TEXAS UNDER SIX FLAGS .. -tllllt•·

In early days, "when knights were bold, and Indians stalked their prey," to the land of the Tehas' trackless wilderness and boundless prairies, came an adventurous explorer and dreamer, La Salle, from over the uncharted sea, sailing westward into the beautiful harbor of Mata- I gorda, bearing aloft the Fleur de Lis flag of France.

Out of the Golden West went to Spain tidings that this savage territory to which she laid claim had been invaded by France. But the hostile Indian's deadly arrow, hun­ger and hardship, left few of the French colonists for Capt. De Leon and his soldiers to conquer. The folds of the Spanish flag fluttered triumphantly over the mission of San Francisco.

Many years followed of bitter struggle, heroic sacrifice and cruel bloodshed for Texas' pioneers under Mexico's despot flag 'til victory was their's, and Texas independ­ence was won.

The "Lone Star Flag," waving over wind-swept moun­tains and plains, rivaling in glowing colors the bonnie blue bonnets, the wild flower blossoming prairies, of a great republic, the grand old State of Texas. May your bright star of victory, catching the sunbeams of the dawn of this new day, continue to reflect the triumphs of San Jacinto's battles won, and tint with jewel rays a glory crown, for that sacred monument to Texas' martyred men, her Thermopylae-the Alamo!

The "Stars and Bars," the· flag . of Dixie-wreathed in glory, christened with the blood of heroes, anointed with the sacrificial tears of women, emblazoned with the valor­ous deeds of bravery and gallantry of Southern men who wore the gray, in defense of Southern rights, may you ever be tenderly shrined in the alabaster box of memory sacred to that glory-crowned chapter of our history, the hallowed days of the Confederacy!

The flag of "Stars and Stripes," the grand old flag immortalized in song by a son . of the South; the Star­Spangled Banner of om· forefathers-their pride and glory. Our country's flag, borne so bravely through war's deadly perils by the sons of the lllue and the Gray-Am2rica's sons of freedom. Old Glory, we honor and salute you! May your folds always float proudly over our united land,

I while Southern zephyrs waft the fragrant incense of holy J

m<>mories of these beautiful honored flags, borne by a I nation's bravest warriors ever ready to uphold their prin- · I ciples, Iibert~ and justice.

HONOR AND JUSTICE FOR JEFFERSON DAVIS

.. Truth is t;landing like a sentinel. \Vaiting Justh:.c to Opl!n wide her gates:•

Jefferson Davis, first and only President of the Confederacy. Born June 3rd, 1808, in Christian (now Todd) County, Kentucky. Died December 6th, 1889, in New Orleans, La. The uncrowned ruler of an invincible empire of loving and loyal hearts spent his twilight years at Beauvoir-by-the-Sea, in Mississippi, and his final resting place is in Richmond, Va., Mount Hollywood Cemetery.

"No country e 'er had a truer son, no cause a nobler champion. In his honor impregnable, in his courage sublime." The embodiment of chivalry, refinement and culture, this gallant soldier and brilliant statesman of the United States was the chosen leader of a cause which was overcome, but never lost. He was "the deathless martyr of our kingdom of the twilight,'' for with patience and fortitude he bore his country's woes and "caviled not at fate."

Broken in health in his lonely old age, secluded apart, with the sorrows and burdens of his country engmved on his heart, he retired to beautiful Beauvoir-by-the-Sea, in Mississippi, to spend the sunset days of his eventful life writing his "History of the Confederacy" with that Christian fidelity to duty and truth and firm conviction of the rights and the justice of the Confederate cause which he had so faithfully and loyally espoused.

"The evening bell and one clear call at twilight to cross the bar" came to the South's loved chieftain, Jefferson Davis, while he was visiting in the home of a friend in New Orleans, Mr. E. C. Fenner.

"Life's battles bravely fought and nobly won, He hlid liim down t:Onteut at set of sun As twilight shadows felL"

May 20, 1875-Honorable Jefferson Davis, on a visit to Dallas, re­ceived a g1·eat ovation. From the railroad station to the "San Ja­cinto House" a stream of people, eager to welcome him, surged about his carriage and escort. In New Orleans, when his body lay in state in the City Hall all ,day, the people came in great numbers to take a farewell look upon the face of the South's beloved leader, and thousands followed the funeral cortege to the Meterie Cemetery. Stores were closed and the entire city paid homage to him.

