Battle of Medina–207th Anniversary

August 18, 2020 marks the 207th anniversary of Texas’ most deadly battle–the Battle of Medina. In “normal” times, we would have gathered underneath the old, large oak tree off Applewhite Road in north Atascosa County to recognize, honor and pay tribute to those who participated in the first Texas revolution.

This year there was no gathering. Safety concerns were at the forefront of all concerned due to COVID-19. The oak tree-gathering and subsequent symposium were cancelled. We will not let COVID spoil all. Here I am sharing with you the 2016 presentation I gave at the Battle of Medina Symposium. I hope you enjoy the presentation and learn a little about some of the participants associated with the 1813 Battle of Medina. Click on the YouTube link below the graphic to view the presentation.
