Manuscript DS, one page, 8 x 4.25, February 14, 1836. Document regarding the stay of four soldiers at the home of Peter Kinsey. In part: “For boarding 4 enlisted soldiers under the orders and contract of Lieut. R. L. Saunders—viz: W. H. Mann—John Cross, William Harris & O. G. Eels…inclusive being two weeks and one day at 3 Drs: per week each…$25.71.” In fine condition, with scattered light toning and soiling, intersecting folds, and a couple small spots of restoration to a few holes on reverse.
The Texans were imprisoned by the Mexicans at Goliad and executed by order of Gen. Antonio López de Santa Anna on March 27, 1836. Privates William H. Mann, John Cross, William Harris, and Otis G. Eels were among the executed. The Goliad Massacre and the fall of the Alamo branded both Santa Anna and the Mexican people with a reputation for cruelty and aroused the fury of the people of Texas, the United States, and even Great Britain and France, thus considerably promoting the success of the Texas Revolution.
