News of the execution and the earlier defeat at the Alamo gave rise to the blood-curdling cry “Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!” that was shouted as Sam Houston's forces swept to victory at San Jacinto. Presidio La Bahía, said to be the most contested fort in Texas history and located 1.5 miles south on US 183, re-enacts the battle of Coleto Creek every March.
