Episode 123: Washington On The Brazos
In March 1836, a group of delegates met along the Brazos River to turn the Texas Revolution into a true independence movement. They worked for 17 days straight to not only declare independence, but to write a constitution and the framework for a government.
We reveal the harrowing stakes of the convention at Washington on the Brazos, how the delegates felt the drumbeat of the clock with the Alamo under siege, and the historic renovations now complete to preserve this beacon of independence. Featuring Washington on the Brazos executive director Jonathan Failor, Washington on the Brazos assistant site manager for interpretation and public programs Tynan Shadle, and project manager Michael Moore.
