My brother gave a presentation to the Fort Bend County Historical Commission last month. His topic was the Jaybird-Woodpecker War that erupted in Fort Bend County in 1889. I videoed the presentation, but the audio didn't turn out as well as I wanted. Nevertheless, I've posted this 24-minute version for those interested in this era of local history.
The good news is Bruce is giving the talk at Richmond's 175th birthday celebration on September 15th. I believe he's giving it at 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm at the Masonic Hall on Morton Street. (I can confirm the details if you're interested.)
(Update) I got this message from Bruce: "My Jaybird presentation is scheduled from 3:15 to 4:15 on Saturday (at the Masonic Hall)."
There are other speakers on different topics. I'll try to get them today and post the schedule tonight.
