Houston shot through ankle. Saracen, his horse, dead. Santa Anna missing. General Filosa dead at the Golden Standard. Almonte manages to rally troops into formation to surrender as a group, saving 400 lives. Men scattered throughout the canebrakes, marshes, lakes, bayou, river. Hunting or being hunted. 600+ dead. The slaughter continues into the night.
Nine dead, 30 wounded on the Texan side. 630 dead, 208 wounded, 730 captured on the Mexican side.
