Texana Tales, from Fletcher Clark

Texana Tales, from Fletcher Clark These Texana Tales of early Texas are presented in song, verse, and narrative. They would move to Austin ultimately to become prosperous and respected.

Songs of Susanna follows Susanna (nee Wilkerson) in her travels from Tennessee to Gonzales, Texas, with her husband Almeron Dickinson, who would become a fallen hero at the Alamo. As Messenger of the Alamo, she carried Santa Anna’s demand for capitulation to General Sam Houston, who then prepared his Texian army to join in the 'Runaway Scrape'. After victory at San Jacinto, she found herself widow

ed and penniless with her infant daughter Angelina, Babe of the Alamo. Unskilled and illiterate, she would marry three more men in Houston, seeking in vain that husband who would keep her and her daughter happy and secure. Moving to Lockhart, she would marry her fifth husband, a young German immigrant half her age. Runaway Scrape focuses on the frenzied flight of Texian families before the advancing armies of cruel Santa Anna. The Great Comanche Raid recounts the tale of the last great move by this most powerful tribe against the inexorable advance of white civilization. Fletcher Clark and Donaly Brice present these programs to historical groups and societies throughout Texas.
