How do you capture the big spirit of a people in words? Where did that spirit come from and how does it persist in a world where others are repeatedly trying to tear and divide it? It’s Texas! I had to write this article. Just look at Texas! After weeks that have just broken my heart with the divisiveness of a Nation… will you just look at Texas? I guess today I think we have every right to believe that we are “Different” than anywhere else! Different in a great and wonderful way! Harvey did not give us enough time to safely evacuate all of those that needed to be evacuated considering the rain event…so everyone pitched in! I saw article after article…page after page of people with boats helping the stranded and endangered, as well as and in assistance to a sizeable but overwhelmed First Responder Force. I am so proud of you Texas, as this picture depicts; we are tattered but

not broken. Texas, got help. People came from everywhere, as far away as New York to help us save our people from the ravages of this storm! A nation that pulled together? Imagine… as you cast your memory back to Charleston. Hard times, disasters bring out the best in most people… and this was no exception. At this writing, Tuesday afternoon the forecast offered some light at the end of the tunnel as
Harvey meandered back into the gulf and headed Northeast at 3 mph. Rain still pelted battered South Texas as emergency teams, aided by a growing contingent of citizen-rescuers plunged into flood water seeking people stranded by historic flooding in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. In all the devastation only 9 lives have been lost so far. It is a small number for the affected population, of course one is too many however, it is a tribute to our state that more were not lost, as first

responder and rescue teams from everywhere worked right beside regular people pulling survivors from the murky, rising waters. Forecasters are still saying that up to 20 inches of additional rain could fall on parts of Texas and Louisiana by Thursday. Harvey flooding will get worse before it gets better, reservoirs were opened to release water to relieve the stress the downpour has caused in the region, the dams are all open and Lake Livingston is pouring out a record 110, 604 cubic feet per second into the Trinity River dam. which has seen 40 inches of rain in just a few days. continued page 4
LEAKEY ISD STARTS A GREAT YEAR First day enrollment for Leakey School was 5% more than first day last year with 310 students. The 310 students included two students stranded here from Rockport with a damaged community and school to return to. Dr. Skipper said, “We were happy that we could accommodate them here during this difficult time in their lives.” Students started at 8:00 a.m.Monday and finished at 3:45 p.m. under the watchful eye of principal, DeeAnna Blanton, and counselor, Pat Sewell. Mrs. Blanton could be seen with maintenance staff throughout the day checking on classrooms and ensuring enough desks were added to accommodate the school’s growth. Special thanks go to Jim Couvillon, Jeff Bobo, Magdelana Sosa, and Maribel Hernandez for getting the classrooms cleaned and ready for the new school year. Some renovations were also started this summer on the library building. The old circulation desk was removed and the circulation desk passed to Leakey School from the city Library when they were renovated was put in place. A librarian work room was carved out of the existing space. New bookshelves have been ordered. Eventually the full library building will be opened up for library books and technology. One of the classrooms already has computers in it for library use. Last year, the schools site base committee made up of Barbara Skipper, Gerald Lugaresi, Pat Sewell, Lorri Gonzalez, Kelly Douglas, Leslie Rodriguez, David Allen, Juanita Buchanan, Linda Massmann, Rick Davis Amy Springer, Leticia Rodriguez completed campus/district goal setting. Recommendations from the site-base committee that were implemented this year were a campus

HARVEY “We are seeing catastrophic flooding, and this will likely expand and it will persist as it’s slow to recede,” Louis W. Uccellini, the National Weather Service director, said. “This is the most significant flooding that we’ve ever seen,” said Montgomery County Sheriff’s Captain Bryan Carlisle, who added that deputies had performed at least 60 rescue missions on Monday. “It’s helped that the rain has slowed down somewhat. We’re going to be dealing with flooding for the foreseeable future.” “We have not seen an event like this,” William “Brock” Long, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency,

said Monday morning at a news briefing. “You could not draw this forecast up. You could not dream this forecast up.” So, what did Texas do? We waded to higher ground, got our boats and “big” trucks and went to get people who were in danger. We opened our homes, hearts and pocketbooks to people who

have lost everything. People tubing in their yards, chasing fish in their living rooms, pulling kids out on surf boards and inflated air mattresses. I saw one guy floating around inside his flooded home in an inflatable raft with a pillow, blanket and ice chest. Poignant good hearted people buoying the spirits of those who were hurt…giving them hope, rescuing pets and laughter, I saw laughter mingled with tears in

shoulder deep water... It is a big spirit in Texas and one we should defend at all cost and strive to keep. There were also people defending their property and looters shooting at rescuers, price gouging for fresh water, and desperate people in rising water overwhelmed the boats that were there to help them. The situation was dire and life threatening. People drug belongings behind them on makeshift rafts down the flooded freeways normally clogged with the work traffic of one of the important cogs of the US economic wheel. There were thousands of rescues, 9 deaths and hundreds and hundreds of stories. It is not over yet, not by a long shot. However, the people of Texas will persevere… It’s what we’re made of!

