  • War Hero Followed Family Legacy
    War Hero Followed Family Legacy It was June 24, 1898, a hot tropical day in Cuba, when a group of Indian Territory boys took part in one of the first battles of the Spanish American War. The U.S. had entered into the war in aid of Cubans who were fighting for their independence from Spain. President William McKinley had sought to create an all- volunteer cavalry unit to send to Cuba. The plan was for this unit to be filled with men from the western terri- tories – Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Indian Territory. In Muskogee, federal judge John R. Thomas, Sr. was in charge of recruiting two troops. He took an ac- tive interest in this role and under his guidance saw Troop L and Troop M embark from Muskogee to a train- ing camp in San Antonio, Texas. His own son, Lieutenant John R. Thomas, Jr., was among these troops. Once in San Antonio, the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry – its official name – quickly became know as Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders. Roosevelt had resigned his position as assistant Secretary of the Navy to serve as lieutenant colonel in this regiment. At the Battle of Las Guasimas, 500 Americans faced a force of 2,000 Spaniards. Skeptics had questioned how these famed Rough Riders would per- form under battle conditions. Also at the battle was the Tenth Calvary, an all- black unit known as the Buffalo Soldiers who had at various times served I.T. forts. The regular cavalry also had a unit present at Las Guasimas.

African American Soldiers in the Philippine War: An Examination of the Contributions of Buffalo Soldiers during the Spanish American War and Its Aftermath, 1898–1902. Doctor of Philosophy (History), August 2017, 294 pp., 8 tables, bibliography, 120 titles. During the Philippine War, 1899 – 1902, America attempted to quell an uprising from the Filipino people. Four regular army regiments of black soldiers, the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry, and the Twenty-Fourth and Twenty-Fifth Infantry served in this conflict. Alongside the regular army regiments, two volunteer regiments of black soldiers, the Forty-Eighth and Forty-Ninth, also served. During and after the war these regiments received little attention from the press, public, or even historians. These black regiments served in a variety of duties in the Philippines, primarily these regiments served on the islands of Luzon and Samar. The main role of these regiments focused on garrisoning sections of the Philippines and helping to end the insurrection. To carry out this mission, the regiments undertook a variety of duties including scouting, fighting insurgents and ladrones (bandits), creating local civil governments, and improving infrastructure.

While my party was in opposition, I had preached, with all the fervor and zeal I possessed, our duty to intervene in Cuba, and to take this opportunity of driving the Spaniard from the Western World. Now that my party had come to power, I felt it incumbent on me, by word and deed, to do all I could to secure the carrying out of the policy in which I so heartily believed; and from the beginning I had determined that, if a war came, somehow or other, I was going to the front. Meanwhile, there was any amount of work at hand in getting ready the navy, and to this I devoted myself. Naturally, when one is intensely interested in a certain cause, the tendency is to associate particularly with those who take the same view. A large number of my friends felt very differently from the way I felt, and looked upon the possibility of war with sincere horror. But I found plenty of sympathizers, especially in the navy, the army, and the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs. Commodore Dewey, Captain Evans, Captain Brownson, Captain Davis--with these and the various other naval officers on duty at Washington I used to hold long consultations, during which we went over and over, not only every question of naval administration, but specifically everything necessary to do in order to put the navy in trim to strike quick and page 2 / 223 hard if, as we believed would be the case, we went to war with Spain.

WALKER ABSTRACT The eighty-six years from 1860-1945 was a momentous one in American Indian history. During this period, the United States fully settled the western portion of the continent. As time went on, the United States ceased its wars against Indian tribes and began to deal with them as potential parts of American society. Within the military, this can be seen in the gradual change in Indian roles from mostly ad hoc forces of scouts and home guards to regular soldiers whose recruitment was as much a part of the United States’ war plans as that of any other group.

    torrent download the roughriders movie Ruff Ryders. Founded by siblings Darrin “Dee” Dean, Joaquin “Waah” Dean and Chivon Dean, Ruff Ryders arose from the gritty streets of the South Bronx in the late 1998s, starting as an artist management firm, and went on to one of hip-hop’s most iconic dynasties. With the sound mostly backed by famed producer Swizz Beatz , who is also their nephew, the independent record label was an unstoppable force on the charts at the turn of the millennium. Featured artists included DMX and The Lox, revered lyricists in their own right, and Ruff Ryders official first lady, Eve. Aside from the solo releases from affiliated artists, Ruff Ryders released the popular Ryde or Die compilation series (three volumes from 1999 to 2005). Rebranding as Ruff Ryders Indy in 2010, the multi-million dollar empire has since evolved to encompass film, lifestyle, and philanthropy. BET presents “Ruff Ryders Chronicles” is a five part docu-series that aired in August 2020 and examines the hip-hop legacy of the music label’s rise to superstardom and features interviews from many of the artists on its roster.

  • A New Teddy Roosevelt
    return to updates A New Teddy Roosevelt by Miles Mathis First published March 10, 2021 Before we get started, I wish to thank all those who have donated or sent me stuff in the past couple of weeks. It should help in my upcoming move. A lot of people keyed on the coffee suggestion, and I now have enough coffee for the next couple of years. So no more coffee please. We will have to come up with some other ideas. This paper was born from me rereading my recent paper on McKinley for typos, where I was reminded that Roosevelt used the fake assassination by leftists as an excuse for coming in and cracking down on the entire left side of American society, not only Marxists, but unionists, progressives, and normal Democrats. And remember two things: one, Roosevelt did this from the Republican party; two, he did it while being sold as a populist and protector of the little man and the middle class. He is still sold as a Progressive Republican, which is a joke. Roosevelt was extremely wealthy and privileged, and, like all Presidents, was a tool of the bankers. Roosevelt's mother was a Stewart, and so was her mother, so he was a Stewart in the maternal line. He was also an Oswald, a Carter, and a Bulloch. And yes, this links us to Lee Harvey Osward, Jimmy Carter, and Sandra Bullock. Roosevelt and all his kin are listed in the British peerage. I have warned you they are prepping us for another big crackdown on the left, though we are still in the first stages.
