Joining the 9th Texas:
The 9th Texas Infantry Regiment is one of the largest reenacting groups in the South. With more than 50 active members, the 9th Texas easily forms two companies (Co. F and G) at many major western theater events. Emphasis is placed on properly representing and experiencing life as a soldier in the 1860s. We pay close attention to clothing, lifestyles and military drill. If you are a male, age 16 or older, we would like to talk with you about joining our band of brothers. Please contact our
