The Angel of Goliad
Collective historical memory is not always based in fact. Take the example that Napoleon was short. Apparently, he was about 5’7′ — which was very average for the time. You might call these historical myths.
Other bits of history appear in historical records but are similarly hard to nail down. Texas Standard Commentator W.F. Strong explores one.
Stories from Texas is a listener-supported production of KUT & KUTX Studios in Austin, Texas. You can help make this podcast happen by donating at supportthispodcast.org.
