Thank you, Texas!




Sam Houston


Sam Houston
On April 21, 1836 prior to leading his soldiers into the Battle of San Jacinto against Santa Anna, Sam Houston spoke to the troops:

"We view ourselves on the eve of battle. We are nerved for the contest, and must conquer or perish.

It is vain to look for present aid: none is at hand. We must now act or abandon all hope!

Rally to the standard, and be no longer the scoff of mercenary tongues!

Be men, be free men, that your children may bless their father's name."
