A Journey Interrupted: A Civil War Incident in Williamson County. Dr. Frazier’s presentation will take the audience on a journey from Williamson County Texas to the battlefields of the American Civil War… and back again. By the summer of 1863, one group of these locals were done with the war, the Confederacy, and all related issues. They made a break for Mexico. Then, Fate intervened. Come learn the rest of this remarkable tale that illustrates just how bad the Civil War became, even on the remote Texas frontier.
