Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 29. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), chapter 1.40 (search)
1901.1 A great achievement in history of civilized warfare. Participants detail the facts. Paper read by Mrs. Freer at Convention of United Daughters of the Confederacy—Stirring story of Gallantry. The following was read by Mrs. Hal W. Greer, historian of Dick Downing Chapter, before the National Convention of United Daughters of the Confederacy: In this paper I write little else save the bare facts, thinking my time would be limited, but there is much more that could be wps, 15,000, it is supposed this was the time the scheme was to be accomplished. When we remember that only forty-two brave men foiled him, too much honor cannot be paid to their memory, and we, the United Daughters of the Confederacy of Beaumont, have named our chapter for their leader, Lieutenant Dowling. There are only two survivors of this wonderful battle, but many citizens who remember all the incidents perfectly. Mrs. Hal W. Greer, Historian of Dick Dowling Chapter, Beaumont, Texas
