Talk:List of Texas Revolution battles

Nouns & Adjectives

Corrected "Texas Revolution" to "Texan Revolution" for grammatical reasons. Some sources may have poor grammar, but many don't, so it's unjustifiable here. It's not the America Revolution, the France Revolution, or the Glory Revolution. Ain't the Texas Revolution, neether. -LlywelynII (talk) 13:44, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

From a modern-Texan point-of-view, Gonzales is the beginning, as the table presently indicates. Yet, from an historical and global perspective, prior to Texas declaring Independence, the battles were between the Mexican Centralists and Federalists.

• The first battle was the Battle of Zacatecas taking place on the 10th and 11th of May, 1835.

• Next would be the Second Anahuac Disturbance in June of 1835.

• Also to be added would be the The Battle of Tampico on November 15, 1835.

Between the Battle of Coleto Creek and San Jacinto, there were skirmishes:

• at Beason's Crossing^a (March 21-23);
• at San Felipe de Austin's crossing (March 29);
• at Thompson's Crossing^b (April 12);
• the Yellowstone took fire on April 15 at Old Fort;
• and another skirmish near New Washington (April 20).
