September 10, 2016 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm

Center for Texas Studies Director, Dr. Gene Allen Smith, will describe his journey as he follows the trail a Frenchman in Louisiana into Spanish Texas through the Spanish Archivo de Indies http://www.mecd.gob.es/cultura-mecd/en/areas-cultura/archivos.html. It is far more than tapas, cervezas, and wonderful jamon iberico.
