But George Washington Littlefield (1842-1920) made more of his than most men are able to do. The bankers spoke of him as a cowman; the cowmen referred to him as a banker - both thereby conferring unintended compliments. And he bestrode both professions like a colossus. In the Texas of his time, he made a strong impression upon his contemporaries. As a successful man, either in a Yorktown saddle on the Texas range, or, as Will Hogg put it, in his saffron cage on Congress Avenue (Austin), he burned his brands so deep that even those who ran might read. Littlefield was both a personality and a practical force, one of the prime movers in an extending empire of grass. He had that blend of the southern and the western which has made the Texas tradition. A southerner by birth and raisin', born to the heritage of Mississippi planters and raised on an ante-bellum Texas plantation, at nineteen he rode forth for the Confederacy with Terry's immortal Texas Rangers, and at twenty-one was breveted a major for gallantry in action and retired for wounds received at Mossy Creek. Littlefield was above all other things, however, a cowman - an encomium that denotes much more than possession of enough money to buy cows. He earned his trade, after the Civil War, on the native range of the cowboy, and he had the long head necessary to success in that ceaseless struggle with the vagaries of weather, markets, and animal nature which is the lot of those who raise beef on the hoof. He trailed longhorns to Kansas, opened huge ranges in the Panhandle, grazed thousands of cattle on the Pecos, and discovered that money could also be made across a bank counter. There were times when he left his range or bank to exercise a citizen's prerogatives in politics, and here, too, his actions were almost always decisive. But, as his biographer says, most of all he was an unreconstructed rebel who never forgot that his deepest love was the South - nothing was dearer to him than the cause which some have contended was lost. So that the truth of that cause might not be lost, Major Littlefield devoted a fortune to higher education at the University of Texas, for buildings, library collections, and the writing of a definitive history of the South.
