EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION 3 BRIGADIER GENERAL THOMAS GREEN OF TEXAS by Curtis W Milbourn The Civil War produced many interesting personalities. The accom­ plishments of some of the~e individuals have been well documented but countless others have slipped into anonymity. One of these nearly forgotten personalities is a Confederate general whose performance in the oft-neg­ lected Trans-Mississippi Theatre contributed to many Southern successes in New Mexico Territory, Texas, and Louisiana. Nathanial Thomas Green was born on June 8, ]814 in Buckingham County~ Virginia, to Nathan and Mary Field Green. In ]817 the family set­ tled near Winchester, Tennessee, where Nathan Green attained prominence as a judge on the Tennessee Supreme Court and head of the Cumberland University Law School. According to family lore, while Nathanial Green was still a boy he was involved in numerous fights with another lad named Nathanial which resulted in young Green refu~ing to acknowledge his Christian name, thus becoming forever known as Thomas 'lorn" Green.

  • CAJUNS, CREOLES, PIRATES and PLANTERS Your New Louisiana Ancestors Format Volume 1, Number 12
    CAJUNS, CREOLES, PIRATES AND PLANTERS Your New Louisiana Ancestors Format Volume 1, Number 12 By Damon Veach HISTORIC DESOTO: Northwest Louisiana is sometimes overlooked in the overall picture for historical importance. Natchitoches is usually the most discussed because of its early settlement and being on the edge of “no man’s land.” However, there is more to learn about this area, and a new importance is being placed on this section of the state. DeSoto Parish is located between Caddo and Natchitoches parishes, and it has long been overshadowed by these two areas. That is changing. The resurgence of importance can be attributed to the work of the DeSoto Historical Society and to the recent dedication of the Mansfield Female College, which houses the Veach-Foshee Memorial Library Collection. The official dedication as a museum places it in the forefront of importance now, and with the availability of the research library, DeSoto Parish now stands to be recognized for more than just this museum. It is now a major research center for this part of the state. The Mansfield Female College was the first one established for women west of the Mississippi River, and in addition to the library collection, there are other collections here of importance relating to early life on the campus. The DeSoto society publishes a quarterly DeSoto Plume and has several other publications to their credit. Much can be learned by checking out all their books and newsletters. In addition to its historic homes and building in the downtown section, Mansfield was also the home of several important people.

  • Chapter 12: the Lone Star Republic
    RepublicThe of Te x a s 1836–1845 Why It Matters As you study Unit 4, you will learn about Texas as a republic. After the creation of the United States from the original 13 colonies, other territories were granted statehood. Only Texas entered the union as a separate and independent nation. The distinctive nature of Texas owes much to its having been a republic before it was a state and to the influence of its settlers. Primary Sources Library See pages 690–691 for primary source readings to accompany Unit 4. Going Visiting by Friedrich Richard Petri (c. 1853) from the Texas Memorial Museum, Austin, Texas. Socializing with neighbors was an important part of community life during the years of the republic. Not all Texas settlers wore buckskin and moccasins as this well-dressed family shows. 264 “Times here are easy… money plenty, the people much better satisfied.” —Dr. Ashbel Smith, December 22, 1837 GEOGRAPHY&HISTORY RICH HERITAGE There are many reasons why people take the big step of leaving their homes and moving to an unknown land— and Texas, during the years 1820 to 1860, witnessed all of them.
