Excerpt from The Quarterly of the Texas State Historical Association, Vol. 11: July, 1907, to April, 1906 Shooting in camp or on the line of march is prohibited. The Captains of Companies will make a daily report of the situation and strength of their companies. A detail of camp, picket and horse guard will be daily made, and an officer of the day and an officer of the guard appointed. The guard will be turned off at 9 O'clock precisely, except when the army is on the march. [Every (?)] citizen soldier of the army of the people now in the field .. . apprized of the cause he is defending - it is the cause of the Constitution and of fredom: the cause of each man individually and of Texas collectively - our prosperity and happiness will in a great measure depend on the issue of the present campaign - every one feels its importance, and it is unnecessary to appeal to the patriotism of the army. But the Commander in chief deems it his duty to remind each citizen soldier that patriotism and firmness will avail but little, without discipline and strict obedience to orders. The first duty of a soldier is obedience. It is expected that the army of the people altho hastily collected will present an example of obedience that will do honor to the cause we are engaged in, and credit to the patriots who are defending it.
