Geocache Description:

Small camo bottle with log.

Garner was born near the village of Detroit in Red River County in eastern Texas and eventually studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1890, and began practice in Uvalde, Uvalde County, Texas. At that time, Democrats entirely dominated politics in Texas, and the Democratic nomination for an office was tantamount to election. Garner was opposed in the County Judge primary by a woman - Mariette Rheiner, a rancher's daughter. They married a week after meeting. They had one child, Josiah Charles Nance Garner.
Garner was elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 1898, and re-elected in 1900. In 1902, Garner was elected to the United States House of Representatives from a newly created Congressional District covering tens of thousands of square miles of rural south Texas. He was elected from the District fourteen subsequent times, serving until 1933. His wife served as his private secretary during this period. Garner's hard work and integrity made him a respected leader in the House, and he was chosen to serve as minority floor leader for the Democrats in 1929, and then as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives in 1931. In 1932, Garner ran for the Democratic Presidential nomination. It became evident that Franklin Roosevelt, the governor of New York, was the strongest of several candidates, although he did not have a majority of convention delegates. Garner cut a deal with Roosevelt, becoming his Vice-Presidential candidate. He was re-elected to the Seventy-third Congress on November 8, 1932, and on the same day was elected Vice President of the United States, making him the only man to serve as both Speaker of the House and President of the Senate on the same day (March 4, 1933). He was re-elected Vice President in 1936 and served in that office from March 4, 1933, to January 20, 1941.
Garner fervently supported the prickly pear cactus for the honor and thus earned the nickname "Cactus Jack". (The Bluebonnet was chosen.) On the morning of Garner's 95th birthday on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy called to wish the former Vice President a happy birthday, just hours before his fateful trip to Dallas. The popular Garner State Park, located 30 miles (48 km) north of Uvalde, bears his name. When it comes to commentary about the office of vice president of the United States, no statement is more repeated than John Nance Garner’s observation that “the vice presidency is not worth a bucket of warm spit.”
