Prepare to become acquainted with tow Spaniards, Bernardo De Galvez and Jose De Evia. One man is an unsung hero of the American Revolutionary War and the other is responsible for naming Galveston Bay. This episode takes us on a journey through the life and times of these lesser-known figures. We reveal significant contributions from Galvez's early days as a teenage soldier in Europe, the Americas, and North Africa to his pivotal role as Governor of Spanish-controlled Louisiana. We take a look at his masterful orchestration of transporting essential supplies to American colonists, his evasion of British blockades, and his keen strategic attacks on British forts that laid the groundwork for a shift in the American Revolution. We shift our focus to the mapping of the Gulf and the influence of Jose de Evia's mission where he was ordered to map nearly the entire Gulf Coast of the modern-day United States and named Galveston Bay.
