Part of a single 26.5 hour university-level course lecture, this video can be viewed at The Portal to Texas History which also contains a searchable transcript. An ideal way to take a deep dive into the content for educators new to the subject.

Two versions of this video are available: the original recording with a fixed camera on the stage, and an American Sign Language interpretation with a picture-in-picture view of the slides.