"His monument b the adoration of the South, His shri ne is in every Southern heart. ..

LINCOLN PUOPAGANDA

A wave of Lincoln propaganda, li·ke the dangerous influenza, has swept over the country since the late war, even invading our South­land-this Lincoln hysteria disregarding and over-riding facts of record a~ evidenced by historians even of the North; attributing to him chara<:teristics and sentiments which his closest associates IIL' \'CI" dis­<:ove•·ed. llc has been so idealized, if nol deified, his vil'lucs su mag­nified and his admilted fault~ so modified or gltossed ove1·, that there has l>ecn built up a mythical Lincoln which i~ hardly hwHan- inslead

of a plain man of the people who was endowed with intellectual pow­er above the average, with a full share of virtues and faults.

Monuments a nd beautiful, costly memorials have been erected throughout the North to honor him-many of which, like the great Lincoln Memorial building in Washington, were constructed with pub· lic funds raised by taxation of the people at large-we of the South contributing our share without complaint-it is fitting that the peo­ple of the No1·th should thus honor those whom they regard as of heroic mould.

But we of the South are not wanting in heroes of our own- the pages of our history are filled with names of men of the South who have achieved great things, in war and in peace, and until full justice has been done to these we must reject any suggestions or efforts of misguided worshippers at the Lincoln shrine, to erect in our places of honor, memorials to Abraham Lincoln.

President Davis could have won the war for the Union, had he been in Lincoln's place- the fact that he held out for four years against overwhelming fo1·ces is sufficient evidence of superior gen­eralship. Certainly then Jeffe1·son Davis is entitled to honors equally great at the hands of Southern people, as are given Ab1·aham Lin­coln by those of the North. How remiss we have been in according Jefferson Davis the honors which are due him!

HISTORICAL FACTS

Have not No1·thern historians under-estimated the influence and achievements of the South's g1·eat men in the foundation and :;hap­ing of the nation's greatness and glory?

Is it not due to the general indifference or lack of interest on the part of the people of the South, that after more than half a cen­tury since the war, so little has been done to correct the errors and misstatements of current histories, prejudicial to the South, by as­sembling, in a serious, dispassionate way, the authenticated facts of history?

The men of the South fought to preserve the Constitution of the Union and the basic prindple of the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, a man of the South, for the establish­ment of a Union of State:;, for home rule or local self-government. "Free governnient, which derives its just powe1·s from the consent of the governed."

The slavery quc:;tion was not an issue in the war between the States - it was but one of the incidents. Only a very small minority of the men who fought unde1· the banner of the Conferle1·acy ever Qwncd a slave. Stonewall Jackson owned but two- and these were

purchased by him at the urgent request of these two. General Lee had freed all the sl:· ves held by him so metime before the \\' a r began.

The thirteen Southern States were defending their rights just as the original thirteen colonies contended for their colonial rights­the former sought to perpetuate a government, for the 11eople artd by the peo ple, embracing the principles and ideals of sclf-detc nnina­tion, which had been established by the latter.

February ·1, 18HI-Delegates from the seceding States met in Mont­gomery, Ala., to organize a Confederate government. Howell Cobb presided, Johnson F. Hooper, secr etary. The Constitution of the United States wa s adopted for the "Confederate States of Ame rica." Jefferson Davis of 1\'Iississippi, "the ma n of the hour," was elected President, and Alexander H . Stevens of Georgia, Vice President.

February 17, ISH I, Jefferson Davis delivered his firs t speech fol­lowing hi s election as President of the Confederacy.

March 8, I861-The first ·cannon shot of the war was fired f1·om the Iron Battery on Morris Island, and s truck Fort Sumter . The shot was accid ental and fi1·ed during practice hours of the Washington Artillery of Charles ton. Major Stevens was sent to Fort Sumte1· with a flag to explain the accident.

