Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 33: The Women Who Saved The Alamo
History remembers the men who fought in the Battle of the Alamo - looming figures like Crockett, Travis, and Bowie. But we also must shine a light on the women who told their stories and ensured, centuries later, we continue to tell their stories.
Today we reveal how Clara Driscoll and Adina De Zavala - two women from different walks of life - joined forces to save the Alamo Church and Long Barrack, the battles they faced along the way, and how they changed the face of what would become known across the world as the Alamo City. Featuring the Alamo's Senior Curator, Historian & Lecturer Ernesto Rodriguez.
