    An Application for a Texas Historical Marker Presented to the Harris County Historical Commission – September 12, 2016 THE LYNCHBURG VOLUNTEERS 1 2 3 by Trevia Wooster Beverly, Bernice Mistrot, and Mike Vance ©Baytown Historical Preservation Association4 “The people of Texas do now constitute a free, sovereign and independent republic.”5 PREFACE6 From the colonial era until today, America has depended upon citizen soldiers in times of crisis requiring a military response.
