Southwestern Historical Quarterly
William A. Hunter, 1215 Denver Avenue, Fort Worth 6,
Texas, wants full information from some Texas naturalist on
the wood pigeon and the blue sandhill crane-especially when
the last blue sandhill crane was seen in Texas.
Professor Samuel Asbury, of Texas Agricultural and Me-
chanical College, has kindly furnished the office a typewritten
copy, made by our esteemed member Philip C. Tucker, Braden-
ton, Florida, of "A Complete History of Chambers County,
Texas," from the Anahuac Progress, June 25, 1937. Professor
Asbury has also furnished a typed copy of the First Census
of Austin's Colony, 1826, taken from the Spanish Archives,
LIV, 9-18 of the General Land Office. Both contributions are
valuable and much appreciated.
Professor Asbury has also recently written a generous and
helpful letter regarding the July issue of the Quarterly.
This July Quarterly is just magnificent. . . . Of course Dr. Barker's
"Bugbee" leads all the rest. . . . [In connection with Dan Ferguson's
"Forerunners of Baylor"] the name was Elias Wightman, not Wright-
man. And I think Pilgrim had his school in Gulf Prairie among the
Perry's and the McNeels, etc., and nearly down to the Gulf, when the
Bryans and Stephen F. Austin, Jr., went to school to him. He might
have taught school earlier at Columbia, but I think he went directly to
Gulf Prairie from San Felipe. . . . I was particularly pleased with Pro-
fessor Bragg's article. . ... Dr. Haggard's article on the "Neutral Ground"
is good and I'm a specialist on the border counties this side of the Sabine.
Dr. Gene Hollon has been employed by the Humble Oil and
Refining Company for the summer as a research historian.
Dr. Hollon goes to the department of history in the University
of Oklahoma in September as an assistant professor of history.
In Oklahoma he will assist Professor M. H. Wardell in inaugu-
rating Junior Historian work there. Hollon goes to Oklahoma
well prepared, as he was for several years a Junior Historian
sponsor for the Association.

college students, sponsored by the Association from funds con-
tributed by the Hon. Harry Pennington of San Antonio, are
