Battle of San Jacinto

The inscription on the base of the San Jacinto Monument reads: "Measured by its results, San Jacinto was one of the decisive battles of the world. The freedom of Texas from Mexico won here led to annexation and to the Mexican War, resulting in the acquisition by the United States of the states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, Utah, and parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Almost one-third of the American nation . . . changed hands".Pohl, James W. is the author of 'Battle of San Jacinto' with ISBN 9780876110843 and ISBN 0876110847.
