Episode 75: The Battle Of Coleto Creek
With Texans reeling from the fall of the Alamo, the front lines of battle shift about 90 miles southeast of San Antonio to the town of Goliad. After two days of fighting, the Texas troops - under a leadership wracked with indecision - surrender.
We reveal how the Battle of Coleto Creek unfolded 189 years ago today, as the troops who tried to come to the aid of the Alamo now faced their own fight. Featuring the Alamo's Senior Curator, Historian & Lecturer Ernesto Rodriguez and Presido la Bahía Director & Historian Scott McMahon.
