Terry, I would check all the battery connections on both ends of the positive and negative cables with a volt meter. You may have just gotten a bad starter or something else could have caused it to fail so quickly (bad cable, ground, etc.).

You can check the starter out while out of the motor using a set of jumper cables and a screwdriver to see if its bad. Or take it to your local parts shop and see if they can bench check it. Seems odd it would puke so quick.
