March 6, 2019 - March has been declared "Texas History Month" by the Texas Legislature. In observation of Alamo Heroes Day, March 6, the William Carroll Crawford Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas presented a book, "Susanna of the Alamo," to the Fannie Brown Booth Library in Center. "Susanna" was Susanna Wilkerson Dickinson who, along with her infant daughter Angelina, were among the women and children who survived the battle of the Alamo. After the fall of the Alamo they were allowed to go to Sam Houston and spread the word of the battle. "Remember the Alamo" became the rallying call of the Texians as they continued the battle for independence. Presenting the book to Library Director Sandra Davis were DRT members Merle Howard, Vickie Martin, JJ Ford and Maggie Casto.
