Beskrivning

The story of the battle of the Alamo is one that Texans learn practically from birth, and the rallying cry “Remember the Alamo” resonates throughout American history. Anyone who visits the sacred shrine in San Antonio, Texas, also sees how little is left to remember. But what they don’t often learn is that the site was once almost lost to development when two women, Adina de Zavala and Clara Driscoll, stepped in to save it and ignited the Second Battle of the Alamo.
