I have the book and have visited the site. One of the pictures is the same that I have in "Father Wore Gray" by Lela Whitton Hagarty. It was written with the San Antonio Real Daughters of the Confederacy Club - 1963. Grandmother gave the author Granddaddy Burris (Ben. Franklin) papers, which she lost. In the article, it states that he was a private in Co. C. Eight Reg. Texas Cavalry, known as Terry's Rangers. It also has copies of two of his poems - "The Battle of Shiloh" and " The Texas Ranger". My mother also told me that they used Granddaddy Burris at the model of the Trail Drivers in Austin. I have tried to located it but have not been able to at this time. Hope this helps you.
