About Grass Fight in brief
The Grass Fight was a small battle during the Texas Revolution, fought between the Mexican Army and the Texian Army. It took place on November 26, 1835, just south of San Antonio de Béxar in the Mexican region of Texas. Texian scout Deaf Smith brought news of a Mexican pack train, accompanied by 50–100 soldiers, that was on its way to Bexar. The Texian camp was convinced that the pack train carried silver to pay the Mexican garrison and purchase supplies. When the Texians examined the abandoned pack train they discovered that, instead of silver, the mules carried freshly cut grass to feed the Mexican army horses. Four Texians were injured, and historian Alwyn Barr states that three Mexican soldiers were killed, although Bowie and Burleson initially claimed the number was much higher.
The Mexican forces counterattacked but were repulsed but were eventually forced to retreat to town. In BéXar, General Martín Perfecto de Cos saw the battle begin and sent 50 infantry to provide cover to theTexian infantry and rushed toward the battlefield during a lull in the battle. The lack of noise made it difficult for them to ascertain where the Mexican troops were, and theTexians were surprised to find themselves firing between the cavalry and infantry, and were able to scramble to cover the nearest Texian cavalry as those cavalrymen fled the nearest Mexican infantry was able to join their scramble to their ground. The battle ended when the Texia infantry dropped the Mexican cavalrymen and dropped the ground to the ground.
