“Texas is a 1970s educational film series produced by KHOU-TV. “The Runaway Scrape,” hosted by revered Houston newsman Ron Stone, focuses on the Texas Revolution. This segment discusses the Battle of San Jacinto. The battle is reenacted by actors in traditional cloths, uniforms, and arms, which illustrates the Texan army’s camp, members, and attacks on Mexico’s army, led by Antonio López de Santa Anna. Stone states that after preliminary attacks with the historic cannon pair, the Twin Sisters, General Sam Houston of the Texan army executed the order for ambush on April 21, 1836. The order kicked off the battle, which turned into the shortest, and bloodiest, battle of the Texas Revolution. Although the Texan army was heavily outnumbered, the battle ended in heavy favor for the Texans, suffering few casualties. The Mexican army, however, had heavy losses estimated close to one thousand. The battle led to the end of the Texas Revolution and the formation of the Republic of Texas in 1836. Sam Houston later became the first elected president of the new republic. • Watch and share the full video at https://bit.ly/2B88wJp. • Contributed to Texas Film Commission's Texas Moving Image Archive Program by the San Antonio Public Library. • #texashistory #battleofsanjacinto
