Everything about Pendleton Murrah totally explained
Pendleton Murrah (
1824–
1865) was the 10th governor of
Texas. His term in office coincided with the
American Civil War.
A native of

1848. He moved to Texas and opened a law practice in
Marshall. He ran and was defeated for the

Robert E. Lee surrendered in 1865, he encouraged Texans to continue the revolution. Only when Union occupation forces were en route to Texas did Murrah flee with other Confederate leaders to Mexico. The trip was too much for his already fragile health, and in May 1865, he died in
Monterrey, Mexico of
