Hi bentway; Re: " I think I'll stick with the Wikipedia version, but since you were THERE, you might want to edit it!";

Of course my recollection is of the story, moron. And "rape" is another way of describing "forced to engage in sex with". She already had a lover. Santa Ana treated her as property (as was not uncommon at the time):

Unfortunately for West, the plantation on which she worked lay directly in the path of the oncoming Mexican soldiers, led by Santa Anna. Upon arriving, burning most of the plantation, and killing several of its inhabitants, Santa Anna discovered West and ordered that she be taken captive. Forced to engage in sex with...Santa Anna, West unknowingly but greatly aided the Texan cause. After an...encounter with West, Santa Anna fell into a slumber from which he could not arouse himself sufficiently before Sam Houston's troops attacked his camp, killed many of his soldiers (who were quickly scattered without the commanding voice of their leader), and captured Santa Anna. During the battle of San Jacinto, West made a convenient escape.
