Author1914From The Beginning Until Now: in the beginning, two great contending forces, sectional strife and war, the federal apollyon, an invisible triumphant army, romance and reality, along life’s highway, from Dan to Beersheba.

From the Beginning Until Now appears to have been self-published in 1914. It is not so much a historical account of the war as it is retrospective reflections on the the conflict and its aftermath from a Confederate perspective. Many passages compare the tragedies of the war with biblical passages.

Houghton offers his justification for the Confederacy's right to succeed from the Union, defends the treatment of Negros in the pre-war south, and recounts the formation of the KKK. Some excerpts:

The Anglo-Saxon people of the Southern States within a few generations elevated the heathen, savage black people, the lowest and most degraded race of mankind to a pinnacle higher in the scale of civilization than did the Egyptians with all their learning and art uplift the Israelites in four hundred years of vassalage. (pp. 28-29)

The tragic and untimely death of President Lincoln was lamented by the Confederates as well as by the Northern people. The Southern people detest assassins and cowards even when they strike down their avowed enemy and greatest persecutor.
The conclusion has prevailed, that had Mr. Lincoln's life been spared, the lot of the defeated Confederates would have been more tolerable. There is nothing in his conduct of the war, or in his expressed animus toward the Southern people to justify such a verdict. (p. 64)

In June, 1866, in the little town of Pulaski, in Southern Tennessee, near the Alabama line, a few young men, finding time hanging heavily on their hands, met in a law office on night and concluded to organize a society of some kind; some one suggested that they call it 'Kukloid,' from the Greek work kuklos, meaning a circle, and some other person present said, 'Call it Ku Klux'; the work 'Klan' was then added to complete the alliteration. In order to arouse public curiosity and surround the organization with an atmosphere of mystery, various devices were resorted to; the oath bound the member to absolute secrecy in regard to everything pertaining to the order, and he was prohibited from disclosing the fact that he was a Ku Klux, or giving the name of any other member, or soliciting membership; each member was required to appear at the meetings arrayed in a long robe with a white mask and very tall hat made of white pasteboard; the meetings were held at night in the cellar of a deserted brick house standing on a hill near the town. The only business transacted at the meetings was the initiation of new members with the most fantastic of ceremonies, and the only purpose of the order was to mystify outsiders and have fun. (pp. 126-127)

This book has 276 numbered pages and a number of illustrations. It is in very good condition, with all pages and illustrations intact. There are no markings in the book. The binding is tight, with just a few loose pages near the front of the book. The cover is bright, but the spine is slightly worn and darkened.

BiographyAL Hx: Houghton, Mitchell Bennett, business man, was born September 14, 1844, at Franklin, Heard County, Ga; son of William henry and Eliza Ann (Bennett) Houghton, who moved from Georgia to south Alabama just before the War of secession, the former of whom was born at Greensboro, Greene County, Ga., and lived at wetumpka, 1837-1838, and later in Russell, now Lee County, near Salem, and also of Newton, Dale County; grandson of William and Elizabeth 9Crutchfield) of Greensboro, Ga., and of Rev. Mitchell and Didama Bennett, who lived near Salem, now Lee County; brother of William Robert Houghton (q.v.) He obtained his education from Dover academy, established by Col. R. L. Mott, of Columbus, Ga., and at the outbreak of war, became a private in the Glenville Guards, of barbour County, later Co. H., of the Fifteenth Alabama regiment, C. S. Army. He took part in the battles of second Manassas, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, and minor engagements, receiving several wounds, one of which disabled him for some time, was a participant in Stonewall Jacson's campaign in the Shenandoah Valley, and in the battles of Port Republic and Cedar Mountain. A short time after the battle of Chickamauga, he was captured with his captain and fifteen others in a night engagement not far from Chattanooga, and spent fourteen months in prison at Camp Morton, Indiana. After the war he engaged in the mercantile business at Union Springs; was one of the organizers of the Bullock County Bank, becoming vice-president and one of its managers; with two others established the State Bank of Montgomery and was elected president of the institution; held that position for five years, at the end of which time, he sold his stock to his partners and devoted his attention to his large planting and real estate interests. He was one of the first to introduce the best beek breeds of cattle into that part of the state. He organized the Commerical and Industrial Association of Montgomery, 1890, and served as president for five years; was president of the board or revenue of Mongomery for four years; and was chairman of the Democratic Executive committee of Bullock County for several years. He is author of "Two Boys in the Civil War and After," and is a Methodist, and a trustee in the church. Residence: Montgomery.

