Attention Walker Rifles!

The Ranchero
(Corpus Christi, Texas)
May 3, 1861

In the State Gazette, we notice that the Walker Mounted Rifles, of this city, have been reported and received by the Adjutant General of the State. The company is armed with Mississippi rifles, received from the State during the Cortina raid. The members are all animated with a patriotic zeal which is gratifying to record. This company, by the law under which it was organized, is at all times subject to the orders of the Governor of the State.
