Battle of Velasco

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Battle of Velasco, fought June 25–26, 1832, was the first true military conflict between Mexican troops and settlers in Mexican Texas. The battle was fought on June 26, 1832 between rebelling Texas colonists and Mexico before the Texas Revolution. The Mexican commander during the conflict, Domingo de Ugartechea, tried to stop the Texians from transporting a cannon up the Brazos River to attack the city of Anahuac. The Texians were led by Brazoria alcalde, John Austin. The Texian militia eventually prevailed over the greatly outnumbered Mexicans. Ugartechea surrendered after a three day battle, once he realized he would not be receiving reinforcements, and his soldiers had run out of ammunition. Approximately 5 Mexican troops and 7 Texians were killed, with about 30 wounded in total. Ugartechea and his men were allowed to return to Mexico with their personal arms, although the Mexican cannon were left with the Texians.
