- To the desk of Queen Vick from Duchess Hope
- I shall travel to Washington D.C. to find men, money, and supplies.
- The year 1811!
- But when shall you leave?
- And so Gutiérrez de Lara rode his horse to Washington D.C..
- At Washington D.C. Gutiérrez de Lara told the American leader of his plans to free Texas from Spanish rule.
- You should go to New Orleans, they have all you need and want there.
- Upon his arrival, Gutiérrez de Lara receieved all he asked for.
- Soon he had convinced a young American officer to join his army. Lieutenant Augustus Magee, a West Point graduate, resigned from the U.S. Army and joined Gutiérrez de Lara’s Texas expedition.
- By August 1812 the Gutiérrez–Magee Expedition had an army with an impressive-sounding name, the Republican Army of the North.
- 1812, Augest
- The Republican Army crossed the Sabine River into Texas and captured Nacogdoches without difficulty. Then the army marched to Goliad, gathering new volunteers along the way.
- The Republican Army captured Goliad in early November. A large Spanish force surrounded Goliad.
- Magee
- When Magee died suddenly, another American, Samuel Kemper, took command of the troops.
- By February 1813 the Spanish forces had suffered ultimately heavy losses. They gave up the siege and retreated to San Antonio. Kemper’s forces chased the Spanish troops and defeated them in battle in late March.
- Spanish officials at San Antonio surrendered the city to Republican forces. Then the victorious leaders issued a declaration of independence for Texas.
