Del Robertson

Del Robertson writes historical fiction that restores women to familiar accounts of the American past. Remember Me follows Sarah Lindley and Buckshot Bailey Bowen as their relationship develops during the thirteen-day siege of the Alamo. Robertson has explained that childhood visits to the San Antonio landmark prompted questions about the women who were present but rarely centered in popular retellings. The novel answers that interest through a long-form wartime romance, combining documented setting with fictional protagonists and a sapphic love story. Remember Me appeared in 2023 and runs to more than seven hundred pages in its listed digital edition. Robertson's discussion of the book emphasizes both historical research and the decision to portray Bailey in roles commonly assigned to men, including ranching and frontier work. The result aligns the author's interest in overlooked lives with an expansive treatment of a heavily mythologized event.
