All the South has ever desired was that the Union, as established by our forefathers, should
be preserved and that the government, as originally organized, should be administered in
purity and truth.

On 24 February,
2015, members
of Camp 1710 and the Borderland Veterans Camp 2201 gave
a living history presentation at
Liberty School in Douglas.
The presentation consisted of
several stations exploring the
role of the infantry, cavalry,
artillery and medical service
during the War for Southern
Independence. Also given was
a demonstration of the “home

also learned how school was
conducted during the 1860s.
Another demonstration showed
the students the various flags
used during the War.
To indicate it was time
for each group of students to
rotate to the next station, Camp
1710 Color Sergeant Donnis
Davis fired a blank round from
his 12 pounder mountain howitzer. The children were very
impressed with the noise and
the huge cloud of smoke.
The event involved
classes from the Kindergarten

Compatriots,
As Spring approaches,
we are looking forward to another successful season for our
Camp, the Arizona Division
and the SCV. As noted elsewhere in the newsletter, we
welcomed two new members
and we have two applications
pending.
Our book donation to
All Saints School was well
received. We have already
conducted two living history
presentations this year and will
give another in March. The
“Civil War in the Southwest”
event is scheduled and we will
participate both as reenactors
and with our sister Camps in
recruiting and providing information about the SCV. Camp
members took part in the Fiesta de los Vaqueros Rodeo
parade in Tucson and we will
hold memorial ceremonies for
Confederate Memorial Day
and at Dragoon Springs. A
celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Camp’s charter
is scheduled and we are assured of a large attendance..
The Texas John Slaughter
Camp 2074 will host the 21st
Arizona Division Reunion on
9 May and we will be in attendance. We will present our
colors at the Federal Memorial
Day ceremony at the Southern
Arizona Veterans Memorial
Cemetery on 25 May.

time of repentance, to give
something up (fasting or abstinences) and give ourselves
to others.
This Lenten season
let us give to praying each
day and to reach out to those
in need. In your prayer each
day you might want to consider praying that we treat
each other with love and respect, World Peace, for our
Country, Sons of Confederate Veterans, GHQ staff and
Officers, for the Army of
the Trans-Mississippi, for
the Arizona Division and
each camp, our members and
members and their families
in need, and our men and
women in the military.
These are a few thoughts for
prayer and I know that you
can add many more and
please do so.
Heavenly Father, during this holy time for so
many, we pause to remember
that your light can never be
extinguished. Help us to believe in this truth so that we
might live lives that display
your eternal illumination.

LENTEN SEASON
“Is not this the kind
of fasting I have chosen: to
loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the
yoke, to set the oppressed
free and break every yoke?
Is it not to share your food
with hungry and to provide
the poor wanderer with shelter--when you see the naked,
to clothe him, and not to turn
away from your own flesh
and blood? Then your light
will break forth like the
dawn, and your healing will
quickly appear; then your
righteousness will go before
you, and the glory of the lord
will be your rear guard.
Then you will call, and the
Lord will answer; you will
cry for help, and he will say:
Hear am I. .

The thanks of the "Jeff.
Davis Life-Guards," are extended to
the officers and members of the "San
Antonio Southern Aid Society," for
camp furniture and provisions to the
handsome sum of $377.31. The
above named society have done a
noble work, having contributed more
or less towards the fitting out of
nearly every company in and around
this county, besides supporting the
families of a number of poor men
who are now in the service of their
country. Our citizens generally have
subscribed liberally towards sustaining the funds expended by the officers of the society.

A Brave Texas Patriot!
September 20, 1862
Polk Childress, a son of Sol.
Childress of this city, is a fine specimen of young American Texas Chivalry. He is a member of Forrest's
Brigade. Speaking in a letter to his
father of the battle of Murfreesboro
he says "My outfit has not cost me
much. I have a Yankee horse, valued at 175 dollars, got by me at Murfreesboro, a Yankee six shooter, got
in Lincoln county, Tenn., where I
captured a Yankee and secured his
six shooter, Yankee shoes, Yankee
hat and breeches." Polk is a mere
lad in years and size, but in bravery a
full grown man.
Headquarters, 1st Brigade,
1st Division
Army of the Southwest
Camp Hope, Arkansas
September 27, 1862
There are two brigades
here, about 25 miles from Little
Rock, on the Searcy road. The Arkansas brigade consists of six regiments, and is commanded by Col. D.
McRea. The Texas brigade consists
of five regiments as follows, Col.
Nelson's, Col. Sweet's, Col. Fitzhugh's, Col. Darnell's, and Col. Taylor's. All of these last named have
been dismounted, except Col. Nelson's, which was Infantry at the start.
The well men are being
drilled in Infantry, at the rate of six
hours a day, and the convalescents as
they can stand it. We have the promise of new arms in the place of our
shot guns and old squirrel rifles--a
change much to be desired in the
Infantry service.
I learn that a portion of
these arms are now en route from
Monroe, La. to Little Rock. Some
are said to be Enfield rifles, the oth-
ers Minnie and Belgian muskets. . .
Our friends at home must
do all in their power to manufacture
clothing; we shall be needy on that
score when cold weather sets in,
many of our men have not now the
second shirt to their back, their pants
are worn out, and they are barefooted. There is nothing in this State
to supply their wants with, they are
looking to their friends at home to
meet the emergency, and unless
prompt steps are taken by the citizens in each county from which the
men have so promptly volunteered,
there will be a great deal of suffering
--let county depots be established
and as soon as the clothing can be
deposited, let wagons be started with
it for the various regiments. The
Government does not ask these efforts to be made gratuitously--it is
able and willing to pay promptly for
all the goods thus furnished, but the
difficulty is to get them in time to
save the army from suffering, unless
many and willing hands contribute
their industry. Let the ladies organize societies and attend to the task in
person, then it is sure to be accomplished.
Very respectfully
Henry C. Logan, Adjutant

renegade officers left Matamoras
with about 120 renegades and deserters, to embark on a Yankee steamer
at the mouth, which was there to take
them to New Orleans. A party of
Confederates went down at the same
time on this side of the river, to
watch their operations. On Friday
and Saturday the sea was so rough
that they could not go out to their
steamer. On Sunday morning at daybreak the Confederate boys crossed
over to the Mexican side and took

Each year hundreds of spectators descend on Picacho Peak State Park to watch reenactments of an Arizona Civil War skirmish and the New Mexico battles of Glorieta and
Val Verde.
Experience battle re-enactments during the 2015 Annual Civil War the Southwest event.
Visitors travel from around the country to experience three fascinating historic battle reenactments complete with lifestyles of the soldiers in the southwest during the 1860s. More
than 200 re-enactors come from many states and will camp at the park with their authentic Civil War camping gear. Food and beverage concessions are also available.
Civil War battles across America were well documented and history teachers carefully
covered each battle across the East Coast, but few ever thought what was happening in
the West during this time. A battle of the American Civil War was a skirmish fought near
a rocky spire called Picacho Peak located between Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona. The new
highway follows the old wagon route that passed Picacho in 1862.
In 1860 the New Mexico Territory, which consisted of the lands that would become the
states of Arizona and New Mexico, was sparsely populated. It ranked 34th in population
out of 43 states and territories with only 83,009 inhabitants. It was 37th in black populations, with just 8 whom were all free. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, the U.S.
Government recalled the majority of its troops from the West to build the Union army for
the fighting in the east. Henry Hopkins Sibley joined the Confederacy and convinced Jefferson Davis that he would raise an army in Texas and invade New Mexico territories. He
proposed that mineral resources would fill the coffers of the Confederacy and fund their
massive war effort.
