Samuel Willis Tucker Lanham served as governor of Texas from January
20, 1903 to January 15, 1907. Born (1846) and raised in South Carolina, Lanham
was the last Confederate soldier to serve as governor of Texas. He immigrated
to Texas in 1866 with his wife, settling in Red River County, and then in
Weatherford in Parker County. Teaching school while he studied law, Lanham was
admitted to the bar in 1869. He was soon appointed district attorney for the
11th District, covering most of West Texas. His early career was marked by the
successful prosecution of the Kiowas Satanta and Big Tree. He served as U.S.
Congressman from the 11th District, 1882 to 1892 and 1896 to 1902. Twice
elected governor, in 1902 and 1904, Lanham presided over the creation of two
reform election laws, which required filing of campaign expenditures (Lanham
spent only $20 on his 1904 campaign) and provided uniform primaries for major
political parties. An important anti-trust law was passed, and two schools of
higher education opened: the College of Industrial Arts at Denton, and
Southwest Texas Normal School at San Marcos. Lanham died on July 29, 1908.
