SAN JACINTO, birthplace of Texas liberty! ... San Jacinto, one of the world’s decisive battles! . . . San Jacinto, where, with cries of "Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!" Sam Houston and his ragged band of 910 pioneers routed Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, President and Dictator of Mexico and self-styled "Napoleon of the West," with his proud army, and changed the map of North America!
Here is a story that has thrilled Texans for more than a century ... a story of desperate valor and high adventure; of grim hardship, tragedy and romance ... the story of the epochal battle that established the independent Lone Star Republic, on April 21, 1836, and indelibly inscribed the names of Texas patriots on history's scroll of American immortals.
The above is quoted from http://www.tamu.edu/ccbn/dewitt/batsanjacinto.htm, which is a page that contains many details and stories about the battle of San Jacinto. It is very interesting reading.
This virtual cache has two elements to it, the first being the given coordinates. This will take you to the first of two markers. The second element is to go to a second set of coordinates, to a second marker, at N29 44.560 / W095 04.387. To claim a find, just e-mail me with what each marker designates. It's as simple as that.
This is a very significant site in Texas, United States, and World History. Please take your time and look around and imagine the struggle that was taking place here so long ago. Visit the San Jacinto monument and see the museum, slide show, and take your ride in the elevator to the top of the monument. It is well worth your time to do so.
Also remember to go across the road and visit the USS Texas and the submarine memorial.
