This week we present another installment in our series with Professor James Early of San Jacinto College, in which we’re taking a closer look at some of the many stories of Texas in the Civil War. Today we’re talking Texas Overland Expedition, an effort by Union forces to invade Texas and restore the Lone Star State to the Union.

Before we begin… What’s your favorite historic Texas cannon that’s NOT the Come and Take It Cannon?
