Like so many well-entrenched, traditional as- sumptions, this one is unwarranted. J. Evetts Haley, in editing one of the extremely rare accounts of the cattle drives to Califor- nia which preceded the Texas-to-Kansas experiment by a decade and a half, slapped the blame for this misunderstanding squarely on the writings of Emerson Hough.

  • April Editorial, We Will Be Back Into Our Everyday Routines
    Past, Present, and Future Easter 1997 By the time most of us read this April editorial, we will be back into our everyday routines. Easter 1997 will have become history. Our hopes and prayers for a beautiful sunrise, along with a great increase in attendance, will have been answered. We have always been assured of a great Easter Memorial Sunrise Service. All of our Grand Prelates have done an outstanding job in carrying out their duties and sending forth a most interesting Easter message. I will give all of you a full report, in detail, on the Easter Sunrise Service in the May issue of the Knight Templar magazine. 29th Annual Voluntary Campaign of the Knights Templar Eye Foundation Sir Knights, the 29th Annual Voluntary Campaign is in trouble. We have eleven weeks to go until the end of this campaign. At the end of the first thirteen weeks, we have a cumulative total of $313,012.48. This total is behind the 28th Voluntary Campaign by $103,317.98. Sir Knights, if this trend continues (We are a little over halfway through the campaign.), drastic cuts may have to be made in our budget for next year. For your information, the budget for next year begins July 1, 1997. Only with help from all of you can we get our 29th Annual Voluntary Campaign back on track. I beg you Grand Commanders to have your Voluntary Campaign Chairmen seek every source for donations. We need your help. Meet Me in St. Louie, Sir Knight Louie! Sir Knights and ladies: Your Triennial Committee is hard at work getting all facets of the Triennial Conclave in their final stages.

    TX01e01.qxp 1/25/2008 9:01 AM Page 15 Chronology of Significant Events 1835-1935 1835 Texas provisional government formed at San Felipe and independence declared by several assemblies, notably one at Goliad on December 20. 1840 Notorious Texas gunman Robert A. Clay Allison was born in Tennessee. Allison killed at least five men before his violent life ended in a wagon accident on July 1, 1887, in Pecos, Texas. Joseph L. Hood, first sheriff of Bexar County, was killed in a melee with Comanche chiefs within the Town Council House during the course of peace negotiations (prior to April 18). 1841 Renowned black lawman Bass Reeves was born this year or perhaps the previous year in Arkansas, then removed with the Reeves family to Grayson County, Texas. Reeves was apparently the first black deputy U.S. marshal to be appointed west of the Mississippi. Charles W. Jackson, a participant in the Regulator-Moderator War, was killed. A year earlier, a judge sent to try Jackson for killing Joseph G. Goodbread was himself killed near Pulaski, Texas, after fleeing for his life. Thomas D. Yocum, proprietor of the Yocum Inn in the Big Thicket country of East Texas, was executed by a Regulator posse on information that Yocum had murdered several people. 1843 John V. Morton, first sheriff of Fort Bend County, was killed by his former deputy, George W. Pleasants (February 7). 15 TX01e01.qxp 1/25/2008 9:01 AM Page 16 16 200 TEXAS OUTLAWS 1844 Texas Ranger George W. Arrington was born in Alabama. 1847 Approximate birth year of Longhair Jim Courtright, probably an Illinois native who moved to Fort Worth in about 1875, then served from time to time in a series of law enforcement positions before starting his own detective service, described by detractors as nothing more than an extortion operation.

  • 1 My Intention Was a Simple Interview, Perhaps with Answers in a Narrative
    El Paso between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries My intention was a simple interview, perhaps with answers in a narrative style, but it really became an historical excursus from nineteenth to the twentieth century of El Paso, a Texas town on the Mexican border. The interview with Professor Catherine E. Magni, teacher of Communication and Arts Teather at Bowie High School in El Paso (USA), tells of a world that the Italian kids of a few decades ago have discovered in the western movies, in the comics Tex Willer, Kit Carson, Davy Crockett and in the cartoons. Mythical stories that made us laugh, grown and now a part of the collective imagination. With a time machine we go down to El Paso in 1830, before the Civil War and the unification of Italy, and we see what happened in the following decades. Where was the city? “It was an American Possession”. Are the houses made of wood as we have seen in many western movies? “No most homes were made of adobe”. What happened in the following decades? “In May of 1846 the forces of Mexico and the United States came to blows over the disputed territory east of the Rio Grande. President James Polk, with an eye on the Santa Fe trade and the territory to the west coast instructed the Governor of Missouri to raise a volunteer force to operate with regular troops under command of Stephen W. Kearney. The First Regiment of Mounted Missouri Volunteers chose a Kentuckian, Alexander Doniphan as their commanding officer. Colonel Doniphan would play no little importance in Southwestern history.

His father, the elder Tom Lea, was a prominent attorney, and served as mayor of El Paso, Texas from 1915-1917, during the tumultuous years of the Mexican Revolution. People and events during this period in the Southwest and on the United States-Mexico border greatly influenced Lea’s life and his art. Tom Lea and his younger brothers, Joe and Dick, attended El Paso public schools, where Tom displayed an early talent for art. After graduating from El Paso High School in 1924, he left home to attend the Chicago Art Institute. After two years of instruction, Lea quit art school in 1926 and began various residential and commercial art projects in the Chicago and Midwest areas. To supplement his income he worked part-time as an art teacher. In 1927, Lea became an assistant to Chicago muralist, John Norton.
