Her daughter's death is so sad, but at least she finally found a man who loved her as she deserved.

At least for this woman, she had a happy ending. <br /><br />What a cougar! That made me laugh. She really must have been a very special woman.E.Ayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338305018025847649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-41666049813657664162017-05-26T13:02:30.187-05:002017-05-26T13:02:30.187-05:00Susanna's story is a familiar one.

I remember the cat's eye ring story, and the fact that Santa Anna wanted to adopt the child.<br />I have read some controversy--or disputing--of calling Susanna a survivor of the Alamo. I suppose it's how others wanted to view the incident. Probably, if Santa Anna hadn't been a bit enamored with her, she would have died in the Alamo...or we can surmise.<br />One thing I did not know, though, was how many times she'd been married. That in itself is astounding.<br />Thanks for the intriguing full story of Susanna Dickerson...or whichever way anyone wants to spell it.<br />Wonderful post.<br /><br /><br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-74110878626019682842017-05-26T10:09:18.196-05:002017-05-26T10:09:18.196-05:00Susanna certainly kissed a lot of frogs before she...Susanna certainly kissed a lot of frogs before she found her prince. After all she'd been through and endured I'm glad she found happiness in the end.<br />I can't help but think at least Santa Anna had some ethics, giving money and a blanket to the female survivors and their children. Honestly, I don't think that would happen in these modern times.<br />What an interesting article, Caroline. I enjoyed reading this bit of Texas history.<br />I wish you great success with LORRAINE.Sarah J. McNealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749991094677728042noreply@blogger.com
