Greenbury (Greenberry) Logan, free black soldier in the Texas Revolution, was born a slave in Kentucky in 1799 and emancipated by his white father, David Logan. In June 1832 he took part in the battle of Velasco. Logan joined the Texas army on October 7, 1835, and fought in James W. Fannin, Jr.’s company in the battle of Concepción. He was a member of Capt. John York’s company when he volunteered to join Benjamin R. Milam for the Siege of Béxar. Logan was the third man to fall; a wound in his right arm crippled him for life.

George S. Nelson – painter, sculptor, illustrator, archaeologist, writer, historian
George S. Nelson is a painter, sculptor, illustrator, archaeologist, writer, historian, and a historical consultant whose main subject matter is Texas. He is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and combines his thirty years of experience with his skills as an artist to create murals, dioramas, reliefs, and sculptures, recreating and interpreting historic and archaeological sites throughout Texas. Recognized as a specialist in museum exhibits in the state of Texas, his work is included in the collections of the Alamo, the City of San Antonio, the National Park Service, the Institute of Texan Cultures, the Texas Memorial Museum, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the Witte Museum.
His extensive research over three decades resulted in the award-winning book, The Alamo-An Illustrated History, which he authored, illustrated, and published. His expertise on the Alamo allows Mr. Nelson to continue to update the publication. The book is currently in its third printing and the second edition contains new information, maps, and photos. Mr. Nelson’s book is the most frequently recommended book on the Alamo by the San Antonio Public Library. Dr. Mary Black of the University of Texas at Austin finds the book useful to both teachers and students of Texas history.
In 1998, the National Park Service commissioned Mr. Nelson to create a bronze relief map of Mission San Jose, which appears at the entrance to the Mission grounds. In 1986, the City of San Antonio commissioned other projects. Mr.Nelson created a relief map of San Antonio de Bejar, showing the layout of the town, the Alamo, and surrounding terrain. The map was commissioned by the Witte Museum and is exhibited at the IMAX Theater. In 1997, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas requested the use of Mr. Nelson ‘s paintings of the evolution of the Alamo and placed the works on the interpretive Wall of History at the Alamo.
Thirty archaeological excavations in Texas, Colorado, Oregon, Alaska and Utah benefited from Mr. Nelson’s expertise as an archaeologist and artist. Mr. Nelson is a native Texan. He lives and works on the Nelson Ranch in the Dry Frio Canyon of the Texas Hill Country where four generations of his family lived and ranched. Cranbook art museum said that George Nelson is considered one of the most influential figures in American design during the second half of the twentieth century.

Siege of Bexar Participants
This list is incomplete as the Muster Rolls of 1850 burned in the fire at the Adjutant General’s office Oct. 10, 1855, but the General Land Office had copies of most of them. The fire in the Texas state capitol in 1880 destroyed more of them. They can be seen at the Texas State Archives.
“According to the research done by Thomas Miller in The Public Lands of Texas 1519-1917, the General Land Office possesses a ‘true copy of the Muster Rolls prepared by the adjutant general in 1850.’ Because the adjutant general’s office was destroyed by fire in 1855, and all the records were lost, the Muster Roll copies in the General Land Office and the Texas State Archives in Austin, Texas are probably the only ones in existence.”
