EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION 7l BOOK REVIEWS Lone Star Pasts: Memo!)' and History in Texas, Gregg Cantrell and Elizabeth Hayes Turner, editors (Tcxas A&M University Prcss, 4354 TAMU. Collcge Station, TX 77843-4354) 2007. Contents, Illus. Contributors. Index. P. 296. $19.95. Paperback. $45. Hardcover. During the 1980s, French sociologist Maurice Halbwachs and French social scientist Pierre Nora devcloped the concept of "collectivc memory," an idea that swept the academic world and seemed particularly apt for Texas. Gregg Cantrell and Elizabeth Hayes Turner brought together eleven eminent and entertaining authors to produce collective memories that often challenge factual histories. The articles point out that historians are often ignored by the Texas pub lic who shaped their own version of their pasts. Articles focus on battles fought by the Daughters of the Republic ofTexas over who would restore the Alamo, the United Daughters of the Confederacy in their attempts to commemorate Confederate heroes, and the attempts by the Ku Klux Klan to Ameril:anize their message in the 1920s. -

STEVI HILLMAN Is Running for Marine Maj. Megan M. Mcclung
STEVI HILLMAN is running for Marine Maj. Megan M. McClung 34, of Coupeville, Wash.; assigned to the I Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group, I MEF, Camp Pendleton, Calif.; killed Dec. 6 while supporting combat operations in Anbar province, Iraq. Legacy of female major killed in Iraq grows By Mike Barber, Seattle Post-Intelligencer via AP COUPEVILLE, Wash. — After they received the hard news of their daughter’s death in Iraq in December 2006, Mike and Re McClung cloaked themselves in solitude, declining requests for interviews. But then, Re McClung says, “we had a visitation.” From a dream, a sense, an energy, a voice, Re heard her dead daughter clearly tell the couple to break their silence. “She said, ‘Mom, there’s something you want to say; you better take your sound bite,”’ Re McClung says of the experience. They were not surprised. Maj. Megan Malia Leilani McClung stood a mere 5 feet 4 inches and weighed only 125 pounds, but her spirit was a giant and had been since childhood. When they reached out and began to hear back, the McClungs learned that as a woman and a Marine, their daughter had touched more people in more ways than they could fathom. Wanting to learn more, “we told people, don’t send us flowers, tell us her story,” Mike McClung says. Eighteen months after McClung, 34, was killed by a bomb that blew up her up-armored Humvee, responses arrive every day. Many are e-mails from strangers, like one from the veteran Marine sergeant major who wept for her. -