“Somewhere in the West” WILLIAM F. WILSON By Linda Kirkpatrick
In 1789 behind the Lexington, Virginia Presbyterian Church, a quiet little cemetery awaited its inhabitants. This small cemetery, later to be named the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery, is the final resting place to General Stonwall Jackson and some members of his family, 144 Confederate veterans, two Virginia governors, John Letcher, James McDowell and Margaret Junkin Preston, the Civil War Poet Laureate of the South and many others. Also resting there, surrounded by this elite group of people is a man who made his mark in Texas history. This man, like many others from the state of Virginia, headed west to the conflicts in Texas. There was land to take and scores to settle. William F. Wilson arrived in Texas in 1836. We do know that he was born in Lexington, Virginia in 1799 but the next time we find him he is in Texas and the year is 1836. He arrived in Harrisburg but I was unable to find the exact so I am assuming that it may have been after the Battle of San Jacinto. In following the story of William F. Wilson, I found many holes that just left me wondering where he was and what he was doing during those times. The following accounts his story. Records indicate that he came to Texas in 1836. The reason s could be several. There was a lot of conflict in Texas and his desire to come here may have been because of a military background. Secondly, there was still free land for the taking. He may have come with his friend to settle a score. That friend lost his brother at the Battle of Goliad, after the fall of the Alamo. That friend of Wilson’s was none other than William Alexander Anderson Wallace, more commonly known as Big Foot Wallace and he was determined to avenge his brother’s death. In the year of 1839, William F. Wilson was 40 years of age. He made Captain of the Texas Rangers stationed in Galveston. The main object of the Texas Rangers was controlling the Comanche but the issues with Mexico still boiled. So Wilson and Wallace felt compelled to help settle those matters. That decision almost cost them their lives. On Christmas Eve, the Texans attacked the town of Mier, Mexico. The Texans were greatly outnumbered and the Battle of Mier was short lived. The Mexican officer offered them the opportunity to surrender. If they chose not to surrender, there would be no quarter. Big Foot trusted no one and was the last to surrender. They thought that as prisoners, they would receive fair treatment but they did not. Later, under the direction of Wilson, 193 men escaped and most were later recaptured. Santa Anna ordered the recaptured prisoners to be shot but instead the method of killing would result in the drawing of the black beans. Because he was an officer, Wilson was close to the front of the line. He noticed that the black beans were on the top of the white beans. Wilson whispered to the first man to dig deep and word traveled down the line. Wilson drew a white bean. The seventeen men who drew the black beans were shot until they were dead. The rest went back to prison but were later released, or so the story goes. Wilson continued his military life. In 1843, he became Quartermaster of the Texas Militia, 2nd Regiment, 2nd Brigade. He later served a hitch as sheriff of Galveston, Texas. In 1846 and it is not known where, he married Mary Ann Clinton. Wilson was 47 years old. President Buchanan appointed Wilson as the Indian Agent in Omaha Nebraska in 1856. Wilson and his wife, if she was with him, returned to Virginia in May of 1861. He arrived there in time to advance his military skills as Captain of the Confederate State of America, Virginia Volunteers. Wilson was 62 years of age. It was on July 5, of 1861 in Winchester, Virginia that he was to make his appeal to the Rangers of Texas to come and join the cause. The day turned disastrous. The following article in the Richmond Dispatch, tells the story. “Sad Accident—One Man Killed and two seriously Wounded
Lexington, Va, July 18, 1861 I write to give you a reliable account of a most unfortunate and distressing disaster which occurred in this town on the last night, which resulted in the instant death of one of our most highly esteemed and respected citizens, Col. Cameron, the probable death of a young man fifteen or sixteen years of age, son of Dr. McClung of this place and the wounding of a Third Adjutant, Smith a graduate of the V. M. Institute at the last session. The circumstances are briefly as follows: The stage from Staunton reached here about 11 o’clock. P. M., and quite a large crowd had collected in front of the “Lexington House,” eager to hear the latest news from the seat of war. Among the passengers was a young man from Baltimore by the name of Sturman, who came up from Winchester with Colonel Wm. F. Wilson, for the purpose of recruiting a guerilla company in this and the surrounding counties. They both brought with them Minnie rifles, which were loaded but the caps removed--When the stage drove up, young Sturman stepped from the coach to the platform, which was covered with people, with both guns in his hand, but, in the act of stepping out, the cock of one of the guns caught in the middle ( could not read _____), and flinging back, caused the explosion of the piece with horrible results above mentioned. The explosion was probably due to the fact that a portion of the fulminating powder remained on the tube. The rifle was charged with but one conical ball, and Cadet Smith , who was standing nearest the coach, was the first wounded. The ball struck him on the back of the wrist and glancing upward, passed out through the sleeve making a flesh wound two or three inches in length. William McClung who was standing just in his rear on the platform, was next struck, the ball hitting him a little forward and just above the ear, on the right side of his head, and tearing off a piece of the skull some three inches in diameter, and severely lacerating the brain, portions of which were scattered over his person and on the pavement around him. Up to this time (Thursday night) he is still alive but unconscious and his recovery is almost beyond hope. Col Cameron, who was standing on the pavement near the platform, was the next and last struck. The ball entered the neck on the left side, just above the clavicle, passing backwards it was driven against the vertebrae, and glancing from this course downwards towards the point of the shoulder, and lodged near the surface. He was killed instantly, dying without a struggle. This distressing casuality has spread a gloom over the whole community, and the now almost daily occurrence of such accidents from the careless handling of fire arms would seem to call for some action on the part of those in authority to compel soldiers leaving camp to lay aside their firearms, or if they much needs make a display of them in the name of humanity, let the ammunition be left where it is more needed. “Rock” ” William F. Wilson died later in this month, July 1861. Could it be that this incident, weighing heavy on the heart, caused his death or could he have been a causality of the war. No one has found that answer. His head stone at the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery reads, “He was a Texian Revolutionist in 1836. Taken prisoner at the Battle of Mier in 1842. Officer in the US Army and the Confederate Army.” His wife, Mary Ann, is buried near. Her life is one of interest too. She returned to Texas after her husband’s death. Documents show her living in Austin for a few years. I suspect that maybe there were relatives there or maybe she came back to claim her husband’s land grants, just another mystery to solve. William F. Wilson’s legacy lives on and is proof of his character. Wilson County that joins Bexar County is named in his honor. So next time you travel to Floresville, the county seat of Wilson County, remember the story of William F. Wilson.

