Goliad Heroes Day [March 27, 1836]
Following the fall of the Alamo, the Mexican Army, under the command
of General Santa Anna, attacked Colonel James W. Fannin’s men at
Goliad. Fannin was forced to surrender. On March 27, 1836, 320
prisoners were executed, the largest loss of life in the cause of
Texas independence. “Remember Goliad!” became one of the great
battle cries at San Jacinto.
