At four o'clock one April afternoon 172 years ago, 934 men,
unwashed, underfed, caked with mud and dressed in rags, began a
slow walk through knee-high grass. A half hour later they crested a
low hill. What they did in the next eighteen minutes made our world
possible. These were the Soldiers of San Jacinto. Most historians
will tell you that the Battle of San Jacinto was fought by
newcomers from the United States who flooded across the border in
search of land and glory when they heard a fight was brewing. And
they are wrong. J. B. MacDonald did the all the footwork, gathering
bits of information from hundreds of sources, and proved that it
just wasn't so. And she did it in 1922 when you couldn't find out
much just sitting at your desk. She did it the old fashioned way,
compiling 877 biographical entries and hand typing over 1900
footnotes. It also includes the most concise account of the the
battle ever published, The Battle of San Jacinto in 900 Words,
complete with maps showing how the action evolved over those
eighteen minutes. It brings to battle to life in your mind's eye
and gives you a real understanding of exactly what happened.
