Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 28: The Maverick Family Legacy

Texas is a state of mind - an independent mind. An attitude that can be traced back to San Antonio’s pioneers, and one man in particular: Samuel Augustus Maverick, a name that today describes that Texas state of mind.

Today we reveal Maverick’s deep roots at the Alamo – he was here during the Siege, and he returned after the Battle – plus the cannons he unearthed and preserved for the historic record, and the legacy the Maverick family builds upon today to Remember The Alamo. Featuring Maverick descendant Kenneth Maverick from Maverick Whiskey, and the Alamo's Senior Researcher & Historian Kolby Lanham.
