gÜ|uâàx gÉ M CSA GENERALS OF

THE LONE STAR STATE OF TEXAS

The State of Texas provided a considerable number of officers who rose to the rank of Brigadier General and were ultimately confirmed by the Confederate Government in Richmond, Virginia. There were a number who were appointed to General Officer Positions within the Trans-Mississippi Department late in the war when communications with Richmond were impossible or the central government could not act even though hostilities in the West required Command Positions to be filled. It is our pleasure to Honor and Commemorate these Honorable Men who served the Confederate States of America, of which Texas was a proud member.

He was Secretary of The Commission for establishing the boundary between the U S and the Republic of Texas in 1839 and then the Secretary of the Texas Senate in 1846. After service in the Mexican War as a 2nd Lieutenant of the Texas Rangers, he was a member of the Texas Legislature, and Speaker of the House for one term.

Elected Brigadier General of the Provisional Army of Texas commanding state troop on the Texas coast in 1861, Bee was appointed Brigadier General in the Confederate Army to rank from March 4, 1862. He was placed in Command at Brownsville, Texas, where he handled importation of munitions from overseas through Mexico and the return exportation of cotton in payment. In this capacity he functioned largely in an administrative position until he took the field with Texas Troops facing N. P. Banks in the Red River Campaign of 1864. This was his initial field Command and he was subject to some criticism. In February 1865 he was assigned to Command a Division of Cavalry under Gen. John A. Wharton, and was later given a Brigade of Infantry in Gen. S. B. Maxey's Division.

At the close of the war he went to Mexico for a time, but returned to San Antonio in 1876 where he lived until his death, Oct. 3, 1897. He is buried in the Confederate Cemetery in San Antonio.

Shortly thereafter he was elected Colonel of the 14th Texas Cavalry. This Regiment, dismounted, he led through Gen. Bragg's invasion of Kentucky and distinguished himself by hard fighting at the Battles of Richmond and Murfreesboro. He had meantime been commissioned Brigadier General to rank from August 23, 1862, Commanding the 10th, 11th, 14th, and 32nd Texas Regiments of Dismounted Cavalry. He was present at Chickamauga, and returned to Mississippi to take part in the Atlanta Campaign, during which he had a leg amputated. This injury put an end to his active field service although he participated in the defense of Mobile during the latter days of the war.

Ector returned to Texas to resume his law practice and was later elevated to the bench.

He died in Tyler, October 28, 1879, while serving as presiding Justice of the Texas Court of Appeals. He is buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Marshall, Texas. Ector County, Texas, is named in his honor.

County, Mississippi, March 1, 1831. He was educated at Oakland College in Rodney, Mississippi. Removing to Texas in the early 1850’s, he established himself in Waco, studied law, was admitted to the bar, and served as Chief Justice of McLennan County from 1856 to 1858, an office roughly similar to chairman of the county board of supervisors.

He recruited the Waco Guards in 1861, took it east, and was elected Major of the 7th Texas Infantry in October of that year. After he was captured and exchanged at Fort Donelson, he became Colonel of the 7th Texas, serving in the Vicksburg Campaign, at Chickamauga, and at Chattanooga.

Tom Green was killed in action by a shell from one of the Federal gunboats at Blair’s Landing, Louisiana, April 12, 1864. He is buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Austin, Texas.

He and his regiment were surrendered and exchanged at Fort Donelson. The following February he was promoted Brigadier General to rank from August 29, 1862. He was assigned to the Division of John Bell Hood, Longstreet’s Corps, and his Brigade was a part of the very successful “wedge” driven into the Federal line at Chickamauga. Gregg was severely wounded in this engagement. After his recovery and the return of his unit to the Army of Northern Virginia, he was assigned to Command of the Texas Brigade which he led with conspicuous bravery at the Wilderness and during the ensuing Overland Campaign of 1864.

JAMES EDWARD HARRISON

1815 – 1875

JOHN BELL HOOD 1831 – 1879

John Bell Hood, born in Owingsville, Kentucky, June 1, 1831, and graduated from West Point in the class of 1853 had by all odds the most spectacular advance in rank of any officer in the Confederate Service. After serving in California and Texas, he resigned his union 1st Lieutenant position on April 17, 1861.

