In the meantime the patriots or Texas were gathering at Washington on the Brazos for the convention Which was to declare Texas free and Independent Some of the delegates were tn-- favor of abandoning their purpose for gathering there and hurrying to the rescue of Travis, Bowie, Bonham, Crockett and their comrades in the Alamo. But Sam Houston and others pointed out that any force they could assemble In such a short time would be useless against Santa Anna's army and that their first responsibility was to create a government with a responsible, head which could offer organized resistance to the enemy. Their counsels prevailed. It was not a matter of deserting their countrymen In peril as that bare statement of fact might indicate. For while the doomed men In the Alamo were fighting against overwhelming odds, the little group of men who met at Washington were hazarding their lives, too. Failure of their enterprise meant death for them if. they fell into the hands of Santa Anna as surely as the fan of the Alamo meant death for Its defenders. So the convention went ahead with Its work and on March 2 the declaration was signed. No word of what had taken place there got through to the defenders of the Alamo who may or may not have realized that they were to be the first to lay down their lives In defense of the prinThe final entry ciples set forth in that dncrtment. on March R.

But It only can be applied with all its shameful corollaries of treachery and broken word of honor to the mnrder of more than 800 members of Fannin's command, unarmed prisoners, many of them wounded and helpless, who had surrendered only upon a solemn convention, signed and witnessed by both Texans and Mexicans, that they would be honorably treated as prisoners of war. That murder was committed by orders of the man who loved to style himself "the Napolean of the Vest," but whom. Texans remember as Santa Anna, "the prince of butchers." From then on events marched rapidly. In fat the shortness and decisiveness of the Texan strug gle js one or tne most amazing things about it. The war for freedom in 76 lasted five years after independence had been declared. The war for freedom in '30 lasted less than three months after a similar declaration. Enter now another hero which Texas shares with the. nation, the Washington of '80, Sam Houston, lieutenant of "Old frontiersman, Hickory" Jackson when he crushed the Creek Indians at Tohopeka, governor of Tennessee and congressman. Stephen F. Austin, the "father of Texas," scholar, trained business man, legislator, who had planted the first American colony in that state In 1820, had returned from a Mexican prison at the outbreak of the war to organize an army to defend Texan liberties and assumed command of the army. Not long after the conven tion at San Felipe In June, 18.15, Austin was appointed commissioner to obtain money and munitions from the United States, and Sam Hous ton became commander In chief of the little array of less than 1,000 men. Then this master strategist began the retreat which lured Santa Anna Into dividing his army and pursuing just the thing that Houston wanted. Finally Houston decided that he had lured the enemy far enough" and prepared to give battle. The position he took for his army was a dangerous one. On one side lay a deep marsh and the waters of San Jacinto bay. Behind them was a stream called Buffalo bayou, crossed about eight miles distant by Vlnce's bridge, the sole avenue of escape In event of disaster. And Houston, unknown to his men, sent Deaf Smith, the famous scout, and a companion to chop down ' this bridge! On the afternoon of April 21, 1838, Houston led his little army of 78.1 men, poorly armed, against Santa Anna's 1,400 veterans and their artillery. As they advanced to attack the enemy, Deaf Smith dashed madly up on a horse and, swinging his ax over his head, shouted "I have cut down Vlnce's bridge. Now fight for your lives and remember the Alamo I" As the Texans, shouting the battle cry which Deaf Smith had glveB them, swept down upon the Mexican camp, the enemy, who had not dreamed of the possibility of an attack by the Texans, fled In dismay. In fifteen minutes Santa Anna's army was on the run. Wnen tne oaiue waa over aiaiuu auu Goliad had been revenged Six hundred and thirty Mexicans were dead, 20S were wounded and 730 were prisoners. Houston's loss was 7 killed and It was one f the most crushing 23 wounded defeats ever Inflicted by Americans on an enemy. The next day Santa Anna was captured and the war for Independence was won, although It was not formally acknowledged until May 14 when " the treaty of Velnsco was signed. So It was eminently fitting that the Washington of the war for freedom In "30 should become the first President of the new Republic of Texan and later when the the first governor of the state of Texasfield of the Lone Star took Its place on the bine Texas of the capital Although and Stripes.
