Now, here's the facts of that altercation on October 2. 1835. Lt. Francisco Castaneda was sent to Gonzales with about 100 cavalry to retrieve the cannon that had been loaned to people of Gonzales. They refused to hand it over, and about 200 of them came out of a woodland, and shot at the Mexican cavalry. When Lt. Perez charged them with 40 dragoons, they fled backed into the woodland to hide and find safety. After some talks between them and the Mexicans, they fired once again at the Mexicans from the woodland. The point? Fable says that the rebels told the Mexicans to Come and Take it, the cannon. Well, the Mexicans did, but the insurgents fled into the woodland. A new flag s/be made like the one now, but at the bottom, it s/read: "We came, but you fled!"

Thought it was on the San Marcos, not the Guadalupe?
The San Marcus river actually runs right before you hit the city limits. It flew was too fast. No way on. Private property.

Well, if it is on RUclips it must be true! The Come and Take It cannon was bronze. That cannon is iron. Its still a great story. God Bless Texas.
