As the winter of 1835 approached, the Texian army lay siege to San Antonio de Bexar. When rumors started that a pack train was approaching the town carrying silver for the troops, the Texians saw opportunity. Riding out to meet the enemy, the Texians were successful...sort of. Learn about this skirmish in the latest episode of Wise About Texas.

Held prisoner by the Mexican government, the Texian volunteers of the Mier Expedition were forced to participate in a lottery--ten percent of them to be executed by a firing squad. Who lived and who died was settled by the drawing of a white or black bean. This is a first-hand report from Big Foot Wallace, one of the soldiers who drew a white bean and lived to tell the dramatic story of the black bean death lottery.

No Native Texan captured Anglo-Texians' hearts like Lipan Captain Flacco the Younger. His exploits as a Texas Ranger and his people's defense of Texas' borders against Mexico make him the darling of Texas newspapers. Texas newspapers fail to distinguish, however, between hostile native Texans and Lipanes living in their midst. And Lipan wealth becomes an irresistible target of Texian raiding and retaliation. Painting of Flacco the Younger by Jay Hester, available online.www.BrandonSeale.com

The Lipan Apaches become proxies for a Texian guerilla war against northern Mexico, until Texian policies cut them off from their lands and their livelihoods. Ever adaptable, the Lipanes flip the script, relocating to their old haunts in Mexico and raiding Texas property. The Texas-Mexico border itself – and the freedom it offers – becomes an artifact of enduring Lipan resistance during these years. The annexation of Texas, however, unbalances the playing field in an oddly legalistic way.www.BrandonSeale.com

In this episode, I discuss perhaps the most famous of all battles, the Alamo. In previous episodes, I've discussed the battles that took place Gonzales, Goliad (La Bahia), and the Siege of Bexar (or San Antonio) which took place from October through December of 1835. I've discussed a group of Texans who were very important in the revolution, the Tejanos, the Mexican Texans. Now it's time to look at the actual battle of the Alamo. Before I get too much into the actual story, I need to mention that there have been at least 8 movies made about the alamo, with the 1st being produced in 1915. It was a silent movie called Martyrs of the Alamo and it was produced by D.W. Griffith. Now, let's be honest and fair. Most of the movies about the battle of the Alamo are nonsense. The first of them, the one by D.W. Griffith was total garbage. Griffith, whose contributions to the movie industry cannot be denied,  was a well-known white supremacist  whose movies all reflected that.  Now the 2004 version is probably the most accurate of the movies made about the battle, but even it took what we call literary license with the events that took place, especially in the use of dialogue. So what really happened? One thing that the movies do get correct is there were some big-name folks who fought there. One of them was David Crockett, from Tennessee,  (by the way his actual fiddle is in the Witte Museum in San Antonio, and I once had a chance to hear it played during a recording session that took place in the Alamo Chapel). On different sides of the battle were two men who had once been friends adventurer James Bowie, and Mexican president Antonio López de Santa Anna. For a large number of Americans and almost all Texans, the battle for the Alamo has become a symbol of patriotic sacrifice and bravery. The men and women who were in the battle were indeed brave and as I mentioned in the beginning, the traditional popular novels, stage plays, and motion pictures, obscure the actual historical event. To understand the reality of the battle, we have to look at why San Antonio and the Alamo itself was strategic. Remember how in December 1835 a Federalist army of Texan (or Texian, as they were called) immigrants, American volunteers, and their Tejano allies had captured San Antonio from the Mexican Army, or the Centralist forces that were there  during the siege of Bexar. As I said in the episode about the Siege of Bexar after the victory, a majority of the Texan volunteers of the "Army of the People" left service and returned to their families. Even though the siege itself was over many members  of the provisional government feared the Centralists would mount a spring offensive. The main issue with that is there were only two main roads leading into Texas from the interior of Mexico.  The first was the Atascosito Road, which stretched from Matamoros on the Rio Grande northward through San Patricio, Goliad, Victoria, and finally into the heart of Austin's colony. The second was the Old San Antonio Road, a Camino real that crossed the Rio Grande at Paso de Francia (the San Antonio Crossing) and wound northeastward through San Antonio de Béxar, Bastrop, Nacogdoches, San Augustine, and across the Sabine River into Louisiana. Each of these roads were blocked by forts. Presidio La Bahía at Goliad and the Alamo at San Antonio. Each spot served almost like an early warning system, ready to alert the Texas settlements of any enemy advance. The Bexar garrison, or the Alamo was commanded by James Clinton Neill. While James Walker Fannin, Jr., took over the forces at Goliad. Many of the settlers had returned to home and that meant that some newly arrived American volunteers made up a majority of the troops at Goliad and Bexar. Both Neill and Fannin were determined to stall the Centralists on the frontier and not let them easily move inland, but they were not delusional. Without speedy reinforcements,

