Been through the circuitous route around the Brownsville Ship Channel back out to Boca Chica. Highway 4 has one historical plaque. This is absolutely the most in-depth story on the Battle I've ever read. It's amazing there was no greater loss of life. I've read accounts that the Union Force had come under "fire" from the Mexican side of the winding Rio Grande River. Just a short distance from this area are the Battlefields from the First Two Battle of the Mexican War. These Battles, Palo Alto & Resaca de Las Palmas heralded the beginning of actual training under actual fire for many of the Great Civil War Generals and Officers from both sides. Not as many plaques or monuments as up north where I grew up. I still remember hiking Shiloh annually as a young Boy Scout.
