Jim Hogg
James Stephen "Big Jim" Hogg (March 24, 1851March 3, 1906) was an American lawyer and statesman, and the 20th Governor of Texas. He was born near Rusk, Texas. Hogg was a follower of the conservative New South Creed which became popular following the U.S. Civil War, and was also associated with populism. He was the first Texas Governor to have been born in Texas. Jim Hogg County is named after him.
Hogg is often remembered for naming his daughter Ima Hogg, an odd name which derived from a poem written by James' brother, Thomas Elisha Hogg. The story that she had a sister named "Ura" is an urban legend.
==Early years==
Hogg was born in Cherokee County, Texas. His parents, Joseph Lewis Hogg and Lucanda McMath had moved to Texas in late 1836.〔 During the Civil War, his father served as a brigadier general in the Confederate States Army. Joseph Hogg died in 1862, and Lucanda died the following year. Hogg and his two brothers were raised by their sister, Frances. The family had little money, and Hogg received only a basic education before being asked to go to work.〔Hendrickson (1995), p. 120.〕
In 1866, Hogg went to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to study.〔 Upon returning to Texas, he became a printer's devil at the ''Rusk Chronicle''. In 1867, Hogg walked from East Texas to Cleburne, where he found a job with the ''Cleburne Chronicle''. Soon after his arrival the building which housed the ''Cleburne Chronicle'' burned down, and Hogg returned to East Texas. For the next several years he worked as a farmhand and studied law. He later ran the ''Longview News'' and founded the ''Quitman News''.〔
