The Battle of San Jacinto

The battle of the Alamo was a losing but inspirational part of the Texas war of independence.  Heroic Freemasons William B. Travis, James Bowie, Davy Crockett and others lost their lives in the bloody fight, which lasted 12 grueling days.  Forty-six days later at the Battle of San Jacinto, led by Brother Sam Houston, the Texans routed the Mexican army and won independence in a mere 18 minutes!
