JOHN W. STORMONT LECTURE: Spain and the American Revolution
Presented by Blanche De León

De León is an avid researcher of genealogy and history related to the founding family and the Victoria region. In this presentation, she discusses Spain’s involvement in the American Revolution with an emphasis on Texas ranchers, particularly those of Victoria, who are recognized Patriots.
