The Lost War for Texas – Presentation and Book Signing

October 30 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Free

One of the most important themes in US history is the series of struggles that transformed the Southwest from a Spanish to an American possession: the Texas Revolution of 1836 and the Mexican–American War of 1845. But what if historians have been overlooking a key event that led to these wars—another war almost entirely unknown—that took place on what is now US soil and dramatically shaped the development of the American Southwest to this day?

Join author James Aalan Bernsen as he places a spotlight on division and separatism at this pivotal moment of the “second revolution” of the United States.

Admission is free for in-person and online access with RSVP. A link for the live stream will be sent prior to the event with instructions on viewing. Access will start at 11:15 a.m. on the day of the presentation. The book signing will begin after the presentation
