3 Col. Charles DeMorse s 29 th TEXAS CAVALRY SCV Camp # 2269 The Last CSA Battle Texas Commander Bobby W. Smith Fellow Compatriot s, I have copies of the old Confederate Veteran Magazine, which has been very interesting reading. Well like it has been said Get your news strait from the horses mouth many Veterans had lots of things to ponder on back in the day. Many told their versions of the war, and news of the day, and about the loses of fallen Veterans. You get a real prospective of the times in which they were living. Their stories and recollection are very interesting, and are not told by people who had no idea of what these men lived and saw with their own eyes and experience. Like our grand-paws use to do but we were to busy or to young to understand. Oh how I ve wished, to talk to them now. As I have many times visited their graves, wished for an interesting conversation, and reaching back into the articles of days gone by, the Confederate Veteran has answered my wishes. Thank You, God Bless Our Veterans Deo Vindice UÉuuç ja få à{ Confederate Veteran Magazine Nashville, Tennessee Vol. V. No. 2 FEBRUARY 1897 Pg.70 Judge J. R. Daugherty of Forney, Texas, writes concerning that last battle of the war fought in Texas, May 12, 1865: The last battle of the great war was fought at Brazos Santiago or Palmetto Rancho on the Rio Grande in Texas. Col. J. S. Ford was in Command of the forces of the Rio Grande; I was O. S. of Captain White's Company, and we were on picket at Palmetto Rancho on the 12th day of May, We knew the war was over and were not expecting an attack, but to our surprise we were attacked and our camp equipage captured. We made our way to headquarters, but were ordered back without anything to eat. Early next morning the report was that the enemy was coming. We took the position that R. E. Lee took to fight the battle of Palo Alto, May 8, 1846, in the Mexican War. Only thirty of us held two regiments in check until 11 o'clock, at which time the main force was ordered out to meet the enemy. Col. Ford deployed his small force on either side of the road leading from Brazos Santiago to Brownsville, with two pieces of Page 3

4 of small artillery commanding the road, and when the enemy had approached as near as it was comfortable to see them, the Confederates opened fire and the cavalry was ordered to charge. The enemy beat a hasty retreat. Some were captured, some killed and several jumped into the Rio Grande River and were drowned. The Character of Lee by John Williams Jones He possessed every virtue of the great commanders, without their vices. He was a foe without hate; a friend without treachery; a private citizen without wrong; a neighbor without reproach; a Christian without hypocrisy, and a man without guilt. He was a Caesar without his ambition; a Frederick without his tyranny; a Napoleon without his selfishness; and a Washington without his reward. He was obedient to authority as a servant, and loyal in authority as a true king. He was gentle as a woman in life; modest and pure as a virgin in thought; watchful as a Roman vestal in duty; submissive to law as Socrates, and grand in battle as Achilles. He Lost a War and Won Immortality by Louis Redmond Even among the free, it is not always easy to live together. There came a time, less than a hundred years ago, when the people of this country disagreed so bitterly among themselves that some of them felt they could not go on living with the rest. A test of arms was made to decide whether Americans should remain one nation or become two. The armies of those who believed in two nations were led by a man named Robert E. Lee. What about Lee? What kind of man was he who nearly split the history of the United States down the middle and made two separate books of it? They say you had to see him to believe that a man so fine could exist. He was handsome. He was clever. He was brave. He was gentle. He was generous and charming, noble and modest, admired and beloved. He had never failed at anything in his upright soldier's life. He was a born winner, this Robert E. Lee. Except for once. In the greatest contest of his life, in the war between the South and the North, Robert E. Lee lost. Now there were men who came with smoldering eyes to Lee and said: "Let's not accept this result as final. Let's keep our anger alive. Let's be grim and unconvinced, and wear our bitterness like a medal. You can be our leader in this." But Lee shook his head at those men. "Abandon your animosities," he said, "and make your sons Americans." And what did he do himself when his war was lost? He took a job as president of a tiny college, with forty students and four professors, at a salary of $1500 a year. He had commanded thousands of young men in battle. Page 4

5 Now he wanted to prepare a few hundred of them for the duties of peace. So the countrymen of Robert E. Lee saw how a born winner loses, and it seemed to them that in defeat he won his most lasting victory. There is an art of losing, and Robert E. Lee is its finest teacher. In a democracy, where opposing viewpoints regularly meet for a test of ballots, it is good for all of us to know how to lose occasionally, how to yield peacefully, for the sake of freedom. Lee is our master in this. The man who fought against the Union showed us what unity means. General Robert Edward Lee Farewell to the Army of Northern Virginia by Robert E. Lee After four years of arduous service, marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources. I need not tell the survivors of so many hard-fought battles who have remained steadfast to the last that I have consented to this result from no distrust of them; but feeling that valor and devotion could accomplish nothing that could compensate for the loss that would have attended the continuance of the contest, I determined to avoid the useless sacrifice of those whose past services have endeared them to their countrymen. By the terms of the agreement, officers and men can return to their homes and remain until exchanged. You may take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from the consciousness of duty faithfully performed, and I earnestly pray that a merciful God will extend to you his blessing and protection. With an unceasing admiration of your constancy and devotion to your country, and a grateful remembrance of your kind and generous consideration of myself, I bid you all an affectionate farewell.
