Here you will find the good stuff, THE STORIES.  All written by Tom R. Grandy, Correspondent Daily Richmond Examiner. The historic stories are taken from various historic sites, namely "Civil War Time Line" and were used as a foundation in which to build upon.  Each story has been made into a "First Person" 19th Century style as it might have been reported during the war years.  In the case of actual events, be it large scale reenactments or small local events that the First Texas participated in and around Denver Colorado, Tom has tried to capture the historic sense of actual history by not changing what really happened, but placing the reenactment event into the actual historic event and simply creating an atmosphere of it happened now.  With local, non-historic events, Tom has tried to capture that same sense of 19th Century writing as it would have appeared in the newspapers.  Please click on the small Confederate flags to read the stories.  Use your browser back button to return to this page.  ENJOY!
