items.
Return to the Table of Contents
The R. H. Porter Civil War Collection consists of ephemera, photographs
(mostly reproductions), manuscripts, government documents, rare books
(originals and photocopies), and pamphlets. While books formed the
largest portion of the collection, the collection also includes ephemera, photographs (mostly reproductions),
manuscripts, government documents, photocopies of rare books, and pamphlets.
The collection provides information about the Civil War, mostly from a
Texas Confederate perspective, but also includes information about the
Confederate government, the government of the State of Texas, and a small
amount of information about Union troops and activities. The collection is
divided into five series: Robert E. Lee,
Jefferson Davis, Confederate
States of America (CSA), State of Texas and
General.
The Robert E.
Lee series contains four items, one of which is a signed letter by Lee
to James A. Seddon, Secretary of War for the CSA. There is also a Confederate
States of America army circular, 1863 (dictated by Lee, but not signed by him),
a photographic duplication of the "Lees of
Virginia", 1861-1865, and a 1902 letter sent by George Washington Custis
Lee (Lee's son) to Ashton L. Carr which includes Robert E. Lee's signature and
a small photograph of him.
The Jefferson Davis
series contains eight items and includes correspondence, cancelled bank checks
(1871-1874), an address written to celebrate the 99th anniversary of Davis'
birth (1907), and a booklet titled The Religious Life of
Jefferson Davis by W. L. Fleming (1910). Three of the letters are
written to Reverend J.W. Jones (1976, 1881, 1885), one to Colonel E. Polk
Johnson (1887), and one is written in his wife's hand but signed by him
(1881).
The Confederate States of America
series includes Confederate government documents, broadsides, periodicals,
photographs, muster rolls, rosters, and ephemera. All materials were created by
the Confederate government or support the message of the Confederacy in some
manner. The government documents include army orders, messages of the
president, and correspondence. Several items provide biographies of soldiers
and officers, and tell of their service to the Confederacy. Of note in this
series are two Confederate States Almanacs for 1864 (different editions) and a
list of federal prisoners held at Camp Croce (1863). Ephemera in this series
include sheet music, a playing card with the Confederate Flag and insignia
design, and receipts.
The State of Texas
series includes materials that were created by the Texas government or are
about incidents that took place in Texas during the Civil War. Of note in this
series are two copies of "A Declaration of the Causes which Impel the State of
Texas to Secede from the Federal Union" (1861), Governor Sam Houston's Message
on the South Carolina Resolutions (1860), a copy of the Constitution of the
State of Texas as Amended in 1861, a Camp Ford diary as kept by a Union
prisoner (1892-1894) and a list of 69 Germans who organized a company to
participate in the Civil War. Also included are documents created by different
departments of the State of Texas. Army prisons and prison camps in Texas are
the topic of several items, as are battles that took place in the state. There
are also several photographic reproductions in this series, creative works, and
information about soldiers and officers in Texas.
The General series contains materials generally related to the
Civil War and materials that were included with the collection but are not
obviously of or about the Civil War or the Confederacy. Items include
articles, periodicals, correspondence, religious pamphlets, and price guides
for Confederate currency.

There is some correspondence with particular items scattered throughout
the collection from Lee Lawrence, a fellow Civil War and Texas history
enthusiast and collector. It seems that the two men would share information
about Confederate Texana resources and locating relevant materials.
