A LETTER TO THE FRIENDS

Dear Friends:

Our sincere thanks to everyone
who participated in the recent Author
Reception. We had a highly successful
and interesting program, honoring
nearly 50 Rice authors.

Because of the popularity of this
event, which is drawing capacity audi-
ences, next year's reception will be
moved to the larger Grand Hall where
authors will have tables at which to sign
their books.

Thanks also to everyone associated
with the annual Schubertiad recital, co-
sponsored with the Shepherd School of
Music. Presented in the music school's
new Lillian H. Duncan Recital Hall, it
was an event to remember.

The prospects are very good for our
annual fund-raising event, Fondren
Saturday Night XII. We are receiving
some wonderful donations for our auc-
tion, such as weekend accommodations
at a beachhouse and at a condominium
in a scenic Colorado area. Jewelry,
home accessories, books, dinners and
lectures are among the items which
will be auctioned Saturday, April 4 to
raise money for the Friends of Fondren
Library Endowment Fund. The gala
honors Mrs. Edward Kelley, in recog-

nition of the generous contributions of
the Autry and Kelley families.

The evening also includes cocktails
and dinner at the university's Cohen
House. Underwriters of the event may
reserve entire tables of ten for them-
selves and their guests.

If you haven't participated in one of
the previous gala events, we hope you'll
make a point to do so this year. It's a
very special evening, and one that helps
the library on its path to becoming an
increasingly significant academic
research institution.

If you would like to arrange tickets
or underwriting, please contact Betty
Charles, 285-5157. We'd like to thank
the many people who are providing
time, auction items and donations
for this year's gala fund-raising event.
Your contributions will affect the
quality of education for generations
of students at Rice. On their behalf,
we thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Joanie Hurd

RICE UNIVERSITY
FONDREN LIBRARY

Founded under the charter of
the university dated May 18, 1891,
the library was established in 1913.
Its present facility was dedicated
November 4, 1949, and rededi-
cated in 1969 after a substantial
addition, both made possible by
gifts of Ella F. Fondren, her chil-
dren, and the Fondren Foun-
dation and Trust as a tribute
to Walter William Fondren.
The library recorded its half-
millionth volume in 1965; its one
millionth volume was celebrated
Apni 22, 1979.

THE FRIENDS OF
FONDREN LIBRARY

The Friends of Fondren Library
was founded in 1 950 as an asso-
ciation of library supporters inter-
ested in increasing and making
better known the resources of
Fondren Library at Rice Univer-
sity. The Friends, through mem-
bers' contributions and sponsor-
ship of a memorial and honor gift
program, secure gifts and bequests
and provide funds for the purchase
of rare books, manuscripts, and
other materials that could not
otherwise be acquired by the
library.

'This is history. . .your own'

by Katherine Kelley Dittmar

Mrs. Jenkins was a scrappy, no nonsense
martinet of a teacher, and she terrified
everyone in her class. Yet her students always
left the seventh grade knowing how to make a
first-class outline and understanding that Texas
has Its own special history. I remember the day
she barked out mstructions that we were to give
a ten-minute report on an assigned topic in front
of the entire class. M>' subject was the Texas
Revolution. It was the first time any of us had
been assigned a "research project," and we did
not even know what "research" was.

Arriving home in tears , 1 sobbed out my news
to Mom. A sly grin spread over her face.

"just wait here," she said. "I have something
to show you." She returned with a bundle of
papers - copies of the letters my great-great-great
grandfather, Micajah Autry, wrote to his family
in 1835 while en route to the Alamo.

"This is history," she said, "and it is your
own."

In the summer of 1959, Fondren Library
received the papers of Judge James Lockhart
Autry (1859-1920) from his daughter, Mrs.
Edward Kelley. The papers represented the
library's largest and most important collec-
tion at that time, consisting mainly of mate-
rials from Judge Autry 's partnership with
J.S. Cullinan in the early years of the Texas
oil industry, his father's political career in
Mississippi, and his grandfather Micajah
Autry 's correspondence from 1832 to 1836.

This manuscript collection nearly doubled
in size in 1987 when Mrs. Kelley donated the
rest of her family papers, together with the
majority of her photographic archives.

The Autry collection dates from 1832 to
1946 and consists of over forty cubic feet
ot extensively-indexed business papers and

The Friends ot Fondren Library will host Fondren
Saturday Night XII, the annual fund-raising gala, on
Saturday, April 4 at Rice University's Cohen House.
Proceeds from the dinner and auction benefit the group's
library endowment fund. This year's event honors Mrs.
Edward W. Kelley, representing the Autry and Kelley
families whose members have been generous donors to
Rice University.

