Slaughter at Goliad

Here’s a book I want to read: "Slaughter at Goliad: The Mexican Massacre of 400 Texas Volunteers." JD at Brazosmouth says it breaks no new ground on the 1836 travesty but still is a good ‘un. We drive through Goliad, and past the 1936 1938 memorial (also their burying ground) to Fannin and his murdered men, every year on the way to the beach and back again. Sometimes we stop and read the historical marker. The atrocity is not well known outside of Texas, and, for that matter, not even inside Texas these days, but this book may help remedy that. I hope so. They deserve to be remembered.
