AbstractHenry J. Meyer was born Heinrich Johann Meyer at Wardenburg in the Oldenburgerland, Germany, on February 11, 1836. He immigrated to America in 1857 and in 1861 enlisted in the Confederate Guards from Houston and Harris County. Henry's service is described in his own words, as recorded in Mamie Ann Yeary's "Reminiscences of the Boys in Gray, 1861-1865," published in 1912. This article also provides information on Henry's life after the war.
