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.

AMAZING!
Color: 1 Pack
This is amazing!! It gives me such a glow. I get compliments on my skin, all day. And I e only had it for two days. It’s great to reapply. No more cheap harmful sunscreen spray with alcohol to the face. I only wear tinted sunscreen. This is so convenient. It’s cheaper than $30 Kopari. I’m buying three of these so I will not run out. Summer is in two months. I cannot be without this. And only $10!! I’m in love with this product. Run and get it!

Color: 1 Pack
I got this sheer setting mist sunscreen for summer and it has been a fun little extra to keep on hand. The formula is light and dries fast, so it never feels sticky or heavy on the skin. The sheer finish really is sheer. No white cast, no chalky look, just a soft, hydrated glow. The little bit of shimmer gives it a pretty, sun kissed look without turning you into a glitter ball. It works well over makeup as a setting spray and it is easy to reapply during the day without messing anything up. On bare skin it gives a dewy finish that looks fresh, especially for beach days or outdoor events. The SPF 50 is solid protection, and it does not irritate sensitive skin. If you want a sunscreen that feels weightless, adds a touch of glow, and fits right into a summer routine, this one is a fun and easy choice.

Not sticky, lightweight light shimmer/glitter sunscreen setting spray.
Color: 1 Pack, Color: 1 Pack
If you like just a touch of sparkle along with some sunscreen and setting spray this is fantastic. This doesn't leave you looking like you are going to a rave, rather it is more like you have been crafting and there is a bit of glitter. It is sheer other than the touch of sparkle. It is not sticky it dries and feels almost like it isn't there at all. There is seventy five ml in this bottle just over two and a half ounces. The sprayer mists quite well so there is even coverage. This works equally as well to set your make-up and also to add sunscreen on the rest of your body. The formula contains hyaluronic acid to improve moisture. It dries soft and lightweight which I really appreciate in a product that also protects the skin from the sun.

Love a subtle glitter!
Color: 1 Pack, Color: 1 Pack
I am a big fan of glitter for going to events with my little daughter. She loves wearing glitter as much as I do. We both wear sunscreen, and I was interested in this because of the SPF promise. I also liked the idea of a sheer mist. I like to use glitter as a way to make up for not having a tan so I can still have a sort of sunny glow. I am not sure how I feel about this as an spf product. I prefer to put on serious cream sunscreen and I would just use this as a touch up mist, or cosmetic refresher. The mist is watery up closely sprayed but it is light and weightless misted on from an appropriate distance. The dried mist on my skin does have a sort of barrier or feel of a sunscreen over something like a gel. There is a slight tack till dry but very subtle. My sunscreen and makeup was fine under this mist. I do use mists to give my skin a natural texture so most of my products look good with a mist setting finish. The glitter is super subtle, but noticeable if you focus on it. In a low light setting I can see speckled glitter, and in direct sunlight. Just not clubbing or parade level body bedazzling glitter. I actually really like the fine glitter effect. There is no fall off, and the glitter washes off super easy. My skin feels very happy and hydrated but not bothered by a coating or layer. There isn’t really an aroma, I swear there is when I mist but then I smell nothing on me but a faint notion of some product. Not powdery but a mild lotion like note. Very hard to detect unless you are literally nose to skin sniffing. I think for the price this is a great fine glitter mist. I might continue to use my own sunscreen and not rely on this as a barrier. I take spf pretty seriously as a woman in my early forties. Overall I am really happy with this as a casual mist and I would buy it again to just wear because I like the texture and the effect. The box did have unfortunate choice of colors for reading but up close I was able to read the ingredients and information. The bottle is pretty cute, and the mist nozzle pumps well without sticking or getting gummed up.

Lightweight sunscreen mist with a subtle glow
Color: 1 Pack, Color: 1 Pack
I like how easy this sunscreen mist is to apply. The spray feels light and refreshing on the skin and dries quickly without feeling heavy or sticky. It leaves a hydrated, dewy look that works nicely on both the face and body. The fine mist makes it convenient for quick reapplication, especially when spending time outdoors. Another thing I noticed is the subtle shimmer that gives the skin a soft glow in sunlight. It is not overly glittery, just enough to add a little radiance. The formula feels weightless and comfortable, making it easy to layer over makeup or use on bare skin. Overall it is a convenient sunscreen option for beach days, festivals, or everyday sun protection.
