Description
The Battle of Coleto Creek occurred just weeks after the fall of the Alamo. After the fall of the Alamo, the small Texan army under the command Colonel James Fannin were ordered to retreat from the town of Goliad TX. At the start of the retreat they were surrounded and attacked by the Mexican Army. After several days of battle, the remaining Texan troops were captures and imprisoned in the Presidio La BahÃa. On March 27, 1836, under the orders of Santa Anna, Fannin and about 340 other Texian prisoners were shot by Mexican soldiers. The execution became known as the Goliad Massacre. Every Year the city of Goliad holds a reenactment of this massacre.
