Last February, we posted about Dick Dowling and the battle of Sabine Pass.  This weekend , September 12th and 13th, during “Dick Dowling Days” there will be re-enactments of the Civil War battle on the Sabine Pass State Historic Battleground Site in Texas, commemorating the 146th anniversary of the battle.   Re-enactors portraying Union and Confederate soldiers, sailors, and marines will drill, display their gear and re-enact two battles each of the two days.   Admission is free.
