This newspaper contains a 3/4 column long an detailed \"first report\" of the BATTLE of SAN JACINTO, the seminal and decisive battle of the TEXAS WAR of INDEPENDENCE.

Not only is this a unique FLORIDA TERRITORIAL newspaper, it also has a great \"first report\" of the battle that won the TEXAS REVOLUTION and freed Texas from Mexican control.

The Battle of San Jacinto, fought on April 21, 1836, in present-day Harris County, Texas, was the decisive battle of the Texas Revolution. Led by General Sam Houston, the Texian Army engaged and defeated General Antonio López de Santa Anna\'s Mexican army in a fight that lasted just 18 minutes. About 630 of the Mexican soldiers were killed and 730 captured, while only nine Texans died.

Santa Anna, the President of Mexico, was captured the following day and held as a prisoner of war. Three weeks later, he signed the peace treaty that dictated that the Mexican army leave the region, paving the way for the Republic of Texas to become an independent country. These treaties did not specifically recognize Texas as a sovereign nation, but stipulated that Santa Anna was to lobby for such recognition in Mexico City. Sam Houston became a national celebrity, and the Texans\' rallying cries, \"Remember the Alamo!\" and \"Remember Goliad!\" became etched into Texas history and legend.
