Battle of San Jacinto Symposium 2013 - April 13, 2013

[txmapsociety]

The 13th annual Battle of San Jacinto Symposium examines how the eastern boundary of Texas established by the Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819 influenced settlement in Texas -- and ultimately the separation of Texas from Mexico during the Texas Revolution -- and how the 1836 battle of San Jacinto influenced the establishment of the Rio Grande as the western Texas boundary followed by the loss of claims to eastern New Mexico in 1850. You are invited to hear preeminent United States, Texan and Mexican historians discuss the latest scholarship and divergent perspectives on how wars, treaties, controversies, and compromises from 1819 to 1850 resulted in the modern borders of this uniquely shaped piece of real estate we call Texas.