Two weeks after the fall of the Alamo, the Texian garrison at Goliad surrendered to another Mexican force, and a week after that, the garrison was executed on the orders of Santa Anna. Santa Anna and his army began marching east, toward the seat of the Texas government, while the Texas army retreated before him. On April 21, the two armies met at the brief but decisive Battle of San Jacinto, after which Santa Anna was captured. Santa Anna then signed the Treaty of Velasco, which ordered all Mexican armies in Texas back across the Rio Grande and which also acknowledged Texas' independence. Join Sean and James as they tell the story of the final actions of the Texas Revolution.

Further restrictive measures passed by Santa Anna's government motivated many Texians to mount a full-scale rebellion in October 1835 at the town of Gonzales. For some, the goal was statehood for Texas within the Mexican republic, but for others, the goal was full independence. A newly formed Texian army attacked Mexican positions at Goliad, Concepcion, and San Antonio, driving the Mexican army back across the Rio Grande. Some Texians believed the revolution was over and that they had won. But had they? “Come and take” in Sean and James' narration of the beginning of the Texas Revolution.

Teaser: Texican, Texian, or Texan? The difference is all in the timing. Description: Did you know Texans haven't always been known as Texans? The proper term has changed over time- depending upon the political structure. Here's a quick review of 25 years of history that took citizens from Texicans to Texians to Texans.

On April 22, 1836, the day after the Battle of San Jacinto, modern Harris County near the city of Houston, Texian soldiers captured Santa Anna. The day before, on April 21, Sam Houston's rag tag army attacked Santa Anna's larger army at about 3:30 in the afternoon. Santa Anna was asleep when the Texas soldiers launched the attack. Santa Anna awoke to a chaotic scene of the Texans savagely routing his army. There was nothing to do to change the course of the battle. He chose to escape rather than die. On the morning of April 22, Texian patrols still searched the countryside. One patrol, led by a Kentucky volunteer named James Sylvester, found Santa Anna hiding in the grass. He did not try to flee again. Stephen Harrigan wrote that Santa Anna displayed an instinctive arrogance when “he stood up from the grass and presumed to shake Sylvester's hand.” They asked if he had seen Santa Anna. He told them that Santa Anna was farther ahead and they marched him back to camp. Major John Forbes saw one of the young Texans bringing Santa Anna into camp. Santa Anna stepped forward and said the words “Sam Houston” a couple of times, motioning to where the wounded general lay beneath a tree with a shattered ankle. He pulled out a paper and Forbes looked at it and understood. The salutation read, Don Lopez de Santa Anna.  Santa Anna was then marched to the command tent where Houston lay in pain beneath a large oak tree. The Spanish officers among the prisoners attempted to keep the men quiet but soon across the camp the words, “El Presidente! El Presidente!” could be heard. Forbes remembered that Houston lifted himself up on his elbow to see the prisoner. Forbes said, and this is a quote, “the prisoner immediately addressed him, telling him who he was and surrendering himself to him, a Prisoner of War. General Houston looked at him intensely but made no reply.”  Houston sent for interpreters and people to identify Santa Anna. The exact exchange of words between Houston and Santa Anna was not recorded. Houston recalled that Santa Anna stated, “The conqueror of the Napoleon of the West is born to no common destiny, and he can afford to be generous to the vanquished.”  Houston claimed to have replied, “You should have remembered that, sir, at the Alamo.” Santa Anna claimed that having to storm the Alamo allowed the slaughter and then added that he was acting on the orders of the government. Houston responded, “You are the government yourself, sir.”  The Texan soldiers crowding around wanted Santa Anna to be executed. Houston thought it wiser to keep Santa Anna alive. Days later Santa Anna would order the other branches of the Mexican army to retreat and he eventually signed two treaties.  The Texas History Lessons Theme song, Walking Through History, was written and recorded by Derrick McClendon.

