 I went into a Battle today. Turns out these Texans 

stole our cannon. So we went to go ask for it, 

"nicely", but they refused.

 Settlers Buried the cannon and sent for 

reinforcements. Well, at least that is what my DEAD 

friend told me before the battle. We explored to see 

if we could get to the cannon, but the ferry ropes 

were cut! I swear I'm going to kill these muchachos.

 We were getting attacked, but I could see... the 

cannon! I also saw a flag and it said, "COME AND TAKE 

IT"

 Well that's not a good sign. So, we ended up 

withdrawing to San Antonio. There was no turning back 

now. The war had begun. I told them I went to the 

bathroom just to write this letter. I should go now.

-Spartnanian P. Poul 

October 2,   1835

 We are low on food, supplies, safety. It's hard to 

live these days. We lost a guy a few hours ago. Maybe 

days ago, I don't count. He just ran off to see if he 

could do anything with the Texans. He's probably 

jailed by now, but that's not our business anyways. 

He's a casualty.

 PPPPPPPPPEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeWWWWWWWwwwwwwwSSSShhhh! Is 

all we heard. The texans were here to attack! We 

ended up losing too many men. We can't risk losing 

more, so we decided to just surrender and go back to 

Mexico.

 I don't like Santa Anna, but obviously he had to get 

into this mess and ruin everything, so we are getting 

prepared to fight some Texans. At this point I'm sure 

we are going to lose.

 We'll see if I make it back to make another letter. 

Porfavor Alludame God.

November 26, 1835

                   DAY 1

 Santa Anna has decided we are going to attack the 

Texans at the Alamo in San Antonio.

                   DAY 4

 I just saw a man blow off some ones brain off! What 

was his name again? William B. Travis? Something like 

that. Well, we have lost about 20 people over the 

last few days.

                   DAY 46

 We are really close to defeating these Texans! Dios 

Mio! I think we might have a chance on winning this!

            LAST DAY: MARCH 6, 1836

 Santa Anna rose up a flag with blood on it. I 

believe that means that we are going top kill them 

all! Let's just say we already won! I did almost get 

killed today, but oh well it doesn't matter. We won! 

Just as I reloaded my pistol one came out and 

shouted, "WE WON!" Well I go now to party! 

 We'll see what other craziness we get into next 

time! Bye!

 Today something interesting happened. I was walking home and 

I found a newspaper on the ground. I read some very 

interesting facts.

 Lorenzo de Zavala had sured in the Mexican congress and 58 

more people. Gorge C. Childress chaired the commitee in 

charge of drafting the document declaring independence. And 

turns out, wrote most of the declaration and used the U.S's 

Declaration as a template.

 The delegates used the U.S constitution as a model & they 

created a government with 3 branches. The legislative branch, 

in which makes the laws. They are carried out by the 

executive branch. And then the judicial branch provides court 

system. So then since the Texas was still at war, the 

delegates created an ad-internim. David G. Burret was 

selected president and Lorenzo was vice president.

 I'm gonna head out now, bye!

March 3, 1836

Few days ago I was heading towards the Town of Gonzales 

and battle. Well, not me by my self. I had Santa Anna and 

699 other men with me.

 It was a long journey, but it just seemed like we lost people 

per minute. Meh, no me importa.

 Once we were there, everything was burning down. Some 

one said, "Maybe they knew we were coming. The burned 

this place down to burn the supplies for us not to have access 

to it!"

 After that day, I saw a newspaper stating how a slave 

described what was happening. Many people died of diseases 

and hardships auring this event... Santa Anna... Geez.

 We were in Victoria. We fought over 500 Texan 

soldiers! It's terrible, I don't want to go through this! 

Come on Santa Anna, we already lost. By the end of the 

day we had captured over 400 soldiers.

 General Urrea captured James Fannin! Wow, we might 

have a chance!

 As you know, I don't like Santa Anna. He said for us to 

kill all the soldiers! When it was Fannin's turn, he asked 

for three simple wishes... We just killed him... Didn't do 

his wishes. That's it. I'm going to the Texan side. 

Mexicans are just some cruel monsters!

 I snuck out and I ended up following a girl. She was 

helping some Soldiers get away. Her name was Francita 

Alavez. I deserved better than the Mexicans. Thank god 

for letting me have another chance to be in the Texan 

side.

As you may know, I am on the Texan side now. Sam 

Houston accepted me because I helped the Texan. We 

have exciting news! Just so you know, don't forget 

this battle cry, "Remember The Alamo. Remember The 

Goliad"

 We snuck up on the Mexicans in the middle of the 

night. We screamed our battle cry as we shot them! We 

were in a huge battle and General Houston was not to 

be seen! The following day, he returned and was 

with... Santa Anna? 

 They put him in a room to talk and they were the 

there for nearly two hours! Next thing I know, is we 

got the independence! 

 Texas has officially become independent and we are 

free from mexicans! No more battle! No more death! No 

more... journal entries....
