The same desertion has taken place in Goliad, Velasco, Nacogdoches, and other towns, which were formerly occupied by Mexican families.
Burnett was elected Governor, and Houston felt that he could now give his whole attention to military affairs. The seat of Government was removed to Harrisburg, a small place on the Buffalo Bayou; and Houston was sure that this change would cause Santa Anna to diverge from his route to Nacogdoches.
"Because, Antonia, I would have Texas go free into a union of free States. This was the hope of Houston. 'We can have help, he often said to his little army; 'a word will call help from Nacogdoches, but we will emancipate ourselves. "And through thee I believe In the noble and great, who are gone."

The lower trail was the one running through San Felipe, Gonzales, and San Antonio, and this could very properly be termed the main highway of Texas.