Mitchell Bennett Houghton was born in Franklin, Georgia, in 1844. The son of Col. William Hull Houghton, M. B. Houghton and his brother William Robert Houghton fought for the Confederacy in the American Civil War. They published the book Two Boys In The Civil War and After as a record of their service in the war.

M. B. Houghton enlisted in 1861, was injured twice in battle, and was captured at Lookout Mountain. He nearly died of starvation and exposure while imprisoned at Camp Morton, Indiana.3

T. M. HOUGHTON, a prominent farmer of Williamson county, is a son of' W. M. S. and Mary F. (Doney) Houghton, of Scotch-Irish descent. The paternal family came to this country before the Revolutionary war, in which the great-grandfather of our subject was a soldier. He is said to have been wounded in the side by a band of Tories, but succeeded in escaping, having hid in a thicket and staunched the wound with a silk handkerchief. He lived many years afterward. The grandfather, Lucius L., was a merchant of Sumter county, Georgia, for many years and died in Liverpool, England, while there to buy goods. W. M. S. Houghton, the father of our subject, was born in Sumter county, Georgia, February 28, 1800; was reared to manhood there; was engaged in the mercantile business in different towns in Georgia for twenty-five years; in 1846 located on a farm in Titus county, Texas, and in 1863 came to Florence, Williamson county, where he died in 1868. He was a member of the Legislature in both Georgia and Texas, and, although not a public speaker, was a good writer of articles on State questions. Mr. Houghton was not a member of any church. He was first married to a Miss Mayo, and they had two children, both now deceased. In 1840, in Dooly county, Georgia, he married Mary F. Doney. They were the parents of seven children, viz.: Theodore M., the subject of this sketch; Ann L., wife of James F. Robinson, of Williamson county; Laura A., wife of Jones Webb, of Runnels county, Texas; Pamelia H., now Mrs. J. J. Robinson, and a resident of Georgetown; Dora D., wife of William Smith, of Jones county, this State; John H., of Austin; and Fannie O., wife of William Pfaeffle, of Fort Worth, Texas. The wife and mother died in 1860, and the father afterward married Mary Standifer. They had two children.

T. M. Houghton, our subject, was born in Sumter county, Georgia, March 11, 1844. In 1862 he left school in Titus county to enlist in the late war, entering Company D., Eleventh Texas Infantry, served three years in the Trans-Mississippi Department, and took part in the battles of Mansfield, Pleasant Hill, and Jenkins' Ferry. After the close of hostilities he returned to his father's home in Williamson county, Texas, and shortly afterward located in the same neighborhood on his present farm consisting of 204 acres, with fifty acres under cultivation. He is independent in his political views, but votes principally with the Democratic party.

Mr. Houghton was married in this county, June 23, 1867, to Anna E. Rutledge, a native of Washington county, Texas, who came to Williamson county when eight years of age. She is a daughter of' Captain W. P. Rutledge, an old Texas pioneer, who commanded a company in the Mexican war. He resided in Williamson county from 1858 to his death, which occurred April 26, 1890. Mr. Rutledge was a well-read and intelligent gentleman, and was respected by all who knew him; and was a prominent fruitgrower. Mr. and Mrs. Houghton have had eight children, namely: William M., a teacher in Williamson county; Annie D., wife of J. W. Johnson, Hembrie, Crockett county, Texas; Louis E., at home; Theodore F., a teacher in this county; and Irene, Edna, Jesse T. and Freddie, at home. Mr. and Mrs. Houghton are both members of the Christian Church.
