Episode 67: Horses Of The Texas Revolution
Perhaps no animal is more central to the Alamo story than the horse. Couriers on horseback brought word Santa Anna’s Army was approaching San Antonio, and spread the grim news throughout Texas that the situation at the Alamo went from dire to deadly.
We reveal how the horses of the Texas Revolution got to the Lone Star State, what we’ve learned from old newspaper ads about how they were used, and the artifacts on display now at the Alamo to tell their story. Featuring the Alamo's Senior Researcher & Historian Kolby Lanham.
