Summary
[edit]| Description | Carte de Visite of Adam Rankin Johnson, Archives Division, Texas State Library Note: Adam Rankin "Stovepipe" Johnson moved to Burnet County, Texas from Kentucky in 1854. He soon gained a reputation as a surveyor of virgin territory in west Texas. When the Civil War began, he returned to Kentucky and enlisted. One of his most remarkable feats was the capture of Newburgh, Indiana from a large Union garrison with only 12 men and two joints of a stovepipe mounted on the running gear of an abandoned wagon. This episode won him his nickname. He was shot at and lost the use of his eyes during another attack on a federal garrison in 1864. After the war, he returned to Texas and founded the town of Marble Falls, also known as "the blind man’s town." | |||
