EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the mid-19th century transports us back to a crucial moment in Texas history. The image depicts Sam Houston, an influential figure in the fight for Texan independence, dictating orders to Colonel George Washington Hockley. It is March 1836, and Houston is instructing Hockley to dispatch Stephen Austin on a mission to locate much-needed artillery after the Battle of the Alamo. The scene unfolds within a rustic cabin interior, with Houston seated near a warm fireplace as he pens his directives. His commanding presence is evident as he leans forward, passionately conveying his instructions. Colonel Hockley attentively listens and prepares himself to carry out these vital orders. The significance of this moment cannot be overstated. Following their devastating defeat at the Alamo, Texan forces were regrouping and strategizing their next move against Mexican troops led by General Santa Anna. In this critical juncture, Houston's leadership was instrumental in rallying his men and ensuring they had the necessary resources for future battles. This historical print serves as a testament to both Sam Houston's pivotal role in shaping Texas' destiny and the courage exhibited by those who fought for Texan independence during this tumultuous period known as the Texas Revolution.
