Mostly they talked about the three bigies there Travis, Bowie and Crockett. I do believe they may have covered Juan Seguin but he didn't die there so he wouldn't be one of nine they want listed. Mostly they talked about why the battle happened, how they got traped there and how the brutal take no prisoner approach of Santa Anna was used to build support for the revolt.

I'm assuming Art. 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli 1797 is banned from Texan history lessons, then?

calling Zavala a city is a bit of a stretch don't you think?

Seguin's a city, or at least town; Zavala is a county.

Zavalla is a town as well and city is a bit of stretch for Seguin
