According to John Knaggs, author of "The Bugles are Silent," Santa Anna was captured the day after the battle of San Jacinto. He had cut and run in the midst of the decisive battle. He had, apparently, found a farmhouse with food and had changed into civilian clothes after swimming across the San Jacinto. He had to swim because Vince's Bridge had been taken out. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna might have gotten off easy, but the soldiers who were taken prisoner, shouted "El Presidente," as he was brought into camp, identifying him as the brutal general who had committed numerous war crimes by having the unarmed and wounded murdered.
In pursuit of Sam Houston's army, Santa Anna split his army into three columns. He hoped to trap the Texan army, but instead, his main force was drawn into battle at San Jacinto, and defeated in eighteen minutes. Santa Anna himself was captured.
