Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 91: Weapons & Wounds
A famous painting by William Henry Huddle depicts what happened after the Texas victory at San Jacinto. Santa Anna has surrendered. Sam Houston is negotiating the terms while lying on the ground with a bandaged leg, his tibia bone shattered by a musket ball.
We reveal how battle wounds were treated during the Texas Revolution, the types of wounds that resulted from weapons of the time, and why it’s important that history remembers how battlefield medicine was practiced. Featuring the Alamo's former curator Dr. Bruce Winders.
