The Second Battle of the Alamo
How Two Women Saved Texas's Most Famous Landmark
Ebook (EPUB Format)

By 1900, the tale of the 300 Texians who died in the 1836 battle of the Alamo had already become legend. But to corporate interests in the growing City of San Antonio, the land where that blood was shed was merely a desirable plot of land across the street from new restaurants and hotels, with only a few remaining crumbling buildings to tell the tale. When two women, Adina Emilia De Zavala, the granddaughter of the first vice-president of the Texas Republic, and Clara Driscoll, the daughter of one of Texas's most prominent ranch families and first bankers, learned of the plans, they hatched a plan to preserve the site-and in doing so, they reinvigorated both the legend and lore of the Alamo and cemented the site's status as hallowed ground. These two strong-willed, pioneering women were very different, but the story of how they banded together and how the Alamo became what it is today despite those differences, is compelling reading for those interested in Texas history and Texas's larger-than-life personality.
