These guys were unbelievable. Left Texas and fought under General Robert E Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia. They participated in an unbelievable amount of the battles that decided the fate of America.  They found themselves at the center of the successes the Confederate States of America had early and were present at their ultimate defeat. No matter how we judge their cause today, they truly are legendary.

Not sure what you know about not only the Texas Navy. Well... we surprised ourselves with how little we actually knew. It wasn't always great times for our guys offshore, but they definitely played a major part in our celebrated history. Hope you learn as much as we did.
