Very interested also. That’s rough country but it has seen a lot of history.

I did find a bit more info. It appears to be a very rare button.
The "Johnson County Slashers" weren't a vague local militia designation. They were Company C of the 12th Texas Cavalry.

Excellent. I figured it was something special. Turns out to be very special.
