What Really Happened After the Battle of San Jacinto?

The story goes that the Mexican Army was defeated at the Battle of San Jacinto. This is true for the army led by Santa Anna, but what about the other 4,000 soldiers? Were they defeated by the Texian Army, or something else? Gregg Dimmick, author of the Sea of Mud, joins the podcast to tell a part of the Texas Revolution you probably have never heard before.
Dr. Dimmick explains how the two powerful Mexican generals - Urrea and Filisola - had planned to ignore Santa Anna's orders and attack the Texas army. Their numbers possibly would have overwhelmed the Texan soldiers, but nature intervened. Find out how the Mexican armies survived the hellacious trip back to Matamoros, and what became of the generals after the trip.

Having a witness's account from the Mexican side during San Jacinto, Alamo and the Siege of Bexar is actually priceless. The more information gathered from both sides sheds light on these battles as a whole. Cheers! Great details and interview

Just a little advice don’t take so long to get to the actual interesting points and finds so your podcasts don’t end up being boring

[@EndingSimple]

This is just what I wanted to see. I'd seen a youtube on the Goliade massacre. Then I caught another youtube about San Jacinto. And I realized Houston had only dealt with the part of the Mexican army that was about the size of his own army. And I was wondering, why didn't the other Mexican armies just combine and wipe out Huston once and for all. I didn't think they would simply retreat because a captured general said so. So now I know the answer. The Sea of Mud. Seems to me like the Hand of God saved Texas in the end.

Amazing thank you....I do have one question where did Santa cross the rio grande on his way to the Alamo?

[@TheSonsofHistory]

He crossed over at Paso de Francia (the Frenchman's Pass). It lies about six miles downriver from the Mexican border town of Guerrero. Thanks for the question, Sergio!

[@sergiojasso5]
