Rogue Soldiers

The Texas Mier Expedition, a significant yet often overlooked tragedy of the American frontier, centers on a group of fighters who defied President Sam Houston's orders during a 1842 retaliation against Mexican incursions. This diverse assembly of Texas volunteers and militia, driven by a fierce sense of independence and new leadership, chose to invade Mexico in pursuit of vengeance against dictator Antonio López de Santa Anna for earlier humiliations. Their determination led to a dramatic and fateful journey that highlights the complexities of frontier life and conflict.