September 22, I8H2- Pt·esident Lincoln issued a proclamation ad­dressed to the so-called rebellious States, demanding their return to the Union before January 1st, 1863.

April 17, 1864-At Plymouth, N. C., Confederate ram and battet·y sunk three Union gunboats.

Is it not true that it is ' the text books and Northern history war records of the sixties that are even now largely I.Jeing taught our children of the South?

Do the children of today really know the important part the South had in the building of the nation? Have they noted the fact that our Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence? That George Washington, the "Father of His Country," was a Southern man? That John Marshall, .James Madison, James K. Polk- in fact, most of the leaders of the early days of the republic, were from the South?

Do they know that it was Watkins, of Georgia, and not Ely Whit­ney, who invented the cotton gin? That it was William Long­street, of Georgia, who first suggested steam as a motive power, instead of Fulton? That James Gatling, of North Cm·olina, invented the Gatling gun , and Francis Goulding, of Georgia, the sewing ma-

chine? That Cyrus McCormick, of Virginia, invented the reaping machine?

Are they familiar with the discoveries in science, medicine and surgery made by Southern men? That most of the early uni­versities ancl libraries were established in the South?

Have you ever noted the fact that two-thirds of the men who fought in the Mex ican War, and many of the leade1·s and heroes of every battle, were from the South?

Who was th e hero of Buena Vista ?- Our Jefferson Davis.

Who was the hero of Chapultepec? - Our Stonewall Jackson.

Who was highly recommended for his engineering skill ?- Robert E. Lee, our beloved chieftain.

Who planted the United States flag in the City of Mexico? ­Quitman, of ~1ississippi.

Who immortalized these heroes in a beautiful poem, "The Bivouac of the Dead ?"- Theodore O'Hara of Kentucky.

Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, Joseph E. Johnston, A. P. Hill, Braxton Bragg, Josiah Tatnall, P. G .T. Beauregard and many oth­ers of the South played an important part in the Indian and Mexican wars in the service of the United States.

James 1<. Polk, 11th President, was born in Mecklenburg County, N. C., November 2, 1795; died June 15, 1849. During his administra­tion, following the war with Mexico, the "Pacific Slope" was ac­quired .

.James l\lonroe, 5t-h President, born in Westmoreland County, Va., April 28, 1758; died in New York July 4th, 1831. Author of the "Monroe Doctrine"; his administration added, hy purchase, the terri­tory of F'hrida.

Merriwether Lewis of Virginia and William Clark of Kentucky opened up to the eyes of the world that wonderful section of the \/estern country, now known as "Yellowstone Park."

Mosely of North Carolina, and Byrd of Virginia gave more than 39 free.libraries to those States as early as 1676.

For denthless hono r guards the flag When! gleams the proud Lo ne Star.··

The Battle Flag of First Texas Regiment was made by Miss Lula Wigfall of Marshall, Texas, the daughter of Louis T. Wigfall . It was presented while her father ·was colonel of the regiment, in 1861, at Richmond, Va., and Mr. J. 0 . Bradfield, a member of Hood's Brigade, in his interesting story of this flag, says it was on this memo­rable occasion that President Davis uttered this well known and much quoted sentiment:

"The soldie rs of othe r Stales ha•l a rej.lutation to gain; But the sons of the Alamo h a d theirs to maintain. "

This tattered, battle-scarred flag now has an honored place on the wall of the House of Representatives in Austin; it has a thrilling history. Triumphantly it waved over the proud First Texas Infantry through the fiercely fought battle of Seven Pines, Malvern Hill, Sec­ond Mannassas and other fields of carnage, until that fatal battle of Sharpsburg, on September 17th, 1862,. when these brave Texans of Hood's Brigade faced 12,000 federal troops under General Han­cock and his deadly storm of shot and cannon ball. J. 0 . Bradfield of Austin tells us that "only twenty-nine of Hood's men were left holding the line for Lee," and he was one of the 29; the standard­bearers, one after another, were shot down in the hail of bullets; as the regiment retreated unobserved the last standard-bearer fell and with him lay the cherished battle flag in that blood-stained corn field of Sharpsburg, where it ,was found by the 47th Ohio, and we are told they rejoiced greatly over the capture of this famous flag. Later it was returned to the State of Texas by the Secretary of War, and is now one of the cherished relic's of the. Confederacy.

