You are absolutely correct. If you ever have the chance, visit the San Jacinto battleground and the USS Texas. They are really something to see.

I lived in Beaumont for a couple of years, and used to pass the San Jacinto battleground every time I drove to Houston. Loved the story of the "Yellow Rose of Texas".
