History Under the Star Lecture Series: Gender and the Runaway Scrape with Linda English
The "Runaway Scrape," as it was called, denotes a particularly dire period for the Texas revolutionaries and their families. Elderly men, women, children, and enslaved persons left behind on plantations and small farms responded to the revolution by joining the retreat, essentially "running" for their lives. Drawing from my upcoming book, Running for Your Lives! Gender and the Runaway Scrape, this lecture details the period known as the Runaway Scrape through the lens of gender.
