This week, we looked over the catalog of items in the John Lapham Bullis San Antonio exhibition, May 25-30, 2011. Here's a partial list of those exhibits.
From the Collections of the Fort Sam Houston Museum, items that belonged to General Bullis:
- Roll top desk, oak, made by Standard Furniture Company, Herkimer, New York, ca 1900
- Hammond Typewriter, Model 12, New York ca 1905
- Chest, Records, Olive Drab, Wood, ca 1890s. "Standard Adjutant General wooden records chest used by Paymaster Bullis in Cuba and the Philippines 1901-1902."
Other items from the collections of the Fort Sam Houston Museum:

From the White Museum:
- Gold Presentation Sword and Scabbard, made by Bent & Bush, Boston, 1881 "Presented by the people of Western Texas, for protecting their homes."
- Silver Presentation Sword and Scabbard, made by Gaylord Manufacturing Company, Chicopee, MA, 1881. "Presented by the people of Kinney County, Texas as a token of their undying gratitude."
- Saddle, Pattern of 1885 McClellan, Cavalry, ca 1890. "Bullis would have used this saddle while serving as a Captain until his retirement."
Those of you interested in Bullis family history will want to include a stop in San Antonio in future travel plans. You won't be disappointed.
