Only Texas, of all the states, can boast of a heritage that
includes the army and navy of an independent nation. Throughout the
ten turbulent years of Texas independence its military was engaged
in constant warfare against enemies within and without. Its
regulars were backed up by a militia described as "the most
formidable, for their numbers, in the world." Contrary to the image
projected by Hollywood and most historians, even in Texas, they
were smartly uniformed and equipped with the latest in weaponry.
What did these long-forgotten uniforms look like? Texas insignia
and flags? Writer-artist-historian Bruce Marshall has discovered
the answers in archives in Texas and Mexico, in old diaries and
letters and sketches by those who wore or saw them. With his
internationally-honored art he has recreated the uniforms in
twenty-six full color illustrations, supplemented by fourteen
photographs - including the only two known of uniformed officers of
the Texas army and navy.
