Milton Holland - Why is his name not first on this list? He is the first Texas born to receive the Medal of Honor. His father was Bird Holland the Secretary of State of Texas, his signature signed Texas into the Confederacy. Prior to that he had bought Milton and his siblings from his brother Spearman Holland, both slave owners. Bird fell love with a slave named Matilda, they had at least 5 children. He sent 2 sons and at least 1 daughter to Ohio to be educated. One of his sons died fighting for the South along side Bird in Louisiana. Milton was the Hero of Chapin Hill, all the white officers had been killed and Milton (wounded) led them to victory. His brother William returned to Texas, becoming a State Legislature and was key in founding Prairie View A&M. Please see the work of R.G. Ratcliff, great Texas historian trying to tell this story.
