Santa Anna's Army in the Texas Revolution; 1835 with Gregg J. Dimmick

Dr. Dimmick will be presenting an in-depth discussion on his newly released book, Santa Anna's Army in the Texas Revolution: 1835, which serves as the first volume in a comprehensive three-part series. His research primarily draws from Mexican archival sources, offering fresh insights into this pivotal period in Texas history. During his presentation, Dr. Dimmick will explore many of the rare and previously untranslated documents featured in his bookmaterials that have not been previously published in standard Texas history sources. These documents shed new light on the composition, strategy, and operations of Santa Annas forces during the early stages of the Texas Revolution. This event will provide a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the conflict from the perspective of Mexican military records, offering a more nuanced and historically rich view of the events of 1835. Attendees will have the chance to engage with Dr. Dimmick and ask questions about his research process and findings.
