I'm park Ranger at San Jacinto battleground, and Presidio La Bahia is my favorite place, its been blessed 50 years TCR.

We visited here in 2015. It was well worth the visit. One thing that surprised me, we visited in July, obviously hot, but we noticed how cool it was inside the walls, the way it captures the breeze. It sure explained how our ancestors survived. Fascinating place!

This is a GREAT video of what I call "Texas' Best Kept Secret", I love this and it is so well done! Thanks to Bob Phillips, Scott and all the rest. Kurt House, Mission Sin Caja, Three Rivers, TX

Best one so far this year . Thank you for showing this I am looking forward to returning again

I miss living in Texas😢

Texas misses you!

Thank you for sharing 🏆🤗🙏🇺🇲

Met three brothers, descendants of the angel, in 2012 while touring the first time.

Being a native Texan myself, this video reminded me of our heritage, and the people who sacrificed to make things possible. My first experience there was a field trip for Texas history class, um, 1974, maybe? And I've gone back there many times, the state park on the river is beautiful and full of history.

Native Texan? What tribe are you a member of? Only thing your native to is Europe..not Texas. Cut the shit..

Being a south texan resident presido la Bahia has a place in my heart. I used go to reenactments with my dad

It would be nice if they'd put a statue up for a great ancestral descendant of mine, Don Carlos de la Garza. Just like the angel of la Bahia. He saved several lives, if it wasn't for his request to spare several of these men, many more men would have died. It's well known, and in several historical texts that include Hobart Huson's "History of Refugio." He's legend amongst many of the people and his efforts are still given gratitude by many of the surviving members families. All you have to do is look him up on the internet. It's a pity he's not recognized for this heroic effort on his part...

On The Alamo 2004 at the end when they’re at San Jacinto you can hear a Texian shout “For Goliad!” as he runs in on the Mexican camp.

During TDCJ School Beeville, TX.Did VISIT Goliath 🙏 Love History OF TEXAS [+ALL STATES] .....

Oh how I wish we were The Republic of Texas again..

So evil. A fallen world indeed.

Remember Goliad. The Spanish built the missions around tribes who were being attacked by the Navaho. but sad to say the white man diseases caused the natives to die off and it was a sad fact that no one knew what germs were so no one knew why? Before white men came, the spanish built the forts for that very reason. to convert and protect the natives from the fearsome Navaho and the Comanchie.

​@@jimkennedy7050 The Spanish are European. A lot came to Tejas, Mexico and other parts of the world. Many mixed with natives and then their children got the beautiful brown and olive skin 😊. There are also the Canary Islanders, that arrived in Tejas, Louisiana, etc. whom are considered Spaniards. Many had olive and tanned skin like you imagined.

Is there a list of families that lived and were born in the Presidio?

I been in Texas for 17 years and used to loved going to San Diego CA and visit the presidio out there. Will be making plans to visit and hopefully spend the night at presidio La Bahia. I love history. Thanks for the video.
