Echoes from Women of the Alamo

What you need to know before your trail

Many books have been written about the Alamo and the heroes who died there; lore on the battle and the heroes is endless. However, very little has been written, and much of it wrong, about the women who survived that tragic and historic event in 1836 including Susanna Dickinson and her daughter Angelina. Even less has been published about the lives of the two major contestants, Adina De Zavala and Clara Driscoll, in another “battle” from 1905 to 1910, a dispute known as the “Second Battle of the Alamo”, over the convento/”long barracks” building and the Alamo “Chapel” as it was called then. Some say it hasn’t ended yet.