Miss Lula Wigfall made another battle flag out of her mother's wedding dress; this she presented to Colonel Hood for the Fourth Texas Regiment, while they were in winter quarters on the Potomac. On the spear-head this motto is engraved: "F'ear Not, For I Am With Thee. Say to the North, 'Give Up,' and to the South, 'Keep Not Back.' " Nine ensign bearers had fallen in battle bearing this Lone Star Texas flag, which bears the scars of many battles, shell and shot. This emblem of the prowess of the Fourth Texas Regiment is another cherished relic in the possession of the U. D. C. Museum at Austin.

TEXAS ''] te ll you , ~ ir . w ha t Texas is - the wo rld rolled into o ne Stale. The home th at ou r reet may leRve . but not our hearts.''

Texas, an Indian word which means friends, or allies.

The terms, "Lone Star State" and "Lone Star Flag" are derived from the solitary star on the coat-of-arms on the Seal of the State.

Texas has no State motto. Lupine (the Blue-bonnet, or Buffalo Clover) is the State Flower. Texas was the 28th State to be admitted into the Union, on December 29th, 1845.

Texas was the 7th State to enlist in the Confederacy, on February 1st, 1861; the ordinance of secession was submitted to the vote of the people. On March 2nd, 1861 (Texas Independence Day) Texas seceded from the Union and joined the Confederate States of America.

Texas ratified the Confederate Constitution on March 23rd, 1861.

On !\larch 5th, 1861, the Texas State Convention received instruc­tions from the Secretary of War of the Confederate States that President Davis desired that a reasonable length of time be given the Federal Government troops to withdra\V from Texas and other territo~y of the Confederate States-an international courtesy to them -but should the Federal Government refuse to withdraw their troops, then all the power of the Southern Confederacy should be employed to expel them.

On January 1st, 1863, General Magruder captured the "Harriet Lee," in Galveston harbor.

On January 20th, 1863, Major 0. M. Watkins captured a Federal gunboat at Sabine Pass, containing one million dollars worth of provi­sions and thirteen cannon.

On April 25th, 1861, Colonel VanDorn of the State Troops of Texas . ca ptured 450 United States troops at Saluinia .

.January 1st, 1825-Birthday of General John Morgan; born in Huntsville, Ala.; died in Greenville, Tenn., September 4, 1864.

May 13th, 1865-The last battle under the Confederate flag was fought at Palmetto Ranch, near Palo Alto battlefield.

March 20, 1870-Texas returned to the Union, just nine years, one month and ·29 days after she seceded.

January 8th, 1836, the Georgia Battalion landed on the Texas coast to reinforce Fannin at Goliad. They bore a banner- a white star on a field of blue- made and presented by Miss Joanna Troutman, of Georgia. This single-star flag sank with Fannin and his men on Palm Sunday, March 27th, 1836, but rose again with Houston and his

men at San Jacinto. On the 13th of January, 183!l, the Congress ot Texas adopted this star on a blue field, with two stripes, white and red, as the flag which still waves over Texas.

"Terry Texas Rangers"-It was in 1861 that the "Terry Texas Ran­gers" were sworn into service at Houston, Texas, and ordered to Bowling Green, Ky., where the o1'ganization was perfected and B. F. Terry was elected colonel, J. S. Lubbock lieutenant colonel, Thomas H. Harrison major. The regiment was then placed under the com­mand of General Albe1·t Sidney Johnston, and through their heroism and valor in the battle of Shiloh and many other desperate battle­fields of the War of the Sixties won for themselves eternal fame . Out of a membership of 1,700 only about 150 survived at the close . of the war. Such was the patriotic sacrifice the Terry Texas Ran­gers paid for their Southland's cause. Colonel Terry, their gallant commander, made the supreme sacrifice December 17th, 1861, while leading a charge in the battle of W oodsonville, Ky . He fell mortally wounded in the moment of victory . Lieutenant Colonel Lubbock died of typhoid fever. John A. Wharton was elected colonel, Captain John T. Walker lieutenant colonel.

