Remember Goliad!: A History of La Baha (Fred Rider Cotten Popular History Series)

When Sam Houston's soldiers fought at San Jacinto, their battle cry was "Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!" Craig H. Roell's lively study brings to life the latter community. The book tells the story of James Fannin and his men, who surrendered to Mexican forces with the understanding that they would be treated as prisoners of war and then were massacred on orders from Santa Anna. Like the men who died at the Alamo, the men who died at Goliad became heroes of the struggle for Texas independence.Craig H. Roell is the author of 'Remember Goliad!: A History of La Baha (Fred Rider Cotten Popular History Series)', published 1994 under ISBN 9780876111413 and ISBN 087611141X.
