James E. Harrison
James Edward Harrison (April 24, 1815 - February 23, 1875) was a Confederate States Army brigadier general during the American Civil War. He served in the Trans-Mississippi Department and fought in campaigns in Louisiana. Before the war, he was a two-term Mississippi state senator before moving to Texas in 1857. After the war, he was a trustee of Baylor University.
==Early life==
James Edward Harrison was born on April 24, 1815 in Greenville District, South Carolina.〔Eicher, John H., and David J. Eicher. ''Civil War High Commands''. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 2001. ISBN 0-8047-3641-3. p. 283〕〔Warner, Ezra J. ''Generals in Gray: Lives of the Confederate Commanders.'' Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 1959. ISBN 0-8071-0823-5. pp. 126-127〕 The Harrison family moved to Alabama and then to Mississippi when Harrison was a boy.〔
James Harrison served two terms in the Mississippi Senate.〔〔Faust, Patricia L. "Harrison, James Edward" in ''Historical Times Illustrated History of the Civil War'', edited by Patricia L. Faust. New York: Harper & Row, 1986. ISBN 978-0-06-273116-6. pp. 345-346〕〔Sifakis, Stewart. ''Who Was Who in the Civil War.'' New York: Facts On File, 1988. ISBN 0-8160-1055-2. pp. 287-288〕〔Sifakis, p. 287, states that James Harrison served in the Alabama state senate which is inconsistent with Faust and Warner, and also with Warner's statement that the family moved on to Mississippi and that Harrison's younger brother Thomas was brought up in Mississippi.〕
Harrison moved to Texas, near Waco, in 1857.〔 He was a commissioner for the State of Texas in negotiations with Native Americans (Indians).〔〔 These negotiations were undertaken upon the order of Texas Governor Edward Clark, who replaced the deposed Sam Houston when Houston refused to swear allegiance to the Confederacy.〔 The negotiators tried to persuade the Five Civilized Tribes to join with the Confederacy in the event of war with the United States.〔 The negotiators returned with an optimistic report.〔〔Although Indian troops did fight for the Confederacy, they did not do so in the numbers the Confederates expected or in many major engagements. Their main contributions were as scouts and raiders, as soldiers at the Battle of Pea Ridge, and as soldiers under the command of General Stand Watie at various minor battles and raids.

ISBN 978-0-06-273116-6. pp. 345-346〕 Upon his return from the negotiations, Harrison became a member of the Texas secession convention.〔〔
