Treks: Presidio La Bahía

Most people might think the Alamo is Texas’ most fought-over fort, but they’d be wrong. South of San Antonio lies Goliad, home to Presidio La Bahía, a fortress that has witnessed nearly every conflict, rebellion, and revolution in Texas history. Join me as we trek to Goliad, Texas, and uncover the tragic and haunting stories that surround this historic site.

In this video, we explore the Presidio’s military origins, its role in the Texas Revolution, and the infamous Goliad Massacre. Walk with me through the fortress where Texian troops camped in 1836, and where Colonel James Fannin and his men met a brutal fate. We’ll visit the Fannin Battlefield, the site of their final stand, and delve into the eerie aftermath of the massacre, where the victims’ spirits are said to linger.

Stay with me as I recount my overnight stay in the Presidio’s historic Quarters, where the ghosts of the past seem all too real. Discover the forgotten fields where Texian prisoners were executed, and learn about the moments of heroism and horror that have left an indelible mark on Texas history.
