#TexasHistory FAns: Did you see our post on Friday about Gregg J. Dimmick's upcoming new book, Santa Anna's Army in the Texas Revolution, 1835? You have a chance to hear him talk about this exciting new research and more at the #SanJacintoBattlegroundMuseum on Saturday, 11/8!
In the upper left hand side of the graphic are the words Coming Soon November 2025. Underneath that is the book cover with the title "Santa Anna's Army in the Texas Revolution" by Gregg Dimmick. On the cover is a hand drawn image of a Mexica Soldier from 1835. Under the cover is the Texas A&M University Press logo. The right side of the image has a partial image of a handwritten document signed by Santa Anna and the front and back images of a Mexican coin.
The Mexican Army’s activity in the #TexasRevolution is well documented but often hidden away. Many documents were shelved in the back rooms of museums & libraries scattered across Spain, Mexico, & the US. Few documents have been translated into English--until now. bit.ly/47EiYUQ
Marilyn Melcher Maddox was on KBTX Media last week to discuss her new book about her #Aggie father, Robert Lee Melcher, who was a #GermanTexan officer in the #USArmy during #WorldWarII. Listen to her discuss how it came together & and find out where to get a copy of this popular book for yourself!
In 1977, Norma Schreiner dropped by the Austin office of TX house member Jim Nugent. He bellowed, ‘Norma, come in here. There’s someone I want you to meet.’” So began the tempestuous yet good-natured relationship between Norma & "Charlie Three," scion of the historic ranching family. bit.ly/492ri39

Author Allen J. Wiener recently appeared on the #UnscaledTravelShow to talk all things #DavyCrockett. Why did Davy Crockett ultimately come to #Texas? What unfortunate circumstances led to this decision? Wiener explores this and more in his book David Crockett in Texas: His Search for New Land.
Nancy Swift Furlotti’s examination of K’iche’ Maya creation mythology fills a gap in Jungian literature, offering a juxtaposition with the Western scientific-rationalistic views that typified psychological inquiry for the past two-and-a-half centuries.
