New HPS title, Mexican - American War & Texas Independence War

[Riley D. Smith]

Very interesting subject matter for a wargame. There is actually a pretty good bit of info avail on these time periods and the fighting involved.

I am sure I'll get this one as my entire family is from Texas. In fact, my Great-great-great-great Grandfather...Manaen Turnbull Smith and his brother Archibald were members of a regiment of the "Texians" and left the service in either December of 1835 or January of 1836....just prior to the fighting at the Alamo and after. I have a really good genealogical record of my family from that period and I need to look again because I am sure it mentions the actual unit they served with.
