	Santa Anna's Description of San Jacinto
		I had them call General Don Manuel Fernandez Castrillon, who was acting as major general, and told him to guard the camp and to advise me of the least movement on the part of the enemy.
		Finally, contributing considerably to this misfortune was the conduct of General Castrillon and the leaders and officers to whom was commended the guarding of the camp facing the enemy.
		It is true that General Castrillon conducted himself with extraordinary bravery in the final moments, according to what is told, but his efforts were useless, and his remorse must not have been small before he breathed his last if he remembered the abandonment of his duty when he should have been carrying it out.

	Chilling Tales of Ghostly Experiences at the Alamo..
		Among these, reports by General Manuel Fernandez de Castrillon, General Martin Perfecto de Cos and Colonel (later General) Juan Jose Andrarde state, was the famous Tennessee frontiersman, David Crockett.
		It is believed that this is the restless spirit of General Manuel Fernandez de Castrillon, one of Santa Anna's regimental commanders, who had opposed the final assault on the grounds that it was bound to be a "bloodbath".
		When Castrillon refused to carry out the order, on moral grounds, since he had offered the men his protection, Santa Anna's staff fell on the men with sabers, hacking them to death, and in the process, almost killing Castrillon.

	Ghosts of the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas - Page 2
		Many believe the ghostly man is that of General Manuel Fernandez de Castrillon, one of Santa Anna's regimental commanders.
		Castrillon was one of the few officers who had opposed the final assault on the Alamo, stating that it was bound to be a "bloodbath." His opposition was obviously ignored as the regiment continued to bombard the fortress.
		When the firing had finally ceased, six of the Alamo defenders surrendered and were brought to General Castrillon, who offered them his protection and petitioned Santa Anna for clemency.

		When Col. Duque was wounded (then nearly trampled to death by his own soldiers), command of the 2nd Column fell to Gen. Manuel Fernandez Castrillon.
		There is mention in most of the Alamo texts of a second and even third charge, but under the circumstances what probably happened may well be likened to the movement of waves against a promontory: the first crest hitting solidly, then sluicing back, swirling and tumbling again toward the rock that was the Alamo.
		Many of the officers had opposed the assault, preferring to wait for the two heavy cannon that were expected to arrive on the 7th.