Sam Houston, of Tennessee, latPr President of the Republic of Texas and first governor of t)1e State of Texas, was the leader and acknowledged hero of the war with Mexico for the independence of Texas. He was born near Lexington, Va., March 2, 17()3, and died in Huntsville, Texas, in 1863.

Oran M. Roberts, jurist and statesman, was born in Laurens Dis­trict, S. C., July 9, 1815. Was president of the "Secession Conven­tion" in 1861; elected Unite~ States senator in 1866, but was not seated; was for several years Chief Justice of the State; governor of Texas from 1879 to 1883 and subsequently professor of law in the State University. The "Old Alcalde was the author of numerous books relating to Texas and the Confederacy.

John H. lleagan was born in Sevier County, Tenn ., in 1818; on completion of his education removed to Texas. Elected to the United States Congress in 1857; delegate · to the Provisional Congress of the Confederacy at Montgomery, Ala.; postmaster general under Presi­dent Jefferson Davis until close of the war, when he was captured with President Davis and imprisoned at Fort Warren. For many years served in United States Congress and Senate, resigned in 1891 to become chairman of the Texas Railroad Commission. Died at Pales ­tine, Texas, in 1905.

General John B. Hood-Born in Owenville, Ky., June 1st, 1821; died in New Orleans, La., August 30, 1879. Was educated for a mili-

tary career at West Point, served with distinction in numerous fights with the Indians. Resigned in 1861 to enlist in the cause of the Confederacy, attaining rank of lieutenant general. Was several times desperately wounded, being disabled in one arm at Gettysburg and losing a leg at Chickamauga. Many of our Texas Veterans served throughout the war in "Hood's Brigade."

t:eneral William P. Hardeman, "Old Goth," was presented with a cane by the "boys" of Hood's Brigade, as a token of their love and esteem, during the U. C. V. Reunion in Houston in 1895. Miss Lydia Kirk, "daughter of the brigade," made the presentation address. Overcome by the sentiment of the occasion she, as well as the gen­eml and the Veterans, shed tears. One of the latter said, "Did you e\'er see such a gang of . blubbering old fools as we are?" But they were holy tears of patriotic feeling. Thomas M. Menefee of Troy, Alabama, a private, wore the priceless old gray coat at this Reunion, which he had taken off to pillow the head of General Gordon as he lay severely wounded at Sharpsburg.

<:em•ral William Cabell was commander of the Trans-Mississippi Division, U. C. V., and was present at the Houston Reunion with his official staff. General Cabell had known active service in the United States army, as well as that of the Confederacy, winning distinction and promotions from second lieutenant to captain in the 7th Infantry of the United States army . . He resigned to offer his services to the Confederacy when he saw the inevitabl. He was commissioned major and was ordered to Richmond to organize the quartermaster, commis­sary and ordnance departments. In 1861 he was ordered to Manassas as chief quartermaster of the Army of the Potomac. In 1862 he was transferred to the Trans-Mississippi Department at Jacksonport, Ark., and soon afterward was given the rank of brigadier general in command of troops on the White River. After the battle of Elk­horn another army. was ordered to Kentucky and General Cabell was transferred to an Arkansas brigade, which took part in many battles, and he was wounded while leading his troops on the breastworks of Corinth, Miss., and at Hatchie Bridge. When sufficiently recovered he was placed in command of all the forces in Northwest Arkansas and with recruits organized one of the largest cavalry brigades. On a raid into Missouri he was taken prisoner on October 24, 1864, and taken to Johnson's Island, Lake Erie, and later to Fort Warren in Boston Harbor, where he was confined until August 28, 1865. A very beautiful portrait of General Cabell holds a place of honor in the home of Mrs. J. C. Muse, his daughter, of Dallas.

