Episode 89: The Civil War & San Antonio
A nation deeply divided and rapidly heading toward a civil war that will cause bloodshed across the land, and cost more than 600,000 lives.
We reveal San Antonio’s role in the Civil War, how the first gun shots almost were fired at the Alamo, and how the mission-turned-military-fort played a pivotal role in America’s bloodiest conflict. Featuring the Texas Center's Dr. Don Frazier.
