Excerpt from Rebel Private, Front and Rear: Experiences and Observations From the Early Fifties and Through the Civil War
Father thought a densely settled negro district would be a poor place to have a family during the war, which he said was sure to come; so he sold out and moved to Texas, and settled at Wiess Bluff, J asper County, J une, 1856. At lviess Bluff, father found in old man Simon Wiess a well read and intelligent man, and one who reasoned the future as he did; but his moving ideas were somewhat different, as I have heard him remark to father that if he could sell out at not too great a loss he would move to the Republic of Mexico in order to keep his boys out of war. While at Wiess Bluff, about the only mention of war I would hear was by father and Wiess.

Excerpt from Rebel Private, Front and Rear: Experiences and Observations From the Early Fifties and Through the Civil War
This effort is made through memory, as I have no written data, therefore, will not attempt to give names or dates, only in a few instances.
I was born in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, in 1839. When I was about fourteen years of age I began to notice through listening to the talking of the older people, the trend of feeling in regard to slavery, between the North and South, and as my father was a close reader and kept fairly well posted oil the live topics of the day, and as he had been a slave driver or overseer in Texas at an early date, later on in Louisiana, he was up on the goods and abuses of the system as practised, for he had the advantage while in Texas of having charge of fifteen "likely bucks," as he called them, who were just from their nativity, and who he ran to Louisiana from the Brazos River when General Santa Anna was invading Texas; and his opinion was that the abuses by inhuman owners were such that an enlightened and humane people would sooner or later abolish it by some method; and he was fearful it would be war. as both North and South seemed to be swayed by the demagogy, and it was evident the statesmen were largely in the minority, so if things did not take a different course soon, the blood of the bone and sinew of the government would soon he flowing on a number of hard fought battle fields.
Father's opinion was an unpopular one and as time passed, it got more so and he would randy express it to but few of his closest friends, who give one the same privilege of expression that they take on subjects of great concern. The hot-headed politician and preacher seemed to be molding public opinion without any regard for the country as a whole.
