Preface
At about eight years old I was exposed to Texas' pioneer giants, those legendary men who kindled my boyhood dreams. My maternal grandmother, Virginia (Ginny) Durant McDougald, first introduced me to those earthy characters.
Ginny was an eyewitness to the founding of Alvin, Texas, in the 1870s by her father, Maj. George William Durant, a repatriated Confederate soldier. As a teenager, she spent many hours listening to her maternal grandfather, John Wesley Durant, recount his life during Texas' early years as a republic. John W. had represented Horry County in the 32nd General Assembly of the South Carolina legislature during 1836 and 1837. He also had served a hitch as captain in the South Carolina Militia during the Florida War in 1837.
