There were at least 18 women and children that survived the Battle of the Alamo. Most of them were found in the church after the battle. The women were given a blanket and two pesos. They were then allowed to leave. They are responsible for spreading the word that the Alamo had fallen. After this news spread, men began to rally to the cause and the Texian Army grew.
