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, on Wednesday, October 30 at 11:30 a.m. in the 1859 Ashton Villa, 2328 Broadway, 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. Details at www.galvestonhistory.org/events/the-lost-war-for-texas-presentation-and-book-signing. ... See MoreSee Less
