1. San Jacinto Liberty Flag Marker
This flag was created by the ladies of Newport, Kentucky for Sidney Sherman's Newport volunteers and left with them on their departure to assist the Texians in their fight for freedom. This flag depicts Lady Liberty wielding a sword and a banner that says "LIBERTY OR DEATH". Outnumbered again and shouting the battle cry "Remember Goliad! Remember the Alamo!" 930 Texians rushed into Santa Anna's army of 1500 and won the battle in 18 minutes. Santa Anna was captured, surrendered and the Texas Revolution was over. Measured by its results, the battle of San Jacinto is considered by military historians as one of the most important battles in the history of the world. The acquisition of land from the battle, annexation and subsequent events, made possible only by this victory, not only produced Texas but New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, Utah, parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Nearly 1 million square miles, almost 1/3 of the present U.S.A. can be tied to that day at San Jacinto. The original flag is encased and rests at the Texas House of Representatives in Austin,
Erected 2011 by Friends of the Flag Foundation.

Represented in the park are 13 significant flags flown during the Texas Revolution as Texas became a sovereign nation. With over 50 to choose from, 13 were selected to symbolize the 13 colonies of Texas at the time and the 13 day siege at the Alamo. Historian Jim Walker worked tirelessly with Stephen Hardin and Stephen Moore, noted Texas authors and historians, in choosing the flags.(Submitted on May 23, 2026, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
