| | Hamilton Stuart and Benjamin Chambers Stuart: A century of distinguished East Texas Journalism and History |
 | | Stuart's admiration for Galveston's old "sea dogs" who ran Confederate cotton through the blockade resulted in many more stories in the News, namely, "Blockade Running Stories," May 13, 1900; "Exciting Sea Scenes," December 30, 1906; "Stories of The Sea," December 1, 1907; and "Some True Stories of The Blockade," July 11, 1911. |
 | | Stuart was a conservative editorialist, an unwavering supporter of (President, Senator or Governor) Sam Houston, and an ardent opponent of secession, the 'Know Nothing' Party, and the "grandiose schemes of the filibusterers," the Knights of the Golden Circle. |
 | | Hamilton Stuart was born nine miles south of Louisville on September 4, 1813, but grew to adulthood in Georgetown, Kentucky, where he was educated and soon became proficient in all branches of the printer's trade. |
