Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 97: What Is A Mission?
 
Before it was a world-famous battle site, and before it was called the Alamo, the land we know today was a humble Spanish Mission - a place to expand an empire – through faith and education.
 
We reveal what is a mission: why they moved around, how San Antonio came to have so many, and the legacy of people who called our missions home. Featuring the Alamo's Senior Historian Ernesto Rodriguez.
