| " They are all fine looking and determined Texans each well mounted and armed with Double barreled shot guns and Bowie Knives of immense size. Including Artisans & etc., I have now 141 men under my command and feel as proud of them as the Emperor Napoleon does of his army. If my wife and boys were with me I believe I would be the happiest man alive." Captain John J. Good - Good's Texas Battery - Fayetteville, Arkansas, Sunday, August 11th, 1861, - Letter Home to his wife Susan in Dallas. |
