4th Texas Volunteer Infantry Co E. with President Davis
"The time for compromise has now passed, and the South is determined to maintain her position, and make all who oppose her smell Southern powder and feel Southern steel."
Jefferson Davis - Feb. 1861 (inaugural address)
The 4th Texas Company E's membership hails from Michigan, Ohio, and Kentucky. We are an authentically minded reenactment group. Portraying the members of the "Lone Star Guards" as accurately as is possible. The 4th Texas Co. E is always looking for like minded recruits. Formerly headquartered in Waco, Texas we are now encamped in Warren, Mi. Our recruiter is: Recruiter Umbersome.
The 4th Texas.com was also developed to help accomplish the teaching of the grand history of the "Lone Star Guards", the 4th Texas Infantry and it's participation in "Hood's Texas Brigade" of Longstreet's Corp of the Army of Northern Virginia (A.N.V.)
4th Texas Co E wrecked by canister - Perryville 2006
We are a band of brothers, And native to the soil,
Fighting for Liberty, With treasure, blood, and toil;
And when our Rights were threaten'd, The cry rose near and far,
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag, that Bears a Single Star!
Hurrah! Hurrah! for Southern Rights.
Hurrah!
Hurrah! for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star!
"The Bonnie Blue Flag"
written 1861
So here's a 4th Texas Welcome
" Come on in and check us out!"
