Fleeing westward after an attack by Mexican troops on their camp at Cowhouse Creek earlier in November, a band of Tawakonis (Wichita) is pursued and attacked by a force of two hundred Mexican troops between the Llano and Pedernales rivers. Exact location unknown, but probably near present-day Marble Falls. Nine Tawakonis are killed in a two-hour battle. Capt. Manuel Lafuente orders their bodies to be hanged from the trees.
