When Goudeau, a seventh-generation Texan, began exploring her family’s history, she found the family’s relationship to Texas more complicated than she thought.

From a swindling land grant agent in the early days of Anglo settlement that brought slavery to Mexican land, up through her Texas Ranger great-uncle, who helped a sociopathic sheriff cover up mass murder, Goudeau offers an eye-opening exploration of national and personal myths in We Were Illegal.

Update 7/10/24: This event is confirmed to be happening after Hurricane Beryl. Check with the organizer for any further updates.
