The Mother of Texas? Jane Long's Survival on Bolivar Peninsula

  • Resumen

  • Jane Long’s journey to the Texas frontier is a testament to resilience and survival. In 1821, pregnant and alone at a remote fort on Bolivar Peninsula, she endured freezing conditions, hunted for food after childbirth, and even fired cannons to keep threats at bay. Her story weaves through Texas legend, from a rumored meeting with pirate Jean Lafitte to running a boarding house for revolutionaries. Though not the “Mother of Texas” by birthright, her legacy of determination and independence endures.
