Juan Seguin and his men provided the rear guard for Sam Houston’s army during the Runaway Scrape. When he arrived at San Jacinto, however, he learned his company of soldiers had been assigned to guard the camp while others were to fight the decisive battle on April 21.
“Seguin protested vigorously that no one in Texas had suffered more from Santa Anna than they, no one had a greater stake in the outcome, and indeed, they had no homes to go to unless the dictator was defeated,” historian Haley wrote. Houston agreed. “The Tejanos took their place in the line, with scraps of cardboard in their headbands to identify them as Texans.””*