HISTORY OF DICK DOWLING CAMP NO. 197, U. C. V. HOUSTON, TEXAS

The Dick Dowling Camp was organized in July, 1892. When the Veterans organized the Camp in Houston, and named it for the gal­lant young Irishman who achieved so notable a victory at Sabine Pass, they deemed it equally appropriate to make that historic date, September 8th, the occasion of their annual meetings and election of offic.:rs, and fittingly observe the occasion with proper ceremonies. On the third anniversary, in 1894, in their newly equipped hall at 403 Main street, upstairs, Commander Will Lambert was presented with a handsome silk flag, the handiwork of Mrs. Robert Rutherford and her neices, Misses Cardwell. This flag was taken to Birmingham Reunion by the Veterans and it was conspicuous in the Winnie Davis wigwam during the sessions. When General Gordon announced that Houston had captured the r '"xt Reunion, the enthused color bearer joyfully and triumphantly waved this flag in celebration of the vic­tory. This tattered and worn old flag is still loved and prized by the Dick Dowling Camp and is only used on the death of one of the Confederate Veterans; the Adjutant pins the death notice on the furled flag and it is placed at the Dick Dowling monument that day in memorial.

An oil painting of Dick Dowling, the work of a Houston artist of much note, Thus. Donnellant, was presented to the Camp by him, and on December 5th, 1900, Mr. P. C. II . Brotherson of Galveston pre­sented the Camp with the sword · which was carried by Lieut. Dowling during the battle of Sabine Pass. In order to preserve those highly prized relics, the Camp, by unanimous vote, authorized Commander Fall to present them to Mrs. M. A. Harris, Vice Regent of the U. D. C. Museum in Richmond, Va., to be placed in the Texas Room.

HISTORY OF DICK DOWLING MONUMENT HOUSTON, TEXAS

For many years the members of Dick Dowling Camp No. 197 at Houston devoted much time and earnest effort to accumulate a fund for the purpose of erecting a suitable monument to Dick Dowling and his little band of 42 Irishmen, heroes of Sabine Pass. Early in 1897 this fund amounted to only $40, when Capt. Fall offered a resolu­tion that the Camp subscribe $50 additional to the fund, which was unanimously passed. Renewed efforts to increase the fund were made, letters written to other Camps and the newspapers. Dick Dowling Camp of Beaumont contributed about $100, the Hibernian Society of Houston raised several hundred dollars; John H. Kirby gave his personal check for $250 and many subscriptions of smaller

sums were made by individuals; entertainments were given by the Daught~rs of the Confederacy; the Emmett Council and other Irish societies made contributions and finally the hope and dream of Dick Dowling Camp was realized, and on St. Patrick's Day, March 17th, 1905, the Dick Dowling monument was unveiled on the site donated by the city of Houston in the City Hall square.

The statue, of Italian marble, is a splendid work of the sculptor. On the base is the following inscription:

Erected to the Memory of Dick Dowling and the Davis Guards

By

Dick Dowling Camp No. 197, U. C. V.

Ancient Order of Hibernians, Divisions 1, 2 and 3

and

On the sides are the names of those engaged in the Battle of Sabine Pass, September 8, 1863.

THE FIRST ORGANIZATION OF U. D. C. IN HOUSTON "A dR.ughter of the Conrederacy. One thought upholds her courage In storm and stress and gloom. She will not fail or trifle, \Viii bravely play her part; Because she knows a hero's blood I~ beating in her hE>art ."

The first Chapter of the United Daughters of the. Confederacy in Houston was organized in May, 1894, and was named "Mildred Lee Chapter." Captain S. D. Moore, of Dick Dowling Camp, U. C. V., assisted in the organization work. His daughter, Miss Jennie S. Moore (now Mrs. Bud. A. Randolph) was elected President; Miss Lou Salter, Vice President; Mrs. A. G. Henry, Treasurer; Miss Molly Glass, Corresponding Secretary; Miss Maida McLeod, Recording Sec­retary; Mrs. Dr. Robt. Rutherford, Adviser. There were fif­teen charter members. Co-operating with the Dick Dowling Camp, U. C. V. (Mr. Will Lambert, Chairman) they sponsored an "Illusion Show," bearing the title "The Flying Lady," to raise money for a monument fund. An interesting feature of this entertainment, which ran for a week (held in a building on the site now occupied by Levy's dry goods store), is that the charge for admission was 5 and 10 cents, the net results being $175.00. This sum was divided equally between the two organizations. Sufficient additional dona­tions were secured by the Mildred Lee Chapter to bring the monu-

ment fund up to a total of $100 and was the first definite sub­scription to the fund for the monument, "Spirit of the Confederacy," in Sam Houston Park in Houston.

