Frontier Forts of Iowa: Indians, Traders, and Soldiers, 1682-1862
An in-depth look at the withdrawal of the Mexican army after their vanguard divisions were defeated at San Jacinto. At times it devolves into a he said, she said argument, but only because the primary sources available are just that: Filisola and Urrea arguing back and forth over how and why things really happened and who was to blame. The author does a good job of remaining unbiased in presenting both sides of the argument and trying to get to the truth of the matter. This is an event that doesn't get taught in schools (not even in Texas, where we're required to take Texas History class in middle school!) and I was pleased to finally discover what happened between "The Texians won at San Jacinto" and "Texas won its independence". If Texas history or even just military history interests you, you will enjoy this look at how an army can be defeated in the field not just by an opposing force, but also by the forces of nature.
