The Lone Star Monument & Historical Flag Park — Attraction in Conroe

‘The Texians who volunteered to fight were a rag tag, undisciplined and opinionated bunch not good with taking orders and certainly not well trained in military tactics. Some like Davy Crockett, Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin, William Barrett Travis and Jim Bowie would become household names.
