San Jacinto Field of Glory Recalls Sam Houston
The narrative recalls Houston leading 600 Texians against Santa Anna's 1,270 near the Brazos and Sabine forks, the Texan retreat then pivotal events at San Jacinto, the Alamo tragedy, and Houston's rise to commander in chief amid Revolutionary era perils. Santa Anna fled, and Houston's defense was marked by strategic patience and timely artillery.
