Friends!! I have returned from campaign !!!
Although I was unable to collect any booty due to the fact that those seditious Fredonian rebels ran like rabbits before we could get there, I m here to buy you all a round as bribe to tell my tale!!
I arrived for the militia muster and set up small camp at the edge of town to await the arrival of the other militiamen and our officers.
When they arrived we were formed up in the square and told that the militia would be assisting the Mexican regulars in putting down a rebellion in Nacadoches.
We were dismissed pending the arrival of the Mexican unit.
Of course, we headed straight for the tavern!!
The next day the infantry practiced drilling, order of arms and volley fire and the artillery boys exercised our cannon.
We received our orders from the captain of the Mexican regulars and moved on Fredonia.
By the time we got there, they run across the border back into US territory.
We didn’t fire a shot and wore out some good shoes to go home empty handed.
We returned home and after some formality and praise for our efforts we headed straight for the TAVERN!!!!
