Across the United States, militia groups began to form and march to Texas to support American settlers. One of the earliest and most important to organize was the New Orleans Greys, organized on October 13, 1835, at Bank's Arcade. Join us as we explore the New Orleans Greys and other American volunteers' impact on the Texas Revolution, as we follow the adventures of one, 19-year-old Thomas Lubbock, on his march to San Antonio.
