In this episode we uncover the little-known story of the Cart War in Texas. During the 1850s, Mexican and Tejano carreteros hauled goods by ox cart from Gulf Coast ports to towns like San Antonio. But their success made them targets. Learn how transportation, business rivalry, and questions of belonging turned a dusty Texas road into a dangerous chapter of history.
