Episode 7: October 1835 - The Texas Revolution Begins
As we wrap up October 2023, we're taking you back 188 years ago to October 1835 - the early days of the Texas Revolution. The month was a pivotal point in the burgeoning movement against the centralization of power in Mexico City.
Today we explore the battles of October 1835, how the front line of revolution moved from Gonzales to modern-day San Antonio, and how these fights set the stage for what came next at the Alamo. Featuring the Alamo's Senior Curator, Historian & Lecturer Ernesto Rodriguez.
