Interview with Jordan Cash, Adding the Lone Star

Interview with Jordan Cash, Adding the Lone Star

Year(s) Discussed: 1790-1863

In this episode, I am joined by historian Jordan Cash to discuss two pivotal figures in the push for Texas annexation: Sam Houston and John Tyler. Each dealt with unique challenges in their respective roles as president to get the Americans and Texians to agree to the Lone Star Republic becoming the 28th state of the Union. More information can be found on the website at https://www.presidenciespodcast.com.

Special thanks to Jordan Cash for his time and insight provided for this episode, and be sure to get a copy of his book, Adding the Lone Star: John Tyler, Sam Houston, and the Annexation of Texas
