Friday, Oct. 2, 1835. Land O'Goshen! The battle is on! It is just past daybreak and the fog is thick in the woods and hovers over the river. We were awakened by the most awful shriek. Nothing can describe it. Then came the pop,pop,pop of rifles in the distance. Papa says the scream is the old six-pounder cannon. Lord Almighty!....The noise has stopped, and I am seizing the moment to make my diary entry. Who knows when I will have the opportunity again. If the Texans lose this fight, I may be in my grave this time tomorrow. Oh, the shooting and noise have started up again. My heart is pounding like a drum. Lord protect us.
