Women Revealed
(in the writings of Texians)
Texian Women-----------------Women of Mexico
Aboriginal Women------------DeWitt Colony Ladies....men are animated by love of adventure, desire for wealth or fame....female pioneers are sustained alone by the strength of their devotion to others.--Adele Briscoe Looscan
The men of Texas deserved much credit, but more was due the women......who faced danger and death with unflinching courage---Thomas RuskThere is a great deal said about daring deeds done by men on the frontier, but let me here say, some of the most daring deeds that have been done were done by the heroines as well as heroes of the early settlers of Texas--
Captain William Banta There is no one who can do justice to the women at that time.
God bless the women of Texas!--S.F. Sparks
