From the Handbook of Texas Online: William Stewart Simkins, lawyer and teacher, born in Edgefield, SC, Aug 25, 1842. He entered the Citadel in 1856, commissioned as a 1st Lt of Artillery in the Confederate Army and served throughout the Civil War. Soon after the war he went to Monticello, FL, where he and his brother Eldred organized the Florida Ku Klux Klan. He was admitted to the bar in 1870, moved to Texas in 1873, and practiced law at Corsicana until 1885, when he and his brother began a practice in Dallas. In the summer of 1899 he joined the law faculty of the Univ of Texas and began a 30-year career as the most colorful character ever connected with the law school. Peregrinus, the symbol of the law school, came from a Simkins lecture. His publications became standard textbooks, not only in Texas but in other law schools. He became professor emeritus in 1923, but continued to lecture once a week until his death in Austin on Feb 27, 1929. Description text copyright 2007 www.BooksForComfort.net. Item ID 14212.
