Stephen L. Hardin discusses "San Jacinto: The Anomalous Battle" in the fourth session of the San Jacinto Day Celebration Lecture Series.
Stephen L. Hardin is a retired professor of history, previously at McMurry University in Abilene, Texas. Author of numerous award-winning books on Texas history and more than a dozen scholarly articles enjoyed by readers on both sides of the Atlantic, his Texian Iliad: A Military History of the Texas Revolution, published in 1994, achieved distinction as a “Basic Texas Book” when bibliophile Mike Cox included it in More Basic Texas Books.
When not engaged in the classroom, he serves as an on-air commentator, appearing on such varied venues as the A&E Network, the History Channel, and NBC’s TODAY show. Most recently, he appeared on the Fox News series, “Legends & Lies."
Lectures will be presented in the Jesse H. Jones Theatre for Texas Studies inside the San Jacinto Monument.
