Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Texas, Vol. 1: Fort Worth and the Texas Northwest Edition Briefly, J ohnson was, during this period, surveyor of the Ayish Bayou district in East Texas in 1829, one of the leaders in the attack on Arm huac and the expulsion of Bradburn from that place in 1832, secretary of the convention which met in October of 1832 to petition the general government for the separation of Coahuila and Texas and for other re forms, and during 1833 and 1834 surveyor in the upper colony of Austin and Williams west of the old San Antonio Road. Early in 1835 he became one of the more active leaders of the war party which promoted the revolution, and when the fighting began in the fall of 1835 he was among the volunteers that marched to the siege of San Antonio. He commanded a division of the force that stormed the town (december 5 and after the death of Milam succeeded to the full command. After the surrender of General Cos on December 9, J ohnson and Dr. J ames Grant began preparations for an invasion of Mexico, the contemplated point of attack being Matamoras. The expe dition was opposed by Governor Smith, but the General Council of the Provisional Government authorized it and appointed J ohnson and J ames W. Fannin, J r., to the command. Before the expedition got under way Santa Anna invaded Texas, in February of 1836, and Johnson's force was surprised at San Patricio by General Urrea and destroyed, J ohn son and three or four others alone escaping. General Houston was at this time encamped on the Colorado a short distance above Columbus, and J ohnson says that he joined some fifteen or twenty others and started for headquarters, but being met on the way and informed that the army was retreating to the Brazos, we returned home. I took no further part in the struggle. I was thoroughly disgusted with the scramble for ofiice - civil and military. I retired to the Trinity, where I remained quietly until 1839. And then visited the United States, having been in Texas thirteen years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
