mar 19, 1836 - Battle at Coleto Creek
When James Fannin heard that Sam Houston
wanted everyone to meet at Victoria, he left and
met up with 2 other generals. While stopping to
let their oxen rest, they were ambushed by the Mexican
Army. They were able to defend the first several waves, but
when they got more reinforcements, they had to surrender,
and the Mexicans killed all of them off.
