Please join us for an online Featured Friday Event: Inside the Texas Revolution - The Enigmatic Memoir of Herman Ehrenberg, presented by Dr. James Crisp (professor emeritus at North Carolina State University). Herman Ehrenberg wrote the most complete and vivid memoir of any soldier in the Texas Revolution. But some of what he said was not true. And he wrote it in German, with a message about the Texas Revolution to fellow Germans in Europe. This Virtual Featured Friday Series Event is free and everyone is welcome! For more information, or to register, please call Deer Park Public Library at 281-478-7208 or email library@deerparktx.org.
