Last year the Mason County Historical Commission held the first
Mason County War Symposium in the old restored downtown theater,
and it was so well attended and successful that it has now become an
annual event. The second annual symposium will be July 27, 2003,
from 1 to 5 P.M., in the high school auditorium. There will be no admis-
sion fee. Panel moderator Chuck Parsons will ride herd on a collection
of Mason County War experts: Julius DeVos, Glenn Hadeler, Allen G.
Hatley, David Johnson, Jerry Ponder, and Peter R. Rose. It promises to
be a wonderful event again this year, and the good folks in the beauti-
ful Hill Country town of Mason will make you feel welcome. For more
information contact Jane Hoerster, chair of the Mason County
Historical Commission.
The Texas State Historical Association is co-sponsor of the spring East
Texas Historical Association meeting in Marshall on February 14-15.
ETHA Executive Director Archie P. McDonald says program chairs Gail
Beil, Linda Hudson, Margaret Agnor, and Jennifer Larned have put
together a varied program that includes papers on Caddo Lake archeol-
ogy, Marshall's artistic heritage, civil rights, women in East Texas, coun-
try music, and other intriguing topics, including one entitled "Murder
and Politics in East Texas." The Harrison County Historical Commission
will host the traditional Friday evening reception at the Michelson
Museum of Art in downtown Marshall, and Elizabeth Wittenmyer Lewis
of Houston will speak on "Queen of the Confederacy: The Innocent
Deceits of Lucy Holcombe Pickens."
The Texas Archeological Society will sponsor an Academy on
February 22, 23, and March 1. The Archaeology Department at the
University of St. Thomas is a cosponsor of this workshop with assistance
from the Houston Archeological Society.
Instruction includes discovery of archeological sites, mapping visible
remains, analyzing evidence, reporting finds and protecting history from
destruction. Dr. Harry Shafer of Texas A&M University will teach the
Academy in consultation with local experts. Two days will be conducted
in the classroom with hands-on exercises and the third day will be spent
in the field to identify and record a nearby site.448
