    Re: Texians: what exactly did they look like?



    Pvt. Robert Cotter, 1st Texas Mtd Rifles in 1861
    Lawrence T. Jones III collection

    Cotter was a member of the regiment we are attempting to replicate. Note he has two revolvers on his waist belt, overshirt, boots, etc. just as in the contemporary descriptions....the only thing he is lacking is the large rowel spurs.

    For anyone wanting to use elements of his image for their impression at the event, Parsley Brass carries a decent copy of his belt plate. http://parsleysbrass.com/pages/states/texas.html buckle 29D

    Any guesses at what the tassles near his left hand were from? He's not wearing a sash....?

    [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.

        So, you think that scrap in the East is rough, do you?
        Ever consider what it means to be captured by Apaches?

          Zack,
          No clue but it looks like it ends in his pocket. Maybe a tobacco pouch?

                They are showing up fine on this end. It may just have been a glitch.
