  Governor Throckmorton - Letter from Charles Griffin - Page 1 - Texas State Library
Brevet Major General Charles Griffin of Ohio took command of the military district and Freedmen's Bureau of Texas in December 1866 and quickly became embroiled in the politics of Reconstruction.
Griffin felt that Throckmorton was uncooperative with the Reconstruction effort, especially in conferring civil rights on African Americans, and persuaded General Phil Sheridan to remove Throckmorton as governor and replace him with former governor Elisha M. Pease, a Unionist.
Griffin died September 15, 1867, in the yellow fever epidemic that was ravaging the Texas coast.

Brevet Major-Gen. Charles Griffin, U.S.A. The telegraph informs us of the death by yellow fever, in Galveston, Texas, yesterday, of Brevet Major-Gen. CHARLES GRIFFIN, who, since the removal of Gen. SHERIDAN, has been temporarily in command of the Fifth Military District.
At the close of the rebellion he was ap- pointed to the command of the District of Texas, and when, in March last, Gen. SHERIDAN was assigned the command of the Fifth Military District, under the terms of the Reconstruction Bills, he continued Gen. GRIFFIN in his command.
Since then Gen. GRIFFIN has labored earnestly and assiduously to carry out the terms of those bills in good faith, and with a rigid determina- tion to do justly and impartially by all who were in- terested in the reconstruction of the State.
