Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 153: The U.S. And Mexico At War - Part 1

Shortly after Texas joined the United States, the U.S. and Mexico went to war: a two-year military conflict, decades in the making, with repercussions that are still felt today.
 
We reveal the two rivers in the crosshairs of a border dispute, why war broke out, and how a Mexican figure so central to the Alamo story once again takes up arms over Texas. Featuring the Alamo's former curator Dr. Bruce Winders and Dr. Don Frazier from the Texas Center.
