Heros of the Texas Revolution

Below is a list of some of the soldiers who participated in one of the major military engagements of the Texas Revolution.

They include Austin, Crockett, Bowie, Burleson, Fannin, Houston, Lamar, Milam, and Travis–to name only a few. But the list also includes well over one thousand other heroes, perhaps less known, that were just as vital in gaining Texas’ independence.
