Fredonia?

Whats with the fredonia reference? (see timeline in 1826 square) that's marxist! (unsigned)

HaHa. Apparently it really did occur. See Fredonian Rebellion. Does Anyone know if the writers of Duck Soup (where it is spelled "Freedonia") knew about the historical original? CFLeon (talk) 03:18, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Should be Texan, not Texas, Revolution

It's not the America Revolution, the France Revolution, or the Glory Revolution. See discussion at Texan Revolution. -LlywelynII (talk) 13:50, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gaona's Brigade from Bastrop to San Felipe

I made a change on the date of Gaona's departure from Bastrop (Mina)-- from April 15 to April 5. I am well aware of the lack of specifics available to researchers, but three facts place the date at or near April 5.

1) Noah Smithwick's account of his time with Tumlinson' Rangers in Evolution of a State states that the Rangers witnessed Gaona's Brigade arrive at the Colorado, and then that company of Rangers immediately heads from Bastrop toward the Brazos, arriving on the outskirts of Washington on the Brazos on the night of the full moon, which was April 1st. So we know that Gaona arrived across from Bastrop/Mina on or about March 27.

2) Jose Urrea's Diary states that Gaona had been delayed (for nefarious reasons) in Bastrop for eight days, so we know that after at least one day to cross the river, the occupation lasted eight days, which takes us to approximately the 5th of April.

3) Santa Anna, departs San Felipe frustrated by Gaona's failure to appear, referring to Gaona's Brigade as "lost in the desert;" and Filisola remarks that Gaona arrived in San Felipe on April 17.

Given the weather and lack of available routes for a fully equipped Brigade, an eleven or twelve day march is about right-- whereas a two day march (the April 15 date) is impossible.

From a April 7 dispatch from Rusk and Houston to Major Williamson, we know that, out of Washington on the Brazos, Ranger scouts had captured at least two Mexican scouts on April 6, suggesting that Gaona's Brigade probably continued on the San Antonio Road to the Brazos and then picked its way down the right bank of the river toward San Felipe. At the expected 12 miles per day march, that is, at best, a ten day journey.--cregil (talk) 13:48, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