There after he distinguished himself on a dozen battlefields as a Regimental, Brigade, and Division Commander in the Army of Northern Virginia. Initially he was a Captain of Cavalry and then Colonel of the 4th Texas Infantry on September 30, 1861. After promotion to Brigadier General to rank from March 3, 1862, he Commanded the Texas Brigade composed of the 1st, 4th, 5th Texas Infantry as well as the 18th Georgia and Hampton’s Legion Infantry during the Peninsula Campaign and Second Manassas.

After being severely wounded in the arm at Gettysburg where his troop performed superbly and after losing a leg at Chickamauga, he was appointed Lieutenant General on February 1, 1964, to rank from September 20, 1863, and assigned to a corps under Joseph E Johnston whom he ultimately superseded. Hoods Corps was composed of the Divisions of Hindman, C L Stevenson, and A P Stewart, Army of Tennessee. Hood was appointed full General with temporary rank on July 18, 1864. After severe Battles of Peachtree Creek, Atlanta, Ezra Church, and Jonesboro, Hood marched his army into Tennessee. Federal Gen J M Schofield withdrew before Hood, but slipped by Hood’s forces to occupy Franklin and fortify sufficiently to shatter Hood’s frontal assault. Hood pressed on to Nashville ill supplied in the dead of winter where his army was devastated by Union Gen. George Thomas. Hood was then relieved at his own request in January 1865 and reverted to his permanent rank of Lieutenant General. In May he surrendered himself in Natchez, Mississippi.

He later made his residence in New Orleans, where he died of yellow fever, together with his wife and one of his children. He is buried in Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans. Before his death, Hood wrote a volume of memoirs.

ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON 1803 – 1862

Albert Sidney Johnston, was born in

Washington, Kentucky, February 2, 1803. He was educated at Transylvania University and at West Point, from which he graduated in 1826. He served in the army for a number of years and saw action in the Black Hawk Wars before resigning in 1834. In 1836 he went to Texas and enlisted as a Private in The Revolutionary Army. Within a year he rose to be the Senior Brigadier General and Chief Commander. He was Secretary of War of the Republic of Texas from 1838 to 1840. After Texas was admitted to the Union, he became Colonel of a Regiment of Texas Volunteers in the Mexican War and fought at Monterrey. He was reappointed to the U S Army in 1849 and served on the Texas frontier, becoming Colonel of the 2nd Cavalry in 1855, and was in Command of the Department of Texas from 1856 to 1858. He led the Utah expedition against the Mormons in 1857 and was made Brevet Brigadier General for his services. From 1858 to 1860 he Commanded the Department Utah.

When Texas seceded from the union Johnston was commanding the Department of the Pacific. He resigned his commission on May 3, 1861, and was appointed a full General in the Regular Army of the Confederacy on August 31, 1861, to rank from May 30, 1861. Placed in Command of all Confederate Troops west of the Alleghenies, he strove to implement the current Richmond strategy of holding all points of the invaded states with isolated detachments. After concentrating an army at Corinth, Mississippi, he successfully attacked Grant at Shiloh, but was mortally wounded in the engagement and bled to death on the battlefield.

April 6, 1862. It has been determined that the site of his death at Shiloh is actually about 100 yards north of where his marker is currently placed. Johnston’s military capabilities are a matter of some controversy. Confederate President Jefferson Davis had implicit confidence in him and, after some entreaties to remove him from command after the loss of Forts Henry and Donelson, stated that “if Sidney Johnston is not a General . . . we have no General”. He is buried in the Texas State Cemetery in Austin, Texas.

WILBURN HILL KING 1839 – 1910

Wilburn Hill King, was born June 10, 1839, in

Cullodenville, Georgia. He studied both law and medicine in Americus, Georgia and settled in Cass County, Texas, in 1860. The outbreak of the war found King in Warrensburg, Missouri, engaged in business. He immediately enlisted in the Missouri State Guard and was elected Lieutenant of the “Johnson Guards” which became part of the 3rd Infantry Regiment which King led as Captain in the Battle’s of Carthage and Wilson’s Creek and where he was wounded. Upon discharge he returned to Texas and enlisted as a Private with the 18th Texas Infantry. On May 13, 1862, he was elected Major, promoted to Lt. Colonel February 25, 1863, and Colonel on August 10, 1863. The 18th was attached to McCullough’s (later Walker’s) Texas Infantry Division. The fall of 1863 found the 18th temporarily attached to Tom Green’s Cavalry Division fighting in Louisiana. In his first action as Colonel, King led his troops with “undaunted firmness” successfully attacking in the Battle of Bayou Bourbeau, November 3, 1863. By 1864 the 18th rejoined Walker’s Division, and at the April 8, 1864, Battle of Mansfield , they helped smash three Union Divisions in a whirlwind assault. King was

