Brazos Civil War Soldiers
Remembered In Centennial
Brazos County citizens will be
gin to grow beards or dress in
hoop skirts and sunbonnets start
ing April 1. This is to commemo
rate the centennial .of the Hood
Brigade and its Civil War record.
The traditions and valor of the
Hood Brigade are well known in
this area, but few know the Civil
War actions -of Brazos County’s
own fighting force.
Beginning Jan. 25, 1861, the
Texas State Convention submitted
the question of secession to the
individual counties. Feb. 23, Brazos
County voted 215 to 44 in support
of the move.
Pushed by this action, the war
spirit caug'ht on fast. Men of this
area met to form a volunteer com
pany. Although the meeting was
held at Ovenville in Robertson
County, most of the volunteers
were from Brazos County.
Hiram Hanover, a reporter for
the “Houston Telegraph and Texas
Register,” attended the meeting
and later wrote, “We had a meet
ing at Ovenville. The war spirit
is thoroughly aroused . . . One man
59 years old and his 13-year-old
son volunteered. Let Old Abe
smoke that.”
Foi-t Sumpter fell on April 12,
1861, and this group became Com
pany 1 of the 21st Texas Cavalry.
It was commanded by Capt. L. J.
Wilson, 1st Lt. W. H. Bowman,
2nd Lt. James Walker and 3rd Lt.
John Walker.
Company 1 received its first war
assignments while attached to
Carter’s Brigade under Gen. John
B. Magruder in Shreveport.
In the spring of 1862, the brigade
moved to the Arkansas-Missouri
border. Its purpose was to protect
vital supply lines from Onion raids.
Though the group used hit-and-
run tactics, it engaged in. many
duels with superior numbers of
the Union Cavalry. Several men
were wounded, but only one
•Brazos County man was killed.
By the end of the \Var, the fight
ing force was out of supplies and

On Major Issues At Geneva
GENEVA — 6P> — The Soviet
Union and the United States ap
peared last night to have arrived
at an impasse on the major cold
war issues of nuclear testing,
general disarmament and Berlin.
Informants reported that after
11 days of diplomatic talks the
two powers have failed even to
agree on approaches to these three
topics.
The deadlock appeared so com
plete diplomats at the 17-nation
disarmament conference assumed
a climax was nearing. In their
terminology the two nations “are
approaching the crunch” — the
moment when pressures require
one or both to modify positions.
Here is how observers see the
situation:
—NUCLEAR TESTING: Basic
disagreement on inspection runs
so deep that achieving a test ban
treaty appears impossible in the
present mood. The West wants
international teams empowered to
enter the Soviet Union for inspec
tion checks. The Soviet Union in
sist on making its own checks.
The world would have to accept
the results at face value.
—GENERAL DISARMAMENT:
The enforcement problem is even
more complex and the differences
between the two sides just as
great. The West favors gradual
reduction in ai’ms by stages. The
Soviet Union favors abolishment,
without letting outsiders inspect.
—BERLIN: The Soviet Union
has not yielded an inch in demands
that the Western powers get out
of West Berlin and sign separate
peace treaties with East and West
Germany instead of first uniting
the two. The West refuses.
Against this background, the
leaders of the U.S., British and
Canadian delegations arranged to
be present in Geneva next week.
It had been reported earlier that
they had planned returning to
their home capitals over the week
end.
A flurry of activity developed
in the Soviet camp.
Foreign Minister Andrei A.
Gromyko asked Communist East
Germany’s foreign minister, Lo-
that Bolz, to join him in Geneva.
Meanwhile, in a letter to Presi
dent Kennedy, Premier Khrushchev
called for Soviet-American co
operation in space exploration. He
added, however, that this “depends
in some degree on the solution of
the disarmament problem.”
Soviet aims were studied at a
meeting of Secretary of State Dean
Rusk and British Foreign Secre
tary Lord Home.
