Delve deeper into the pivotal Battle of San Jacinto and the Texas Revolution with a distinguished lineup of four renowned historians and scholars. This engaging lecture series offers a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the historical events that shaped Texas. Lectures will take place before, between, and after the two reenactments. Each lecture will be approximately 30 minutes long with an opportunity for a question-and-answer session following its conclusion. Admission to the lecture series is free, making it accessible to all who wish to enrich their knowledge of Texas history.
The first lecture of the day will be presented by Dr. Paul Spellmen, the author of more than a dozen published books on Texas history, including Old Three Hundred: Gone to Texas and Forgotten Texas Leader: Hugh McLeod and the Texan-Santa Fe Expedition. A retired professor of Texas History, he holds degrees from Southwestern University, UT-Austin, A&M-Corpus Christi, and PhD University of Houston.
Lectures will be presented in the Jesse H. Jones Theatre for Texas Studies inside the San Jacinto Monument.
