REPUBLIC OF TEXAS IN CONFLICT:
From the Indian Wars to WWII
October 20–27, 2012
Historian Guide: Mike Koury
Republic of Texas in Conflict is a tour that has everything — forts, museums, and battlefields. From Texas Ranger fights in 1836 to the largest museum of the WWII War in the Pacific, there is truly something for everyone. The two battles — the Battle of the Neches and the Battle of Plum Creek — are the largest engagements with Indians ever fought in Texas. Both sites are largely pristine and seldom visited. The Star of the Republic Museum is dedicated to the 10-year period when Texas was a republic (1836–1845) with a navy and army and even a marine corps. You will visit the largest Civil War prison camp west of the Mississippi and see a Spanish presidio built in 1757, complete with Jim Bowie's signature carved in its stone gateway. You will travel from the Piney Woods of East Texas and the beautiful Central Texas Hill Country to the endless plains of West Texas with your Historian Guide Mike Koury. His extensive knowledge and matchless enthusiasm will bring the vast history of Texas conflicts alive.
