About Burleson County C.S.A.
In February 1861 Burleson County voters approved secession by a wide margin, and local men soon organized as the Burleson Guards. Most joined the Second Texas Infantry, while others served in Walker's Texas Division, Terry's Rangers, and Hood's Brigade during the Civil War. County officials also organized state troops and funded aid for soldiers' families.
