By: José Enrique de la Peña

This diary from an officer on Santa Anna's staff caused a great deal of controversy when it was first published in English in 1975, mainly because of its interpretation of Santa Anna's motives and because it contradicts other reports of the circumstances of David Crockett's death. Though some of de la Peña's assertions are still in doubt, his account is revealing nevertheless. This edition includes a previously unknown week of entries, and a new introduction by their discoverer, James E. Crisp.
