Episode 41: Presidential Connections To The Alamo
The recent Independence Day in the United States creates a time of reflection. The country is 248 years old. Texas has been apart of it for about 179 years.
Today we reveal all the U.S. Presidents who have been to the Alamo or impacted its history: the speeches they gave, the photos they took, and how their connections here have continued the site's enduring legacy. Featuring the Alamo's Researcher Thomas Ledesma.
