<p>SOUTHERN ILLUSTRATED NEWS, January 24, 1863, p. 8, c. 1-2<br/> {The following letter was received several days ago, and we cheerfully give place to it.—Eds.]<br/><br/> "Camp near Fredericksburg, Va., }<br/> January 6th, 1863. }<br/>"To the Editors of the Southern Illustrated News:<br/> "Gentlemen—It has been our wish that, on no account, would we bring the deeds of our "Texas Brigade" to the notice of the public through the metropolitan journals, preferring to await the reports of the Commanding General, feeling assured that, when those papers were published, we would receive our meed of praise. Yet we felt it due to ourselves that the article in your journal of the 10th January, headed "The Charge of the 24th North Carolina Regiment at Sharpsburg," should receive such an answer as would disabuse the minds of your readers of the idea that the 'Texans, unbeaten before in this war, were driven back in confusion;' for this assertion, if allowed to go uncontradicted, might hurt that historic name that was given to the soldiers of the 'Lone Star State' at the Alamo and San Jacinto, as well as cause the blush to mantle the cheeks of our fair 'prairie flowers' at home. The facts are these: Our (Hood's) division, composed then of the Texas and Whiting's old brigade, advanced, and broke through the 1st and 2d lines of the enemy, and took possession of the woods. Holding this ground until we had exhausted our ammunition, (forty rounds to the man,) our support not coming up at this juncture, and the enemy moving so as to flank us, (in great numbers,) we were ordered to fall back. Furthermore, the woods that we left were not regained during the battle.<br/> "Trusting that your impartial and successful paper will allow this contradiction to appear, I remain,<br/> Yours respectfully,<br/> "Texas Volunteer."</p> Staked Plainstag:www.genealogywise.com,2011-03-28:3463583:Topic:3347702011-03-28T17:47:18.892ZRussell Jordanhttp://www.genealogywise.com/profile/RussellJordan
<p>I'm looking at 1895 maps of both Texas and New Mexico, at an area called "Llano Estacado" or "Staked Plains," directly east of Roswell, NM. I have read that this is a high plateau. Would it have been too arduous a journey to cross the "Staked Plains" at this point from, say, Gaines or Andrews Counties in Texas in 1891? Wouldn't the better route have been to head south and then up the Pecos River? I'm particularly wondering if this Staked Plains area was even used as a migration route. …</p>

<p><br/><b>Forgotten Gateway: Coming to America through Galveston Island</b><br/>Discovery Pyramid @ Moody Gardens through September 11, 2010<br/>Open Daily 12 p.m. - 6 p.m. (Last entry 5 p.m.)<br/><br/>The traveling exhibit <i>Forgotten Gateway</i> chronicles the Port of Galveston’s largely forgotten history as a major gateway to American immigration from <u>1845 to 1924</u>. Forgotten Gateway builds on a growing scholarly and public interest in the history of migration patterns to America and Galveston’s place as one of the nation’s top immigrant ports in that history.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This exhibit is the first of its kind to explore Galveston’s legacy as a port of entry on a national scale. It will bring to light the little-known yet rich era of Galveston’s history and just how important it was to the growth of Texas and the American Midwest.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Long before Ellis Island processed its first immigrant, Galveston was a port of entry for hundreds of thousands of immigrants. While the New York counterpart made it a natural port for Europeans, Galveston attracted a diverse group of people from Europe, Mexico, South and Central America and even Asia. In addition, before the Civil War, it was a major port for forced migration – the sale and transport of slaves from Africa and other points in the United States to Texas.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The exhibit highlights enduring humanities themes in the history of immigration including: the dangers of the journey; making a life in a new land; navigating bureaucracy; confronting discrimination; and becoming “American.” These trials and tribulations are illuminated through personal stories, dynamic visitor interactive kiosks, engaging media pieces, and more than 200 original artifacts and documents. The exhibit originated from a comment a 10th-grader made on a heritage trip to Ellis Island. “Why do we need to go to New York,” asked the student. “My grandparents came through Galveston.” </p>
