Camp Flournoy, Texas 
Records, 1861-1870; ledger (.08 linear ft.)  Camp Flournoy was located in Wood County, Texas, a few miles southeast of Quitman. Samuel M. Flournoy provided the land for the camp from his property holdings just southeast of his home. Flournoy enlisted there in the Third Texas Confederate Cavalry in October 1861.  The ledger contains quartermaster records for Camp Flournoy, Texas, September 15-17, and 21, 1861. It lists supplies for Captains Alex Earp, Mat Barton, H. D. E. Redwine, J. H. Rucker, 1 W. Wilson, M. L. Crawford, C. E. McKnight, Anderson Whetstone, Martin, and Crain, who probably served in Matthew F. Locke's Tenth Texas Cavalry. A notation indicates the regiment left Clarksville, Texas, on February 12, 1962, and crossed the Red River on the 14th and on to Rocky Comfort on the 15th. The Tenth Texas Cavalry fought most often as infantry being dismounted in 1862. It served in Matthew D. Ector's Brigade, Army of Tennessee, and participated in several major battles, including Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in which the regiment suffered thirty-four percent casualties. Also recorded in the ledger is a statement that the volume was preserved by Charles W. Pyle, whose wife, Georgia Elizabeth Avery-Pyle used the ledger to record student tuition payments in a Gilmer Texas school, ca. 1865-1870. The ledger also contains essays, "in Memory of Willis," "Look Aloft!" and "Winter and Old Age," as well as recipes for food and soap, and was used as a math workbook.