This article is written by Katharine Kelley Dittmar, a
Ph.D. candidate in history at Yale University, who is the
granddaughter of Mrs. Kelley and the daughter of Joseph
E. Dittmar and the late AUie Kelley Dittmar. It is based
largely on her extensive research of the Autry collection,
housed in Fondren Library's Woodson Research Center.

letters, family correspondence and financial
records, publications, memorabilia, photo-
graphs and books. They reflect nearly every
aspect of the lives of family members and
document associations with figures including
David Crockett, L.Q.C. Lamar, General
Braxton Bragg, J.S. Cullinan, William C.
Hogg, and John W. Gates.

The Autry family was originally part of
the old French aristocracy which sailed from
France and England to settle in Virginia and
North Carolina as early as 1622. In fact, fam-
ily members are mentioned as participants on
some of the earliest discovery expeditions to
the New World.' The Autrys became well-to-
do planters in North Carolina and managed
to educate their children despite the ruralism
of the Carolina backcountry.

Micajah Autry was bom in North Carolina
around 1793 to Theophilus Autry (1770-
1836) and his wife, Sophia. Micajah moved
west to the Tennessee frontier about 1821,
where he became a lawyer and married a
wealthy widow, Martha Putney Wilkerson
(1796-1866). Micajah prospered first in
Nashville, then in Jackson, Tennessee before
he went broke speculating in dry goods. The
rebellion in Texas had started in October
1835, and the news was received as a clarion
call in the United States by men like Micajah,
who needed a fresh start.

Micajah's letters to his family in Tennessee
reflect his growing excitement at helping to
form a new Republic and settling in Texas.

"1 go whole hog in the cause of Texas. I
expect to help them gain their independence
and also to form their civil government, for
it is worth risking many lives for. From what
I have seen and learned from others, there
is not so fair a portion of the earth's surface
warmed by the sun. Be of good cheer, Martha,
1 will provide for you a sweet home. 1 shall be
entitled to 640 acres of land for my services
in the army and 4444 acres upon condition
of settling my family here . . . and such cotton
country is not under the sun."'

This was the last word from Micajah until
news of his death at the Alamo reached
Tennessee late in the spring of 1836. Martha
moved with her children to the town of Holly
Springs in the Northern Mississippi Territory,
where she had friends. Some 1,920 acres were
granted to her by the Texas Republic for her

husband's service; she developed this land
into a cotton plantation.

Micajah's son, James Lockhart, followed his
father into the legal profession. By 1854, he
had entered mto partnership with an old class-
mate, Christopher Mott, and the celebrated
L.Q.C. Lamar That same year, James was
elected to the Mississippi House of Represen-
tatives and became actively involved in seces-
sionist politics. In November 1858, with his
new bride Jeannie Vaiiiant looking on, he was
sworn in as Speaker of the Mississippi House.

Upon the outbreak of the Civil War, Autry
enlisted in the Ninth Mississippi Regiment of
Volunteers. As military governor of Vicksburg
during the summer of 1862, he and his troops
repelled the Union forces' first attempted
siege of the city. By October, General Braxton
Bragg was retreating from the debacle of his

Kentucky campaign with Rosencrans in hot
pursuit. Autry was reassigned to the command
of the 27th Mississippi Regiment for the up-
coming battle at Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Meanwhile, northern Mississippi was overrun
with Union forces and deserters from both
armies. In his last letter to his wife, James's
agony at leaving his family in such a danger-
ous situation is clearly evident:

"1 can't believe that our army will pull back
any further south. Holly Springs will therefore
be the debateable point where both armies
will have occasional skirmishes. 1 fear much
confusion there on Christmas & oh it almost
runs me crazy to think that you and Ma will be
cut off from me and perhaps treated cruelly."'

On December 31, 1862, while attempting
to charge Sheridan's batteries, James L. Autry
was killed during the battle of Stones' River.

The Flyleaf Page 3

His only child, James Lockhart, Jr., was four.

This James L. Autry came to Texas to Uve
on the land earned by his grandfather's death.
He also became a lawyer and, by 1883, was
one of the youngest judges in Texas. Judge
Autry quickly became one of the outstanding
figures in northeast Texas and the leading
force behind the tremendous growth of
Corsicana in the "Roaring Eighties." In 1894,
during expansion of the town's water supply,
oil was discovered in Corsicana. News of the
Texas fields drew a steady exodus of oil men
from Pennsylvania, among whom was Joseph
S. Cullinan. When Autry was named one of
the directors and elected president of the
Texas Petroleum Oil Association, Cullinan
became a client of McKie and Autry and
later persuaded Autry to become his business
partner as well as his attorney.

