Excerpt from Terry's Texas Rangers

It is but natural that man should desire to leave some record of his achievements for the information of succeeding generations. This de sire was manifested in the infancy of the race, and is shown in monuments and chiseled stone, and in writings on skins and reeds.

Excerpt from Terry's Texas Rangers

It is but natural that man should desire to leave some record of his achievements for the information of succeeding generations. This desire was manifested in the infancy of the race, and is shown in monuments and chiseled stone, and in writings on skins and reeds.

Here in the South, when the great war of the '60s had terminated and the various actors in the great drama had time to look about them, the desire was universal that the record made by Southern manhood should be perpetuated. The regiment of Texas cavalry known as the "Terry Rangers" shared that feeling; and when the survivors began to meet in annual reunion this desire became manifest. Two propositions appealed to them : one for a history which should tell of their campaigns, their marches, battles, hardships, sufferings ; one for a monument which should contain the name of every man who served in the regiment. For reasons which I need not discuss here the plan for the history failed. All funds raised for either purpose were combined into one and placed in control of the monument committee.
