Weapons and Wounds of the Texas Revolution

Join Dr. Richard Bruce Winders for an in-depth exploration of the weaponry used during the Texas Revolution. Drawing from the technology of 18th- and 19th-century warfare, Dr. Winders will examine the arms carried into battle and the devastating injuries they inflicted. His presentation will also shed light on the harsh realities of wound treatment during this era, answering the compelling question: What was it really like to be wounded by these so-called “antiquated” weapons of war?
