Episode 99: The Republic Of Texas Navy

Wee reveal the humble origins of the Texas Navy, the expensive yet effective efforts to bolster the seafaring force, and how a power struggle between its commander and a war-hero president culminated in a voyage to the Navy’s final battle. Featuring author and independent historian Jonathan Jordan.
