Dr. de la Teja spoke to a standing room only audience. Some of the attendees came from as far away as Conroe, Free Port, Bay City and Corpus Christy. As usual Dr. de la Teja was remarkly imformative with a flare for speaking and making the reading of his material as interesting as if he were telling the story for the first time. He captures not only your attention but your mind as well.
It would be difficult at best to try and repeat 1/10th of what information he shared with the very attentive audience.
His presentation included the film clip titled, "Revolution". The film is part of the Bob Bullock Museum. It depicts the experience
of the battles of the Revolution through the eyes of Juan Seguin, a Tejano military and political leader as well as a Texas hero.
The Texas Revolution Series was sponsored by grants from the Texas Council for the Humanities, a state program of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Trube Foundation, the Galveston Historical Foundation, and the Friends of the Rosenberg Library.
J. Frank de la Teja - Professor, History, Southwest Texas State University. Ph.D., University of Texas. His books include "A Revolution Remembered; the Memoirs and Selected Correspondence of Juan N. Seguin".
Each time de la Teja speaks on one of our favorite subjects he manages to bring to light another facet of Seguin's life.
Thank you Dr. de la Teja for your tireless dedication.
