April Quarterly Meeting
Stephen Hardin
April 23, 2026 | 6:30-8 PM

For the Spring Quarterly Meeting, the Bastrop County Historical Society is honored to welcome acclaimed Texas author Stephen L. Hardin as our featured presenter.

 

You don't want to miss this rare opportunity to hear Dr. Hardin share insights into his research process, the stories behind his writing, and speak about his latest publication, Texian Exodus. Following the presentation, guests will have the opportunity to meet the author and have their books signed. Books will be available for purchase in the Museum Store before and during the event.

 

The event is free and open to everyone, but space is limited, so reserve your spot on the museum website.

 

You can also enter to win a framed replica of an 1836 Texas map and signed copies of Dr. Hardin's Texian Exodus and Texian Iliad. Buy your tickets today in person at the museum or over the phone (512-303-0904).

 

Dr. Stephen L. Hardin is a specialist in Texas, military, and social history. His extensive body of work includes the award-winning Texian Iliad: A Military History of the Texas Revolution and, more recently, Texian Exodus, the only academic book dedicated to the Runaway Scrape in which Bastrop County played a huge role. In addition to his writing and teaching, Dr. Hardin has appeared as a historical expert on the A&E Network, the History Channel, the Discovery Network, and NBC’s Today show. He was elected a Fellow of the Texas State Historical Association in 2009. He will also serve as a keynote speaker at the prestigious Texas Revolution Rendezvous in San Antonio, hosted by the Texas State Historical Association.