A beautiful letter of appreciation was received by the President from Miss Mildred Lee for the compliment paid her in the naming of the Chapter for her. The Mildred Lee Chapter took an active part in the entertainment of Vetez-ans and visito1·s to the U. C. V. Reunion which met in Houston May 22nd, 1895.

The Robert E. Lee Chapter, U. D. C. , was organized November 17th, 1897, at which time the Mildred Lee Chapter disbanded. On May 8th, 1908, the monument fund of $100, which had been raised by the l\1 ildred Lee Chapter, was turned over to the Robert E. Lee Chapter for this monument, after years of effort on the part of the latter had resulted in collection of sufficient funds to assure the building of that beautiful monument, which may today be seen in Sam Houston Park, "Spirit of the Confederacy."

Officers duly el<>cted were: Mrs. J . C. Hutcheson, President; Mrs. M. G. Howe, First Vice President; Mrs. T. R. Franklin, Second Vice President; Mrs. M. H. Foster, Secretary; Mrs. J. A. Huston, Treas­urer; Miss A. A. Dunovant, Historian .

ORAN M. ROBERTS CHAPTER, U. D. C. Oran M. Roberts Chapter No. 440, U. D. C., Houston, was organ­

ized in February, 1901, by Miss Adelia A. Dunovant with sixty charter members, increasing to 314 members the first year.

ORGANIZATION OF TEXAS DIVISION, U. D. C. During the Reunion, United Confederate Veterans, held in Houston,

Texas, May 22, 1895, which met in the old Auditorium, comet· Main and McGowen (and ·which was named the Winnie Davis Auditorium), the members of the Mildred Lee Chapter, U. D. C., held a meeting in the rooms of the Dick Dowling Camp, corner of Main and Texas, partaking much of the nature of a reception. The two large rooms were crowded with visitors, national officers and members of U. D. C. Chapters (at that time known as "Camps") from other Texas cities and towns. The main purpose of this meeting was to effect a State organization of the Daughters of the Confederacy. Representatives of the National organization, U. D. C., were welcomed by the offi­cers of the Mildred Lee Chapter; Miss Jennie Moore (now !\Irs. Bud Randolph), the President, was introduced by Judge Sam \V. Jones of Galveston. Her beautiful address of welcome, which was printed in full in the Houston Post of May 25th, 1895, was followed by re­sponse by Mrs. Kate Cabell Curry (Mrs. J . C. Muse), who was intro­duced by Captain S. D. Moore, who fitly designated himself as the "godfather of the Mildred Lee Chapter." Miss Jennie Moore then introduced Mrs. Sterling Price Willis of Alvin, who stated the ob­ject of the meeting and urged the necessity of a State orga nization in Texas of the Daughters of the Confederacy. Organization was then, after some discussion, effected, with the following officers: Mrs . Kate Cabell Curry (Mrs. J . C. Muse) of Dallas, President; Miss Jennie Moore (Mrs. Bud Randolph) of Houston, First Vice President; Mrs. P. J. Willis of Alvin, Second Vice President; Mrs. Annie Dow)_ ing Robertson of Austin, Third Vice President; Mrs. C. W. Brann of Sherman, Fourth Vice President; Mrs. J. M. Bronson of Victoria, Fifth Vice President; Mrs. Judge C. S. Cleveland of Galveston, Treas­urer; Mrs. Sarah Fountain Sampson of Alvin, Secretary.-(Houston Post, May 25th, 1895.)

During the U. C. V. Reunion in Houston many social courtesies were extended to Miss Winnie Davis, General John B. Gordon, Commander­in-Chief of the Confederate Veterans; General Ross, General Cabell, General Longstreet and Governor C. A. Culberson.

