In 1864, a small group of 46 Confederate soldiers, led by Colonel John S. "Rip" Ford, successfully defended the Texas border against a larger Union force during the Battle of Palmito Ranch. Their strategic positioning and knowledge of the terrain allowed them to effectively engage the Union troops, who were overextended and unprepared for a strong resistance. The Confederate victory at this battle, which was one of the last skirmishes of the Civil War, helped to prevent a Union invasion into Texas. Despite the odds, their determination played a crucial role in maintaining control over the region.
