Diane Barnes, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. David Simonelli, Committee Member Date Dr. Helene Sinnreich, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT Filipino culture was founded through the amalgamation of many ethnic and cultural influences, such as centuries of Spanish colonization and the immigration of surrounding Asiatic groups as well as the long nineteenth century’s Race of Nations. However, the events of 1898 to 1914 brought a sense of national unity throughout the seven thousand islands that made the Philippine archipelago. The Philippine-American War followed by United States occupation, with the massive domestic support on the ideals of Manifest Destiny, introduced the notion of distinct racial ethnicities and cemented the birth of one national Philippine identity. The exploration on the Philippine American War and United States occupation resulted in distinguishing the three different analyses of identity each influenced by events from 1898 to 1914: 1) The identity of Filipinos through the eyes of U.S., an orientalist study of the “us” versus “them” heavily influenced by U.S.

Doty III, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Dr. John F. Guilmartin, Advisor Dr. Nathan Rosenstein Dr. Stephanie J.

Doty III 2010 Disclaimer The views expressed in this work are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the United States Army, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. Abstract The United States Army, like its counterparts in Europe, especially the United Kingdom, struggled to achieve recognition as a profession during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Army developed educational institutions, improved standards of conduct, and further developed specialized knowledge in areas such as intelligence. US army officers and military officials sponsored these changes knowing and sometimes adapting from similar developments in other armies. When the First World War started in 1914, the American army was close to par with the British army in its development of intelligence as a specialized field and body of military knowledge. By 1917, Britain and the other belligerents had tremendously advanced their intelligence practices as part of the broader development of warfighting techniques through three years of warfare.

Little -attention is given to the subject's personal life with the-exception of the-introduction and certain anecdotes in the -subsequent chapters which the author-considers relevant to the ·central theme. The emphasis is -on Funston's conduct as an army officer. Funston was a popular .figure, especially among westerners; perhaps his unorthodox and exciting feats were in th<;, true frontier spirit. Yet, at this time, the United States was experiencing a transition from an isolationist, provincial nation to a world power with far-flung commit­ ments and obligations.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the Him is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the Him inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been Hlmed, you will Hnd a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a deHnite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin Hlming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the Hrst row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Pershing, John Joseph (13 Sept. 1860-15 July 1948), Commander of The
    Pershing, John Joseph (13 Sept. 1860-15 July 1948), commander of the American Expeditionary Force in World War I, was born at Laclede, Missouri, the son of John Frederick Pershing, a storekeeper and railroad worker, and Anne Elizabeth Thompson. After attending the Missouri State Normal School in Kirksville, Pershing became a schoolteacher, but a newspaper notice enticed him to apply for admission to the U.S. Military Academy, which he entered in 1882. Pershing struggled with the first year's curriculum, but he ranked high in "military art" from the start. In his last year he was selected first captain of the Corps of Cadets--an honor reserved to the one most respected by both faculty and peers. High standing overall (thirtieth of seventy- seven in the graduating class of 1886) won him assignment to the cavalry, and he joined the Sixth Regiment in New Mexico. Pershing's regiment helped assemble scattered tribes, established heliograph stations between frontier forts, made maps, and played chasing games (cavalry maneuvers) across stretches of desert. Appointment as professor of military science and tactics at the University of Nebraska took Pershing in September 1891 to Lincoln where he also taught math, pursued a law degree, and won national drill team honors. Among his students were Willa Cather and Dorothy Canfield (Dorothy Canfield Fisher), and his circle of friends included Roscoe Pound, Charles Dawes, and William Jennings Bryan. Four successful years in Lincoln polished Pershing's manners and opened his mind. Reluctant to leave, he rejoined the cavalry. Hard campaigning and the roughness of the frontier made Pershing a tough and seasoned soldier.

Wells PhD., University of Kansas, 2019 M.A., University of Tulsa, 2007 B.A., University of Tulsa, 2005 Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Dr. Sheyda Jahanbani Dr. Robert Schwaller Dr. Sara Gregg Dr. Nicholas Syrett Dr. Laura Mielke Date Defended: 14 May 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Scholar Wells certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Imperial Entrepreneur: Masculinity, Race, and the Memory of Frederick Funston Co-Chair: Dr. Sheyda Jahanbani Co-Chair: Dr. Robert Schwaller Date Approved: 14 May 2019 iii Abstract This work examines Major General Frederick Funston’s life and subsequent memory. It seeks to answer two questions: first, how and why individuals/media makers constructed various identities of Funston during his life? Secondly, this work seeks to answer how and why individuals harnessed these identities after Funston’s death to support various causes? I argue that Frederick Funston became part of a larger narrative about imperialism, and that the conflict between imperialists and anti-imperialists formed the basis for two competing memories of Funston over the next century. Funston started his career as an explorer and used the local newspapers to gain acceptance for his chosen profession. Funston became an entrepreneur of imperialism. He promoted the idea of expansionism and with it he sold himself and his story. His early writings reflect the use of racial and gendered language to pit the “civilized” against the “savage.” Funston used the language of white civilized manhood to demonstrate his superiority over “other” non-white groups.
