THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS
Emily D. West was a free Black who was captured by Santa Anna's troops during the Battle of San Jacinto. She distracted the General while Texas troops advanced. Emily left the Republic of Texas in 1837 after which she was never heard of again. An African American man, known only as J.K., immortalized her in the song "Yellow Rose of Texas". Author Anita Bunkley created a fictionalized account of her life in the 1989 novel Emily, the Yellow Rose: A Texas Legend.
