During the late war Mr. Wright served in Company D., under Captain Canada, of Arizona, in Madison's regiment, and participated in the battles of Mansfield, Pleasant Hill, Yellow Bayou, all in Louisiana and in many skirmishes. On the occasion of Banks' retreat he was in the saddle forty days and at Pine Bluff, Arkansas, his horse was shot in the head, but not killed, however. On returning to Texas from this fight the regiment was disbanded and Mr. Wright united with a party to protect the settlers from Indian incursions in a combat with whom he again had his horse short from under him. Later, July 29, 1866, while in a fight with a gang of white horse-thieves who had run off fifty-three horses, Mr. Wright was shot in his right side, the ball coming out on the left.

Dr. James G. Wright abandoned his practice in Alabama in 1830, and came to Texas, visiting and sojourning at Harrisburg, Gonzales and Clarksville, the last names in the then territory of Red River, where he was elected clerk of the territory, filling that office at the same time he was engaged in practicing his profession. While at Gonzales, he once rode a distance of one hundred miles to attend a patient, and for the visit received 5,000 acres of land.

William Crow Wright was born in Clarksville, Texas, February 28, 1837, and began business by working for five dollars per month, saving from his earnings sufficient money to pay for his education at McKinzie College. After leaving school he clerked in a dry goods store at Sherman, four years, and then gathered together what means he had and went to Mexico, invested his cash in Spanish mares and brought them to Texas. Just at this time the war of secession broke forth and Mr. Wright enlisted in Company F, Madison's regiment of Texas cavalry, and served until the final surrender, passing through twenty-two battles and receiving one wound only, and that, although from a spent grape-shot, came very near killing him; but he recovered, and on his return to Texas, found the State infested with wild Indians, border ruffians, and desperadoes of every character. Mr. Wright at once organized a company for the protection of the citizens, and of this was elected captain and did much to suppress the lawlessness then rife, by warring upon the Comanches and Kiowas and horse thieves. The Indians were under the lead of their chiefs, Big Tree and Santana. For four years these Indians and white desperadoes continued their depredations, plundering and murdering, and driving off the range the cattle and horses, at times capturing as high as a thousand head in one raid; but they yielded at last to the bravery and skill of such men as Crow Wright, and order was again restored.
