	San Jacinto Museum of History—Goliad Campaign
		The Goliad Campaign of 1835 started as an initiative by General Martín Perfecto de Cos to regain control of ports along the Texas Coast.

	Handbook of Texas Online:
		Although Austin's army, provisioned and supplied by Dimmitt's stores at Goliad, had held Cos under siege at Bexar since October, an attack had not been made, and it became questionable whether an assault was preferable to abandoning the siege and falling back to a fortified Goliad before Santa Anna's main army could arrive from Mexico.
		The Goliad Campaign of 1835 ended much as it began, foreshadowing the imminent arrival of the government army under Santa Anna.
		Goliad continued to be crucial to both sides in 1836, though the outcomes of the later campaign, dominated by James W. Fannin and José Urrea, would be quite reversed (see GOLIAD CAMPAIGN OF 1836).

		When Fannin withdrew to Goliad on February 12, Santa Anna's force was already on the march, with light cavalry and local Mexican rancheros, particularly from the Refugio and Goliad areas, serving as advance forces gathering intelligence.
		For General Urrea, the Goliad Campaign of 1836 was the most significant victory in a series of successful operations against the Texans to secure the gulf region from San Patricio to Brazoria.
		Indeed, "so great was the reputation he had established during the campaign," wrote a fellow officer, that "he was looked upon as an anchor of salvation." After taking possession of Guadalupe Victoria on March 21, he captured and occupied the various ports along the coast, fording rivers swollen from excessive rains.
