The Battle of Gonzales (October 2, 1835) was the result of the attempts of the Mexican government to retrieve a small smooth bore cannon (six pounder) that had been given in 1831 to the settlers at Gonzales as a defense against attacks by Tonkawa and Comanche Indians.
This was the first battle of the Texas Revolution (1835-1836).
