Kelsey Harris Douglass (1790 – 4 October 1840[1]) was a Texian soldier, politician, and merchant who led Texian forces at the Battle of the Neches.[2] He was born in Knox County, Tennessee in 1790,[3] and died in 1840. A member of the Congress of the Republic of Texas, he campaigned for veterans of the Texas–Indian wars[4] and introduced the 1838 legislation that would later create the University of Texas. A descendant would describe him as "Texas' unknown soldier".[5]
He fought against the Cherokee, leading the fight at the Battle of the Neches and burning a number of villages[6] and forcing them out of East Texas.[5][4]
Douglass was a charter member of the Grand Lodge of Texas.[4]
The town of Douglass is named after him,[2] after he set up businesses in the area.
