I just had a Curillian thought. Why would we think that the reserve column when applied simply attacked the north wall? Could a portion of them have been ordered to reinforce Morales on the south, thus increasing his numbers beyond 100? Information on the reserves and their role in the assault has always seemed vague to me.

Without specific info in front of me, I recall the reserves were with Santa Anna to the north and would have attacked from that position. Also, Santa Anna's motivation for sending them in was his perception that the main attack, which was focused at the north end, was foundering.

AW I totally agree that this has been our assumption all along. My question is, could this be too broad an assumption? Why do we say that's how it was? Heck, a few years ago, all the Texians died within the walls! |
