Hello I was wondering if you could tell me what "Echoes from the Rio Grande" is about! I am trying to find something on my families heritage and I think this book has something to do with it! If you could please help me out.

Thanks.

I am curious about a book we share: They Rode for the Lone Star by Knowles. Some of the cataloging seems to indicate this is at least a two vol. work. The copy I have has From the Birth of Texas - The Civil War on the title page. Do you happen to have or know if there really was another vol. or is this it?

Howdy, devilyack

Yes, I'm focusing on the Corps' developing identity between the Civil War and WWI. Basically, when I began my research for my master's I realized that the Corps I knew from today (from my dad and husband) were nothing like the Corps of yesterday. Surprise, surprise. I hope to be done by next year.

Although I'm sorry to hear of how quickly your chosen path changed, just think of all the college football games you have been able to attend because of that one incident. On second thought, maybe that's not such a good thing.