CONFEDERATE HEROES GENERAL ROBT. E. LEE AND GENERAL THOMAS J. JACKSON

Birthday Anniversary, January 19th " Lee and Jacks;on I W e ha llow the day That gave these m e n to our Southern land. Togethe r forever, side by aide, On the he ights of glo1·y, where all may see, Adown the ages, our he roef\ ride Stouewnll Jackson and knightly Lee­T ogethe r fo r e ve r , s ide by s ide , Our land's palladium and g uide." (Edith C. T . LesSing.) ·

General Robert E. Lee, Commander-in-Chief of the Confederate Army. Christian Cavalier, peerless man, unrivaled soldier. Born in Stratford, Westmoreland County, Virginia, January 19th, 1806. Died October 12th, 1870, in Lexington, Va.

General Robert E. Lee, the embodiment of knightly chivalry, whose Christian fidelity to duty, honor and truth, charm of personal charac­ter, purity, refinem ent and gentleness, blended with the matchless genius of the soldier, have placed him on the highest pinnacle of fame. Like vivid flashes of lightning, his life pierced the storm-tossed clouds of reconstruction and lighted the way for the sons of the South, seeking the pathway of knowledge; by precept and example taught them life was not a failure, that defeat was only the spur for higher endeavor, led them away from the valley of despair to the sun­kissed mountain peaks of renewed hopes and courage for the battle of life before them .

.. H e s hea thed his sword with patient pride And lived his life to its stainless end, Crowned w;it~ . ho nors and white with years He PURSed , be lovetl or foe and friend . In the hall of fam e the r e is none iiKe he, A natio n wept at the grave of Lee." (Etlith C. T . l.e9sing.)

(;eneral Thomas Jonathan (Stonewall) Jackson. Born at Clarks­ville, Va ., January 21st, 1824. Died near Chancellorsville, Va., May lOth, 1863. His last words were, "Tell Major Hawks to advance the commissary train. Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees "

" A ruggetl "Stonewall, " barring the way To the surging ford of fanatical wron~.

He knelt, on the eve of Lat~.le , to pray- ­That was our Stonewall Jackson·~ way. "

January 24, 1806-Matthew Fontaine Maury, "Pathfinder of the S.!a," whose character was blameless, whose life of romantic wander­ing and achievements in science and navigation entitle him to a high place on the roll of fame. Died at Lexington, Va., February 1st, 1873.

General 'Vade Hampton-Born in Charleston, S. C., May 28th, 1818; died in 1902, on April 11th, at Columbia, S. C. He was the grandson of Wade Hampton, a general in the Revolutionary War, and was the eldest son of Colonel Wade Hampton, who was equally distinguished during the War of 1812. His first military service was as aide-de­camp to Governor Butler in 1836; later he was captain of the Rich­land Light Dragoons. He was, in turn, member of the State legisla­ture and State senate, resigning this latter post in 1861 to enter the Confederate military service, organizing the "Hampton Legion," which he served as colonel. In 1863 he became major general and on February 14th, 1865, was made lieutenant general. Wade Hamp­ton was a great cavalry soldier, and was equally as efficient during the dark days of reconstruction in servi<:e to the people as governor, United States senator and as United States railroad commissioner.

General Joseph Wheeler-Who with honor wore the gray of the Confederacy, and ennobled the blue of the United States in patriotic service in the Spanish-American War. Born in Augusta, Ga., Sep­tember lOth, 1836; died in Brooklyn, N. Y., January 25th, 1906. Author of "History of Cuba," "Kentucky Campaign."

As he was about to enter the battle he encountered a barefoot pri­vate; he stopped at once, removed his boots and presented them to the private. This incident gave inspiration for the poem, "He'll Not Need Them Again."

General Albert Sidney Johnstun-Bom in Macon County, Ky., Feb­ruary 2nd, 1803; killed in action at the battle of Shiloh, Tenn., April 6th, 1862. He wa s one of the most aggressive of the Confederate generals, with conspicuous ability in leadership of his men in ac­tion.

General John B. Gordon-Born in Upson County, Ga., February 6th, 1832; died in Biscay ne, Fla ., his winter home, January 9th, 1904. He succeeded Stonewall Jackson in command of the Second Army Corps of Northern Virginia, and was wounded five times in the battle of Sharpsburg in 1862.
