Cannon

Though they had a brass cannon (described by Dr. Nicholas D. Labadie as a twelve-pounder called the Golden Standard), Mexican artillery at San Jacinto had little effect.

The Texians used two six-pound cannons donated by the city of Cincinnati, known as the Twin Sisters, to rip through Mexican lines with horseshoes, nails, broken glass and musket balls.
