Presidio La Bahia (Texas Country Reporter)

[@randygraf2474]

I'm park Ranger at San Jacinto battleground, and Presidio La Bahia is my favorite place, its been blessed 50 years TCR.

We visited here in 2015. It was well worth the visit. One thing that surprised me, we visited in July, obviously hot, but we noticed how cool it was inside the walls, the way it captures the breeze. It sure explained how our ancestors survived. Fascinating place!

It would be nice if they'd put a statue up for a great ancestral descendant of mine, Don Carlos de la Garza. Just like the angel of la Bahia. He saved several lives, if it wasn't for his request to spare several of these men, many more men would have died. It's well known, and in several historical texts that include Hobart Huson's "History of Refugio." He's legend amongst many of the people and his efforts are still given gratitude by many of the surviving members families. All you have to do is look him up on the internet. It's a pity he's not recognized for this heroic effort on his part...

Being a native Texan myself, this video reminded me of our heritage, and the people who sacrificed to make things possible. My first experience there was a field trip for Texas history class, um, 1974, maybe? And I've gone back there many times, the state park on the river is beautiful and full of history.

Native Texan? What tribe are you a member of? Only thing your native to is Europe..not Texas. Cut the shit..

On The Alamo 2004 at the end when they’re at San Jacinto you can hear a Texian shout “For Goliad!” as he runs in on the Mexican camp.

In reality, there's no such thing as "cowboys", these are just a shameless copy of the original Mexican Vaqueros but the Americans stole this piece of culture because they have none of their own (their biggest original holiday is called "Thanksgiving" and consists of eating turkey and sometimes supposedly commemorate the Indians that helped the American colonizers survive before the Americans committed genocide against them). Thus, the only true 'cowboys' are by definition MEXICAN and are called VAQUEROS and 'cowboys' belong to MEXICO.

Remember Goliad. The Spanish built the missions around tribes who were being attacked by the Navaho. but sad to say the white man diseases caused the natives to die off and it was a sad fact that no one knew what germs were so no one knew why? Before white men came, the spanish built the forts for that very reason. to convert and protect the natives from the fearsome Navaho and the Comanchie.

[@thatguyinelnorte]

"Before white men came, the spanish built the forts..." Dude... The Spanish were the first "white men" in Texas...

[@jimkennedy7050]

@@thatguyinelnorte sorry, thought the spanish were olive or brown. my mistake

[@sanchezfamily5567]

​@@jimkennedy7050 The Spanish are European. A lot came to Tejas, Mexico and other parts of the world. Many mixed with natives and then their children got the beautiful brown and olive skin 😊. There are also the Canary Islanders, that arrived in Tejas, Louisiana, etc. whom are considered Spaniards. Many had olive and tanned skin like you imagined.

[@almaguevara8013]

Is there a list of families that lived and were born in the Presidio?
