Confederates Form Camp Ben McCulloch No 946 in 1896
The Rogers Spring on Onion Creek near Driftwood Texas saw the 1896 organization of Camp Ben McCulloch No 946 with charter members led by M L Reed as commander Jacob Quick as first lieutenant and W W Davis as third lieutenant. The first reunion resembled a Sunday picnic and grew into the Souths largest Confederate veterans camp with annual reunions at Rogers Spring featuring barbecues taps address by attorney Gerald Mann and talks by Dr A W Birdwell on guarding democracy.
