Susanna Dickinson is one of the most legendary women in
Texas history. Married to Captain
Almaron Dickinson, she and her infant daughter Angelina were among the few
survivors of the Battle of the Alamo.
General Santa Anna was impressed with Dickinson and even offered to
adopt Angelina and have her educated in Mexico. Santa Anna eventually released
Dickinson and her daughter so she could spread word of his victory and tell the
story of the Alamo.
Noted Texas author, Rita Kerr tells Susannah
Dickinson’s story in this fictional biography that gives juvenile readers an
inside account of the Alamo and life in early Texas.
