The Mexican War: Remember the Alamo

Part One

This is the first episode in a long series over the Mexican War from 1846 to 1848.

I begin the series where it all started: the Louisiana Purchase. I talk about the filibusterers such as Nolan, Long, and others. I then tell the story of Austin and his Old Three Hundred before marching headlong into the beginning of the Texas Revolution with Sam Houston and William Barret Travis. I end the episode with the assault on the Alamo and the fate of all those brave volunteers.
