2 Governor Samuel W. T. Lanham, Camp 586 COMMANDER S CORNER Commander s Corner September, 2014 By Larry Martin Commander Governor Samuel W.T. Lanham Camp 586 Another long hot month has passed and here we are in the middle of September and WOW we got some much needed cooler weather for the weekend! Our camp continues to grow and we have been participating in Marker dedications with other camps and brigades, plus I have begun surveying cemeteries again. So I know our camp is fulfilling The Charge This coming Saturday our camp will set up at the Springtown Wild West Day and that event is always a fun one for us to attend. At our last meeting, I reported to the camp that some of our members were leaving to form a new camp in Willow Park. 3 rd Brigade Commander Calvin Allen, 2 nd LT Commander David Wilson, 3 rd LT. Commander Larry Johnson and several others want to build a more Confederate and more un-reconstructed style of camp. I know we will all wish them well in building a new camp and we also want them to know they will have our support and will invite them to participate in local activities such as the Christmas Parade our camp presents. The upcoming Division Executive Council on September 27 will be hard on the entire Division. There have been many rumors, many discussions among members across the state, so many bits and pieces of fact and supposition it is hard to track them all. The Division Commanders and Brigade Commanders need to look at this whole issue with a fresh perspective, and work to bring the whole Division back to a close brotherhood we are supposed to be honoring with The Charge and stop the internecine warfare that is currently being waged. I deeply suspect the upcoming meeting in Lorena will be one we, as members of the SCV, will end up ashamed. Things will be said in the heat of anger and frankly Gentleman, you can never un-ring a bell once it has been rung. I know, we all, wish they could settle this like Gentleman, shake hands and join forces in growing our Division, charter more camps and show the entire nation that leads the way! Our fall events will show the Brigade that the Samuel W T Lanham camp is truly leading the way. We as a whole, embrace The Charge, and that we do show our community that we are Southern Gentleman and our whole purpose is to educate the public and honor our ancestors. (Continued on next page)

3 They are the ones who left all they knew, left families behind to go defend the State they loved and the Southern way of life. They are the ones who endured the long marches, disease, short rations, the boredom, the unimaginable horrors of combat, the stench, and all that goes with war. War is nothing but Armed Robbery on a grand scale. The North wanted the money, when the money spigot was turned off, the bankers and financiers jumped into the issue and got their Congress critters wound up. And lo and behold, they attacked and that is as simple an answer as anyone can come up with on causes of the war. The common solider only knew one thing, His State called and He answered that call. And now, our mission is just as simple, we HONOR His service and sacrifice. Again it is just that simple. So when outside SCV politics, when rumors swirl, when agitators try to stir things up, simply remember your ancestor. Remember His sacrifice and focus on how you honor him and The Charge. Sincerely, Larry Martin Commander Gov. W.T. Lanham Camp #586 Weatherford, TX Special Thanks to Richard Montgomery for the use of this.

4 The Editor s Soapbox You may notice a few changes to the newsletter. I m never 100% satisfied with the end product and often not happy at all but finally give up and send it out. I ve spent quite a bit of time the past week reading other Camp s newsletters trying to get some ideas how to improve ours. I ve added some links to SCV sites, I m changing up the format of photos some too. Less and larger per page. Seeing how we don t print this gives me more freedom. The cost of ink is high not to mention the paper and time it takes to print. Some editors do theirs in what I call newspaper format, in columns. I do what I call book or magazine format. I find it somewhat irritating scrolling up and down the page reading an article. That s why I do mine like a book or magazine, where you read across the page instead of up and down, in case anyone has noticed or wondered. I don t know if I mentioned this a couple months back or not but new (transfer) member Don Brannon has graciously agreed to do a monthly article on different medals. Don is an avid medal collector and knowledgeable as well. This will be a welcome addition and asset to our newsletter I m sure. Thanks Don! Humbly Yours, Jerry Puckett Editor, Cook, and Chief Bottle Washer W.T. Lanham Camp #586 Weatherford, TX The Adjutant s Call As we start the Fall activities, we have the Springtown Wild West Days (Sat Sept 20), Weatherford Heritage Stampede (Sat Oct 11), Veterans Day Parade (Sat Nov 8), and the Weatherford Christmas Parade (Sat Dec 6). All of these are fun events and any amount of time you are able to spend will be worthwhile. These are family oriented to show the public what we are about, genealogy, history, and honoring ancestors. Being a salesman is not important, just say hello and answer questions. Selling is not our primary goal, while we have a few things for sell, it is not a our major goal. Our goal is to provide information. Our goal is to present ourselves as American citizens that are proud of our ancestors. We are encouraged to participate in the Veterans Day Parade, our ancestors are veterans, as are many in our camp. The Veterans Day Parade is for all veterans, past, present and future. They all will be saluted!

