Lt. Colonel Sidney Sherman Rides into battle and shouts encouragement to his Texan volunteers as they charge into the Mexican army camp of Santa Anna at the battle of San Jacinto, Texas, April 21st 1836. The Army was commanded by General Sam Houston, who can be seen on the far left. In the foreground Frank Hardin leads his men of the 2nd Texan Volunteer Regiment into the melee. In March of the same year Santa Anna had captured the Alamo from the Texians and killed all enemy combatants including the famous David (Davy) Crockett, He then went on to murder 300 prisoners of war captured from La Bahia, at Goliad. So, as the Texan soldiers ran into the fight at The Battle of San Jacinto they shouted "Remember the Alamo, Remember Goliad!" The swift victory led to a violent slaughter, as Houston's irregulars exacted brutal revenge on the fleeing Mexicans after the fight.

REMEMBER THE ALAMO, REMEMBER GOLIAD!
Immortalizing the historic make-or-break charge of nine hundred ragged Texan militiamen against two thousand professional Mexican soldiers in April 21, 1836, Remember the Alamo depicts Lt. Frank Hardin leading his men against Mexican Gen Cos, with Gen. Sam Houston and Gen. Burlson, Regimental Commander, in the background.
Frank Hardin came to Texas in 1826, and moved to Liberty Texas with his six siblings. As a loyal Mexican citizen he only joined the rebel Texans at the fall of 1835. His local citizens elected him and officer and he went to San Antonio to fight the Mexicans in the last major engagement of the year. Hardin had accepted Gen. Cos' surrender at the first battle of the Alamo on December 8, 1835 when a group of Texans ejected the Mexican garrison from Texas. The Mexicans swore to never return to Texas again; Hardin even exchanged food for the journey back to Mexico for a pair of Cos' silver candle sticks.
Hardin's brother, Augustine Blackburn, signed the Texas Declaration of Independence at Washington on the Brazos on March 2, 1836. The newly formed Texas Congress then fled in the wake of a powerful Mexican Army after its successful defeat of a small Texas Garrison at the Alamo in San Antonio. The Mexicans massacred the main five hundred man Texas Army after their surrender at Goliad in cold blood leaving only Gen Sam Houston and his nine hundred men as Texas' only, last, and feeble hope. The Texans, on the run with little food or rest for several weeks avoided confronting Santa Anna's numerically superior army of 10,000 waiting for the right time to attack. Houston chose to attack the Mexicans after the set up camp close to the Texans after an all night march. As the Mexicans dozed in the early afternoon, Houston began his attack getting his entire force within small arms range, 100 yards or so, before the Texas Band began to play, alerting the Mexicans to their presence. Before the Texans could respond, they entered the Mexican Camp and routed its newly awoken occupants. The Texans achieved an incredible victory despite facing a numerical disadvantage of 20 to 1 in Texas and 4 to 1 on the field of San Jacinto the Texans defeated the Mexicans killing 630, capturing 730, and capturing their president, Santa Anna at the cost of only 9 Texas dead and 30 Texas wounded. Their victory paved the way for ten years of Texas independence before it finally joined the union in 1846.
The main combatant in the painting, Frank Hardin became enraged when he encountered Cos for the second time on the field of battle as his prisoner. Despite Cos' dishonorable behavior, Hardin acted as the jail keeper for the Mexicans captured at San Jacinto at his farm in Liberty, Texas earning rave reviews from his prisoners for generous and kind treatment.
