I teach American history in a college in Central Texas. The vast majority of text books that I have used here and in Laredo,Texas do not mention Galvez.
Texas education is held hostage by a certain political party that has made a concerted effort to "white wash" both national and state history in our state's textbooks at all age levels. They have encouraged our text books to minimize the contributions of minority figures.

This is why it is important to have minorities such as myself teaching. I include both women and significant minority history makers in my lectures and class assignments. I also make the students see them again on the tests and exams so that they know they have to learn about these people.

Are your children learning that a Spanish/Latino/creole army and navy ran the British out of most of what became the southern U.S. during the Revolutionary War?  Check their U.S. history books!  If the index doesn't list  ?Galvez? and the ?Siege of Pensacola? write your school board!

Any book that lists Lafayette but not Galvez is distorting history. IMO.

Research Digest, Vol 115,

That is neat that your a history teacher in Texas. Do the text books mention the time period of Nuevo Espana (Mexico). A Conde of A Hacienda in Zacatecas, Mexico by the name of "Don Fernando De La Campa y Cos (1676 - 1734) had financed expeditions from Zacatecas to Texas where he had paid 70,000 pesos. His youngest daughter "Juliana De La Campa" was married to Capitan Juan Olivan Rebolledo who was elected Governor of Texas in 1723 by the Real Audencia of Guadalajara.
