Episode 74: The Runaway Scrape
The Alamo has fallen. Panic grips the frontier. People of all ages, all walks of life – from landowners to shopkeepers, family men to politicians – flee their homes with little more than the clothes on their backs and what they can carry, struggling to beat the Mexican Army east.
We reveal the origins of the Runaway Scrape, the desperate conditions its refugees encountered on flooded roads, and how this fight for survival helped forge the Texas identity now recognized around the world. Featuring historian and professor Dr. Stephen Hardin, author of the new book "Texian Exodus."
