"The battle at the
Alamo is sacred, but victory at San Jacinto gave us Texas," says James
E. Crisp, PhD, who returns for his 15th stint as San Jacinto Symposium
moderator. "It is not often you can hear historians
discuss one of the most important battles in history - then tour the
actual battle site on the same day." Crisp is a Fellow of the Texas
State Historical Association and Professor of History at North Carolina
State University.
In the morning, hear scholars Gregg J. Dimmick, Stephen L. Hardin, James
McLemore, and J.P. Bryan discuss the ordinary Texan and Mexican
soldiers and their arms and battle tactics. After lunch, enjoy a
scholar-led tour of the battleground (tour optional).
Teachers earn six CPE credits for the full day.
