There were many who could claim such service. One was Benjamin Franklon Highsmith who is credited with service at the Alamo which he left as a courier on 18 February 1836 (at the age of 19.) He saw service at Velasco (age 15), Concepcion, San Jacinto and the Grass Fight. He was wounded at Buena Vista during the Mexican American War and served at Monterrey and Palo Alto. Between wars he served as a Texas Ranger where he saw service against the Commanche Indians at the Battle of Brushy Creek in 1839 and he died at the age of 88 on 20 November 1905.
