The Monument is dedicated to the men who fell during the so-called Dawson Massacre (1842) and Mier Expedition.
One of the men who took part in the Somervell/Mier Expedition was Mr. Kinchen William Davis. He was captured by Mexican troops and happened to draw a white bean, then was kept at the Perote prison.
More about Mr. Davis, his fate, and family in the post HERE.
