Jack C. Hays

Designed after a bronze statue on the Hays County courthouse lawn, this pin serves as our chapter pin and celebrates the life of John Coffee Hays, who joined the Texas Rangers in the formative years of their role as citizen soldiers, becoming an able leader and fearless fighter (called "Devil  Jack").  Hays and his rangers were usually outnumbered, and their effective use of revolvers revolutionized warfare against Texas Indians.

True Women

TRUE WOMEN, a work of historical fiction written by a member of our chapter and based on her own ancestors' stories, tells of two dynastic family lines in Texas, the Kings and the Woodses.  Euphemia was there when Sam Houston's rag-tag army routed Santa Anna at San Jacinto.  Georgia ran the Yankee cotton blockade during the Civil War and defended her family from a corrupt Yankee officer, and Bettie steered her family through the turbulent birth of modern times.  This pin is styled after the 1994 book, and the 2004 movie starring Angelina Jolie.

Angelina Eberly

In 1842 when Sam Houston commissioned the removal of public documents of the Republic of Texas from Austin, Angelina Eberly fired a six-pound gun that city officials kept loaded with grapeshot in case of Indian attack.  Austinites, aroused by the cannon, became involved in what is known as the Archive War.  Ultimately, the archives were returned to Austin permanently, and Mrs. Eberly became known as the Lady Cannoneer.
