near present-day Waco. The Spanish sent 150 soldiers to arrested him. Nolan
refused to surrender and was killed while fighting the Spanish.

ownership of Texas. Dr, James Long, a wealthy plantation owner and
merchant was chosen to lead the expedition. His forces captured
Nacogdoches in 1819 but the town was later retaken by the Spanish.
