Weariness settles in as the Texas Revolution drags on—tired soldiers, weary families, and leaders forced to make hard decisions with no easy answers. As Sam Houston continues his strategic retreat, many mistake it for weakness. But sometimes, the strongest move isn’t charging forward—it’s holding steady and doing the hard, quiet work of staying the course. 

In this episode of The Texan Edge, Tweed Scott explores the kind of grit that doesn’t make headlines—the everyday determination to keep showing up when it would be easier to quit. Then and now, that steady resolve is what holds things together.
