San Jacinto Newspaper May 23, 1836

[Joy Manuel]

I have always had interest in the Battle of San Jacinto as my relative Benjamin Brigham was one of the first to fall during the battle.
I thought I would share this as I found it interesting.
To me its just a different way of looking at things that happened.
The date of which this was written, is most fresh in the mind of the person that wrote it.
Here it also says that Santa Anna was betrayed by some of his own officers.
Its a good read if you haven't read it. If you have then I am very sorry for taking up time.

Interesting. I especially like the line, "and then with rifles, whose effects are seldom useless in the hands of such as then used them." ;D
