In The Shadow Of The Alamo (1906) Hardback - 2009

In The Shadow Of The Alamo is a historical fiction novel written by Clara Driscoll and published in 1906. The story is set in San Antonio, Texas, during the 1830s and 1840s, a time of great change and conflict in the region. The book follows the lives of several characters, including a young American woman named Mary Austin, a Mexican soldier named Juan Seguin, and a Native American woman named Tuleta. As the story unfolds, these characters find themselves caught up in the struggle for Texas independence, as well as the larger issues of race, gender, and identity that shape their lives. Through their experiences, the novel explores the complex history of the region and the people who lived there, from the indigenous tribes who first inhabited the land to the Spanish colonizers who established the missions, to the American settlers who eventually claimed Texas as their own. With vivid descriptions of the landscape, the culture, and the politics of the time, In The Shadow Of The Alamo is a compelling and thought-provoking work of historical fiction that sheds light on a crucial period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
