Biographical History

Reading Wood Black (1830-1867) of Uvalde, Texas, was alandowner and merchant at the head of the Leon River, a commissioner to the Comanche and Kickapoo Indians, and a member of the Texas Legislature (1866). His opposition to treatment of German settlers by Confederate soldiers caused him to flee as a refugee to Mexico during the Civil War. Tom Wall killed Black, who had aroused local resentment by his Unionism and attempts to found a Loyal Union League in Uvalde.
