An Informal History of Fencing, Dueling, Swordplay & Edged Combat Along the Texas Coast

What follows here is a work in progress and a labor of love. It is an attempt to follow the evolution of swords, swordsmen and swordsmanship as it has evolved along the Texas Coast, from a pragmatic skill for survival to an Olympic sport, from pirates to Olympians, from Jean Lafitte to Claude Caux, Jim Bowie to Mauro Hamza, from the AFLA to USFA, from the SCA to ARMA
