Book Reviews of True Women

Book Review: An Excellent Read
Summary: 5 Stars

Although this book was written over a decade ago, it's an enduring story that is a must-read for anyone who lives in or visits Texas. Set in the Gonzales and Seguin regions of the state, the true-life events unfold through the eyes of the people who lived them. Even more amazing is the fact that these are the author's ancestors.

As a Californian, I knew about the sad events that took place at the Alamo (San Antonio, TX), but I didn't know much about Texas history. After reading True Women, however, my interest was piqued. I recently made a trip to the San Antonio area to visit Seguin and Gonzales, and took the "True Women Tour" to see the places described in the book. These were amazing women who lived through difficult times, and it was a pleasure to see their homes, the site where Sam Houston gathered the Texans to fight against Santa Anna's troops, and to visit the heroes' and heroines' grave sites in and around the Seguin area.
