Clark, KSJ, led the brief ceremony. Sam Houston IV, KSJ, shared accounts of the gentler side of his great-grandfather, sharing several accounts demonstrating the close friendship with Jeff Hamilton; at the age of 13 in 1853, Jeff worked for the Houston household and as Houston’s personal driver and valet. After Houston’s death in July 1863, Jeff moved with the Houston family to Independence, Texas, and remained with them until Margaret Houston’s death. He remained an honorary member of the Houston family and attended all their reunions and special family events, until his death in Belton in 1941. At the end of the ceremony, Chaplain General Stone closed with a prayer. A wreath of yellow and red roses were placed at Sam (L-R) President General Sam F. Clark Houston’s grave; the red roses are symbolic of the month KSJ, and Past President General Sam of July, remembering his death on July 26, 1863 Houston IV, KSJ MYSTERY PHOTO IDENTIFIED! As promised in the April issue, here are the captions and “the rest of the story,” for those of you who were unable to attend the June Executive Committee meeting in Huntsville. The photograph was taken on April 21, 1911, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Battle of San Jacinto and the unveiling of the monument at Houston’s grave. An original Program of Exercises may be viewed in the Sam Houston Memorial Museum, along with other photos of the event. One panoramic view shows a crowd of several hundred onlookers at the unveiling of the monument. The afternoon event began at 1:00 PM, with a procession formed at the Huntsville Courthouse Square. Exercises at General Houston’s grave began at 2:00 PM. The unveiling was performed by one of Houston’s daughters, Nettie Houston Bringhurst, with a keynote address delivered by Col. William Jennings Bryan. Also delivering some remarks was W.P. Zuber, Veteran of San Jacinto. Of Margaret Lea and Sam Houston’s eight children (Sam Houston, Jr., 1843–1894; Nancy Elizabeth, 1846–1920; Margaret Lea, 1848–1906; Mary William, called “Mary Willie,” 1850–1931; Antoinette Power, called “Nettie,” 1852–1932; Andrew Jackson Houston, 1854-1941; William Rogers, 1858–1891; Temple Lea Houston, 1860– 1905), three of them were in attendance, along with other family members: Antoinette Bringhurst Bush (Nettie “Jr.”) – Houston’s granddaughter, daughter of Nettie Bringhurst, called “Aunt Pet” by some of Houston’s great-grandchildren. Mary Willie Houston Morrow – Houston’s third daughter. cont. pg. 4 3 cont. from pg. 3 William Rogers Houston – Houston’s third son, an Indian agent in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Antoinette Power Houston Bringhurst (Nettie) – Houston’s fourth daughter. Annie McKeever Williams – Franklin Williams’ wife. Franklin Williams – Houston’s grandson. William Jennings Bryan – speaker at the dedication ceremony. Bryan was known for his innate talent at oratory and his famous 1896 “Cross of Gold” speech. General Houston no doubt would have been proud of such a famous person delivering a fine oration. Bryan ran for president of the United States in 1896, 1900 and 1908, ultimately being appointed by Woodrow Wilson as Secretary of State in 1913, less than two years after this ceremony at Houston’s grave. Alfonso Steele – one of the last two Texas Army veterans. William P. Zuber – one of the last two Texas Army veterans; according to authors Dan Kilgore and James E. Crisp in How Did Davy Die? And Why Do We Care So Much?, “Zuber could be called the greatest Alamo folklorist, because he is the single source for the most dramatic episodes of the gallant defense. Only through Zuber does the world know of Travis’ impassioned before-the-battle speech which Zuber literally composed during ‘a phenomenal refreshment of memory.’ Only on Zuber’s word do we know of Travis’ drawing that legendary sword-etched line in the dirt of the Alamo floor. Only Zuber told of the ailing Bowie asking his comrades to lift his cot over the line and of Moses Rose declining to step across, thereby becoming the last man to leave the garrison and escape the slaughter.

Belfiglio The Texas War for Independence erupted with the Battle of Gon­ zales on October 2, 1835.' Centralist forces had renounced the Mex­ ican constitution and established a dictatorship. The Texas settlers, meanwhile, developed grievances. They desired to retain their English language and American traditions, and feared that the Mex­ ican government would abolish slavery. Texans also resented Mex­ ican laws which imposed duties on imported goods, suspended land contracts, and prohibited American immigration. At first the Americans were bent on restoring the constitution, but later they decided to fight for separation from Mexico. Except for research by Luciano G.

  • The Effect of Art Music on Pompeo Coppini: Greatest Sculptor of Texas Monuments*
    Sociology Study, November 2016, Vol. 6, No. 11, 706‐712 D doi: 10.17265/2159‐5526/2016.11.004 DAVID PUBLISHING The Effect of Art Music on Pompeo Coppini: Greatest Sculptor of Texas Monuments* Valentino Belfiglioa Abstract Art music has the ability to communicate, entertain, and inspire other artists. Opera is a dramatic multimedia genre which fuses solo and choral singing with instrumental accompaniment, dance, staging, costumes, scenery, and libretto. This multimedia approach can inspire painters, sculptors, poets, writers, and other musicians in their works. Italian opera greatly inspired Pompeo Coppini—the Italian sculptor. In particular, scenes and arias by Verdi and Puccini correlate with specific tasks involved in the creation of a monument. In creating the Alamo cenotaph, Coppini often played Gioacchino Rossini’s opera, “William Tell” (1829) correlating the sacrifices made by Texans for their independence at the Alamo (1836) with the sacrifices made by Swiss patriots in their independence from Austrian tyranny. This case study suggests that art music can enhance creativity and visual attention among artists of all genres. Keywords Art music, opera, sculpture, inspiration The author stood in front of a bust portraiture of Gaius sculptor, Pompeo Coppini, the greatest sculptor of Julius Caesar (100-44 B.C.) during a visit to the Texas monuments.

(May 2008) Emily Lynn Caulfield, B.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Eric Rothenbuhler This study explores how the unique history, culture, and traditions of Texas A&M University shape students’ perceptions and understandings of diversity and diversity programs. I examine these issues through participant observation of Texas A&M’s football traditions and in-depth, semi-structured interviews with members of the student body. In response to increased media scrutiny, public pressure, and scholastic competition, the current administration has embraced a number of aggressive initiatives to increase diversity among members of the student body.