On April 21, 1836, after a lot of miserable experiences, constant retreating, and a lot of questions about Sam Houston's decision making and nerve, the Texas Army routed the Mexican Army led by General Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón, usually just called Santa Anna here in Texas, at the Battle of San Jacinto. The victory came at a very good time because people all over Texas were in a panic and the future for them looked grim. Houston was constantly disappointed at the turnout of Texas men to fight with him and issued many calls for Texans to step up, get rid of their cowardice, and fight for independence. Many Texans were busy fleeing with their families and possessions in the Runaway Scrape towards safety in the east. Some thought that Houston himself was fleeing to the east with hopes that the United States Army might step in and save him. President Burnett had no faith in Houston. The bloodletting of Texas rebels at Goliad and at the Alamo had many fired up for revenge and probably also a little concerned about what might happen if they came out to be on the losing end of the conflict. The fact of the matter is that people were concerned because Houston had not been very open about his real plans and goals. Most of the men wanted to fight and frequently voiced their disillusionment. That all came to an end on April 21, 1836.   Hidden in part by trees and the rising ground, Houston had his forces take position about 3:30 in the afternoon.  With cries of Remember the Alamo and Remember Goliad, the Texas army lunged forward. Eighteen minutes later the bloodbath of a battle was over. This time the Texans were victorious. The Texian officers lost control of the men and the violence reached a terrifying level. In the end, Houston's report states that 630 Mexicans were dead and 730 were held prisoner. In eighteen minutes. The Texian army lost 9 killed or mortally wounded and thirty soldiers were wounded but survived. Houston himself had his ankle shattered by a musket ball during the combat.  Santa Anna disappeared during the bloodshed but was eventually captured. Texans would base their independence on the two treaties Santa Anna would sign in future days from April 21st.  So there you go. That, in a nutshell, is why April 21st is celebrated across the state of Texas.

The soldiers proceeded to kill all the prisoners...or did they. Hear a harrowing tale of survival and freedom in the latest episode of Wise About Texas.

On this episode of the Resistance Library podcast, Sam and Dave discuss the forgotten history of the Gonzales flag. “Come and Take It.” It's a slogan of defiance against government tyranny with roots in antiquity that continues to inspire freedom-loving patriots today. This updating of the classic Spartan molṑn labé (meaning “come and take them”) is a powerful challenge to would-be gun grabbers. Seeking to remove arms from the people will not come without dear cost. For the Texian rebels of the Battle of Gonzales, these words were not mere tough talk. They were words the Texians were willing to die for.   You can read the full article Gonzales Flag: Meaning and History Behind ‘Come and Take It'” at Ammo.com.   For $20 off your $200 purchase, go to https://ammo.com/podcast (a special deal for our listeners).   Follow Sam Jacobs on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SamJacobs1776   And check out our sponsor, Libertas Bella, for all of your favorite 2nd Amendment shirts at LibertasBella.com.   Helpful Links:  Resistance Library  Sam Jacobs

Lockhart is a picturesque small Texas town, infamously dubbed the BBQ capital of Texas because of it’s long-standing establishments serving some of the best in the state. But Lockhart’s more than just a popular day-trip destination for many Texans looking for some good brisket. The history of the town dates back to the 1840’s and includes early Comanche raids, brave Texian settlers, and rowdy cowboys driving longhorns up the Chisholm trail. If the walls of the many still-standing buildings of downtown Lockhart could talk, we can only imagine the stories they’d tell. But in tonight’s episode, one such building appears to have a voice. Many voices actually. The Gaslight-Baker Theater is located in the heart of downtown Lockhart, and many in the community have had strange personal experiences in the building. It is believed that the theatre is haunted by numerous specters, and these paranormal residents have each been given their own unique name. The "Laughing Lady" whose laughter has been heard by man. "Colonel Baker", the original owner of the theatre, is believed by many to watch over the building and cause mischief ever so often. Then there’s the elusive, more ominous presence unanimously believed to haunt stage right, oddly named “Other Guy” by the staff and patrons of the theatre. So get and ready and join Stephen and the team as they pack up their gear, hit the road, and travel to Lockhart, Texas to uncover more details about the undocumented hauntings of the historic Gaslight Baker Theatre.