10 The Collector s Corner By Don Brannon This year we mark the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. Though not related to the War of Northern Aggression, the descendants of many Civil War veteran served in this conflict. These men and women served 100 years after their grandfathers, in a war also involving an aggressor from the north. Though both wars involved a "North and a South", they were decisively different. I felt it was only fitting to include a spotlight on these heroes in my article. Growing up during the latter half of the Vietnam war, I was privileged to be related to or a friend of many Vietnam Veterans. Because of this, I was able to obtain various collectibles from this conflict. Collecting Vietnam War artifacts is not new, it started becoming popular in the 1980's. Now days, collecting Vietnam can be pretty tricky and expensive. The People's Republic of Vietnam is now exporting new made unit patches, beer can crests, airborne wings, and badges made by the same people on the same machines they used in the 1960's and 1970's. Knowing what you are looking for is the key to success in this field. I have found three books concerning this field of collecting, "Collecting Vietnam", "The Decorations and Medals of the Republic of Vietnam", and "Orders, Decorations and Badges of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam". Though all are good reference books, I believe the latter two are the best. At this time, I am unaware of any books regarding the collecting of Vietnamese made unit patches. I would like to express my thanks and gratitude to these Veterans, and to the 58,000 whose names are on that granite wall. "WELCOME HOME!" Continued on next page

13 Governor Samuel W.T. Lanham A Brief History of our Camp s Namesake Samuel Willis Tucker Lanham was born July 4, 1846 in South Carolina in the Spartanburg District. He was the oldest of 8 children. When the War started he enlisted at the age of 15. He served as a private in Co. K, Third South Carolina Regiment, Joseph B. Kershaw s Brigade. They served mainly with the Army of Northern Virginia. He also fought in Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina. He was wounded at the battle of Spotsylvania in May Towards the end of the War he was promoted to 2nd Sergeant. After the War he married Sara Beona Meng of Union County, South Carolina. They left for in October 1866 along with 19 other people. They settled in Red River County that December where he took a job as a school teacher in Clarksville and then later in Old Boston in Bowie County. In 1868 he moved his family to Weatherford, TX where he taught school in a one room log cabin while living in an adjoining room. While teaching he studied law and was admitted to the bar in Weatherford in Gov. Edmund J. Davis appointed him District Attorney for the 13th District in 1871 and served through In July 1871 he prosecuted Kiowa Chiefs Satanta and Big Tree for their roles in the Warren Wagon train Raid. He was elected to the U.S. House in 1882 where he served to March A Democrat, he represented 11th District which consisted of 98 Counties! He ran for Governor the first time in He lost the nomination to Charles A. Culberson. In 1896 he was once again elected to Congress where he served the 8th District until In 1902 he won the nomination unopposed and defeated Republican George. W. Burkett. His campaign was supported by Edward M. House, who dominated politics for over a decade. House eventually became the confidential advisor of President Woodrow Wilson, so apparently he had some clout. In 1904 Lanham defeated J.G. Lowden. Lanham was the last Confederate Veteran to serve as Governor of. After serving out his second term he retired to his home in Weatherford in 1907 in failing health. During his tenure as Governor several laws and regulations were passed. The number of hours railroad employees could work and child labor laws were regulated. In 1904 voters approved a constitutional amendment to revoke a State banking system and over 500 banks were created over the next five years. Election reform also took place during his term. Near the end of his second term a huge political scandal occurred. This dealt with Standard Oil Co. and started before his first term. Even though Lanham and his administration were not involved it still caused huge headaches. He often rued that he wished he had stayed in Congress. Apparently he did not enjoy his time as Governor. He said office seekers, pardon seekers, and concession seekers overwhelmed me. They broke my health. He died July 29, 1908, just 27 days after the death of his wife Sara. He is buried in Weatherford, TX.

