CONFEDERATE VETERAN Vol. XXX. No. 10. NASHVILLE, TENN., OCTOBER, 1922. THE GALLANT GRAY BY MILLARD CROWDUS, NASHVILLE, TENN. In homespun gray they marched away, The bugles sang: "Come, life is gay!" Brave hearts beat high, cheers soared to sky, Brave lips stilled sobs: "Good-by, good-by!" In homespun gray they marched away, The bugles laughed: "Come, Youth, and play!' In tattered gray they met the fray, The frantic bugles shrilled: "This way!" Through hell's red glare, on, on, and there — Defeat, at last, but not despair. Poor shattered gray, Fate ruled that day, The bugles sobbed: "Come, come, away!" In hallowed gray they sleep to-day; The bugles hushed and silent lay. The south wind sighs, where battle cries Long echoed—blue and fair the skies — In hallowed gray they sleep to-day, Sweet rest be theirs, the gallant gray!

    THE TEXAS CONFEDERATE HOME for MEN, 1884-1970 Amy Sue Kirchenbauer, B.A

    THE TEXAS CONFEDERATE HOME FOR MEN, 1884-1970 Amy Sue Kirchenbauer, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2011 APPROVED: Richard Lowe, Major Professor Richard McCaslin, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of History Harland Hagler, Committee Member James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Kirchenbauer, Amy Sue, The Texas Confederate Home for Men, 1884-1970. Master of Arts (History), August 2011, 116 pp., bibliography, 91 titles. Founded in 1886 by a local veteran’s organization, the Texas Confederate Home for Men served thousands of veterans throughout its tenure. State-run beginning in 1891, the facility became the center of controversy multiple times, with allegations of mistreatment of residents, misappropriation of funds, and unsanitary conditions in the home. Despite these problems, for several decades the home effectively provided large numbers of needy veterans with a place where they could live out their remaining years. The home was finally closed by the state in 1965, and the buildings were demolished in 1970. The facility’s success helped to inspire Texas to introduce a veteran pension system, and brought forth a new era in the state’s willingness to take care of veterans once their wars were over. Copyright 2011 by Amy Sue Kirchenbauer ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This work would not have been completed without the guidance of Dr. Richard Lowe. He urged me frequently to move beyond the limits of what I thought myself to be capable of, and I am a better historian for it. His dedication to helping me achieve my dreams and hours spent editing my efforts will always be appreciated.

    Soldiers of Long Odds: Confederate Operatives Combat the United

    Soldiers of Long Odds: Confederate Operatives Combat the United States from Within by Stephen A. Thompson Intrepid Consulting Services, Inc. Mattoon, Illinois Illinois State Historical Society History Symposium The Civil War Part III: Copperheads, Contraband and the Rebirth of Freedom Eastern Illinois University 27 March 2014 Preface For the purposes of this forum, the featured contextual development was undertaken for the express reason of introducing the subject matter to a wider audience through a broad presentation of Confederate States of America (CSA) insurrection, subversion and sabotage activities that took place under the expansive standard “Northwest Conspiracy” during 1864 and 1865. This examination is by no means comprehensive and the context is worthy of extensive 21st century research, assessment and presentation. The movement of Captain Thomas Henry Hines, CSA, military commander of the Confederate Mission to Canada, through the contextual timeline presents the best opportunity to introduce personalities, places and activities of consequence. Since Hines led tactical operations and interacted with the public-at-large during this period, the narrative of his activity assists in revealing Civil War-era contextual significance on the national, regional, State of Illinois and local levels. Detailing the activities of Hines and his Canadian Squadron operatives in the northwest is vital to the acknowledgment of significance at all levels. Hence, the prolonged contextual development contained within this treatise. Stephen A. Thompson Mattoon, Illinois 21 January 2014 Cover Image – Captain Thomas Henry Hines, CSA. Toronto, Canada, 1864. Courtesy of Mrs. John J. Winn i Context Dire straits is the only way to describe the predicament in which the governing hierarchy of Confederate States of America found itself as the year of 1864 began.

BENTON COUNTY Fighting on the Tennessee River: located at Birdsong Marina, 225 Marina Rd., Hwy 191 N., Camden, TN 38327. During the Civil War, several engagements occurred along the strategically important Tennessee River within about five miles of here. In each case, cavalrymen engaged naval forces. On April 26, 1863, near the mouth of the Duck River east of here, Confederate Maj. Robert M. White’s 6th Texas Rangers and its four-gun battery attacked a Union flotilla from the riverbank. The gunboats Autocrat, Diana, and Adams and several transports came under heavy fire. When the vessels drove the Confederate cannons out of range with small-arms and artillery fire, Union Gen. Alfred W. Ellet ordered the gunboats to land their forces; signalmen on the exposed decks “wig-wagged” the orders with flags. BLOUNT COUNTY Maryville During the Civil War: located at 301 McGee Street, Maryville, TN 37801. During the antebellum period, Blount County supported abolitionism. In 1822, local Quakers and other residents formed an abolitionist society, and in the decades following, local clergymen preached against the evils of slavery. When the county considered secession in 1861, residents voted to remain with the Union, 1,766 to 414. Fighting directly touched Maryville, the county seat, in August 1864. Confederate Gen. Joseph Wheeler’s cavalrymen attacked a small detachment of the 2nd Tennessee Infantry (U.S.) under Lt. James M. Dorton at the courthouse. The Underground Railroad: located at 503 West Hill Ave., Friendsville, TN 37737.

    Kentucky and Kentuckians in the American Civil War: Nonfiction Materials Available at Madison County Public Library, Plus Selected Websites Voices From the Century Before: The Odyssey of a Nineteenth Century Kentucky Family (K/973.7/Ber in Richmond and Berea) by Mary Clay Berry. “A remarkable family album unfolding as a personal drama of slavery, Civil War and the turmoil of Reconstruction, these letters were written between 1843 and 1867 by men who fought, variously, for both the Union and the Confederacy. Her great-grandfather Brutus Clay, one of Kentucky's major slave owners, was a staunchly conservative yet pro-Union, border-state congressman whose anti-abolitionist stance was diametrically opposite that of his brother Cassius Clay, outspoken opponent of slavery and emancipationist newspaper publisher...The chatty letters, skillfully linked by Berry's commentary, yield an unvarnished account of the brutal realities of slavery, and are a window on Lincoln's election and the war's outbreak and bloody course…” (--Publishers Weekly) The Battle of Perryville, 1862: Culmination of the Failed Kentucky Campaign (K/973.7/Bro in Richmond) by Robert P. Broadwater. “In 1862, the South launched a campaign to bring the indecisive border state of Kentucky into the Confederacy. Full of blunders and missed opportunities, the campaign convinced the Kentuckians that the Confederacy was incapable of holding the state against determined Union forces. Among the disasters was the bloody battle of Perryville. Drawing on research in letters, diaries and regimental histories, this book tells the story of the South's ill-fated effort.” (--from the publisher) Glory at a Gallop: Tales of the Confederate Cavalry (973.7/Bro in Berea) by William R.
