Episode 3: The Weapons Of The Texas Revolution
The Battle of the Alamo lasted roughly 90 minutes. But the weapons that forged a revolution, crossed oceans, changed sides, and in some cases, became as mythical as the fighters who manned them.
Today we reveal where many of the cannons used in the Texas Revolution came from, dispel the myths behind the Battle of the Alamo’s most famous cannons, and show you the painstaking efforts to ensure these now-silent cannons are not forgotten. Featuring the Alamo's Senior Historian & Researcher Kolby Lanham.
Correction: At 3:46, King Gustav Adolphus II was mistakenly referred to as King Gustav Adolphus III during the back-and-forth discussion.
