Podcast appearances and mentions of Stephen L Hardin

Texans remember two big dates in the state's formative history — March 6, when the Alamo fell, and April 21, when Sam Houston's army defeated Santa Anna's army at San Jacinto. Not receiving nearly so much interest are the six weeks between these two events in 1836 — when Houston's small army retreated and thousands of civilians evacuated their homes to escape the Mexican armies.

Howdy y'all! Welcome to another fun filled episode of the Texian! Today we sit down and chat with our most frequent guest host, Dr. Stephen L.

Howdy y'all! Welcome to another exciting and slightly quirky episode of The Texian. Today we talk with our favorite, and thus far only guest host, Dr. Stephen L. Hardin, about his outstanding book Texian Macabre. It's a creepy story, following a lucky survivor of the infamous Goliad Massacre to his unlucky end at the end of a hangman's rope in the new town of Houston. It paints a fascinating portrait of the early days of the Texas Republic and the seedy underbelly of the new town. But we start off with some background on the Goliad massacre, sharing some eyewitness accounts, and try to figure out why everyone remembers the Alamo, but so few today seem to remember Goliad. It's such a tragic story in it's own right, I feel like we will be returning to it time and again for future podcasts. Hope you enjoy! Now sit back, relax, and let's plunge into the action packed annals of our Texas history!

It gives us a fascinating glimpse into the life of the short lived Republic of Texas and the colorful cast of characters who inhabited that stage of history. Texas just wouldn't be Texas without this pivotal period in our history. It informs everything we are today. Hope you enjoy getting a sneak peak into the pages of what promises to be a fantastic book! Now sit back, relax and let's plunge into the action packed annals of our Texas history!

Today on The Texian we continue our discussion with Dr. Stephen L. Hardin of McMurry University about myths and misconceptions of the Alamo siege.

This is a continuation of the discussion begun in the last episode, so if you haven't listened to Episode 1, you might want to do so in order to get up to speed. Thanks again for listening and I hope you enjoy the ride through the action packed annals of our Texas history!
