Born to a prominent San Antonio family, Juan Seguin led a life of service to his community.

He was both a soldier and politician, becoming Mayor of San Antonio in 1841. During the Texan Revolution, Seguin supported independence. He served as an Alamo courier and valiantly led his fellow Tejanos as a Captain at the Battle of San Jacinto. After accepting the formal surrender of Mexican forces at San Antonio, Seguin oversaw the burial ceremonies for the Alamo defenders' ashes.
