The Gonzales "come and take it" cannon was a Spanish-made, bronze artillery piece of six-pound caliber. The gun was the object of contention in late September and early October 1835 between a Mexican military detachment from Bexar and Anglo-Celtic colonists. The disagreement produced the battle of Gonzales, considered to be the first battle of the Texas Revolution. On January 1, 1831, Green DeWitt initiated the new year by writing Ramón Músquiz, the political chief of Bexar, asking him to make arrangements for a cannon to be furnished to the Gonzales colonists for protection against hostile Indians. On March 10, 1831, after some delay, James Tumlinson, Jr., a DeWitt colonist at Bexar, received one bronze cannon to be turned over to Green DeWitt at Gonzales. The fact that the gun was not carriage mounted until about September 28, 1835, suggests that in 1831 it was probably swivel mounted in one of the two blockhouses that had been constructed at Gonzales in 1827. Thus mounted it would have served as a visual deterrent to hostile Indians.

The cannon is lost to history until September 1835, when Col. Domingo de Ugartechea, the military commander at Bexar, sent Corporal Casimiro De León and five soldiers of the Second Flying Company of San Carlos de Parras to retrieve the cannon. The Gonzales colonists notified Ugartechea they were keeping the gun and took the soldiers prisoner. The cannon was then buried in George W. Davis's peach orchard and couriers sent to the Anglo-Celtic settlements on the Colorado River to obtain armed assistance. Ugartechea responded by sending 100 troops under Lt. Francisco de Castañeda to make a more serious request for the return of the gun. On September 29, Capt. Robert M. Coleman arrived at Gonzales with a militia company of thirty mounted Indian fighters. The gun was retrieved from its shallow grave, taken to John Sowell's blacksmith shop, and mounted on a pair of cart wheels. After organization of the Texian "Army of the People" under Gen. Stephen F. Austin, the cannon was assigned to Capt. James C. Neill's artillery company and hauled to San Antonio. After the capture of Bexar in December 1835, the cannon remained at the Alamo, where it was one of twenty-one artillery pieces commandeered by the Mexican army upon the recapture of Bexar on March 6, 1836.

The name "Come and Take It" refers to the motto adopted by the Texian rebels. On the morning of October 2, 1835, Lieutenant Castañeda requested the cannon be returned to the Mexican military-a condition on which it had been loaned to DeWitt's Colony-but the Texians pointed to the gun which stood about 200 yards to their rear, and said, "there it is-come and take it." Soon after the conflict began, at the request of the Anglo-Celtic leaders, the ladies of the settlement hastily made a flag to fly over the cannon. The flag featured a white ground with a black cannon in the center, and the motto "Come and take it!" above and below. Much has been made of an account that appears in Noah Smithwick's The Evolution of a State or Recollections of Old Texas Days (1900), in which Smithwick identifies the cannon as an iron six-pounder. This is the only account, however, of events at Gonzales in October 1835 which identifies the Gonzales gun as being made of iron. Primary documents indicate that the gun probably was a cannon belonging to George Huff, a blacksmith and gunsmith from San Felipe. Another discovery claim concerning the Gonzales cannon came into being after a major flood in July 1936, when a small iron salute cannon was discovered downstream from Hardy's Bluff on Sandies creek. Many individuals believe the small salute gun is the Gonzales cannon because it was found at a location that appears to match the information in the Smithwick book. The gun, however, matches none of the characteristics attributed to the Gonzales cannon by reliable primary sources. The Smithwick account incorrectly identifies the Gonzales cannon, but the Sandies salute gun does not even conform to Smithwick's description of the cannon he believed to be the Gonzales gun. Although what happened to the "Come and Take It" cannon is not known, still another, and probably more likely scenario, resulted from actions of the Mexican army after the fall of the Alamo, when Antonio López de Santa Anna's troops melted down an unknown number of bronze guns. The Gonzales cannon may have been one of these.

Perfect for whitening!
This Puur Smile whitening kit is now a must have in my home ! I always wanted to have whiter teeth but going to a dentist is too expensive. I decided to buy this kit to try it out and I am very happy with my results ! The kit is very easy to use and you have a manual. I love that the Puur Smile led device has 2 modes , for sensitive and extra sensitive teeth . It does not irritate my teeth and gums . You don't have to hold it on for long , 10-15 minutes per session is enough. After using it I noticed significant improvement of my teeth color , it is whiter and I am looking forward to making it even better with future sessions.

Very good
I really liked this teeth whitening kit. It comes very complete with an LED light, whitening gel pens, and a shade guide to track your progress. The instructions are easy to follow, and the design is practical and comfortable to use. After several uses, I noticed my teeth looked a bit brighter and cleaner. I also like that the device is rechargeable, which makes it convenient and easy to use anywhere. Overall, it’s a great option for at-home teeth whitening.

Must have!
I am honestly blown away by the Puur Smile Teeth Whitening Kit — it’s become a must-have in my self-care routine! From the moment I started using it, I noticed a visible difference in the brightness of my teeth. Even stubborn stains from coffee and wine have faded noticeably after just a few sessions. The kit is super easy to use, and the instructions are clear and straightforward — no fuss, no mess. I love that it doesn’t cause sensitivity like other whitening products I’ve tried in the past. The LED light feels gentle, and the gel goes on smoothly without irritation. My smile looks brighter, cleaner, and more confident — and I’ve already gotten compliments from friends and coworkers! The results feel professional quality but at a fraction of the cost. If you’re looking for a reliable, effective, and gentle whitening system, this kit is a total winner. Highly recommend! 😁✨
