Also included are papers and other records related to the Mexican Punitive Expedition of 1916. Frank Tompkins’ time at Norwich University is documented in correspondence and photographs. The collection also contains papers of Frank Tompkins’ father, Charles H. Tompkins, son, Frank P. Tompkins, and composition books of his wife, Alice Barr Tompkins. The papers of Charles H. Tompkins pertain to his Civil War service. The content listing contains a more detailed description of the collection. About Frank Tompkins Frank Tompkins (1868-1954) was born in Washington, DC, the son of Charles H. Tompkins (1830-1915). His thirty-two years of service with the U.S. Army included stations in Cuba, the Philippines, Mexico and France. He became well-known for his pursuit of Mexican revolutionary, Francisco Villa during the Mexican border skirmishes of 1916. During World War I, Tompkins commanded Boston’s famous 301st Infantry. Colonel Tompkins was associated with Norwich University for nearly fifty years, through three tours of duty as professor of military science and tactics and as commandant between 1910 and 1923. Largely through the efforts of Tompkins, Norwich received the Moses Taylor riding hall (later became the Taylor hockey arena), the cavalry stables, Sabine field and, because of his connection with Rush Hawkins, a contribution from General Hawkins of $400,000.00.

WORK Bachelor of Arts Chapman University Orange, California 199,5 Bachelor of Fine Arts Chapman University Orange, California 1995 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1998 THE FIGHTING TENTH CAVALRY: BLACK SOLDIERS IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY 1892-1918 Thesis Approved: 11 PREFACE On August 4, 1891, Colonel 1. K. Mizner, the commanding officer of the Tenth United States Cavalry Regiment, asked the Adjutant General of the army to transfer the Tenth Cavalry from Arizona "to a northern climate." For over twenty years, the Colonel complained, the Tenth had served in the Southwest, performing the most difficult field service of any regiment in the army and living in the worst forts in the country. No other cavalry regiment had "been subject to so great an amount of hard, fatigueing and continueing [sic]" service as the Tenth, service that entitled it "to as good stations as can be assigned. II Mizner challenged the Adjutant General to make his decision based on "just consideration" and not to discriminate against the Tenth "on account of the color of the enlisted men." t As one of fOUf regiments in the post-Civil War Army composed entirely of black enlisted men, discrimination was a problem the Tenth Cavalry constantly faced. Whether it was poor horses and equipment, inferior posts and assignments, or the hostility of the white communities the regiment protected, racial prejudice was an inescapable part of the regiment's daily life.

  • In Pursuit of Pancho Villa 1916-1917
    In Pursuit of Pancho Villa 1916-1917 By Joe Griffith In Pursuit of Pancho Villa 1916-1917 Doroteo Arango, alias Francisco “Pancho” Villa, was born in 1877 (1879 according to some sources) in San Juan del Rio, State of Durango, Mexico. During his lifetime, he was a ruthless killer (killing his first man at age sixteen), a notorious bandit (including cattle rustling and bank robbery), a revolutionary (a general commanding a division in the resistance against the 1913-14 Victoriano Huerta dictatorship), and despite his bloodthirsty nature, an enduring hero to the poor people of Mexico. In their minds, Villa was afraid of no one, not the Mexican government or the gringos from the United States. He was their one true friend and avenger for decades of Yankee oppression.1 In late 1915 Pancho Villa had counted on American support to obtain the presidency of Mexico. Instead the U.S. Government recognized the new government of Venustiano Carranza. An irate Villa swore revenge against the United States.and began by murdering Americans in hopes of provoking President Woodrow Wilson’s intervention into Mexico. Villa believed that American interevention would discredit the Carranza government with the people of Mexico and reaffirm his own popularity. Villa and his “pistoleros” launched raids along the U.S.- Mexico boundary to frighten the Americans living in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona border towns. Concerned for the safety of Americans, President Wilson ordered the War Department to begin deploying troops to Texas and New Mexico. In April, 1915, Brigadier General John J. Pershing and his 8th Infantry Brigade were sent to Fort Bliss, Texas with the mission of guarding the U.S.- Mexico border from Arizona to a bleak outpost in the Sierra Blanca mountains ninety miles southeast of El Paso.

Pershing Report Punitive Expedition Report, the report of Major General John J. Pershing, commander of the expedition into Mexico to "capture Villa and his bandits." Also referred to as the "Pancho Villa Expedition" or the "Mexican Expedition." It was launched against the Mexican insurgent Francisco "Pancho" Villa in retaliation for Villa's attack on Columbus, New Mexico during the Mexican Revolution. The expedition took place from March 14, 1916 to February 7, 1917. The Expedition ended without the capture of Pancho Villa. The report is made up of a series of smaller sections submitted to the commanding general of the Southern Department at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. It is broken into two general sections. The first is organization and operations and the second deals with the administration of general staff in the field. The Punitive Expedition led by Brigadier General John J. Pershing in Mexico is one of the more obscure campaigns conducted by the United States Army.

  • Pancho Villa and the Attack on Columbus, New Mexico
    Pancho Villa and the Attack on Columbus, New Mexico FRIEDRICH KATZ ON MARCH 9, I9I6, A MEXICAN RAIDING FORCE of five hundred men attacked the town of Columbus, New Mexico, to cries of "Viva Villa" and "Viva Mekxico." According to all available evidence, the leader of the attack was the Mexican revolutionary general Francisco "Pancho" Villa. The raiders were repulsed by units of the i3th U.S. Cavalry, garrisoned in Columbus, after a six-hour battle. More than one hundred Mexicans and seventeen Americans died in the fighting. The United States response to the attack came quickly. Within one week a punitive expedition, initially composed of four thousand eight hundred men (later increased to ten thousand men) commanded by General John J. Pershing, invaded the Mexican state of Chihuahua under orders from President Woodrow Wilson to capture the leader and instigator of the Columbus raid, Pancho Villa. The Pershing expedition proved to be both a political and a military disaster. In political terms, it brought the United States to the brink of war with Mexico and antagonized large segments of the Mexican public. In military terms, it failed completely in its attempt to capture Villa. On February 5, 1917, the punitive expedition withdrew into the United States, having failed even to catch sight of its elusive prey.' U.S. military intervention in Latin America has been all too common; the Villa raid on Columbus is the one instance of Latin American military intervention in the United States. Perhaps for that reason, it has been the subject of widespread speculation and controversy.
