Charles Edward Hawkins, namesake of the Hawkins Squadron, is best remembered today as the senior officer of the Texian Navy during and immediately after the Texas Revolution. But Hawkins’ service to the Texas Republic was only the final chapter in a career full of adventure, violence, and tragedy that was remarkable even in those turbulent days. Join us on January 5 in Galveston to learn more about Charles Hawkins’ unconventional and controversial past.
