Milton Nance (September 18, 1913 – January 17, 1997), was an American historian who specialized in the study of his native Texas. He was affiliated with Texas A&M University in College Station from 1941 until his retirement in 1979. He was his department chairman from 1958-1973.[1] BackgroundNance was born in Kyle in Hays County south of Austin, Texas, to Jeremiah Milton "Jerry" Nance, Jr. (1884–1966), and the former Mary Louise Hutchison (1890–1967). Jerry and Mary Nance married in 1912 and had eight children born between 1913 and 1930, with Milton Nance being the oldest of the offspring. Jerry and Mary Nance are interred at Kyle Cemetery.[2] On March 19, 1944, Nance married the former Eleanor Glenn Hanover. He had three sons, Jeremiah Milton Nance (born about 1948) and Joseph Hanover Nance (born about 1952), both of Bryan, Texas, and James Clifton "Jim" Nance. Milton and Eleanor Nance resided in College Station.[1] Nance studied at the University of Texas at Austin from which he received his Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, and Ph.D degrees in history in 1935, 1936, and 1941, respectively.[1] He moved to College Station to teach at TAMU, when the institution was all-male and military-motivated, particularly during World War II. He was a visiting professor for a year at Texas State University in San Marcos. Nance was active in the National Geographic Society and the Texas State, West Texas, the East Texas, the Southern, and the American historical associations. He authored nine books on Texas history. In 1962, he published The Early History of Bryan and the Surrounding Area, which focuses on Bryan and College Station, Texas.[1] In 1969, he published Some Reflections Upon Modern America. In retirement, Nance was active from 1983-1996 in the publication of the Texas State Historical Association's New Handbook of Texas, much of which is now available on line.[3] Major scholarly publications
Nance's papers, both family and professional from 1875–1994, have been deposited at the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas, established through the philanthropy of former Governor Dolph Briscoe. The material includes lectures, research notes, and maps.[3] References1. ^1 2 3 Joseph Milton Nance, Who's Who in America, 40th ed., 1978-1979, p. 2364 {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Nance, J.
