Class of '1860: 1st photo, George W. McNeel, The Texan 1837-1864, 2nd photo Wm. Brownlee Voorhees Readington, N.J.

A book of “autographs and photographs” commissioned by the graduating class of 1860 at Rutgers College in New Brunswick, New Jersey. It was owned by student George Washington McNeel of Texas, a southerner at a northern college, and the inspiration for the story of the Samuel Perry character in Ripped Apart.

“My Southern Friend, When we have finished our College course, and you have gone to your Southern home, remember that you are a citizen of a great republic. As such, be loyal, and countenance no schemes of personal or sectional aggrandizement. Tell your friends and neighbors that from your certain knowledge there is a great, conservative, Union-loving people at the North; that they look upon our country as one country, and never will consent to its dissolution. Tell them how a Frelinghuysen [the president of Rutgers] pleads their rights, and teaches his students to uphold the Constitution and the laws.”~ Your classmate, Wm. Brownlee Voorhees"

In 1861 McNeel returned home and joined the Confederate 8th Texas Cavalry, which became better known in Lone Star lore as Terry’s Texas Rangers

McNeel was elected first lieutenant and rose to the rank of major. Records indicate that he was at the Battle of Shiloh in Tennessee in April 1862

He had two horses shot from under him in the Battle of Pleasant Hill, but survived to carry a flag of truce to the enemy, who wished to send medical supplies to their captured wounded. A month later, on May 7, with the Union in retreat and the Confederates advancing to a victory that would do it little good, he was shot and killed by a picket while reconnoitering the lines. His stepmother, a northerner like his young wife, marked his death in the family Bible: “Aged 26 years, 7 months and 10 days. His life has been given in noble sacrifice in his country’s service.”
