Oh, someone as erudite at history as you claim to be should know it
Where did I ever claim to be erudite in history? I read a lot, generally remember what I've read is all.
And dude, I have no idea where you are from, to be honest I haven't cared enough to try and find out.
However, I must note that in the interest of historical accuracy, before you go to any more Texas history enactments, you should probably lose about fifty or maybe even sixty pounds. Frontiersmen were almost universally lean.
Ya a puzzle that. I don't eat much, I'm on my feet all day long, constantly active, ride twenty miles round trip to work, even rode that bicycle 2,000 miles to New York last summer, didn't seem to make much difference. Prob'ly I should worry about it more than you do.
Some guys back then were stout, maybe I woulda been one I dunno.
