The battlefield is the San Jacinto battlefield, site of probably the most one sided battle in history.  The casualties, according to Sam Houston's official report, numbered 630 Mexicans killed, 208 wounded, and 730 taken prisoner. As against this heavy score, only nine Texans were killed or mortally wounded, and thirty wounded less seriously.

its a popular design concept.? Relatively cheap and quick to build.

Driving over it at night when the yellow cables stretching out of sight above you are lit is like driving into a cathederal.
