“The diary sherry garland has written is not about the glory of war. It is, rather, a story about dreams, courage, freedom, and determination.” Journal entries
1) Saturday, November 7, 1835
Today I was bringing soap and pork to Mrs. Roe’s house for my mom. When I got there five men tried breaking in, Mrs. Roe sent me and her kids under her bed and wait while Mrs. Roe loads her musket. They successfully broke in but they did not get anything, I hit one of them over the head with a frying pan. Today was a life changer; I was able to not only stand up for myself but for other too.
2) Monday, February 22, 1836
Happy birthday, George Washington. I was going to a fandango, I really wanted Galba to go. When I got there a seventeen year old asked me to dance, I felt so good, and I felt like an adult. Whenever I’m with Galba he makes me feel like a little kid. 3) Tuesday, February 23, 1836
I could hardly fall asleep, the sound of carts on the bumpy road. Today my brother went into battle, while the rest of us went to the Alamo. It changed my everyday life from my home to traveling across a hot bumpy open prairie.
The battle of San Jacinto:
Birthplace of Texas liberty! San Jacinto, one of the world’s decisive battles! San Jacinto, where, with cries of "remember the Alamo, remember Goliad!" Sam Houston and his ragged band of 910 pioneers routed Santa Anna, President and Dictator of Mexico and self-styled "Napoleon of the West," with his proud army, and changed the map of North America! Texas was added to the United States!
The Goliad massacre:
After a delay of about five days following Houston's order, the Texans finally began their retreat. It was not long, however, before the Texans found themselves surrounded on open prairie. Several attacks by the Texans resulted each time with the Mexicans being tremendously hurt by the deadly fire of the Texans. By dusk, the Texans had lost about sixty men killed or wounded against some 200
