Description
The Texas Revolution is remembered chiefly for the thirteen-day siege of the Alamo and its immortal heroes. This book describes the war and the preceding years that were marked by resentments and minor confrontations because the ambitions of Mexico’s leaders clashed with the territorial determination of Texan settlers. When the war broke in October 1835, the invading Mexicans, underneath the leadership of the fancy President-Common Santa Ana, absolutely expected to crush a ragged army of frontiersmen. Led by Sam Houston, the Texans rallied in defense of the brand new Lone Star state, defeated the Mexicans in a trifling 18 mins on the battle of San Jacinto and won their independence.
