Episode 61: The Storming Of Bexar
The Storming Of Bexar is a shorthand description of the first major campaign of the Texas Revolution, with street-to-street and even house-to-house fighting just footsteps from the Alamo.
We reveal the central figure of this conflict, how he sacrificed his life to help ensure Texans won control of the Alamo, and the piece of his personal history now back home at the Shrine of Texas Liberty. Featuring the Alamo's Senior Curator, Historian & Lecturer Ernesto Rodriguez; Main Plaza Conservancy's Executive Director Molly Hall-Villarreal; and the Alamo's Collections Manager Misty Lanham.
