1836 Alamo Houston Jacinto Mexican Tells
EDITORS COMMENTS
April 21, 1836: General Sam Houston Rallies His Men at the Battle of San Jacinto - A Turning Point in Texas History This evocative image captures the intensity and determination of General Sam Houston as he addresses his troops during the pivotal Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. The scene unfolds on the battlefield of San Jacinto, near present-day Houston, Texas, where the Texan forces were engaged in a fierce struggle against the Mexican army, led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna. As the sun began to rise on this fateful morning, Houston, a seasoned military leader, knew that this day would decide the fate of the Texan Revolution. With the cry of "Remember the Alamo!" echoing in their ears, Houston's men were fueled by the memory of the brutal massacre of their comrades at the Alamo mission just months earlier. The battle was about to begin, and the outcome hung in the balance. Houston's words, captured in this moment, served as a rallying cry for his troops. They were a reminder of the sacrifices made by their fallen comrades and a call to action for the men standing before him. With a fierce resolve, they prepared to charge into battle, determined to secure their independence from Mexico. The Battle of San Jacinto proved to be a decisive victory for the Texans, with Santa Anna being captured shortly after the engagement. This victory paved the way for the establishment of the Republic of Texas and ultimately led to Texas joining the United States as a state in 1845. This powerful image, taken from the extensive Mary Evans Prints Online archive, offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history, one that continues to resonate with the spirit of courage and determination that defined the Texan Revolution.
