  abstract: Drawing from over a dozen first-hand accounts, the author extracts this exciting narrative recounting in compelling detail the pathos of these fighting men, from the blood-soaked battlefields of Mier and the subsequent surrender to their harrowing 1,300-mile forced march to Perote Prison. It was a march of attrition during which many Texans were executed or died from exposure, disease or starvation. Once in Perote, they were forced to sleep on stone floors in chains and put to hard labor. Of the original three-hundred-and-eight members of the rogue expedition who survived, only half eventually left the prison alive. After two years in captivity, the prisoners were finally released only to be ignored and forgotten by their own countrymen upon their return home.
