SWEET, Alexander Edwin, editor, born in St. John, New Brunswick, 28 March, 1841. His father, James, removed to San Antonio, Texas, in 1849, and was afterward mayor of that town. He also served in the Confederate army as a lieutenant-colonel. The son was sent to school in Poughkeepsie, New York, and in 1859 went to Europe and entered the Polytechnic institute, in Carlsruhe. Returning to Texas in 1863, he served in the Confederate army in the 33d Texas cavalry. After the war he studied law, was admitted to the bar, and practised in San Antonio for several years. In 1879 he became editor of the San Antonio "Express," and, still practising law, became city attorney. Afterward he was editor of the San Antonio "Herald," and a contributor of humorous paragraphs to the Galveston "News." In May, 1881, he removed to Austin, Texas, and formed there a partnership for the publication of a weekly journal entitled "Texas Siftings," which was removed to New York in 1884. With J. Amory Knox he has published "On a Mexican Mustang through Texas from the Gulf to the Rio Grande" (Hartford, 1883).
