James Clinton Neill: The Shadow Commander of the Alamo
(James Clinton Neill could be the unsung hero of the Alamo...)
James Clinton Neill could be the unsung hero of the Alamo and the battle for Texas Independence. It was his failure to obey Sam Houston's command to abandon the Alamo that left Texians in the mission and gave Texans their cradle of liberty. Neill was on leave when the Alamo fell to Santa Anna, William B. Travis and James Bowie having assumed temporary command. Was he away because of illness in the family-as rumor has it-or to investigate the disappearance of $5,000 that Harry Hill of Tennessee had donated to the cause of Texas Independence? Colonel Neill soon joined Sam Houston as commander of the artillery at San Jacinto but was injured. Later he accepted appointment as an Indian commissioner. The commander of the Alamo brought an unusual background to Texas. He had served in the Alabama legislature and had fought in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. Included in this biography are details of Neill's Irish and American heritage, his part in the "Come and Take It" incident at Gonzales, and his work with the Constitutional Convention at San Felipe. Until now, James Clinton Neill has rarely received more than a footnote reference.

Among the earliest of newsmen were the ancient guards who made their rounds and then announced news items along with the assurance that all ws well within the walls. Early leaders in the Southwestern Journalism Congress shared the belief that journalists were still watchmen on the walls and another belief that such watchmen needed a special kind of college education. The banded together to give aid to all colleges and universities interested in the establishment and development of a sound program in education for journalism throughout the Southwest. Instead of rivalry, there was fellowship, a genuine concern for effective exchange of ideas, and an enthusiasm for this new field of higher education. Dates covered 1928-1967.
