The 4th Texas Company E. & the "Citizens for Independence" are authentically minded "Living history' Civil War reenacting groups. We are located in Lower Michigan. The 4th Texas Company E is dedicated to portraying the confederate soldier from the State of Texas who fought in the Army of Northern Virginia during the United States Civil War. The Citizens for Independence are dedicated to portraying the citizens of McLennan County Texas during the "War for Southern Independence". The 4th Texas Co. E. were recruited at Waco, Texas, the McLennan County seat. Bold Springs is a neighboring town of Waco, Texas that existed during the mid 19th century. The 4th Texas Company E is part of the 'Vaunted Medich Battalion". We also participate in the famed Texas Brigade. The 4th Texas Co. E & the Citizens for Independence are members of the Civil Preservation War Trust and the Historical Fort Wayne Coalition. The 4th Texas Co. E. and the Citizens for Independence are members of M.-L.A.C.W.S. inc., a 501c3 nonprofit corporation. M. L.A.C.W.S. is an abbreviation for Multi - Lakes Association for Civil War Studies.
Each year the "4th Texas Co. E" & the "Citizens for Independence" sponsor one of the up and coming Civil War Reenactments. M.-L.A.C.W.S. runs and supports "The Skirmish at Wolcott Mill" Civil War Reenactment. Many individuals consider the "Skirmish at Wolcott Mill" to be the best annual event in the Midwest!
M.-L.A.C.W.S. is also involved in historical preservation of one the United State's Civil War Battle Parks. Each year we spend a weekend at the Gettysburg National Battle Park cleaning the debris on Little Round Top.

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
