 With Santa Anna
in Texas:
A personal Narrative
of the Revolution
by Jose Enrique de la
Pena
Translated and edited
by Carmen Perry. New Introduction by James E Crisp. In 1995, historian James
E. Crisp discovered documents containing a final week's worth of entries
in the controversial diary of a Mexican officer. Even beyond the entrie's
horrifying description of the Mexican army's retreat after San Jacinto,
the documents themselves were revealing. Crisp's subsequent detective
work has brought to light the evidence for the diary's authenticity.