When Spindletop blew in on January 10,
1901, Cullinan left for Beaumont and asked
James Autry to go with him. Autry organized
The Texas Company for Cullinan; its charter
was filed in Austin on March 28, 1901. This

Rice was a major recipient of the new
oil wealth

was the origin of the mighty Texaco.

From its inception to his resignation on
November 25, 1913, James L. Autry served as
secretary, director, and general attorney for
The Texas Company and, in the process,
became a pioneer in establishing oil and gas
law. In 1908, he and Cullinan moved to
Houston, where a new ship channel and
active civic life offered enormous investment
possibilities for the oil business and its profits.

A major recipient of the new oil wealth
was Rice University. Judge Autry played a
significant role in the birth and growth of the
university, an interest that has continued to
be shared by his family.

(The Autry House, adjoining Palmer
Memorial Episcopal Church, was given by
Allie Kinsloe Autry in memory of her hus-
band as a community center for Rice students.
Both of Judge Autry 's children graduated from
Rice as did his grandson. Federal Reserve
Board Governor Edward Kelley, who now
serves on its Board of Trustees. Judge Autry 's
son, James L. Ill, was editor of The Thresher
and a ROTC cadet. His daughter, Mrs.
Edward Kelley, has continued to serve Rice in
a number of ways. She gave the gymnasium's
Autry Court in memory of her mother, Allie

Kinsloe Autry. The Kelley Lounge in the Ley
Student Center was donated in honor of her
daughter, Allie Kelley Dittmar. Much of her
attention has been focused on the growth and
expansion of the library, and she served as
President of the Friends of Fondren Library
from 1959 to 1966.)

In addition to the papers of the Autry
men discussed here, a substantial amount of
material documents the lives of other family
members. Jeannie Valliant Autry's correspon-
dence of 1858-1875 describes the devastation
of war in Mississippi and the state's recon-
struction. Most of her letters from the 1890s
until her death in 1912 concern her role in
founding the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy. Almost all of Allie Kinsloe Autry's
papers survive; many detail her involvement
with Rice until her death in 1935.

A small but interesting group of materials
relates to Judge Autry's son, James Lockhart
Autry III (1899-1921). In 1916, "Jimmie"
became the first ham operator in Houston.
Indeed, he was the first to learn of America's
entry into World War I, which he announced
to Houston with a pistol shot.

Records and plans for buildings financed
by the Autrys - both private homes and pub-
lic facilities - are included in the collection,
offering an interesting addition to the archi-
tectural history of Houston.

The photographs span five generations of
Autrys and contain such gems as the auto-
graphed photos of L.Q.C. Lamar (1825-
1893), Bishop William Mercer Green (1798-
1887) of Mississippi and Judge Leroy Valliant
of the Missouri Supreme Court (1838-1913).

An especially nice but small array of
hooks, primarily academic and Episcopal
texts which date from Micajah Autry's arrival
in Tennessee to 1946, conclude the Autry
collection.

With its unique range of subject material -
from political and social history to the devel-
opment of industry in Texas - the Autry
papers are valuable to a wide variety of schol-
ars working in southern and frontier studies.

Certainly Mrs . ]enkins was impressed by
them, and I got an "A" on my report!

Friends gather for books, Schubert

Rice-affiliated authors were honored at a reception in January.

A Rice poet and faculty member recently
recalled the story of a former student,
traveling by plane, who was asked about her
fiance's occupation. On learning he was a poet,
the questioner expressed surprise: "Oh! I didn't
realize there were any living poets!"

Such are some of the travails ot living poets,
who also face the reality of fewer publishers
willing to produce volumes of poetry, tradition-
ally published for prestige rather than profit,
according to Susan Wood, Rice associate pro-
fessor of English. Wood was one of the speakers
at the annual Author Reception hosted in
January by the Friends of Fondren Library.

The event honored nearly 50 members of
the Rice community - faculty, staff, alumni or
members ot the Friends group - whose works
were published in 1991.

The work of "a motley group of scientists
representing various branches of science"

was described by Kathleen Gibson, professor
of anatomical sciences at the University c^f
Texas Health Science Center, Houston Dental
Branch, and adjunct associate professor ot
anthropology at Rice University. As co-editor
ot a book offering perspectives on brain matur-
ation and cognitive development, she offered
perspectives based on a broad range of disciplines.

Dorothy Knox Howe Houghton, co-author
of a book on early Houston architecture, hu-
morously decried the fact that Rice University
Press editors cut the volume to roughly a third
of its original length, which was 900 pages. "I
threatened to read passages that were cut and
let the audience decide," she told the assembled
group.

In February, the Friends co-hosted the annual
Schubertiad with the Shepherd School ot
Music. The annual recital featured perform-
ances by Rice music students.
