He was a Texas pioneer of which we are proud. He was a Texas Ranger, and participated in both the Mexican War and the Civil War. He was never known to curse, drink or use tobacco. (White and Toole, p 57). Virgie Speights writes he fought in three wars, Civil, Indian and Mexican--and did nto receive a scratch. His relatives were not so fortunate, however. His father was killed in the Civil War; two brothers died in service, one lost an arm and another a leg. (Speights, p. 36). She also indicates he was the oldest of 13 children.
