[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. -
Re: Registration is now open for Imprisoned on the Frontier, March 17-19, 2017
We have been receiving a steady stream of registrations, with a good number being from out of state. Thanks to those who have already registered. To answer some questions about the event that we have received:
The event will have a fully stocked functioning sutler's store and each participant will have 3.00 in sutler's chits as part of their registration to spend however they see fit. We will also haven itinerant wet plate photographer set up to document the event and for those who wish to have an ambrotype taken during the course of the weekend. Fort McKavett is a very remote site with little modern intrusion. The site is situated on 90 acres in the Texas Hill Country with 23 standing original buildings, original lime kiln, three stone quarries, and a Government springs all on the property. The scenario itself is unique to Texas with the United States Regulars being surrendered three months after secession and held as prisoners in the quarters that they constructed only years earlier.
If you have any further questions about the event itself, please let me know: cody.mobley@thc.Texas.govCody Mobley
