Summary
The true jewels of this work for the student of Texas history are the multiple details that Filisola gives in making his verbose case against General Urrea. There are several quotes from the diary of Col. Francisco Garay, a member of Urrea's staff. There are fascinating details regarding the actions at Agua Dulce, Refugio, Coleto Creek, and the entire retreat of the Mexican army after San Jacinto. There are descriptions of Goliad, Victoria, and Madam Powell's. Filisola gives interesting comments on the Deleons, Phillip Dimmitt, Jose Maria Carbajal, and indirectly discusses Carlos de la Garza and his Guardias Victorianas. There is mention of Capt. Telesforo Alavez, the husband/partner of Francita Alavez, the Angel of Goliad.