14 Confederates of Color (Most Confederate Soldiers were rich white slave owners. Right?) This is the first of what I hope to be an ongoing series about some of the unsung heroes of the Confederacy. The PC crowd would like for us to believe that most Confederate Soldiers were white slave owners. Hopefully I will be able to shed some light on that subject. I hope you enjoy and learn something. Santos Benavides Santos Benavides was the highest ranking Hispanic in the Confederate Army with the rank of Colonel. He was born November 1, 1823 in Laredo, which was established by his ancestor Tomas Sanchez de la Barrera y Garza. He died November 9, He was a successful businessman as a merchant and rancher. Benavides was also elected mayor of Laredo in 1856 and became Chief Justice in Webb County three years later. It should be noted that he opposed the annexation of the Laredo area into the United States. He feared the national character of northern Mexico would be lost. When seceded from the United States he and his brothers supported the Confederacy. They felt the Confederacy best supported the idea of States Rights which went along with their strong views concerning having a strong regionalism. In his early years he campaigned against banditos and raiding parties of Native Americans protecting the area citizens. He was also known as somewhat a vigilante and often disregarded the Rio Grande river as a border, taking his battles into Mexico. It should be noted that at the time this was not an uncommon practice for either country before the War. He was the highest ranking Hispanic in the Confederate Army, reaching the rank of Colonel. He was promised a Brigadier Generalship but was denied several times, and from what I ve read it seemed that the infamous Rip Ford had something to do with this. Supposedly after the war they never or rarely spoke even thought Benavides served under Ford. Ironically he remained good friends with a former friend and adversary, Colonel Edmund J. Davis. Davis had offered Benavides a Union Generalship which he declined. After he refused that offer the Confederacy made him the same offer which he accepted. He was the only Confederate officer to fight against the Union, Mexico, and Native Americans! (Continued on next page)

15 Here is a list of some of his accomplishments: Spring 1861: Promoted to Captain in the 33rd Cavalry also known as the Benavides Regiment. They were assigned to the Rio Grande Valley District where they won respect as great fighters. May 22, 1861: Battle of Carrizo. Benavides drove Juan Cortina into Mexico with the help of a small force of Laredoeans with the help of his Uncle, Basillio Benavides. June 1861: General Guadalupe Garcia of Mexico at the request of Rip Ford granted Benavides permission to cross the Rio Grande when necessary in pursuit of Cortina and Ochoa. This put Mexico in a spot because they did not want war with either the Union seeing this might allow him to attack their forces there. August 1863: Octaviano Zapata and his band of Zapatistas who had been a thorn in the side of both sides. Benavides and his men chased the men back across the border and soundly defeated them. November 1863: Benavides was promoted to Colonel and authorized to raise his own regiment of Partisan Rangers. The Confederacy realized by now how important he was to the security of the Southwest. November 5, 1863: Union occupation of Brownsville, TX. Despite the occupation he arranged for cotton to pass safely along the Rio Grande to the neutral port at Matamoros, Mexico, keeping the cotton trade open. February 1864: Despite record cold weather he managed to keep Ford s Rio Grande expedition supplied. March 19, 1864: One of his more famous accomplishments perhaps. He and 42 troops were victorious against 200 Union soldiers in defending Laredo. Not only that but he saved 5000 bales of Confederate cotton from being stolen. His orders before the battle was if he failed to burn every bale of cotton to prevent the Yankees from taking it. Ironically the Union troops were commanded by none other than Edmund J. Davis, the same man who had once offered Benavides the rank of Colonel in the Union Army. Even more ironically they remained friends after the War. Fall 1864: Confederate General James Slaughter divided the Rio Grande frontier into two districts, Ford in charge of the Rio Grande Valley and Benavides in charge of Rio Grande City to Eagle Pass. He did this due to the ongoing dispute between Ford and Benavides. May 1865: Benavides and his men were involved in the last battle of the War, the Battle of Palmito Ranch. After the War he returned to his business and ranching. He also returned to politics and was elected three times to the Legislature. He always preferred local and regional independence rather than a larger and more distant government. Due to his political contributions he was sent to the 1884 World Cotton Exposition as the representative from. He died in his Laredo home November 9, So, there you have a quick glimpse of one of many Confederates who did not own slaves but realized that State s Rights should outrank a larger Federal Government and was willing to put his life on the line to protect that.

In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late. Accordingly, I m readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I ll, in turn, do my best for the Cause by writing editorials after the fact. Robert E. Lee, 1863