A raucous crowd of approximately 2000 Texian delegates jeered and taunted federal law enforcement agents sent in by the Department of Homeland Security to disperse the gathering at the Stephen F Austin Convention Center in San Antonio. DHS officials chose to wait until after the closing benediction to move in and break up the crowd. In previous years, the annual rally had gone largely unnoticed outside of the State of Texas; but this year’s assembly gained national attention after Congressman Chet Cummings, a Federal Libertarian from Waco, announced that he would take the group’s traditional liberation decree and read it into record on the House floor, next month. Though invited to be the keynote speaker, the Congressman declined the invitation after learning of the potential for violence at this year’s event, and chose not to attend.Support Our Podcast - Find 1st Amendment News T-Shirts and Travel Mugs at:https://www.zazzle.com/store/pop_and_kks_place/products Support the show (https://paypal.me/1stAmendmentNewsPodc?locale.x=en_US)

Jarrett and Linda camped at Goliad State Park in south Texas. Remember the Goliad? That's the place where about 450 Texian prisoners of war were killed in 1836 by the Mexican army under General and President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna's command during the Texas Revolution. The Goliad city and State Park are situated by the San Antonio River. Spain established the town in 1749, which makes it one of the oldest settlements established by westerners in Texas. Goliad State Park is not currently heavily inundated with visitors and offers an excellent option for paddling on the San Antonio River, which of course, Jarrett could not resist. So right before the Fourth of July weekend, Jarrett and Linda packed up their tent and took BeeGee and Angela along for the ride. In this episode, Linda tells us about their camping experience. At the same time, Jarrett talks about his experience rafting down the Goliad Paddling Trail and any advice he might have for those seeking adventure.

Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey, Ben Johnson, Harry Dean Stanton, Ron O'Neal, William Smith, and Powers Boothe. The Battle of the Alamo (February 23 – March 6, 1836) was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. Following a 13-day siege, Mexican troops under President General Antonio López de Santa Anna reclaimed the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Béxar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas, United States), killing the Texian and immigrant occupiers. Santa Anna's cruelty during the battle inspired many Texians, both legal Texas settlers and illegal immigrants from the United States, to join the Texian Army. Buoyed by a desire for revenge, the Texians defeated the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836, ending the rebellion.

Come to the Bower was an early Nineteenth Century minstrel tune that made the rounds of stages and taverns across the United States. It is a simple story of seduction in which a young rake is promising a delightful location for a tryst he has created in some secluded and shady place. It is a bawdy descendent of a slightly earlier Irish patriot tune, Come to the Bower, which invited volunteers to come to the Emerald Isle to free the nation from British occupation after the failed 1798 rebellion. The version presented here, the American minstrel tune, is taken from manuscript sheet music in the holdings of the American Antiquarian Society and is performed by Kay Frazier of the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, and Marc Sanders of Abilene Christian University on piano. The tune came to be associated with the April 21, 1836 Battle of San Jacinto because, as the tale is told, it was part of the repertoire of two teenaged Texian musicians pressed into service to provide martial music for the advance. Thus, Sam Houston and his army marched toward destiny in step to a slightly off-color tavern tune that magically captured the spirit of the age.

Dave and Bernie pull no punches when addressing the attitude of FC Dallas fans and their SG, the Beer Guardians, towards Austin FC. While they're at it, they also address Houston Dynamo and the Texian Army's take on things as well. Also, what the hell is a LaCinco12? Manchester United moves on to an 8-0 record across all competitions under the guidance of the "The Babyfaced Assassin," Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after crushing Arsenal 3-1 in an FA Cup match. The guys are also stoked that Millwall defeated Everton and moves on in the tournament as well.  The guys further speculate on US Men's Team and how things will turnout under Greg Berhalter's guidance.   

Howdy y'all! Welcome back for another thrilling episode of the Texian. This one is a little different. Since I am working on gathering other interviews with different Texas history experts for future podcasts, I've decided to tell my own version of a famous tall tale from the early days of Texas. A tall tale that happens to be true. It's the first in my little side series called Once upon a time in Texas. These will be my versions of Texas legends and folklore, where I will tell you what's true, what's fiction, and what we just ain't exactly sure of. Since legend and folklore are such a big part of our state's past, I figured they needed their own little subsection here on the Texian. Hope you enjoy this first entry! Be sure and share with your friends!  

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!

Howdy y'all! Welcome to the third episode of the Texian! Today we sit down and chat with our now semi-permanent guest host, Dr. Stephen L. Hardin, about his new book Lust for Glory. 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. We start off with an in-depth look at the legendary Line in the Sand and then go on to delve into other controversial topics, including the always fiery debate on how Davy Crockett died. 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! 

