An interesting antique engraving of a cartoon published in the Illustrated London News dated November 5, 1842 and entitled as follows: “Texas Again Invaded – Capture of San Antonio” The accompanying article describes the capture of judges and officers of the court by 1300 Mexicans – this was known as The Woll Invasion – see belowGood condition – see scans. Page size 16 x 11 inches. The Woll Invasion. Unfortunately, the advancing force had been underestimated. Gen. Woll was a Frenchman and a soldier of fortune who had 1,000 Mexican regulars, 600 presidial troops and a powerful artillery. General Woll was an educated man (According to Jeff Long in his book Duel of Eagles, General Woll was a wandering french mercenary who had joined the Mexican army after failing to gain a spot in the United States Army. see p. 134). Maybe he had read Shakespeare’s ________________, in which _________________ tried to disengage the last defenders of democracy and justice by suggesting that “first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” Or maybe he thought that if he captured the lawyers and other influential citizens of San Antonio, his employers, and especially General Santa Anna, would be impressed. Whatever his thoughts at the time, later events in the campaign would prove disappointing to General Woll. Ironically, Juan Seguin, a Tejano hero of the Battle of San Jacinto who had served the Republic of Texas in the 1838 Senate and the City of San Antonio as its Mayor from 1842 until April, 1842, was now accompanying Gen. Woll in this invasion of San Antonio. After being forced to resign as Mayor in April, 1842, Seguin moved to Mexico and was captured by Santa Anna’s forces. It has been said that when Santa Anna discovered that Seguin had been captured, he sent Seguin with Gen. Woll on the San Antonio invasion to prove his loyalty to Mexico (Long, Jeff, Duel of Eagles, pp. 333-334. At daylight on Sunday, Gen. Woll advanced into Military Square (now the site of the City Hall of the city of San Antonio) under a dense fog. The citizens of Bexar were awakened by the firing of a piece of cannon, succeeded immediately by the sound of martial music and the tramp of a body of men. General Woll had surrounded the town with Mexican regular soldiers and had posted a confidant named Lt. Cordova and a band of Cherokees at the passes to the Alamo. A company of San Antonio defenders fired toward the music down the street. The fire was returned by the Mexicans with volleys of musketry and rapid discharges from a six and four pound cannon. As soon as the smoke and fog cleared, it was discovered that the town was surrounded on all sides by the Mexican soldiers. A local citizen named Corasco waved a white flag and then discussed the situation with General Woll. Later, Mr. Corasco reported to the citizens of Bejar that General Woll had 2,000 soldiers and had given the citizens a half hour to surrender. Jones, Maverick and a few others were sent to a parley with General Woll. Under the circumstances, they were not in a position to negotiate. It was agreed that the citizens would surrender as prisoners of war — their lives and property (except arms) to be spared and secured. Informed of the mistake under which the citizens had resisted, General Woll advised that but for the mischief done (some 30 Mexican soldiers killed or wounded) he would have permitted them to disperse. Under the circumstances, however, he would have to take prisoners. The prisoners would include all male Anglo citizens in the town (Lone Star, p. 261). He promised that the prisoners would be treated as gentlemen. Fifty-five citizens were imprisoned, including Judge Hutchinson, the District Attorney, the clerk, all members of the Bar (including Maverick and Jones) except one, along with other citizens of Bexar and adjacent counties. After five days of imprisonment in San Antonio, the prisoners were told they would be required to march to the banks of the Rio Grande, where General Woll promised that they would be set free by his superior officer, General Reyes. Although it was probably never intended, these lawyers, litigants, citizens, and officers of the court were destined to become prisoners of war in a desperate attempt by Santa Anna to accomplish several goals — disrupt civil proceedings and the progress of government in Texas, demonstrate the strength of his forces, assert Mexican sovereignty, chastise the Texans, give U.S. annexationists and European allies reason to be concerned, and, ultimately, to regain the Texas lost in the battle of San Jacinto.” (See generally, Fehrenbach, Lone Star, p. 478) Also, it was rumored that Gen. Woll’s next target after San Antonio was going to be Austin, hoping that a capture of the capital would be the end of Texas independence. Perhaps Santa Anna’s goals were less ambitious, and the invasion was meant to keep the Texans in check and dissuade attempts to further advance the Texas line into Mexican territory.
