On the 21st. todays anniversary. though. Houston was ready to strike. With the Mexican Army still in its camp. Houston gave the order to advance. and the Texans did not hesitate. I say "Texans." Mr. Speaker. because that force was made up of a lot of new immigrants to Texas from the United States. Texas has always been an immigrant State. When within 70 yards the word "fire" was given. the Texan shouts of "Remember the Alamo" and "Remember Goliad" rang along the entire line. Within a short time 700 Mexican soldiers were slain. with another 730 taken as prisoners.
