Soldaderas

The Texas campaign stretched the operational ability of the Mexican Army to the limits, lacking a proper commissary and supply system, the responsibility of supporting the Soldados in the field fell in the hands of the Soldaderas, or Mexican camp followers. This mass of women and children provided forage and supplies to a beleaguered force. Many of our female Living Historians choose to represent this brave, and often forgotten, participants of the Texas campaign.
