LARGE ~ Gonzales Flag

The Mexicans loaned the Texans in Gonzales a cannon to keep the Indians away, but then thought better of the idea and asked for the cannon back.  As the request was politely denied and 200 Mexican soldiers were sent to demand the cannon.  Gonzales was fortified and all who lived west of the Guadalupe as the first shots for the War of Independence were fired on by the Texas settlers at the Battle of Gonzales in October 2nd, 1835.
