Monument Unveiling for General Gustav Schleicher This Afternoon
At 5 o'clock this afternoon the unveiling ceremony for the monument to General Gustav Schleicher will be held in the military cemetery. The monument honors his memory not as a political figure but as a public servant and veteran. Schleicher served in the Confederate army as a captain of engineers, oversaw Sabine Pass fortifications, and after the war helped build the Victoria to east railroad. He later entered politics, winning a seat in the 6th Congressional District and serving in the 45th and 46th Congresses.
