George
W. Littlefield (1842-1920) came to Texas
with his family in 1850. He served in the Civil War with Terry’s
Texas Rangers, attaining the rank of major. Following the war
he became a cattleman and acquired ranches in New Mexico and the Texas
Panhandle. He came to Austin in 1883
and engaged in banking. A regent of the University of Texas, 1911-1920,
he contributed funds for new buildings, study grants and library collections.
