Many thought that he was chicken (Afraid to fight). That wasn't the case at all. He knew that a delayed and pitched battle favored the Texans because disease and desertion were working against Mexico and time favored the Texans with a steady flow of new volunteers from the US joining daily for the promised pay-off in land. Houston's personal valor should not be questioned. He had been hit in the groin by an arrow in the groin during the War of 1812 as well as gunshots to the arm and shoulder and still he fought on. He was protecting the Army of Texas who needed a clear and decisive victory to gain their independence. He rightly believed that he would only be given one chance to win the war. The troop strength lost at the Alamo and at Goliad required time to be replaced and every new recruit required discipline and training to become an effective combatant.
