"A Glimpse of Texas”
by Jeffery Robenalt

Although the Battle of San Jacinto lasted a mere eighteen minutes, it was the culmination of six years of struggle. The struggle had its roots in the oppressive Mexican Law of 1830 that banned American immigration, in the disturbances at Anahuac and Velasco, in the arrest and imprisonment of Stephen F. Austin, and in the fighting that began at Gonzales and the siege of San Antonio and led to the slaughter of the defenders at the Alamo and Goliad.

On March 2, 1836, the convention at Washington-on-the-Brazos declared Texas independence. Four days after the declaration, word arrived from Colonel William Barrett Travis of the Alamo’s plight. Unaware that the Alamo had already fallen, Sam Houston, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Texas army, immediately left the convention for Gonzales to take command of the troops there and go to Travis’s aid.

Houston rode into Gonzales on March 11, and that evening heard from two Tejanos recently arrived from San Antonio that the Alamo had fallen and that its gallant defenders had died fighting to the last man. The tragic news was confirmed two days later by Susannah Dickinson, wife of one of the defenders, who had been released by General Santa Anna to spread fear and panic across Texas. The dictator’s plan worked to perfection. Reports of the slaughter at the Alamo terrified the people of Gonzales and settlers throughout the area.

Panic stricken, the colonists believed Santa Anna would sweep eastward with his well-trained army and kill every Texan in his path. Thus began the frightened exodus known to Texas history as the “Runaway Scrape.” The people hurriedly packed what possessions they could carry in wagons, in carts, on horseback, and even on their backs, and fled for their lives toward the safety of the Sabine River and refuge in the United States. Knowing full well that his few green troops were no match for Santa Anna’s veterans, Houston evacuated Gonzales and burned the town to the ground in the wake of his retreat.
