Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 107: The Alamo’s Quartermaster Depot Era
As we approach Veterans Day here in the United States, we’re celebrating the Alamo’s strong ties to the U.S. Army. When Texas joined the United States in 1845, the Alamo served as an Army outpost and depot for the next 30 years.
We reveal the indelible mark the U.S. Army left on the Alamo, how the Alamo witnessed both the nation’s manifest destiny and its darkest days, and how the Alamo continues to remember our longstanding partnership with the Army. Featuring the Alamo's Senior Researcher & Historian Kolby Lanham.