Texas Comptroller Details Agency Response to Hurricane Disaster, Offers Prayers for Victims
(AUSTIN) — Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar offered prayers of support for those affected by Hurricane Harvey, while detailing his office’s role in disaster response. “We are praying for those who’ve been devastated by this disaster, and we’re doing all we can to support those who are working tirelessly to rescue fellow Texans still in harm’s way,” Hegar said. “As part of the overall state response, our agency is focusing primarily on ensuring resources are available to rescue and recovery efforts. We’ve been shepherding emergency purchase orders, executing emergency contracts and working with agencies to marshal state resources.” On Friday, Aug. 25, the Comptroller’s office announced extensions available to businesses and taxpayers in declared disaster areas and worked with Governor Greg Abbott to exempt evacuees
and relief workers from hotel occupancy tax through Sept. 6. For more information on these efforts, please visit our website for answers to frequently asked questions. The agency continues to explore additional measures that may be available in response to the unfolding disaster and relief efforts. During natural disasters, the Comptroller’s office contributes to the state’s response by streamlining the state procurement process so emergency responders get the tools they need to conduct rescue and relief operations quickly and efficiently. In the last few days, Comptroller employees have been deployed to the State Operations Center to help acquire more than 650 buses for evacuations; heavy equipment needed for the Texas Department of Transportation; hundreds of toilets and sanitation facilities for shelters and disaster response facilities; and countless gallons of water, bottles of sunscreen, bags of ice and other emergency supplies. While the economic impact of this
event remains undetermined, Texas has constitutional, statutory and discretionary authority to manage the state’s finances during natural disasters. These management tools provide the state with the flexibility it needs to be responsive while managing the state’s financial position. “In the coming weeks and months, the focus of relief efforts will shift from heroic rescues and extensive evacuations to the long process of rebuilding our communities and neighborhoods,” Hegar said. “My office will continue to monitor the state’s economy to ensure Texas is in the best possible financial position to meet those challenges and emerge stronger on the other side of this disaster. Until that time, we will continue to pray for the safety and security of our fellow Texans and assist in any way we can.”
Governor Abbott Visits Coastal Bend Region And Surveys Storm Damage Left By Hurricane Harvey Governor Greg Abbott visited the Coastal Bend region where he received a briefing and gave an update on Hurricane Harvey. The Governor then toured the region speaking with Texans impacted by the storm and surveying the extensive damage in the areas affected by Harvey. During his visit, the Governor was inspired by the resilience and bravery of the communities in that region, and he reaffirmed Texas’ commitment to doing everything possible to help people rebuild and recover. “A Texas-sized storm requires a Texas-sized response, and that is exactly what the state will provide,” said Governor Abbott. “While we have suffered a great deal, the resiliency and bravery of Texan’s spirits is something that can never be broken. As communities are comeing together in the aftermath of this storm, I will do everything in my power to make sure they have what they need to rebuild.”
“While this is still a dangerous situation with a long response effort ahead, the state and people of Texas are resilient,” said FEMA Administrator Brock Long. “FEMA was here before the storm hit, and we will be here as long as needed, actively coordinating the full resources of the federal government, to support Governor Abbott and the state.” Senator John Cornyn also joined the Governor on the ground today to survey
the region and help facilitate coordination of the federal, state, and local response to the recovery effort in Texas. While touring the damage in Rockport, Governor Abbott was approached by a local veteran who recovered the American Flag that was flying at Rockport City Hall. She asked the Governor to deliver the flag to Rockport Mayor C.J. Wax, which he did.

