Description

In the spring of 1836, as armies moved across Texas, so did something else—fear.

In this episode of The Texan Edge, Tweed Scott steps away from the generals and into the lives of ordinary families caught in the chaos of war. The Runaway Scrape wasn’t a battle—it was a desperate flight for survival. Wagons creaked through mud, families left everything behind, and uncertainty hung heavy in the air.

But even in the middle of fear, something powerful emerged: resilience, community, and quiet courage.
