South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley were areas of great volatility and
activity in the mid-nineteenth century. War, smuggling, raiding, and
other dramatic events marked the place and the time. A letter by a
German Texas solider in the U.S. Army during the Civil War, repro-
duced on pages 466 through 470 of this issue as part of Frank Wilson
Kiel's article, "'We were o20 men against 150' The Battle of Las Rucias,"
gives a good first-person feel for the wartime activity in South Texas.
Kiel's article begins on page 465.
