The flag being raised is one from California not Texas. So I would believe that this picture would be from California after the Mexican/American war.

Thanks, I thought I didn't recognise that flag from Texas :)

I put a photo of what inspired me.

I notice that the outbuilding in that picture is thatched. I know many Mexican buildings were similar.

Does anyone know what they were using? I guessing reeds, but it would be nice to know.
