A Negro Veteran.


Few persons. we think, have Travelled
in Texas who have not heard of Thomas
Savoy, alias Black Tom, alias the Special
Citizen of Bexar county. He was by
trade barber, but by inclination SOL
der, and his history is intimately con-
nected with the warlike spirit of that part
Of Texas. He was much fonder, too, of the
company of white men than of that of
persons of his own color.
Tom was a native of Maryland, then
citizen of Washington, d. c., then res
ident of Mississippi, whence he emigrated
to Texas, at the beginning of the Revolu-
ton there, with company of Mississippi
volunteers, his razor in his pocket and a
gun On his shoulder. They joined Gen.
Houston short time after the battle of
San Jacinto, but Black Toms subsequent
conduct as a soldier elected the praise of
his hard-fghting comrades and superior
officers.
The year 1899 was distinguished in
Texas annals by the expedition under
Jordan to Saltillo, to assist the the treach-
erous Canalcs in his armed Federalist at
tempt against the Mexican anti-Federal-
ist. He betrayed his little band of Texan
allies, but they and their gallant leader
gave the united Federalists and States
Rights Mexican army two as thorough
consecutive drubbinga as they everreceived,
and then returned leisurely home without
interruption. Black Tom was one Of JOr-
dams men, and if he had little occasion or
time to use his razor, he made up for it
by a skilllul handling of his offensive
weapons.
In 1852, Gen. Woll invaded Texas with
a Mexican army, and got good beating
at the battle Of the Salado. Tom was in
the midst Of it, and was wounded. He
participated in several subsequent conflicts
with the Indians, fighting bravely as
usual.
He followed his old Texan comrades
under Taylor's banner, and hurried along
with them into battle at Montery. He
