Warriors of the Lone Star: The Horse Marines
http://warriorsofthelonestar.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-horse-marines_52.html
Sunday, November 16, 2014. General John B. Magruder. Manpower was low to nonexistent on the Texas home front, but not entirely unavailable. Worn but rested after a disastrous campaign in New Mexico, the 5th and 7th Texas cavalry regiments were about to be dispatched to Louisiana. Instead, Magruder rerouted them to Houston. Now he needed a navy. Posted by Don Barnhart. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Colony, Texas, United States. Montague County Tales and Trails Museum. North South Trader Magazine.

Warriors of the Lone Star: Hell Post
http://warriorsofthelonestar.blogspot.com/2015/06/hell-post.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Few Civil War forts could match the miserable conditions at Arkansas Post. Located on the Arkansas River, about 25 miles from its mouth on the Mississippi, the crude Confederate fortress was built at the site of an old French trading post. Despite its strategic location in the rich Arkansas River Valley, nearby swamps were a welcome host for disease, mosquitoes, and insufferable humidity. The fort hospital was crammed daily with the sick and dying. Dismounted cavalry were actual...

Warriors of the Lone Star: Films
http://warriorsofthelonestar.blogspot.com/p/films.html
The best and most graphic Civil War movie I’ve seen, especially the scenes of the 54. Regiment's doomed assault on Battery Wagner. This movie does a superb job of presenting the contributions of African American troops and the struggles they faced within the Union Army. A definite must see and a good educational tool. Gone With the Wind (1939). Ride with the Devil (1999). Drums in the Deep South (1951). A fun Civil War B-movie. A Confederate artillery unit tries to hold off Sherman’s advance by...A short...

Warriors of the Lone Star: Black Springs Mystery Fort
http://warriorsofthelonestar.blogspot.com/2015/05/black-springs-mystery-fort_16.html
Saturday, May 16, 2015. Black Springs Mystery Fort. Today, on the grounds of the Palo Pinto County Museum, sits a three story, centuries old mystery; a sandstone structure that local historians describe as being a fort or block house – perhaps a handy sanctuary against Comanche raids. Like a communal storm shelter, families, cavalrymen, rangers and their faithful steeds could gather inside and hopefully weather out a raging war party. There was no surrender, only a slow gory death if you did. The three s...

Warriors of the Lone Star: Camp Johnny Reb
http://warriorsofthelonestar.blogspot.com/p/camp-johnny-reb.html
During lulls in the fighting, especially during the winter months, Union and Confederate pickets would meet, exchange goods (usually Confederate tobacco for Union coffee), and engage in good natured trash talk. Even though it was against regulations, officers winked at the practice as long as their men did their duty afterwards. One of the more interesting exchanges took place between Col. John McIntyre of the 4. Ohio Cavalry and a member of the 8. Unless it was heavily salted or dried, meat had to be ea...

Warriors of the Lone Star: The Owl and the General
http://warriorsofthelonestar.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-owl-and-general.html
Sunday, March 29, 2015. The Owl and the General. General William T. Sherman. After a bumpy coach ride, General William Tecumseh Sherman, the commanding general of the entire U.S. Army, arrived at Fort Richardson just outside the frontier town of Jacksboro. Named after a Union general killed at the Battle of Antietam, Fort Richardson was part of a Texas chain of forts established to protect settlers from Native Americans. Since godly Christians were thought to be incorruptible, military officers were repl...
