>> Few people know that Texas (as Provence of New Spain) played a most
>> important part in winning the American Revolution. It could be argued
>> that without Texas' help, we would be driving on the wrong side of
>> the road in America today. This talk opens a whole new perspective
>> into the War for American Independence and related issues lost from
>> the school history books.

>> Jack Cowan is a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and lectures on
>> forgotten early American history subjects such as The First
>> Presidents and The Texas Connection to the American Revolution. He is
>> a member and past president of the Sons of the American Revolution
>> (San Antonio Chapter) and founder of the Texas Connection to the
>> American Revolution Association and has done
>> extensive studies in American History.
