The Texas Hillstory Podcast

Nearly 200,000 Texans fought in The Great War (known today as World War I). In this episode, we discuss the M.A.I.N. causes of the war - Militarism, Alliance System, Imperialism, Nationalism and we discuss the Zimmerman Telegram. The main topic however, is the incredible true story of Daniel R. Edwards, who up to that point, was the only American to ever receive the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Cross on the same day.
