Its not hard to pick up on what time of year it is from his broadcast.. Yall play with horses. That's an expensive hobby. More so than artillery. Unless you have the horse powered guns. That is nuts. I don't see how those guys do it.

I swear there was a marker at San Jacinto stating something to the efffect of "US Regulars fought here" or some such placement marker for the US "deserters" who fought and then un-deserted back into Louisiana. Last time I went I looked but didn't see it.

Thanks for volunteering. I wish I had the time to devote to that. It is important to visually see what happened.

Well you see, someone owns the gun and limber, several of us own the horses or mules. Show up to an event and we all meet up to assemble the team. Expensive nonetheless, but it is spaced out over a group of people. If someone can't make it to the event, the animals can still make it. Artillery is expensive but it is a one time major purchase, and then the cost of powder and gun maintenance can be divided up amongst the group. Horses on the other hand, are a daily expense.

I'm just irritated that i'm just now seeing this. Would have loved to have taken my kids

The San Jacinto Battleground & museum have events all the time that would be worth taking the kids to. You likely won't have to wait another year for some sort of reenactment or demonstration.
