Logan Vandeveer

He came to Texas in 1833, joining Stephen F. Austin's Little Colony at Mina in present-day Bastrop County.

Vandeveer, a private, was badly wounded in the battle of San Jacinto, and was discharged at Mina on June 1, 1836.

After his discharge from the army, Vandeveer entered the Texas Rangers and fought Indians throughout the Bastrop area.

A number of subjects, including French, Latin, geography, history, philosophy, mathematics, and elocution, were taught in the one-room school pictured at right.

A rock house was also built for his family and his father, William, and was located east of Hamilton Creek.

In the summer of 1855, following a severe drought, Vandeveer, his brother Zachary, and three other men took a large herd of cattle to Louisiana.
