Over Talking Texas History

Talking Texas History explores Texas history before and beyond the Alamo. Hosted by Scott Sosebee and Gene Preuss, we talk with folks with a passion for Texas history, teach it, write it, support it, and with some who’ve made it. Our guests will include people who make Texas history accessible to the public (including academic historians, public historians, archivists, living history practitioners, and history enthusiasts) and will discuss new work, research, and our passion for local history.

Texas Documents, Part 6: Keeping the American Promise

We complete our series on documents that made Texas history by looking a  president who was full of contradictions and still could tell the truth at exactly the right moment. Lyndon B. Johnson’s March 15, 1965 address to Congress, “The American Promise,” delivered in the shadow of Selma and months before the Voting Rights Act of 1965 becomes law. If you’ve never read “The American Promise,” click the link below to read the text and watch the video.

Texas Documents, Part 5: The Cleburne Demands II

In this episode Scott and Gene wrap up their conversation on the Farmer's Demands.  Farmers wanted company workers to get paid in real money instead of company scrip, stop railroad rebates that favored the rich and powerful of their day, end convict leasing, and force the country to look honestly at wages and living conditions. That sounds like a modern platform, but it’s Texas history and it’s rooted in the 1886 Cleburne meeting of the Farmers Alliances. We pick up the last demands from the Cleburne platform and unpack what they were really aiming at: making American politics answer to working people when corporations and concentrated wealth feel untouchable. Many of these ideas we associate with Progressivism, New Deal liberalism, and a stronger federal role in the economy grow out of this Populist revolt.   If you enjoy smart, grounded conversations about Texas history before and beyond the Alamo, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.

Texas Documents, Part 3: John H. Reagan and The Future Texas Refused

As we continue our look at important documents in Texas' past, John H. Reagan's letter of 1865: the Civil War was lost, secession was finished, slavery was over, and survival meant embracing a new order. We unpack John H. Reagan’s prison letter—its stark realism, its calls for legal protections for freedpeople, and its blueprint for rebuilding Texas through reconciliation, immigration, and industry—and place it against the charged backdrop of early Reconstruction. If you value history grounded in documents rather than myths, this conversation opens a sharper lens on Reconstruction, Texas history, and the choices made—and refused—after 1865. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves Texas history, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway or question.
