  • A Is Necessary to an Understanding of How Texans Evolved Their System of Frontier Protection in 1861-1865
    3~79 AI " ' FRONTIER DEFENSE IN TEXAS: 1861-1865 DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By David Paul Smith, B.S., M.Ed., M.A. Denton, Texas December, 1987 HA Smith, David Paul, Frontier Defense in Texas, 1861- 1865. Doctor of Philosophy (American History), December, 1987, 419 pp., 7 illustrations, bibliography, 228 titles. The Texas Ranger tradition of over twenty-five years of frontier defense influenced the methods by which Texans provided for frontier defense, 1861-1865. The elements that guarded the Texas frontier during the war combined organizational policies that characterized previous Texas military experience and held the frontier together in marked contrast to its rapid collapse at the Confederacy's end. The first attempt to guard the Indian frontier during the Civil War was by the Texas Mounted Rifles, a regiment patterned after the Rangers, who replaced the United States troops forced out of the state by the Confederates. By the spring of 1862 the Frontier Regiment, a unit funded at state expense, replaced the Texas Mounted Rifles and assumed responsibility for frontier defense during 1862 and 1863. By mid-1863 the question of frontier defense for Texas was not so clearly defined as in the war's early days. Then, the Indian threat was the only responsibility, but the magnitude of Civil War widened the scope of frontier protection. From late 1863 until the war's end, frontier defense went hand in hand with protecting frontier Texans &.J.

  • CIPA Trial Concludes
    v51n3.qxd 05/08/2002 4:01 PM Page 109 ISSN 0028-9485 May 2002 Volume LI No. 3 The U.S. Congress’s third assault on Internet pornography appears likely to meet the same ignoble end as the previous two. A two-week trial over library filtering ended April 4 with a trio of judges criticizing the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) as an unreasonable intrusion into the rights of Americans to view legal material online. “We are fortunate to be in the Third Circuit Court, whose judges have confronted these issues before and are familiar with many of the interests at stake,” said Judith Krug, direc- tor of the ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom. “This morning, the judges asked prob- ing and detailed questions in preparation for their deliberations.” CIPA, which supporters view as the government’s best shot yet at reining in online pornography, requires public libraries to install filtering software on all computers or lose federal technology funding. Attorneys for a plaintiffs’ coalition of libraries, library patrons and Web site operators, led by the American Library Association, who want CIPA overturned, said in closing arguments for the two-week trial that libraries cannot imple- ment the law without denying patrons their First Amendment right to free speech under CIPA trial the U.S. Constitution. “We’re stuck right in the heart of the First Amendment when we’re talking about concludes libraries,” observed U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit Chief Judge Edward Becker as testimony and argument concluded. Becker heads a three-judge panel that will rule by early May on the plaintiffs’ request for a permanent injunction against CIPA.

Kreneck During the Mexican War Texas volunteers served in the ranks of the American army, and earned an enviable martial reputation. When General Zachary Taylor launched his initial invasion of the enemy's country from Matamoros to Monterrey in the summer and early fall of 1846, his force included two regiments of mounted Texans. The more famous ofthese Lone Star partisans was a regiment whose members came from the area that was then considered West Texas, and was commanded by the intrepid Colonel John Coffee Hays. The preoccupation of writers and historians with the activities of the westerners has clearly overshadowed the imporlant services rendered by the East Texas regiment commanded by George Thomas Wood. The purpose of this paper is not only to redress that imbalance by revealing the East Texans in truer focus, but also to explain why they have received less attention than Hays and his men.

EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION 3 THE SECOND BATTLE OF SAN JACINTO by Max S. Lale A controversy arising out of events immediately following the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836, and involving some of Texas' most notable figures, including Sam Houston, resulted in a libel suit which was not settled until November 20, 1866. The settlement came eighteen months after the Civil War had ended and more than thirty years after what may have been the wanton killing of a high-ranking prisoner of war, another prisoner, and one or more Mexican women. These allegations were brought to public attention by an article in the Texas Almanac for 1859, "San Jacinto Campaign," written by Dr. N.D. Labadie, a surgeon with the Texian army then living in Galveston, where he operated a pharmacy. In addition to medicines his wares also were advertised to include oils, varnishes, window glass, garden seed, cypress and pine shingles, plastering lath, books, and "fine bricks." References were made in the article to Colonel John Forbes, commissary of the Texian army, which he believed defamed his character and damaged his reputation.

    ABSTRACT Making the Bible Belt: Preachers, Prohibition, and the Politicization of Southern Religion, 1877-1918 by Joseph Locke H.L. Mencken coined “the Bible Belt” in the 1920s to capture the peculiar alliance of religion and regional life in the American South. But the reality Mencken described was only the closing chapter of a long historical process. Like the label itself, the Bible Belt was something new, and everything new must be made. This dissertation is the history of its making. Over the course of several decades, and in the face of bitter resistance, a complex but shared commitment to expanding religious authority transformed southern evangelicals’ inward- looking restraints into an aggressive, self-assertive, and unapologetic political activism. Late- nineteenth-century religious leaders overcame crippling spiritual anxieties and tamed a freewheeling religious world by capturing denominations, expanding memberships, constructing hierarchies, and purging rivals. Clerics then confronted a popular anticlericalism through the politics of prohibition. To sustain their public efforts, they cultivated a broad movement organized around the assumption that religion should influence public life. Religious leaders fostered a new religious brand of history, discovered new public dimensions for their faith, and redefined religion’s proper role in the world. Clerics churned notions of history, race, gender, and religion into a popular political movement and, with prohibition as their weapon, defeated a powerful anticlerical tradition and injected themselves into the political life of the early- twentieth-century South. By exploring the controversies surrounding religious support for prohibition in Texas, this dissertation recasts the politicization of southern religion, reveals the limits of nineteenth- century southern religious authority, hints at the historical origins of the religious right, and explores a compelling and transformative moment in American history.
