“Texas has had artillery on the Red River before, and may again.”

LOL! Are you talking about the 1930’s when Gov. “Alfalfa Bill” Murray closed the OK side of the Red River to Texans because TX only charged Oklahomans a crossing fee over the bridges? The Governor had the OK National Guard on the bridges to close them down. My Mom is about 90 and has a picture of my step-dad as a teenager in the OK Guard in uniform with a Springfield rifle on a closed bridge. Next to him is a Model A with Alfalfa Bill standing and posing with his foot up on the Model A's running board.

I was talking about the War between the States.

The Red River has been a spot for fighting, or not fighting, for centuries.

I won't mention that Oklahoma has only been a state since 1907, since some of my family still talk about the Oklahoma Territory.

Or how Texas became a sovereign Republic in 1836.
