    Battles of the Texas Revolution: 1835 Campaign © Stephen L. Hardin, Ph.D., McMurry University Battle of Gonzales Date: October 2, 1835 Texian Force: 150 Texian Commander: John Henry Moore Centralist Force: 100 Centralist Commander: Francisco Castañeda Texian Casualties: 1 wounded Centralist Casualties: 2 killed Analysis: Opening engagement of the Texas Revolution, hence the “Lexington of Texas.” The Texians actually boasted two artillery pieces: the six-pound “Come-and-Take-It” cannon and another that Castañeda described as an “esmeril”—a diminutive gun firing a ball that weighed about ¼ of a pound. The esmeril remains on display at the Gonzales Memorial Museum. While more a skirmish than a battle, the engagement was nonetheless important as the spark that set off the powder keg. Shots were fired; blood was shed; the dye was cast. Battle of Gonzales: Location and Images Capture of the Presidio La Bahía (Goliad) Date: October 9, 1835 Texian Force: 125 Texian Commander: George Collinsworth Centralist Force: 50 Centralist Commander: Juan López Sandoval Texian Casualties: 1 wounded Centralist Casualties: 1 killed, 3 wounded Analysis: Centralist General Martín Perfecto de Cos stripped the garrison, leaving a skeleton force to defend the presidio. The small number was insufficient to defend the perimeter. Following an assault lasting about half an hour, the centralist garrison capitulated. Collinsworth paroled the captured centralists, most of whom retired to a point below the Rio Grande. Texian militiamen appropriated some $10,000 worth of enemy supplies, including numerous cannon. Collinsworth transferred the artillery to General Stephen F. Austin’s “Volunteer Army of the People of Texas” outside San Antonio de Béxar.

    Independence Trail Region, Known As the “Cradle of Texas Liberty,” Comprises a 28-County Area Stretching More Than 200 Miles from San Antonio to Galveston

    n the saga of Texas history, no era is more distinctive or accented by epic events than Texas’ struggle for independence and its years as a sovereign republic. During the early 1800s, Spain enacted policies to fend off the encroachment of European rivals into its New World territories west of Louisiana. I As a last-ditch defense of what’s now Texas, the Spanish Crown allowed immigrants from the U.S. to settle between the Trinity and Guadalupe rivers. The first settlers were the Old Three Hundred families who established Stephen F. Austin’s initial colony. Lured by land as cheap as four cents per acre, homesteaders came to Texas, first in a trickle, then a flood. In 1821, sovereignty shifted when Mexico won independence from Spain, but Anglo-American immigrants soon outnumbered Tejanos (Mexican-Texans). Gen. Antonio López de Santa Anna seized control of Mexico in 1833 and gripped the country with ironhanded rule. By 1835, the dictator tried to stop immigration to Texas, limit settlers’ weapons, impose high tariffs and abolish slavery — changes resisted by most Texans. Texas The Independence ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Trail ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ On March 2, 1836, after more than a year of conclaves, failed negotiations and a few armed conflicts, citizen delegates met at what’s now Washington-on-the-Brazos and declared Texas independent.

    Mission Refugio Original Site Calhoun County, Texas

    Mission Refugio Original Site Calhoun County, Texas Context When, at the close of the seventeenth century, the French and the Spaniards first attempted to occupy the Gulf coast near Matagorda Bay, that region was the home of a group of native tribes now called Karankawa. The principal tribes of the group were the Cujane, Karankawa, Guapite (or Coapite), Coco, and Copane. They were closely interrelated, and all apparently spoke dialects of the same language, which was different from that of their neighbors farther inland. The Karankawa dwelt most commonly along the coast to the east and the west of Matagorda Bay; the Coco on the mainland east of Matagorda Bay near the lower Colorado River: the Cujane and Guapite on either side of the bay, particularly to the west of it; and the Copane from the mouth of the Guadalupe River to around Copano Bay, to which the tribe has given its name1. Their total number was estimated at from four to five hundred fighting men. 1 The Spanish Missions in Texas comprise a series of religious outposts established by Spanish Catholic Dominicans, Jesuits, and Franciscans to spread the Christian doctrine among the local Native Americans, but with the added benefit of giving Spain a toehold in the frontier land. The missions introduced European livestock, fruits, vegetables, and industry into the Texas region. In addition to the presidio (fort) and pueblo (town), the misión was one of the three major agencies employed by the Spanish crown to extend its borders and consolidate its colonial territories. In all, twenty-six missions were maintained for different lengths of time within the future boundaries of the state.

