Texas military history collection
Manuscripts
This group of items deals with Texas military history from 1833 to 1917. It includes an account book belonging to John H. Greenwood, the son of Garrison Greenwood, Texas pioneer, Texas Ranger, and the founder of Fort Houston (the Greenwoods moved to Texas from Illinois in 1833). The account book contains financial accounts for the Greenwood family from 1878 to 1888 and a 97-page reminiscence of the Greenwood family in Texas written by John H. Greenwood, which includes details about his father's involvement with the Texas Rangers and the Texas Revolution, Fort Brown, the siege at the Alamo and the Choctaw Indians. Greenwood also talks about Sam Houston, Antonio Santa Anna, and the attack on Fort Parker and abduction of Cynthia Ann Parker and Rachel Plummer by the Comanche. The other items in the group deal with Company K of the 4th Texas Infantry (which is now the U.S. 49th Armored Division) and their involvement in the punitive expedition into Mexico in 1916. These items include newspaper clippings, photographic postcards of the soldiers, a tintype, and poetry written by John H. Regan, a soldier in the 4th Texas. The group also includes one photograph of Company K.
