Victory and Death: The Battle of San Jacinto

The Texas Revolution was not a matter of victory or death. It was both. This episode is a deep investigation into the history of the April 21, 1836 Battle of San Jacinto between Santa Anna's Mexican army and Sam Houston's Texian army in Peggy McCormick's cow pasture near the confluence of Buffalo Bayou and the San Jacinto River. For those that prefer shorter episodes, six parts will be released weekly. THIS EPISODE CONTAINS EXPLICIT DESCRIPTIONS OF VIOLENCE AND DEROGATORY STATEMENTS BY PEOPLE FROM THE 19TH CENTURY.
