Jaded Horses
As embers of the Alamo smoldered, the Mexican Army swept across Texas to Goliad where some 350 Texans were slaughtered. In early 1846, The United States declared war with Mexico. Five Tennessee cousins vow to join the fight. Cameron Augustus Moore, narrator of the story, was barely 18 and Cam’s best friend, Andrew Hawkins, called “Hawk”, were selected by lottery to join the fight.
