majormadmax,
Some TX trivia. = The GONZALEZ FLAG was NOT even designed when the minor skirmish happened there.
Also, the original flag was made out of a piece of a silk ladies wedding lingerie.
(Despite some late 19th Century claims, the flag was NOT made out of ladies PANTIES either, as panties & bras had not yet been invented. = Panties & bras were invented by a seamstress in Paris France after 1850, who didn't like wearing corsets.)
The flag WAS flown by a group of volunteers at San Jacinto according to a couple of period diary accounts.
NOTE: The only "casualty" at Gonzalez was a TEXAS militiaman, who got his nose broken when his own horse reared up.
BTW, the "1824 TRI-COLOR" was NOT flown at the Alamo.
yours, satx
