Texas State Library and Archives Commission: The Texas Navy: War With Mexico

Read about Santa Anna's retaliation after the siege of Bexar, and the battles on sea and on land that followed. This site's strength is its collection of primary texts from this period in Texas' history: "Broadside calling for all men to arms and all armed vessels to 'scour the Gulf,' March 2, 1836," "Commission of William Hurd, March 1836," "Act for the defense of the Texas sea coast, March 1836," and "Mexican attack on the crossings of the lower Brazos River, April 1836."