Regal Autumn Karen Tucker Merrill From summers darkened green ..To autumns flame red, The guards have changed quietly, ..And the golden one holds high her head. Like fire burning on the hillside They stand – old guardsmen bold, Surrounding the beautiful one all dressed in gold. The forest is queen autumns castle With windows all glowing brightly, Lit by sunbeam matches that reach out And touch earth so lightly.

Josefina Ruiz
(September 7, 1932 - August 25, 2017) A Mother’s Love There’s no love like a mother’s. Her heart is filled with care. With Christ as her example, Her Savior’s love she’ll share. A mother’s love is endless, not changing for all time. When needed by her children, a mother’s love will shine. God bless these special mothers, God bless them every one. For all their tears and heart aches, and special work they’ve done. When days on earth are over, a mother’s love lives on, through many generations with God’s blessings on each one. Be thankful for our mothers, who love with higher love. From power God has given, and strength from up above. Josefina Ruiz of Rocksprings, Texas passed away Friday, August 25, 2017, at her home.

News HARVEY…And…he just kept strengthening! The last Category 4 storm to hit the Texas Gulf Coast before Harvey was Carla in 1961. He was just a Tropical Depression and then two days later he was approaching the coast as a Category 4. The coastal devastation is cataclysmic and at this writing the storms still hovers almost stationary over Texas but is losing strength. It will be weeks and months before any estimates of damages can be made but I think the devastation of the storm and the rising flood waters will work together to make the largest casualty storm ever or at least rival Katrina who hit in 2005 and went through LA, MS, AL, and FL and caused $105,840,000,000.00 in damage. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE-Houston is being inundated with “unprecedented” flooding after the ferocious Hurricane Harvey set in over the Texas Gulf Coast this weekend, dumping torrential rain on the city with no end in sight for days. “This event is unprecedented & all impacts are unknown & beyond anything experienced. Follow orders from officials to ensure safety,” The National Weather Service (NWS) said Sunday morning. Of course, this will be an ongoing event. Some weather forecasters are predicting 3-5 more days of rain on Sunday. MEXICO- In a Mexico ‘Tired of Violence,’ Zapatista Rebels Venture into Politics! Zapatista is a member or supporter of a Mexican revolutionary force working for social and agrarian reforms, which launched a popular uprising in the state of Chiapas in 1994. María de Jesús Patricio Martínez, a healer from the indigenous Nahua people, has been endorsed by the Zapatistas in next year’s presidential elections. The Zapatistas, the most powerful political rebels in Mexico in nearly 100 years, are renouncing armed revolution, after decades of opposing the government, for a simple reason: Mexico is so riddled with violence, they say, that the country cannot handle any more of it. The decision is a searing commentary on the state of Mexico today, analysts say. The rebels have not reached a peace deal with the government, nor won their longstanding push for indigenous rights. But killings in Mexico are rising so quickly that even a movement rooted in armed struggle feels

