The Confederate Graves Survey Archive of the Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans consists of surveys of cemeteries throughout Texas, and portions of Oklahoma and New Mexico. The surveys document the interment of Confederate States of America military veterans. United States of America (Union) veterans, as well as able-bodied men at the time of the Civil War, are also documented. 13 boxes entitled "Grave Surveys" contain grave surveys listed county-by-county, 3 boxes of "Unit Files" list surveyed individuals by their military unit. Finally, 17 boxes contain "Veteran Files" that document each veteran by name in "last name, first name, middle initial" format. An index that cross-references each of the collection series (Grave Surveys, Unit Files, and Veteran Files) is included, as are institutions to surveyors on how and what to document while conducting surveys. ; N. Belton Cemetery #1, Belton, Bell County, Texas | Veterans Interred: Albertson, Lorenzio W. ; Bradshaw Cemetery #649, Taylor County, Texas | Veterans Interred: Pike, Oliver Monroe.

The subject of my paper is the author. I aim to explore how the self-conscious author functions in Fish-Hair Woman (2012), a metafictional novel by Merlinda Bobis. I begin with a brief discussion of how the author is constructed, first, in Philippine literary criticism, and second, in light of the collapse of the humanist tradition of valorizing the writer, which prompted the proclamation of the author's "death" and rendered her irrelevant to the text and to criticism. But does the author stay dead? In metafiction, in particular, the author manages to "write" herself into the text using self-consciousness. I find that, while it is impossible to overlook the author's decentered status, it is equally untenable to ignore how an overt "manifestation" of the author functions within the text. Through my reading of Fish-Hair Woman, I attempt to examine how the author's self-consciousness results in two seemingly contradicting implications. On the one hand, the author's constant references to herself allows her to "live" through the text, reinforcing the Barthesian notion that the author limits the text and its possible interpretations. On the other hand, the author's constant references to herself as a subject exposes the author's own limitations. This, in turn, "re-opens" the text, by giving room to questions about other perspectives that are not or cannot be represented in the text.

Introduction: The "sanctuary city" movement is a grassroots, human rights-based response to increased numbers of non-status migrants living and working in global cities (Faraday 2012; Sawchuk & Kempf 2008; Bhuyan 2012; OCASI 2012). Nonstatus migrants live in situations of extreme precariousness — they are subject to detention and deportation if identified by federal authorities; often work in poor conditions; are socially isolated; face poverty, abuse, and exploitation; and are unable to safely access essential social services, including those related to healthcare, education, labour, shelters, food banks, and police services (Gibney 2000; De Giorgi 2010; Noll 2010). In February 2013, Toronto became the first "sanctuary city" in Canada, which is currently styled "Access T.O." Hamilton and Vancouver followed suit in 2014 and 2016, respectively. The primary objective of Access T.O. is to ensure that all residents are able to access municipal and police services, regardless of immigration status. The policy directs city officials not to: 1) inquire into immigration status when providing select services, 2) deny non-status residents access to services to which they are entitled, and 3) share personal or identifying information with federal authorities, unless required to do so by federal or provincial law (City of Toronto 2013). ; Hudson, G., Atak, I., Manocchi, M., & Hannan, C.

The first word uttered on the moon was "Houston." That was the first word of the longer phrase uttered by Buzz Aldrin: "Houston, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed." I know there are those who say that there were other jargon words uttered first in the process of landing such as "contact light," but that's a mere technicality. The words that matter are those that officially announced the safe landing of The Eagle on the moon, and of those words, the first one was "Houston." Another way to put it is the first phone call from the moon was placed to Houston. But this is not the centerpiece of our story today. This is just a lead into a more fascinating connection between Texas and the moon landing. The fact that Houston was so central to the success of the achievement was prophesied, in a way, 100 years before, by Jules Verne, in his novel, From the Earth to the Moon. This is the same Jules Verne who wrote Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Around the World in Eighty Days. He is often considered to be the father of modern science fiction. Well, his book, From the Earth to the Moon, concerns a moon shot. And it was actually a moon shot because in the book, characters attempt to build an enormous cannon and fire a huge "bullet" at the moon. Now, the bullet looks amazingly like the Apollo Capsule. It has room for three people in it, just like the real lunar capsule that would come 100 years later. Even the physics of Verne's moon voyage were impressively correct for his time (except for the intolerable g-forces that would have been experienced by the people in the bullet capsule). So how does Texas factor into this prophecy? Well, Verne calculated that the best place from which to launch such a shot at the moon would be either Florida or Texas. It would have to be below the 28th parallel. He discusses Brownsville as a possible launch site (interesting that Space X is now locating a launch facility there). Corpus Christi is discussed as a possible site, and so is Galveston Bay. Also, Verne names one site in Florida as an option – "Tampa Town." The real life Tampa is across the state from Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, where the Apollo moon launch eventually came from. Remember, Verne's novel was written 100 years before the actual moon landing. Verne even named the launch cannon The Columbiad. The command module for the moon landing was The Columbia. The other accurate prophecy came in the way of politics. Verne has a wonderful section in From the Earth to the Moon on Florida and Texas each flexing their political muscle and persuasion skills to win the business of the space launch. The same thing indeed happened 100 years later. The debate was settled by Lyndon Johnson, Texas' native son. He, through political maneuvering, gave the launch site to Florida and the command center to Texas. Still, it is fascinating to read the arguments each state advocated in Verne's novel. The Texans claimed a greater population: 330,000 to Florida's 50,000. Texas had the finest cotton, the best iron ore, the purest grade oil and coveted green oak for ships. Tampa said they had the best bay from which to bring in supplies. Texans said, "You mean a bay clogged with sand! Galveston Bay can hold all the navies of the world." And then Florida dropped the big one – the space launch should go to the state that is truly American. Texas got red-faced and said, "Scandalous – wretched little strip of country like Florida to dare to compare itself to Texas. Texas didn't sell herself to the union for 5 million dollars. She won her own independence at San Jacinto when Sam Houston defeated Santa Anna and drove the Mexican armies from the state. Only then did we voluntarily annex ourselves to the U.S. Anyway, that little strip of land called Florida will be ripped apart by the forces of the moon launch." Florida said, "Not so. And Galveston Bay is slightly below the 29th parallel and Tampa Bay is right smack on the 28th parallel," perfectly positioned for the moon shot. And so Florida won that argument. And 100 years later Florida got the launch site, too. But in real life, I figure Texas got the best deal with the command center (and the budgets). And, it got the first word. The first word of consequence uttered on the moon was "Houston." And it was this space connection that gave us a team called the Astros, the WORLD CHAMPION ASTROS, I might add. *Special thanks to Dr. Jack Stanley who told me about this book and its unique connection to Texas.
