SPECIAL PROGRAM!
book signing event: author duanne redus
Saturday, February 28
3:00 p.m.
Friends Meeting Room
More than 140 years after its first publication, “Five Years a Cavalryman”, by H.H. McConnell rides again—this time with a powerful and personal 21st-century response from his great-great-granddaughter, DuAnne Redus.
In this newly released volume, Redus weaves a contemporary narrative through a series of heartfelt letters to her ancestor. Reflecting on Texas’ frontier era and her own experiences as a fifth-generation Texan, she explores the parallels between the rugged Reconstruction period and the state’s modern-day challenges.
Redus’ writing bridges centuries of Texan identity—its myths, resilience, and reckoning. Her braided reflections from “Then and Now” reveal the complex, often contradictory legacy of a land both glamorized and misunderstood.
