- **Event Description**: The Angel of Goliad and the Texas Revolution with Dan Alvarez Garza 
After discovering in 1988 that he was a direct descendant of the Angel of Goliad, the speaker spent more than three decades conducting in-depth research to uncover her true identity and life story. That work culminated in his recent book on Francisca Alvarez, following years of writing and historical storytelling, including works inspired by Texas history. His research and findings have been presented across Texas at historic sites, genealogical societies, and cultural organizations, including Presidio La Bahía with support from the Texas Historical Commission. This lecture, The Mystery of the Angel of Goliad Francisca Alvarez, explores how modern research tools finally revealed the woman behind the legend. Attendees will learn how Francisca, abducted as a toddler and unaware of her true name during the Texas Revolution, played a critical role in saving more than 100 soldiers. The presentation examines primary sources, battle locations, her relationships with Native communities and key historical figures, the discovery of her real name through her sons records, and her final resting place at King Ranch, bringing clarity and humanity to one of Texas historys most enduring mysteries.
