San Jacinto Day!
Today marks the 166th anniversary of the Battle of San Jacinto. If you've seen The Alamo, then you would recognize San Jacinto as the brief battle at the end.
Sam Houston led the Texas army to victory on April 21, 1836, losing fewer than ten men in the 18-minute battle. In the aftermath, Texas soldiers captured Santa Anna, who later agreed to the treaty that established Texas as its own free Republic.
