    [HOUSTON] TRI-WEEKLY TELEGRAPH, October 28, 1863,

    Wanted.

    All ladies in Houston and surrounding counties who have cloth on hand, which they can spare, are requested to donate it to the ladies of Crockett for the purpose of making petticoats for the Minute Men of this county, who have "backed out" of the service. We think the petticoat more suitable for them in these times.

I suppose that falls under the same category as the construction of stick forts for repelling incoming fire. Oh, well. I was just a civilian. What do I know?
      You must be referring to the flanking manuever on Wednesday evening. Looked mighty good at first, until we saw we had flanked the entire Federal camp. Got some of us killed and captured, but the officers were unharmed.
      One of the non speaking Frenchman came by to hand off a personal item to one of the prisoners. He just walked right past a guard and handed it over to his comrade, which greatly excited and pissed off the guards. All the Rebs got a good laugh.
