Episode 76: The Goliad Massacre
Three weeks after the stunning defeat at the Alamo, the Texas revolutionaries suffered another gut-wrenching loss. On this day 189 years ago – March 27, 1836 – hundreds of Texas soldiers were executed, in what would become known as the Goliad Massacre.
We reveal the unease Mexican leaders felt before carrying out Santa Anna’s execution orders, the heartbreaking hope the Texans felt right up until their deaths, and how “Remember Goliad” became forever linked to the battle cry, “Remember The Alamo.” Featuring Presidio la Bahía director and historian Scott McMahon.
