The Lone Star Monument Brochure

"Sculpture portrays a veteran of the revolution after the Battle of San Jacinto and on the day the Lone Star flag was first unfurled. The 14 ft. bronze is full of symbolism, with 13 rocks under the left foot representing the 13 day siege at the Alamo, 342 marks in those rocks, one for each man massacred at Goliad.

Eighteen buttons on his coat, shirt and pants; represent every minute in the Battle of San Jacinto. Under his right toe is a stone inscribed with the name, Santa Anna, symbolizing the years of discomfort he continued to give the Republic of Texas long after the battle was won. Under the same foot are nine stones for each Texian lost at San Jacinto."
