Nice thread. Those Texans were ornery, for sure.

I have a couple of ancestors who were in a mounted infantry regiment during the Civil War, but the fine distinctions between mounted infantry, cavalry and dragoons mostly escape me. Still, in the days before armor, signing on for one of them sounds like the way to go.
