The Saint Patrick’s Battalion & the Mexican-American War
March 7
Celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day by joining public historian Alex La Pierre for a compelling presentation that explores the dramatic story of the Batallón de San Patricio- a group of mostly Irish immigrants who fought alongside Mexico during the U.S.-Mexican War of 1846-1848.
This engaging talk examines the battalion’s complex motivations, moral convictions, and enduring legacy as a symbol of cross-cultural solidarity and resistance in the shared history of the borderlands.
