For the first day of our visit to Goliad, Texas, we got set-up at the state park, grabbed a bite at the Empresario Restaurant, toured the Markethouse Museum, visited the memorials to Ignazio Zaragoza, the Angel of Goliad, and the Goliad Massacre victims. Then we spent the night at an old (and haunted?) Spanish colonial-era fort, Presidio la Bahia.

Family oral history always had William Quinn, my 3rd great grand uncle, as having been killed at the Goliad Massacre. Through research, I found out that he was not killed in the Massacre but, during the Battle of Coleto Creek on the previous day. Somehow. I felt better about that!
This comes out on Most terrifying places in America
185 years ago today, on March 27, 1836, approximately 450 Texian soldiers were murdered by Mexican firing squads after having surrendered days earlier. Remember the Goliad Massacre! And NEVER, EVER, EVER, SURRENDER.
God bless A L L of our Texas Independence heroes.🇺🇲

My spanish ancestor last name was palafox who fought the french at the battle of zaragosa as the general. Poncho villas main officer according to utube was named palafox who executed by pershing immediately. Who was santa anas ancestor he even is not so popular in mexico.
What about the “famous” Hanging Tree of Goliad?
I felt bad as a Texan not knowing much about this unlike the Alamo which is my thing haha very educational video
Don't feel bad! The history curriculum gives Goliad about a paragraph, and the Alamo gets a lot more attention. Thanks for watching!
@@TexasEscapist And the Alamo got a movie.
Great video
Thanks! We head a good time at Presidio La Bahia.
Yes I live here right by the presidio
All this history brings tears of happiness to my eyes. I will never forget where my family comes from. God bless live a peaceful life and prosper. My family are friends and my friends are my family.