compelled to back away from violence. “This shows the extent to which Mexicans are tired of violence,” said Jesús SilvaHerzog, a political-science professor at the School of Government at Tecnológico de Monterrey. “Political radicalism today has to be pacifist because the public, social and economic life in Mexico has been stained with blood for far too long.” NOTE-The US has issued travel bans to American Citizens as violence escalates in Cozumel and other favored American tourist destinations. WASHINGTON CALLS FOUL-White House Buries Controversial News Under Hurricane Harvey Watch. Trump is under fire over epic Friday news dump. Both GOP senators from Arizona criticized his Joe Arpaio pardon, and Chuck Schumer accused Trump of using Hurricane Harvey as a shield. It was a Friday night news dump like rarely seen before: President Donald Trump’s administration announced a series of polarizing decisions that had been under discussions for weeks, just as a hurricane bore down on the Texas coast. The pardon, the exit and the guidelines for the transgender ban all came on Friday evening, as a ferocious hurricane barreled down the Texas coastline, dizzying chyron operators and buzzing phones across Washington. White House aides and advisers said it was coordinated to handle polarizing decisions that were sure to alienate various constituencies. He did sign a disaster declaration which allows Texas more help and services. FARMINGTON — A New Mexico State Police officer was shot during a policeinvolved shooting here this morning, according to the law enforcement agency’s Twitter account. State Police, along with officers for the Farmington Police Department and deputies for the San Juan
County Sheriff’s Office, had the area around the Citizens Bank at 4220 Hudson St. closed, along with portions of Largo Street. State Police stated in a Twitter posting that the officer was being treated and was “believed to be OK.” NORTH KOREA-’Restraint’ Appears to Be Over as North Korea Launches Missile Test Again. A South Korean soldier at the Seoul Train Station watches footage of North Korea’s missile launch on Saturday. North Korea launched three short-range ballistic missiles from its east coast into the sea, beginning at 5:40 p.m. EST Friday over a period lasting an hour, according to the U.S. Pacific Command. Two of the missiles flew about 150 miles while the other one appears to have blown up almost instantly. The test “shows an advance in capability,” says The Times because the “missiles were 300-millimeter rockets fired from a multiple-tube launcher.” The White House said President Trump was briefed on what happened and “we are monitoring the situation.” Earlier this month Trump had warned that North Korea would be met with “fire and fury,” if it continued with its threats. But earlier this week the rhetoric appeared to be cooling — at least on the American side — as Trump expressed optimism about North Korea on Tuesday, saying of leader Kim Jong Un, “I respect the fact that he is starting to respect us.” THE FIGHT-Mayweather Defeats McGregor in 10th-Round TKO.

Mayweather, left, defeated Connor McGregor in a super welterweight boxing match Saturday in Las Vegas. Boxing great Floyd Mayweather defeated mixed martial arts champion Connor McGregor Saturday in a 10th-round technical knockout in Las Vegas. The highly anticipated and much-publicized fight ended with Mayweather’s 50th win — he has never lost. And, he said, it was his last. “Tonight, was my last fight. Tonight, I chose the right dance partner to dance with,” Mayweather said in the ring, Reuters reported. “Connor, you are a hell of a champion.” McGregor surprised fans with a stronger start in the fight’s early rounds than many had expected, but was noticeably weary by the fight’s end, observers said.

GRANNY’S KITCHEN BACK TO BASICS.... HEADING INTO FALL This cool air blowing in on the remnants of the hurricane has got me thinking about falling leaves and cooler temperatures and of course that means, warm hearty meals and thick gooey desserts. Enjoy!

