 ;D  Indeed she was!


**Spoiler for those who haven't read Streets of Laredo**
She's talking to her now-husband Pea Eye and they are on their property (ranch/farm) in Texas that Lorena bought with her money inherited from Gus.  I love Lorena.

"There were archers from Crete, slingers from Rhodes, and 3,000 infantry developed by Philip as King's men and given the name Royal Shield Bearers, who carried the large bronze shields we also see at Alexander's monument; they were trained to guard the sarissa-wielders, and also trained as commandos."
