Today, many county residents are descendants of the three companies of soldiers that the county provided during the Civil War. The Groveton Civil War Weekend is an effort to continue to re-enact the history of our county, state, and nation because it is imperative that younger generations appreciate and remember the past so they won&#8217;t make the same mistakes. Where did they get the name of this battle that never happened? Since Groveton didn&#8217;t exist during the Civil War, organizers decided to name the battle after where Groveton got its name: a grove of Blackjack oak trees just outside of town!<\/p>\n<p>Mark your calendar today so you don&#8217;t miss the next Groveton Civil War Weekend Battle of Blackjack Grove in February at the Groveton Indian Athletic Complex in Groveton, Texas.<\/p>\n<p><img

Headquarters company is located primarily in the Houston area but has members in Hockley, Hempstead, Magnolia, Tomball, Conroe and Livingston. Company A is designated for our dis-mounted company and has troops from all over Texas. Company B is located in Oklahoma and Company C is located in California. We all share the same philosophy about Living History and re-enactment. Our primary focus is the accurate portrayal of the cavalry during the Civil War. We participate in battle re-enactments (see links below), drills, living history, classroom lectures, parades, encampments and much more.<\/p>\n<p>[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=&#8221;Read More about the 3rd Texas Cavalry Reenactors&#8221;]\nThe goal of the 3rd Texas Cavalry Reenactors is the preservation of the tradition and legacy of the Horse Soldier, primary during the Civil War but with some attention to other periods as well. Though the name implies a &#8220;Texas Cavalry&#8221; emphasis is on the cavalry of the period as our secondary impression is that of the 6th US Cavalry, Company K.<\/p>\n<p>Participating in events and drill, the 3rd Texas Cavalry enjoys the camaraderie of friendship and mutual respect that a &#8220;Gentleman\u2019s Cavalier&#8221; would have enjoyed of the period. We encourage the development of character traits of moral courage, loyalty, honesty and camaraderie. The 3rd is as home fighting and encamped with the Union as it is with the Confederacy at Local, State and National events. Our goal is to accurately depict the life and times of the cavalry. Our encampments strive to be as accurate to history as possible with great attention to details. Safety and respect for ourselves and horses are paramount in our approach to drill and training. With the development of a standard operating procedure each new recruit is shown what is required and expected as the trooper begins to know and come to love this fascinating hobby. We strive to provide the atmosphere which encourages &#8220;family participation&#8221; and enjoyment.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Groveton-Civil-War-Weekend-Battle-of-Blackjack-Grove-3rd-Texas-Cavalry-06-850x567.jpg\" alt=\"Groveton Civil War Weekend - The Battle of Blackjack Grove - Trinity County Chamber of Commerce - Groveton Indian Athletic Complex - 3rd Regiment of Texas Cavalry Living History Troupe - 3rd Texas Calvary Reenactors\" width=\"854\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22509\" style=\"margin-top:20px; margin-bottom:20px;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Groveton-Civil-War-Weekend-Battle-of-Blackjack-Grove-3rd-Texas-Cavalry-06-850x567-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Groveton-Civil-War-Weekend-Battle-of-Blackjack-Grove-3rd-Texas-Cavalry-06-850x567-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Groveton-Civil-War-Weekend-Battle-of-Blackjack-Grove-3rd-Texas-Cavalry-06-850x567-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Groveton-Civil-War-Weekend-Battle-of-Blackjack-Grove-3rd-Texas-Cavalry-06-850x567-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Groveton-Civil-War-Weekend-Battle-of-Blackjack-Grove-3rd-Texas-Cavalry-06-850x567-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Groveton-Civil-War-Weekend-Battle-of-Blackjack-Grove-3rd-Texas-Cavalry-06-850x567-800x531.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Groveton-Civil-War-Weekend-Battle-of-Blackjack-Grove-3rd-Texas-Cavalry-06-850x567.jpg 854w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Introduction to the 3rd Texas Cavalry Regiment<\/strong><br \/>\nIf your not familiar with the 3rd Texas Cavalry Reenactors, or you are new to reenacting then read on. We are Civil War Living Historians (Reenactors) who portray cavalrymen and the camp life associated with the hobby. We include our Ladies and young folks. As such, we try to keep the history alive. You maybe asking yourself if you will fit in or concerned that you may not have the necessary skills. We are family and friends and invite you to learn more about us. When we re-enact, we not only portray the 3rd Texas Cavalry, but the 6th US Cavalry as well. We honor both sides for their bravery and are happy to portray such bravery and sacrifice of these two fighting units. We have fun and enjoy the hobby regardless of the side we are on during a particular re-enactment battle or event. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The Mounted Branch<\/strong><br \/>\nBefore you read any further let me put your fears at rest. We know that all of you are not accomplished horseman. We are also aware that many who want to join are new to re-enacting and know little about the cavalry. We all started out with few cavalry skills and it took time for all of us to learn how to become cavalrymen. We are cavalry first. By that, we mean that it matters little as to what side of the conflict that we fight on. We are just as happy as Union Cavalry as we are as Confederate Cavalry. We chose the name of the 3rd Texas Cavalry to represent &#8220;Texas&#8221; and from that prospective we could be called on to portray just about any cavalry unit. We want the event sponsors to know we are from Texas, the rest matters little. We are not concerned with the political causes or results that came from the conflict, now called the Civil War<\/p>\n<p><strong>Uniforms, Gear and Tack<\/strong><br \/>\nYou will see that there is a lengthy list (on our website) and almost looks overwhelming at first glance. Don&#8217;t let that bother you. Its not as bad as it appears and most of it has been separated by function even though it is acquired as one piece. We buy the complete Union gear and then add the Confederate hat and coat. The Confederate cavalry, by 1864, had captured the same and simply added their own coat and hat. This allows you to save money and participate in three different periods. The US Cavalry still had in use Civil War period tack and gear late into the 1870s. If you know that then you are set to do any cavalry impression from 1861 through about 1878 without having to buy anything else. Within the re-enacting community, this time span covers the majority of the events that we can participate in. Once the equipment is acquired, little else needed. <\/p>\n<p>This hobby is both a learning process for you and one for your horse. It is also a team effort. In battle, the original cavalrymen trained, drilled and fought together as team. Individuality could get a trooper killed in battle. Each one of your fellow cavalrymen not only had assigned tasks, you depended on them to do their job and they depended on you to do yours. The 3rd Texas Cavalry depends on you and you on them in very much the same way today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want To Join Us?<\/strong> Contact:<br \/>\nCommanding Officer: Denny Hair<br \/>\nBy land mail for more information<br \/>\n30446 Joseph Rd.
