A Guide to the Juan José de Andrade Items
Biographical NoteJuan José de Andrade served as a brigadier in the Mexican Army during the Texas Revolution. In March 1836, General Antonio López de Santa Anna left Andrade in charge of San Antonio de Béxar. When Vicente Filisola took command of the Mexican Army, he ordered Andrade to evacuate the city in April 1836. After the evacuation, the Mexican government and José de Urrea, Filisola’s successor in the Mexican Army who had opposed the retreat, questioned Andrade about the evacuation, which prompted Andrade to publish several letters and reports to prove he was ordered to retreat and not to stay, as Urrea believed. These items were published as Documentos Que el General Andrade Publica Sobre la Evacuacion de la Ciudad de San Antonio de Bejar, del Departamento de Tejas a sus Compatriotas, translated as Documents Published by Juan Jose de Andrade about the Evacuation of San Antonio de Bejar and printed in 1836.
