Major Littlefield funds Southern Civil War history at Texas State University
Major Littlefield donates $25,000 for a history of the Civil War in the South, to be compiled by a scholar at Texas State University. The fund aims to preserve authentic records of those who served and fell from 1861 to 1865, with a six percent income and a twenty five year horizon. The project seeks a fair impartial account of the South before during and after the conflict.
