Did I hear you correctly in this episode that Guadalupe, at this time in Texas history, was pronounced "Waterloo?" If so, does that mean Austin = Waterloo = Guadalupe? And thank you, of course, for the great podcast. As someone who moved here as an adult, it's great to have this resource to learn about the state where I've now spent more than half my life.
Stumbled on you this evening for the first time. Great stuff. Have some 'binging' ahead to look forward to.
Well researched and delivered. Enjoyed it.

Waterloo was the name of the settlement that came to be named Austin. The early Texians pronounced “Guadalupe” as “warloop”
