  • Miss-Charles
    Last Update: June 5, 2020 C.M. MAYO has written widely about Mexico, Texas, and the US-Mexico borderlands. Among her works are Metaphysical Odyssey into the Mexican Revolution: Francisco I. Madero and His Secret Book, Spiritist Manual and the historical novel based on the true story, The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire, which was named a Library Journal Best Book of 2009. A native of El Paso, Texas, and a long- time resident of Mexico City, she is also a noted translator of Mexican literature. In 2017 she was elected a member of the Texas Institute of Letters. Her wesbite is www.cmmayo.com. GREAT POWER IN ONE: MISS CHARLES EMILY WILSON We tell our stories not just to rehearse the past but also to condition the present and, thereby, to prepare the future. Bruce Jackson, The Story Is True I. In our screen-enthralled world with entertainment at a click, how easy it is to underestimate the transcendent power of an oral historian such as Miss Charles Emily Wilson of Brackettville, Texas. Picture her as she appears in Jeff Guinn's Our Land Before We Die: The Proud Story of the Seminole Negro: an elderly lady on her garden-chair throne on her float in Brackettville's Seminole Days parade. It is the year 2000. Her face bright below the shadow of her broad-brimmed hat, she wears a double-strand of pearls, a flowered skirt. A big purse balances on her knees. Two children, perhaps first graders, sit each in their 2 folding-chair on either side of her.1 Even today, after books and articles by anthropologists, historians, and journalists, and after TV reports, documentaries, YouTube videos, websites, and swirls of social media posts have appeared about the history that she preserved by telling the stories of her ancestors again and again, decade after decade, to students, to anyone interested, not many people in Texas, never mind beyond Texas, have heard of her people, never mind of her.

The Medal of Honor is bestowed "for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life, above and beyond the call of duty, in actual combat against an armed enemy force." The medal is awarded by the President of the United States on behalf of the Congress. Of the 3,469 Medals of Honor awarded as of 2010, 28 have been awarded to Native Americans.
