Marker Text: ​These men constituted the Texians only line of defense in this hour of destiny, by advising Alcalde Andrew Ponton the 18 delayed for 2 days 150 Mexican dragoons sent by their government to demand the Gonzales Cannon.
        It was the strategy  of these men that allowed time for colonists to mass volunteers that drove back the enemy in the Battle of Gonzales. At this battle was given to the world a new battle flag and a new war cry " Come and take it" and was started the successful Texian Revolution against the Mexican government.