severely wounded in the attack and spent several months recuperating. On April 16, 1864, Gen. Kirby Smith assigned King to duty as a Brigadier. The intention was that king would take Command of the Texas Brigade formerly led by Camille Polignac, but due to his wounds king was unable to do so until October. In February, 1865, King was assigned to Command the newly formed 4th Brigade in Walker’s Old Division and by the end of the war he was Divisional Commander.

Upon the collapse of the Confederacy King fled to Mexico and then briefly operated a sugar plantation in Central America. He then returned to Texas and practiced law in Jefferson. In 1875 he moved to Sulphur Springs where he was Mayor of the town, a State Representative 1875-1881, and Adjutant General of Texas 1881 to 1891.

After 1891 he retired to his home in Sulphur Springs and devoted himself to Masonic Order affairs. He died on December 12, 1910, in Sulphur Springs and is buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Corsicana, Texas.

He cruised the Gulf of Mexico as a crewman of a Texas privateer, fought Indians, taught school, and served during the Mexican War as a Captain of a company of rangers. Between 1849 and 1858 he spent much of his time in mining in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Peru, making and losing several small fortunes.

Lane was elected Lieutenant Colonel of the 3rd Texas Cavalry, July 2, 1861, with which unit he fought at Pea Ridge (Elkhorn Tavern). He was active in Louisiana in 1863 and fought in the Red River campaign the following year where he was severely wounded in the Battle of Mansfield. He was recommended for promotion by Gen. Kirby Smith and was Commissioned Brigadier General to rank from March 17, 1865, being confirmed by the Confederate Senate the very last day that body met. Lane’s brigade was composed of the Texas Cavalry Regiments of Lane, Baylor, Chisholm, Madison, Walker, and Carter in the division of Maj. Gen. John A. Wharton, ATM.

As the years passed he became symbolic of the heroic age in Texas history and was long the idol of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas and the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Never married, he passed in Marshall, Texas, January 28, 1892, and is buried there in Old City Cemetery.

HINCHIE PARHAM MABRY 1829 – 1884

He attended the University of Tennessee for one year in 1849, but was compelled to leave due to lack of funds whereupon he moved in 1851 to Jefferson, Texas, and became a merchant. He practiced law and was a state representative from 1856 to 1861.

Although he opposed secession, Mabry raised the “Dead Shot Rangers” of he 3rd Texas Cavalry and was elected Captain on June 13, 1861. The 3rd rode to Missouri and fought at the Battle of Wilson’s Creek, August 10, 1861. While on a scouting mission in the fall of 1861 he was shot through the arm. He recovered sufficiently to lead his company on March 6 and 7, 1862, at the Battle of Pea Ridge, but bore a crippled arm and hand the rest of his life. The regiment reorganized May 8, 1862, and Mabry was elected Lieutenant Colonel. At the Battle of Iuka, September 19, 1862, he was severely wounded and captured. After being exchanged in October, he was promoted to full Colonel. He returned to Texas to recuperate from his wounds. In the summer of 1863 he rejoined the 3rd and was given temporary command of Brigadier General John W. Whitfield’s brigade of Texas Cavalry. During 1864 and 1865, Mabry led a Mississippi Cavalry Brigade in actions throughout northern and central Mississippi. He won praise for being absolutely fearless and a strong disciplinarian and was repeatedly recommended for promotion by his superiors. His most noted exploit was the capture of Union gunboat Petrel near Yazoo City, Mississippi, in 1864. He Commanded a Brigade in Lt. General N. B. Forrest’s Cavalry Corps until the Army of Tennessee’s 1864 invasion into Tennessee when he was left behind to guard the army’s line of supply.
