To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was but a rout and a pursuit. Many of the Texans flung aside their guns after the first fire, grasped their swords and their daggers, and began an indiscriminate massacre.
"Meantime, " continues Mr. Lester, "although Houston's wound was bleeding profusely, and his dying horse could scarce stagger his way over the slain, yet the commander-in-chief saw every move- ment of his army, and followed the tide of battle as it rolled over the field. Wherever his eye fell he saw the Mexicans staggering... back under the resistless shock of his heroic soldiers. Regiments and battal- ions, cavalry and infantry, horses and men, were hurled together ; and every officer and every man seemed to be bent on a work of slaughter for himself.
" The Mexican army had now been driven from their position, and were flying before their pursuers. Houston saw that the battle was won, and he rode over the field and gave his orders to stop the carnage if the enemy would surrender. But he had given "the Alamo for their war-cry, and the magic word could not be recalled.
