Join the Texian Army!

Friday's program is cancelled due to bad weather. As of 3/16, Saturday's program is still scheduled.

What was life in Texas like during the Texas Revolution? What weapons did the Texian soldiers have and how did they fire them? What sort of food did the army eat while marching? And what did the women and children do while the men were away in the army?
