“Were these things real? Did I see those
brave and noble countrymen of mine laid low in death and weltering in their blood? Did I see our country laid waste and in
ruins? Did I see soldiers marching, the earth trembling and jarring beneath their measured tread? Did I see the ruins of smoldering
cities and deserted homes? Did I see the flag of my country, that I had followed so long, furled to be no more unfurled forever?
Surely they are but the vagaries of mine own imagination…. But, hush! I now hear the approach of battle. That low,
rumbling sound in the west is the roar of cannon in the distance.”
-Sam Watkins

Welcome to the homepage of the Waco Mess. The Waco
Mess is a small group of civil war historians dedicated to the preservation of civil war history. Our "mess" attempts
to represent the life of the common western Confederate infantryman on campaign during the many conflicts in the western theater
of the civil war. Our unit aims to represent a working Civil War "mess" - the name given to a group of several soldiers who
would share rations, eat, sleep, march and fight together as a distinct group. These groups of men would often adopt names
which reflected the character, location or nature of the group. The Waco Mess website is always under construction and will
be updated frequently so check back often. Enjoy!!!
