It was the only home President Dwight David Eisenhower, the general commanding Allied troops during World War II, would ever own. It was a farm in a location he knew well, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and located directly next to the battlefield. It was a working farm, a farm of detente, and now a National Historic Site to visit and learn about the era and his Presidency.

It was a battle that preceded its more famous cousin, the one where the war for Texas independence took a turn for the worst. Yes, we're talking the Alamo. But the Battle of Goliad, taking place on October 10, 1835, four months prior to the San Antonio fight, would be a skirmish, actually the second, that showed that the Texans were in it to win their independence, and that this battle, a Texas victory, would show the mettle of their cause.
