#5 The bomber couldn't have picked a worse subject. Lt. Dowling legally immigrated from Ireland as a child, moved to Houston, married well and started opening saloons. There is no record of Dowling ever owning slaves, he simply had a natural talent with artillery--ship borne and on land. He and his 48 men prevented a Union invasion up the Sabine River by a force of 5000 men and gunboats. He passed during a Houston yellow fever epidemic in 1867 at approximately 30 years of age.
