Texans in Revolt: The Battle for San Antonio, 1835

Alwyn Barr

4.9/5 (12080 ratings)

Description:The first comprehensive history and analysis of the Siege of B�xar in early nineteenth-century Texas.While the battles of 1836--the Alamo, Goliad, and San Jacinto--are well-known moments in the Texas Revolution, the battle for B�xar in the fall of 1835 is often overlooked. Yet this lengthy siege, which culminated in a Texan victory in December 1835, set the stage for those famous events and for the later revolutionary careers of Sam Houston, James Bowie, and James W. Fannin.Drawing on extensive research and on-site study around San Antonio, Alwyn Barr completely maps the ebbs and flows of the B�xar campaign for the first time. He studies the composition of the two armies and finds that they were well matched in numbers and fighting experience--revising a common belief that the Texans defeated a force four times larger. He analyzes the tactics of various officers, revealing how ambition and revolutionary politics sometimes influenced the Texas army as much as military strategy. And he sheds new light on the roles of the Texan and Mexican commanders, Stephen F. Austin and Mart�n Perfecto de Cos.As this excellent military history makes clear, to the famous rallying cry "Remember the Alamo!" "Remember Goliad!" should be added: "And don't forget San Antonio!""Will most likely remain for some time the standard work on this battle. Outstanding scholarship and research are reflected in the book, including on-site study of the locale. . . . This is an important military history, and as such, it should be in all Texana collections." --Review of Texas Books"This is a significant contribution to the study of Texas history. Texans in Revolt will be the standard work on this campaign." --Ralph A.
