"Fantastic reading for Texas history buffs. General Thomas Jefferson Rusk could not have said it better. "The men of Texas deserve much credit, but more so is due the women. Armed men facing a foe could not but be brave; but the women, with their little children around them, without means of defense or power to resist, faced danger and death with unflinching courage." A true story written in a creative nonfiction way that explores women and their escape to the Sabine River during the Runaway Scrape, ahead of Santa Anna."
