Oh boy. That sounds interesting. I've toured the Elisabet Ney museum/workshop in Austin and seen a lot of her work on display there, so now I'm interested in seeing Liendo. It's approximately a 240-mile trip so I don't know if I can drum up enthusiasm in the spouse.

Here's a link to the museum, called "Formosa", in Austin:

She is the one who created Albert Sidney Johnston's grave effigy in the Texas State Cemetery in Austin:






What can you tell the non-reenacting public about what's going to happen at Liendo that weekend? Thanks.

Wrong part of the country for me, sorry.