The Texas National Guard during World War I
World War I touched the life of nearly every Texan, with many contributing significant efforts both domestically and abroad. The Lone Star State made its mark on the battlefield with 198,000 men and 450 women statewide serving during the war between 1917 and 1919, including militiamen from the Texas National Guard. These soldiers endured hardships in training camps and on the battlefield, but did their patriotic duty. Keep reading to learn more about these Especially Texan soldiers. Early Anglo-American immigrants to Texas introduced the concept of a United States militia, building on the extant Spanish and Mexican models. Under the Republic of Texas, the president served as the commander-in-chief of the Texas army, which consisted of one brigade of two regiments with up to 1,120 men, the 386-man “Legion of Cavalry,” and the irregular ranger companies, as well as the militia. The president appointed officers and exercised his authority through his adjutant general, a political appointee. During the Republic, Texas maintained a universal militia. In 1838 the Milam Guards of Houston became the first recorded militia unit to form after Texas independence. After annexation the United States Constitution, the Militia Act of 1792, and state legislation regulated the Texas militia. The idea of state sovereignty and the fear of a large standing army influenced the American concept of the militia. The federal government provided little guidance, and federal support consisted of supplying the states with antiquated weapons. Each state had the authority to appoint officers, conduct training, and determine the size and organization of its militia. The governor acted as the commanderin-chief of the state militia; his authority was exercised through an adjutant general, usually a political appointee. State legislation authorized volunteer companies that became known as the “uniformed militia” because members outfitted themselves, or as the “active militia” because units undertook more frequent training than annual or semiannual parades and musters. In antebellum Texas, this type of organization soon supplanted the universal militia contemplated by the Militia Act of 1792. Under the new structure, the volunteer militia represented 10 to 15 percent of the Texas militia. As during the republic, the militia act of 1846 divided Texas into five militia divisions and ten brigades. The election of Abraham Lincoln, the secession crisis, and the Civil War resulted in redefined militia law and priorities in Texas
between 1860 and Reconstruction. The Dick Militia Act of 1903 reorganized the militia along regular army lines, with companies carrying letter designations instead of regional identities. The militia was made a national guard with federal funding and federal controls. Congress amended the Dick Act in 1908 and 1914, and the law evolved into the comprehensive National Defense Act of 1916, which instituted the Reserve Officer Training Corps and established the National Guard as the nation’s first military reserve. With amendments, this act remains the foundation of the country’s defense policy and organization. While the Dick Act of 1903 federalized the militia, the Terrell Acts of 1903 and 1905 disfranchised most blacks and Hispanics in Texas and allowed the adjutant general to eliminate segregated black militia units and to bar most Hispanics from service by 1906. The aggregate strength of the Texas National Guard averaged around 2,500 members and reached a high of more than 4,900 by 1916, most of whom were white. The Mexican Revolution acted as a catalyst for border troubles in the first quarter of the twentieth century and became the greatest single cause for activations between 1910 and 1917. In early May 1916, Mexican raiders crossed the Rio Grande and attacked Americans in the Big Bend region of Texas. They killed or wounded several American soldiers in the Glenn Spring raid. On May 9, with the United States Army stretched thin due to the punitive expedition into Mexico, the War Department asked for the mobilization of the militia in Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. Texas provided 3,762 troops. The second call in response to these border incidents came on June 18, 1916, and mobilized most of the remaining militia units in the United States. The two mobilizations mustered a total of 158,664 guardsmen into federal service. The second call was the first mobilization under the National Defense Act of 1916, which standardized the title “National Guard” for all organized militia units. When Congress declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917, 40 percent of the national guardsmen called up for border service remained on active duty. On August 5, 1917, all members of the guard were drafted into federal service. By this date more than 379,000 guardsmen reported to training camps in the United States, a total that resulted from extensive recruiting during the summer of 1917. At this time the army reorganized the National Guard units by eliminating their state designations. Texas and Oklahoma guard units assembled at Camp Bowie (Tarrant County) and formed the Thirty-sixth Infantry Division. The Thirty-sixth United States Infantry Division was known as the “Texas Division” due to being composed mostly of Texas National Guard troops. According to some sources, the arrowhead (point down) on the division’s shoulder patch was thought to stand for Oklahoma, while the superimposed capital block-letter “T” was thought to stand for Texas. The “T-Patchers” mobilized at Camp Bowie, Tarrant County, in response to orders of the United States War Department dated July 18, 1917. Some national guardsmen from Oklahoma supplemented the division. After a period of training in Texas, initially under Maj. Gen. Edwin St. John Greble, the division was ordered overseas under the command of Maj. Gen. William R. Smith and arrived in France in stages between May 31 and August 12, 1918. The division completed additional training in September and engaged in the Allied Meuse-Argonne offensive during most of the month of October, fighting in the Aisne valley. The Thirty-sixth advanced thirteen miles against German resistance and suffered 2,601 casualties before being relieved on October 28–29, 1918. The division returned to America between April and June 1919 and was demobilized in June from federal service. The entry of the United States during World War I ended elite domination of the Texas militia because extended service away from hometowns severed elite ties. The mobilization of the Texas National Guard during that war lasted more than two years and further aligned unit membership standards with federal ones. The Great Depression and the New Deal also brought about changes in America’s structure that influenced elite flight from the militia.
