High Noon Talk: They Called Them Soldier Boys

Program Details

Held on the first Wednesday of every month, High Noon Talks highlight interesting and often untold topics through this casual lunch-time lecture.

In conjunction with the centennial of the Great War and the exhibition World War I America, join us for a talk on the Texas National Guard's Seventh Texas Infantry Regiment. Historian and author Gregory Ball will share some of his in-depth study of the Texas Seventh from his book, They Called Them Soldier Boys. Hear about some of the contributions of this unit, including the efforts of its Choctaw code-talkers in WWI and discover how the unit's recruitment and training reflected the mobilization effort on the Texas home front.
