At the Battle of Monterrey, September 21-23, 1846, Lieutenant General Pedro de Ampudia and the Mexican Army of the North managed to fight American troops to a standstill at the important fortress town of Monterrey during the Mexican-American War.
Near the old fortress town of Monterrey, General Pedro de Ampudia recieved orders from Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna to retreat further to the town of Saltillo,Mexico where Ampudia was to establish a defensive line.
But Ampudia, who was hungry for victory and conscious that his men were nearing mutiny through constantly being forced to retreat, refused the order and chose instead to make a stand at Monterrey.

Holman and Tyler cite the portraits of Santa Anna, Arista, and Ampudia.
The importance of this decree may be inferred by the fact that it was one of the decrees presented as evidence in the Pious Fund case that came before the International Court of Arbitration in 1899.
The period covered (1527-1703) is rich with stirring events including the wanderings of Cabeza de Vaca, the search for the Seven Cities of Cibola, the expedition of conquest by Coronado, Oñate’s first permanent colonization in 1591, the Indian rebellion of 1680 and the Spanish re-conquest by Diego de Vargas in 1694.

 History of Texas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The early history of Texas may be regarded as a step in the great struggle between England, France and Spain for the possession of America.
The earliest explorations were made by the Spaniards, Cabeza de Vaca, 1528-36, and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, 1540-42, but the first colony was that planted on Matagorda Bay in 1685 by the French under the Sieur de la Salle.
The peace party, led by Stephen F. Austin, was able to restrain the more warlike followers of William H. Wharton and Henry Smith (1794-1851) until 1835, when Santa Anna overthrew the federal constitution of 1824 and established a dictatorship.

Additional Mexican attacks followed at Palo Alto (May 8) and Resaca de la Palma (May 9), but Taylor won unexpected victories that were responsible, in part, for the overthrow of Mexico's Centralist government.
On May 13 the United States declared war; shortly thereafter, Taylor was voted a gold medal and promoted to major general (June 29, 1846).
Lacking supplies, Taylor—in perhaps his greatest military blunder—granted an 8-week armistice to the Mexican commander, Gen. Pedro de Ampudia, allowing him to withdraw southward with most of his arms and ammunition.

Because of Hebbard's past concentration on abundant natural lighting and ventilation in his buildings, the school was placed on the lot facing south so as to obtain maximum natural lighting from the sun.
He designed professionál buildings in downtown Los Angeles, the Leland School in San Pedro, the Figueroa Theatre in Los Angeles and numerous residences in Hollywood.
It would seem reasonable that Hebbard would have designed the school considering his college background in classical architecture and also the fact that he had worked for Burnham and Root in Chicago; the World's Fair building there, now the Museum of Science and Industry, bore a strong resemblance to the State Normal School.
