Santa Anna General Sam Houston was appointed to command the Texan Army in 1836. General Lopez de Santa Anna was the ruler of Mexico, on the other side. He was a very evil man. The most evil man in the world was Adolf, Hitler.
The first Commander in chief of the newly formed Texian/Texan army during the Mexican - American war was the infamous Steven F. Austin.

America's first Commander in Chief was George Washington.
He was the Commander in Chief first.
The first US Commander in Chief was George Washington.
"Commander and Chief" no he was not, but "Commander in Chief" yes he was. George Washington was appointed Major General and then elected by Congress to be Commander in chief in 1775. In fact he was the very first Commander in Chief.SFC FairfieldNot quite. The congressional resolution appointed him "General in Chief with rank of general." That is to say, his rank was general, equivalent to a modern four star general (that insignia had not yet been thought of) and his title was General in Chief. Obviously a genral in chief and a commander in chif are pretty much the same thing and I do not know if the latter phrase was ever used during the War for Independence or if it's use stems only from the Constitution.
