Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 90: Money In The Republic Of Texas
 
"Follow the money." That familiar motto of investigative journalists is also the credo of numismatists: people who study coins and currency.
 
We combine both skill sets to reveal the financial system of the Republic of Texas, how the struggle for independence was financed, and why Texas coffers never recovered from the heavy price of freedom. Featuring independent author and historian James Bevill.