Welcome to our first episode! The Texian talks with Dr. Stephen L. Hardin, author of Texian Iliad, Texian Macabre and the upcoming Lust for Glory, about some of the most famous myths, misconceptions and downright lies associated with the most famous event in all Texas history. Basically, everything you think you know about the Alamo is likely wrong. This is the first of two action packed episodes! Now sit back, relax and plunge with me into the action packed annals of our Texas history!

In the first days of 1836 revolution was brewing in Texas.  The battle of Gonzales had spawned the Texian conquest of La Bahia and Bexar.  The Texians were sure the Mexicans would soon see the wisdom of allowing the Texians their own government.  The Indians, however, just saw opportunity.  Depredations continued and the further up the Guadalupe river you lived, the more danger you faced.  That danger reached Sarah Hibbens and her family.  This wasn't her first suffering at the hand of the indians and it wouldn't be her last.  But after a harrowing escape from the horror of captivity, she ran into a new force that would change the course of Indian/settler relations forever:  The Texas Rangers.  Captain Tumlinson and his men chased the Indians into the area that would later become the capital of the Republic of Texas.  Hear the story of the first battle between Texas Rangers and Comanche Indians in the latest episode of Wise About Texas.

The new Texian government broke off San Antonio's special relationship with the Comanche empire, provoking renewed hostilities from the horsemen off the plains. Newcomers to the town had to integrate themselves quickly into the fighting units of Old San Antonians and learn the lessons of frontier warfare firsthand.

During the fight for Texas Independence how many Texians could say that they were at almost all of the major battles including the battle of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto? One man could. Question: Who was this Texian patriot who fought so hard for Texas Independence then, soon after the birth of Texas, would be forced to leave the land he fought for?

On October 2, in the village of Gonzales near San Antonio, Texian colonists resisted the attempt by the Mexican officials to sieze a small cannon, challenging the Mexican soldiers to "Come and Take It". Fighting broke out, becoming the last straw in the relationship between Texas and the Mexican government of Santa Anna. This tiny skirmish would set Texas on the road to independence. The flag they fought under would inspire this revolution as well as this podcast.

CBS Radio Adventure Theater Known as "General Mills Radio Adventure Theater" the first time this series aired in 1977, and then renamed CBSRAT for the repeat season later that year and into early 1978, there were only 52 episodes for this series geared toward younger listeners, hosted by Tom Bosley. The series was an excellent presentation, always well acted and notably produced. THIS EPISODE: Remember The Alamo - The Battle of the Alamo was fought in February and March 1836 in San Antonio, Texas. The conflict, a part of the Texas Revolution, was the first step in Mexican President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna's attempt to retake the province of Texas after an insurgent army of Texan settlers and adventurers from the United States had driven out all Mexican troops the previous year. Mexican forces began a siege of the Texian forces garrisoned at the Alamo Mission on Tuesday, February 23. For the next twelve days, Mexican cannons advanced slowly to positions nearer the Alamo walls, while Texian soldiers worked to improve their defenses. Alamo co-commander William Travis sent numerous letters to the acting Texas government, the remaining Texas army under James Fannin, and various Texas communities, asking for reinforcements, provisions, and ammunition. Several times small groups of Texians ventured outside the Alamo walls, occasionally skirmishing with Mexican soldiers. Mexican forces received reinforcements on March 3. The Texians were reinforced at least once, when 32 men from Gonzales entered the fort, and may have received additional reinforcements. Additional Texas settlers and American adventurers gathered at Gonzales to prepare for the march to San Antonio.

The following four topics are all stands by the US military. This is just a small selection of famous stands since there are many more (some of which will be mentioned in a future episode). * Alamo (1836): Lt. Col. Travis leads the Texian defense of the Alamo against a numerically superior foe, the Mexicans led by Santa Anna. The Texians cannot hold and every male is killed. * Little Bighorn (1876): Lt. Col. Custer underestimates the Lakota/Cheyenne forces in the area (under the leadership of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull). Custer is overwhelmed and all of his men are killed. * Khe Sanh (1968): The US military base near the border of North and South Vietnam is besieged by numerically superior NVA forces. Using heavy bombers, the US troops break the siege and damage the NVA significantly. * Mogadishu (1993): Operation Restore Hope in Somalia suffers a major defeat when special forces groups executing "Operation Gothic Serpent" are trapped in the city. After a horrendous night of fighting, they are rescued by UN forces.
