Episode 117: San Antonio During The Texas Revolution
In a frontier town like San Antonio de Bexar, a framework of ordinances helped maintain law and order. In the run-up to the Revolution, those ordinances kept the town organized - even with Mexican troops marching toward it.
We reveal how San Antonio’s government functioned, how key players in the Alamo story fit into the town structure, and why understanding all this helps inform the historic events that soon unfolded. Featuring the Alamo's Exhibit Developer and historian Dr. David Carlson.
