Jeff Parsons came to Texas as a slave with George and Fannie Sutherland when he
was nine years old in 1830. This episode focuses on his memories that he shared
with the Galveston Daily News. His tale is filled with vivid accounts of the
Runaway Scrape and life in early Texas. In addition, this episode shares a
letter that Fannie Sutherland wrote to her sister concerning the death of her
son, William, at the Alamo, and the events of the Runaway Scrape. If you are
