Don Gray and I seem to have made a mistake. "The Grass Fight", it turns out, was actually fought in this day, the 26th of November, 1835. I apologize for this error.) Nov 26, 1835 - Bowie leads Texians in the Grass Fight. Texian scout Deaf Smith brought news of a Mexican pack train, accompanied by 50–100 soldiers, that was on its way to Béxar. The Texian camp was convinced that the pack train carried silver to pay the Mexican garrison and purchase supplies. Edward Burleson ordered Colonel James Bowie to take 45–50 cavalry, commanded by Burleson’s father, Captain James Burleson, and intercept the train. The battle was fought between the Mexican Army and the Texian Army, and took place just south of San Antonio de Béxar in the Mexican region of Texas. The Texas Revolution had officially begun on October 2, 1835, and by the end of the month the Texian had initiated a siege of Béxar, home of the largest Mexican garrison in the province. Bored with the inactivity, many of the Texian soldiers returned home; a smaller number of adventurers from the United States arrived to replace them. Four Texians were wounded in the fighting, and one soldier deserted during the battle. In his reports, Burleson claimed that 15 Mexican soldiers had been killed and 7 wounded, while Bowie claimed that 60 Mexican soldiers had been killed. Burleson praised all of his officers for their conduct, although Bowie received the most mention. An interesting side note: The Texians captured 40 horses and mules. To their surprise, the saddlebags did not contain bullion. Instead, the mules had been carrying freshly cut grass to feed the Mexican horses trapped in Béxar; this prize gave the battle its name. The Lone Star Republic -Don Gray, reporting from San Antonio de Bexar, Texas, November 26, 1835 TEXIAN ARMY ATTACKS MEXICAN ARMY PACK TRAIN OUTSIDE OF BEXAR This morning Texian Army scout Erastus "Deaf" Smith rode into camp outside of Bexar to report that a pack train of mules and horses, accompanied by 50–100 Mexican soldiers, was within 5 miles of Bexar. For several days, the Texians have heard rumors that the Mexican Army was expecting a shipment of silver and gold to pay the Mexican troops and purchase additional supplies. The Texians have been fighting without pay, and most wanted to loot the expected riches. In response to Smith’s report, Commander-in-Chief Edward Burleson (recently replacing Stephen F. Austin) ordered Bowie to investigate and warned him not to attack unless necessary. After Bowie recruited the Army's 12 best marksmen for the expedition, there was little doubt that he intended to find a reason to attack. Burleson managed to stop the entire Texian Army from following by sending Colonel William Jack with 100 infantry to support Bowie's men. About 1 mile from Bexar this afternoon, Bowie and his men spotted the Mexican soldiers crossing a dry ravine. Following a short battle, the Mexican soldiers withdrew towards Bexar, leaving their pack animals behind. To the surprise of the Texians, the saddlebags contained not bullion, but freshly cut grass to feed the Mexican horses trapped in Bexar. Four Texians were wounded in the fighting, and one soldier deserted during the “grass fight”. Estimates of the number of Mexican casualties ranged from 3–60 killed and 7–14 wounded. The Texian victory allowed the Texians to believe that, although outnumbered, they can prevail over the Mexican garrison in a future attack. The Texians believe that Cos must have been desperate to send troops outside of the safety of Bexar. -Don Gray

Our world is fracturing along a moral fault line. Battle lines are being drawn between those with decency and heart and those who are consumed with racism, greed, and the lust for power.

The word genocide was created by Raphael Lemkin after World War II. Here is his definition. Read it and tell me it doesn’t describe what Israel is doing to the Palestinian people exactly.
