and shun outsiders.


In preparing this study the author has spent several years doing research. He knows that many interesting and impor - tant details were overlooked, but he did his best with the informa- tion he had gathered to give as complete a history as possible, The largeness of the original county compelled the author to try eliminate material facts concerning the counties which were later disjoined, and in doing this some material concerning Montgomery County was unintentionally omitted.


For the early phase of the county's history the author used extensively H. E. Bolton's and Carlos E. Castaneda's books concerning the translated documents of the early Spaniards. In these books information was obtained concerning the explorers, missions, and Indians of the county.


The chapter on the early settlement of the county which included the Mexican rule and the empresarios and their colonists, the Spanish archives of the General Land Office and the books by Eugene C. Barker, Louis J. Wortham, H. Yoakum, and Homer S. Thrall proved helpful. In this chapter an effort was made to give to the lay reader who is not familiar with the early methods of settlement and empresario system a general panorama of how the settlement was carried out. The names of the empresarios


205


and their colonists were given. Although the San Jacinto River was used as the dividing line in the county to divide Austin's colony and Vehlein's colony, the reader must realize that the early settlers, in many instances, disregarded boundary lines; therefore; some of Austin's colonists settled in Vehlein's territory and some of Vehlein's colonists settled in Austin's territory.


Montgomery County was the third county created by the Republic of Texas in the First Congress. Its organization was by an act passed by the First Congress of the Republic. The material used by the author for writing this topic was obtained in the Texas State Archives which contained the original petition and bills passed by the First Congress. This congress had convened at Houston.


How the county got its name is still a matter of con- troversy. Although the author made this as one of his main objectives to establish, it is with regrets that a definite conclu- sion could not be reached and only a hypothesis formed. In order to find a definite answer more time was spent on this one particular phase than any other of the entire study.


Gammel's Laws afforded much information on provisions for the division of the other counties from Montgomery. The original petitions of the citizens from the county in the State


206


Archives also provice a greap help for this topic, and while writing about the establishment of the county seat and courthouse, records in the Montgomery Coun ty Courthouse were used exten- sively.


An attempt was made in the chapter on the cities and communities to give a variety of the places which represent the county in municipal life, e. g., oldest town, one of unusual circum- stances, a ghost town, sawmill town, and the ones most leading. The history of each town included the naming, organization, and the most important events that have occurred in them. The com- munities that were included were done so because they so richly contributed to the interest element of the study, besides being a part of the history of the county. Much material for this chapter was obtained from the private collection of Hart Addison of Conroe, Texas, and from interviews with the local citizens of each com- munity by the author.


The next chapter concerned the important events, issues, and people of the county. Although these three cata - gories occur in other chapters of this study, this chapter was written separately to bring out the major importance of certain particular events, issues and people. Montgomery County's participatance in the early conventions, battle of San Jacinto,


207


Woll escapade, Civil War, Reconstruction, and Willis versus Montgomery affair, and a biographical sketch of some of Montgomery County's most illustrious men were included in this chapter. Because of the length of the phases of the Civil War and Reconstruction period these two heading were written into a separate chapter. The Civil War era included slavery, secession, and par- ticipation in the war, while the Reconstruction era included a general panorama of some of the atrocities of that period.


In the chapter concerning institutions and industries, the churches, schools, newspapers, and a line of industries were described in some detail. The early history of the Baptist and Methodist Churches were the only two religious institutions in- cluded for the reason that they were two of the earliest in the county and most of the population today belong to these two denom- inations. The schools included the earliest scholastic institutions of the oldest and youngest towns, which made up the systems of Montgomery and Conroe. The town of Willis at one time had an important school, historically speaking, by the name of Willis Male and Female Academy. This school was not included in this particular chapter because it had been described in the chapter on the cities and communities.


The industries included in the last chapter were the


208


earliest industries, farming, ranching, lumbering, oil and some of the newer ones which have been recently established in the county. The earliest and the oil industry were stressed.


In the way of conclusion the author wishes to say that the purposesof this study have been fulfilled in that a chronological history of the important events of the county have been compiled which may serve as a medium for people of Montgomery County who are interested in their county's history, and the purpose also has been fulfilled in that this history will preserve some of the important facts concerning the county.

APPENDIX


APPENDIX A THE MONTGOMERY BARBECUE


We had the pleasure of attending the splendid barbecue given on the 15th inst., in honor of Gen. Houston, in old Montgomery. We are glad to say it was a pleasant affair, and plassed off most harmoniously, to the gratification, we believe, of every one present. About fifteen hundred people were on the ground.


There was a grand procession, in which everybody was invited to participate -- the ladies being the chief attraction. Pretty soon after the procession reached the place of speal-ing -- a beautiful grove in the suburbs of town -- OLD SAM himself arrived. As he ascended the stand, the cannon thundered, and the Montgomery Brass Band struck up some beautiful national airs, which thrilled through the soul. Col. Wade, the Marshal of the day, then introduced to the audience Mr. Goree, who, in a very eloquent manner, read to the assembly letters from the invited guests -- Gov. Pease, Hamilton and Wilcox. Mr. Porter was then introduced, and read an appropriate portion of Washing- ton's farewell address,


Gen. Houston was then presented to the people by Col, Branch, and entertained them in a speech of an hour and a half -- a synoptical and very inperfect report of which will be found in another place. After the General, Cols. Crawford and McAdoo addressed the people in short and appropriate speeches. Then came dinner -- the ladies and invited guests taking a position inside of the tables, and the gentlemen on the outside. Among the meat and substantials, we noticed a pro . fusion of cake -- one of which was built up in pyramidal forar, with wreaths of green, with a small, beautiful white silk flag standing in the center, with the name of SAM HOUSTON worked in red upon it, and other devices. The flag was presented to Andrew Jackson, Gen. Houston's little son, who held it with great pleasure, and seemed to be very proud of it.


After feasting sumptuously, the people dispersed, very much delighted with the speaking, the dinner, the music, and good order, preserved throughout the entire occasion.


217


In the evening, Mr. Wilbur sent up his balloon. At night "there was a sound of revelry, " and Montgomery "had gathered her beauty and chivalry, " and "bright lamps shown over fair women and brave men, " engaged in the delightful sport of smiling Terpsichore. Gen. Houston and Lady honored the ball with their presence for a short time. Not being able to enter into particulars, we here draw a dash, by thanking most cordially the gallant people of old Montgomery, for their kind attentions shown us and our friends while in their midst. --- Colorado Citizen.
