Presidential Leadership Lessons is a podcast hosted by Tom Fox. This continues a four-part series on leadership lessons not from US Presidents but from Presidents from the Republic of Texas from 1836 to 1845. In this series, I am joined by Don Frazier, head of the Texas Center at Schreiner University in Kerrville, TX, to discuss the four Presidents who led Texas when it was a country. In this third episode, we discuss Mirabeau B. Lamar.

We delve into the life of Mirabeau B. Lamar and his political journey. Lamar was the second fully elected president of the Republic of Texas and was known for a battlefield promotion from private to colonel. During his presidency, Lamar carried out policies for a stand-alone Texas and moved the capital from Houston to a more remote location, which is now Austin. Don also shares the origin story of the Wichita people, immigrants from the Kansas region. As President, Lamar faced financial turmoil in office due to the need to reconstitute an army and navy and lease boats to the Yucatan. Lastly, Don also speaks of the battle of Salado, where many Texans were killed.
