In The Shadow Of The Alamo is a historical novel written by Clara Driscoll and published in 1906. The book is set in San Antonio, Texas, in the mid-19th century and follows the lives of a group of characters who are caught up in the events leading up to and following the famous battle of the Alamo in 1836.The story centers around the character of Don Carlos Buenaventura, a wealthy landowner and patriot who is deeply committed to the cause of Texas independence. As the Mexican army marches towards San Antonio, Don Carlos and his fellow patriots must decide whether to fight for their freedom or flee the city.The book also features a number of other characters, including Don Carlos' daughter, Carmelita, who is torn between her love for a Mexican soldier and her loyalty to her father and her country. There is also a young American soldier, Jack, who is sent to San Antonio to help defend the Alamo and finds himself caught up in the conflict.Throughout the book, Driscoll provides a vivid and detailed portrayal of life in San Antonio during this tumultuous period in Texas history. She explores the complex relationships between the different groups of people who lived in the city, including Mexicans, Texans, and Americans, and shows how their loyalties and beliefs were tested by the events of the time.Overall, In The Shadow Of The Alamo is a gripping and engaging historical novel that offers a fascinating insight into the lives of the people who lived through one of the most significant events in Texas history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
