Santa Anna winds are really ripping this AM . . . to damn windy to play golf.
Speaking of Santa Ana . . .
Opposing him would be more than 20,000 Mexicans, some of whom were seasoned veterans under the command of Santa Anna, the Centralist leader butcher and coward who 10 years earlier invaded Texas, ordered the massacre at Goliad and led the attack on the Alamo.
Reading about Winfield Scott, I couldn't help but think about Patton. Any chance this was a "reincarnation" thing? ;o)
Patton believed in reincarnation, don't know if he ever said he was Winfield Scott though.
LOL! Nice lead in!
