Grassroots Effort
to Preserve The PastTerry's Texas Rangers Flag. Top image is the obverse side of the flag (front of the banner,

Jhis story begins in
1888, when three former
Confederate soldiers--
Nimrod L. Norton, William
H. Westfall, and George W.
Lacy donated the granite
from which the Texas State
Capitol was built. In gratitude
for this generous gift,
the state gave these men an
office in the Capitol. A few
years later, these same soldiers
gave that space to the
United Daughters of the
Confederacy to use for a museum.
It became known as
the Albert Sidney Johnston
Museum and housed the artifacts
that the Daughters
had accumulated.HERITAGE * 22 * WINTER 2000
