"'While Texas will mourn the loss
of her brave sons, she will
treasure the memory as the
glorious martyrs of our
common country's independence.'
The above words echo from the
report of Colonel O. M. Roberts
regarding men of the 11th, 15th

near here. The men died
in the Battle of Bayou Bourbeux in 1863
