It has been rumored that Santa Anna was spared because he was a Mason. The best information I have turned up was it was necessary to keep him alive to keep from fighting other generals in the area.
I live within a nice walk of the San Jacinto Battleground---it is today unlike it was in 1836 but one can wander the ground and imagine.
How did they kill 700 Mexican solders in 30 minutes of fighting and loosing less than a dozen. Boys that must have been a hell of a whooping---I can't imagine.
Then there is that Yellow Rose of Texas thing.
Did you ever stop and ask yourownself how Houston got behind the Mexicans ? It was not an accident.
Why were they there to begin with ?
Did you know that the President of the US had a spy in Houston's camp ?
Then there is the still fought war of the Neuces Strip.
Blessings
