  • Victory or Death: The Roads to San Jacinto

    Victory or Death: The Roads to San Jacinto
    Jun 3 2024
    Victory or Death! Everyone remembers the famous line of William Barret Travis’ call for aid before he and close to 200 other Texas rebels fell at the Alamo. It’s a phrase that has echoed down through the past to the present day as a cry of defiance. During the early months of 1836 it served as a warning. Victory had not come for the audacious young Travis who had been a firebrand in lighting the fires of the conflict. It had not come for Fannin and his men. Death had been served up to them and the way things were progressing it was death chasing at the heels of the Texas families flying towards the Sabine and for Houston and his army it was death or failure that hounded them as they withdrew. Only victory could save the cause. Victory or death hung in the balance and the needle was significantly pointing towards one more than the other.