    Media Contact: Jeanne Albrecht, PR Coordinator Sellmark 210-392-9047 [email protected] (Please email or call for photos, videos, advance interviews, etc.) October 2015 For Immediate Release: Washington on the Brazos to mark 180th Anniversary of Texas Independence and 100th Birthday of this State Park 2016 will be an especially important year for Washington on the Brazos State Historic Site: not only is it the 180th anniversary of the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico in 1836 at Washington on the Brazos, but it will also be the state park's 100th birthday. It was March 2, 1836 when 59 delegates bravely met in Washington, Texas to make a formal declaration of independence from Mexico. From 1836 until 1846, the Republic of Texas proudly existed as a separate nation. To commemorate the 180th anniversary of Texas Independence, the three entities that administer and support this site—Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept (TPWD), Blinn College and Washington on the Brazos State Park Association—are planning some Texas-sized celebrations. “Texas Independence Day Celebration” (TIDC) is an annual two-day celebration from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 5 and Sunday, March 6, 2016 on the expansive 293-acre park grounds and its three incredible attractions: Star of the Republic Museum (collections and programs honoring history of early Texans, administered by Blinn College); Independence Hall (replica of the site where representatives wrote the Texas Declaration of Independence); and Barrington Living History Farm (where interpreters dress, work and farm as did the original residents of this homestead).

He was at the Battle of San Jacinto and served in the Texas Rangers in the late 1830’s. His grave site near San Antonio was the site of a Ranger Cross dedication on this same date.

    Competing Mexican and Anglo Placenaming in Texas, 1821–1836 Gene Rhea Tucker University of Texas at Arlington, USA

    names, Vol. 59 No. 3, September, 2011, 139–51 Re-Naming Texas: Competing Mexican and Anglo Placenaming in Texas, 1821–1836 Gene Rhea Tucker University of Texas at Arlington, USA When Mexico gained its independence from the Spanish Empire in 1821, numerous placenames across the country changed to become uniquely “Mexican.” This “national project” of Mexicanization attempted to foster a nation-wide sense of mexicanidad, highlighting the country’s Amerindian past and commemorating its patriotic heroes. Communities and provinces of the former New Spain chose new toponyms to emphasize their newfound Mexican identity. This process extended to the northern province of Texas, as officials and settlers tried to utilize typically Mexican placenames in an attempt to Mexicanize the province. The toponyms used by settlers in Texas, however, reflected the stresses between its Mexican and Anglo inhabitants. Though some settlers tried to prove their loyalty to Mexico, most immi- grants from the United States, with little respect for their new homeland, clung tenaciously to their culture and refused to assimilate. This included their use of the English language and typically American placenames. Mexico lost the power to name Texas, and it eventually lost power in Texas. keywords Mexico, Texas, toponyms, Mexicanization, nationalism Toponyms, like any other cultural artifact, can illustrate the history of a place and the people who lived there. Nation-states have utilized placenames to project their power over the landscape and the population under their control. They can use the power of names to create a sense of nationalism, honoring heroes and history. One popular example is the Russian city of St Petersburg, which, for political reasons, went from St Petersburg to Petrograd to Leningrad and back to St Petersburg over eight decades in the twentieth century.

Volume 21, Number 20 ~ Monday, May 20, 2013 (No. 961) Featured Article Presidio La Bahia - Goliad, Texas RETURN TO TABLE OF CONTENTS Prior to the Texas Revolution, the Mexican government maintained two major garrisons within Texas. The first, and better known, was the Alamo, at San Antonio de Bexar. The lesser known, but as important to Texas’ history, was the “Presidio Nuestra Señora de Loreto de la Bahía” (more commonly known as “Presidio La Bahia,” or simply “La Bahia”), near present day Goliad, on the San Antonio River. La Bahia was built by the Spanish Army in 1721 on the ruins of the former (French) Fort Saint Louis. The presidio was moved to a location on the Guadalupe River in 1726, and, in 1747, the fort and its mission were moved to their current location. By the late 18th century, by then rebuilt in stone, La Bahia remained as the only Spanish fort along the Gulf Coast.

    INTRODUCTION TO SECOND EDITION The Alamo's Texas Maps for Teachers recognizes that history and geography are inseparable. This project was conceived after listening to teachers voice their concerns that current maps detailing Texas early history were inadequate for their needs. These new maps have been designed by educators for educators. A textual description for each map was written by Dr. Richard B. Winders, Historian & Curator for the Alamo. Dr. Donald S. Frazier, Professor of History at McMurry University in Abilene, Texas, produced the maps. The two educators have worked together on other projects for publishers Houghton Mifflin and Macmillan Reference. Texas Maps for Teachers has several different uses: It is a supplemental reader for teachers unfamiliar with Texas History. The comprehensive overview of important events and themes should be useful to any teacher. Overhead transparencies of the maps it can be produced for use in the classroom by scanning them into a computer and printing them onto commercially available transparency film. Used in combination with the textual descriptions, Texas Maps for Teachers can be used as a mini-textbook for Texas history from 1700 through 1850. The Alamo would like to thank several individuals who contributed their time by reviewing and commenting on this project at various stages. Dr. Ron Tyler, Executive Director of the Texas State Historical Association, offered valuable suggestions that were incorporated into the text and maps. Two teacher in San Antonio's North East Independent School District provided input from their respective grade levels: Barbara Yost, Windcrest Elementary School and Michael Bailey, Omar N. Bradley Middle School.
