Texan leader were shared by his followers,
and these qualities, which are the highest
essentials for soldiers, carried the day at
San Jacinto. Santa Anna lay asleep under
a tree, and many of his officers were in the
same condition. The soldiers were either
eating or sleeping or playing their favorite
monte, and the whole camp was taken by
surprise. The little cavalry column of
Texans put the Mexican lancers to flight
The First Texas regiment mounted Santa
Anna's breastworks, composed of baggage,
chests and camp equipage, and seized the
Mexican guns before ?Le artillerymen had
time to fixe a round. A few Mexicans
showed fight, and Houston was wounded
outside the works and his horse was hit
two or three times.
As soon as the. Texans passed over the
Mexican works they clubbed their muskets
and pistols, and after disabling them took
to their bowie knives aud the weapons of
. "TOU CAN AFFORD TO BK GENEROUS. N
.the enemy. The fighting, if such it could
be called, was all one sided, and in fifteen
minutes from the time the column struck
the breastworks the Mexicans were in a
rout. The Texans pursued relentlessly
and drove their enemies into the swamps
beyond their camp, cutting down men and
horses on the margin to make bridges that
they might penetrate the morass and reach
tlie hapless fugitives mired in the interior.
Houston, painfully wounded, rode over
the field on his staggering horse and at?
tempted to stay the appalling carnage.
But men's passions are not so volatile.
One Texan was seen carrying two guns,
'and when asked why, be answered, "The
Mexicans killed my son and son-in-law in
the Alamo, and I intend to kill two of them
or be killed myself."
Two antagonists were seen to clinch on
the field and struggle for a time, when the
Texan got his right arm free and, whipping
out a bowie knife, cut the Mexican's throat.
The attempt to stay the hand of vengeance,
once the work had been commenced, was
like whistling down the wind. The aggre?
gate of tho Texans engaged was 783, and
630 Mexicans paid the penalty of death,
probably a man apiece for every Texan
soldier who could get near enough to do
execution. The wounded Mexicans num?
bered 2GS, and 730 were made prisoners.
The Texans lost 8 killed and 25 wounded.
- The spoils of the field were a godsend to
the Texans. They consisted of 1,400 arms
of various kinds, camp l?tensils and equi?
page, with a quantity of provisions and
$12,000 in silver.
The day after the battle Santa Anna was
found hiding in the garb of a private sol?
dier. On being brought to Houston, who
wj- under an oak resting his wounded
limb, he said, "General, you can afford to
be generous. You are born to no common
destiny; you have conquered the Napoleon
of the west."
After some parley Houston demanded
that the dictator order his second in com?
mand to evacuate Texas at once, and a dis?
patch to that effect was sent to the several
commanders of the Mexican columns that
same evening, April 22. As the Mexican
forces in Texas numbered between 5,000
and 6.U00 men, Houston's daring stroke at
San Jacinto with a beggarly army of less
than 800 militia was a masterpiece in its
' way.
A treaty -vas made on the 14>h of May,
three weeks after the battle, and recogni?
tion by the powers followed natural!}*, and
Texas took her place as an independent
state. GEORGE L. KILMER.
