    THE MILAM STREET BRIDGE ARTIFACT ASSEMBLAGE: HOUSTONIANS JOINED BY THE COMMON THREAD OF ARTIFACTS – A STORY SPANNING FROM THE CIVIL WAR TO MODERN DAY A Dissertation by JOSHUA ROBERT FARRAR Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Luis F. M. Vieira De Castro Committee Members, Donny L. Hamilton Christopher M. Dostal Joseph G. Dawson III Anthony M. Filippi Head of Department, Darryl J. De Ruiter May 2020 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2020 Joshua R. Farrar ABSTRACT Buffalo Bayou has connected Houston, Texas to Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico since Houston’s founding in 1837. During the American Civil War of 1861-65, Houston served as a storehouse for weapons, ammunition, food, clothing, and other supplies destined for the war effort in Galveston and the rest of the Confederacy. Near the end or soon after the Civil War ended, Confederate material supplies were lost or abandoned in Buffalo Bayou under the Milam Street Bridge in Houston. In 1968, the Southwestern Historical Exploration Society (SHES) recovered around 1000 artifacts with an 80-ton dragline crane operated off the Milam Street Bridge. About 650 artifacts from this collection were rediscovered by the Houston Archeological Society in 2015, stored in filing boxes at the Heritage Society at Sam Houston Park. This dissertation serves as an artifact and document-based study using newspaper accounts, sworn statements, and archaeological reports to assemble and detail the history of the Milam Street Artifact Assemblage – from abandonment in the bayou to rediscovery at the Heritage Society.

Juan Cortina “The Robin Hood of the Rio Grande” • Juan Cortina was a Mexican Rancher who fought in Mexican-American War on the Mexican side. • After Mexico lost the war his land was divided in two. Texas authorities invalidated (taken away) many of his land claims. • "Flocks of vampires, in the guise of men," he wrote, robbed Mexicans "of their property, incarcerated, chased, murdered, and hunted them like wild beasts". •Juan Cortina believed that the rights of Tejanos were being violated throughout Texas. •Cortina carried out acts of violence against corrupt officials. His acts were called Cortina’s War. Juan •He raised a private army that defended “Tejano’s” Cortina against “Anglos” trying to take their land. • The Democrats were the dominant political party, and had Political very little competition from the Parties Whig party. -Texans would vote for southern democrats until the 1980’s! • Sam Houston, though he never joined the party, supported the Know-Nothing party which opposed immigration to the United States.

The Road/rom Nacogdoches to Natchitoches: John Sprowl & the Failed Fredonian Rebellion By RICK SHERROD bit more than one hundred miles ofthe old EI Camino Real separated Natchitoches, the most important Aninetccnth century town in northwest Louisiana, from Nacogdoches, the oldest continuously inhabited city within the currcnt borders ofTexas. The story ofeach city's founding is rooted in a fascinating (iffanciful) Caddo legend about twin brothers. To forestall any future conflict between the families of his two sons, a Caddo chief instructed the twins to depart their tribal home on the Sabine. The brother "Natchitoches" traveled three days toward the rising sun while the other twin, HNacogdoches," journeyed three days to the west. In each respective location, both men raised their families and developed settlements. With sufficient insulation to prevent frictions over rights to hunting grounds, "the two brothers remained friendly and the road between the two communities was well traveled."1 Regular nlovement between the two settlements continued long after the Indian population of the area had vanished.
