“According to Texas legend, in 1836, when Sam Houston, master of the strategic retreat,
The Raven
and the Texan Army finally allowed Santa Anna and the Mexicans to catch up with them, the Texans waded into the sleeping Mexicans at San Jacinto, yelling, “Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!” while filleting Mexicans left and right with their bayonets.

“All the stuff I report in this book happened. I didn’t make up any of it.”
“Me no Alamo.”
