Description
Crushing losses at the Alamo and Goliad sent the Texans reeling. With the stronger Mexican army poised for victory, General Sam Houston commanded all that remained of the Texas army fighting for its independence. Greatly outnumbered, General Houston mounted his white horse and led his soldiers into battle at San Jacinto. Surprising the Mexican troops with their bold attack, the fiery Texans rallied to an overwhelming victory, claiming their independence. One of the founders of Texas, Sam Houston served the state as a governor and senator—but he's most remembered as an American hero.
