Rangers of the Revolution
On Tuesday, November 15 at 6 p.m., author Stephen Moore will discuss the evolution of the fabled Texas Rangers and their role in the Texas Revolution. They protected remote settlements, scouted for the Texas Army, fought the Comanches, perished at the Alamo, and fought at San Jacinto. Through his research for the Savage Frontier series and Texas Rising, he’s uncovered information about the Rangers that was previously unreported.

On Tuesday, October 18 at noon Dr. Ken Hafertepe will present “The Painted Churches of Texas: A New View”
This beautifully illustrated talk will throw new light on the famous “painted churches of Texas.” In 1983 a National Register of Historic Places thematic nomination increased awareness and appreciation of these churches, which were built and decorated between 1890 and 1920. These churches were built for German and Czech immigrants, but the architects were largely from San Antonio – notably Leo M. J. Dielmann and James Wahrenberger – as were many contractors and the painters. In this talk Dr. Haftertepe will introduce the listener to Bohuslav Lacian, Godfrey Flury, Fred Donecker, and Ferdinand Stockert, who painted some of the most important examples.
