Join us for a distinguished evening in our Speaker Series, featuring acclaimed historian and author Dr. Paul Spellman, as he presents: “The Old 300: Who Were They Really?”
In this engaging talk, Dr. Spellman will delve into the dramatic saga of the first 300 families who ventured into Mexican Texas as part of Stephen F. Austin’s Colony. Drawing from his celebrated book, The Old 300: Gone to Texas—a finalist for the 2015 Will Rogers Medallion Award—he explores the diverse origins, motivations, and legacies of these early Texas settlers in vivid and compelling detail.
