  • United States Army Scouts: the Southwestern
    3-/71 UNITED STATES ARMY SCOUTS: THE SOUTHWESTERN EXPERIENCE, 1866-1890 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Carol Conley Nance, B. A. Denton, Texas May, 1975 Nance, Carol Conley, United States Army Scouts: The Southwestern Experience, 1866-1890. Master of Arts (History), May, 1975, 156 pp., 4 maps, bibliography, 107 titles. In the post-Civil War Southwest, the United States Army utilized civilians and Indians as scouts. As the mainstay of the reconnaissance force, enlisted Indians excelled as trackers, guides, and fighters. General George Crook became the foremost advocate of this service. A little-known aspect of the era was the international controversy created by the activities of native trackers under the 1882 recipro- cal hot pursuit agreement between Mexico and the United States. Providing valuable information on Army scouts are numerous government records which include the Annual Report of the Secretary of War from 1866 to 1896 and Foreign Relations of the United States for 1883 and 1886. Memoirs, biographies, and articles in regional and national histori- cal journals supplement government documents. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF MAPS . iv Chapter I.

  • Notes and Documents the Texas Frontier in 1850: Dr. Ebenezer Swift
    Notes and Documents The Texas Frontier in 1850: Dr. Ebenezer Swift and the View From Fort Martin Scott by: CALEB COKER AND JANET G. HUMPHREY The Texas Frontier in 1850 was guarded by a line of army forts ranging from Fort Worth to Fort Duncan near Eagle Pass. With the end of the Mexican War, settlers had begun pushing toward the Texas interior, and troops became available to furnish new towns some measure of protection from raiding bands of Indians. 1 Fort Martin bScott, established between the towns of Fredericksburg and Zodiac in December 1848, was one such military post. The letter reproduced here, from the fort's physician, provides a marvelous glimpse of frontier Texas in 1850. It includes candid descriptions of a farm in Austin, life at the fort, and relationships with the local Indians. Native Americans living in the vicinity of Fort Martin Scott belonged to a number of tribes. The least predictable and most feared, however, were the Comanches. White settlements disrupted their wide-ranging lifestyle and threatened the abundant supply of game. In the mid-1840s their primary tactic was to attack settlers in small raiding parties and then vanish, often taking with them horses and other livestock. These hit-and-run assaults terrorized those on the frontier for decades.2 The Society for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas had purchased 10,000 acres of forested land just north of the Pedernales River on Barron's Creek in December 1845. By the following May, settlers began arriving from New Braunfels at the town site named Fredericksburg.

Perhaps nowhere was the struggle more complex than in Texas. Some Texans supported the Union, but were concerned about political attacks on Southern institutions. Texas had been part of the United States just 15 years when secessionists prevailed in a statewide election. Texas formally seceded on March 2, 1861 to become the seventh state in the new Confederacy. Gov. Sam Houston was against secession, and strug- gled with loyalties to both his nation and his adopted state. His firm belief in the Union cost him his office when he refused to take an oath of allegianceMarch to the new government.

Bruce Jackson, The Story Is True I. In our screen-enthralled world with entertainment at a click, how easy it is to underestimate the transcendent power of an oral historian such as Miss Charles Emily Wilson of Brackettville, Texas. Picture her as she appears in Jeff Guinn's Our Land Before We Die: The Proud Story of the Seminole Negro: an elderly lady on her garden-chair throne on her float in Brackettville's Seminole Days parade. It is the year 2000. Her face bright below the shadow of her broad-brimmed hat, she wears a double-strand of pearls, a flowered skirt. A big purse balances on her knees. Two children, perhaps first graders, sit each in their 2 folding-chair on either side of her.1 Even today, after books and articles by anthropologists, historians, and journalists, and after TV reports, documentaries, YouTube videos, websites, and swirls of social media posts have appeared about the history that she preserved by telling the stories of her ancestors again and again, decade after decade, to students, to anyone interested, not many people in Texas, never mind beyond Texas, have heard of her people, never mind of her.

Doctor of Philosophy (History), May, 1995, 284 pp., 14 figures, reference list, 116 titles. This dissertation describes the various military outposts on the Texas frontier between 1866 and 1886. It is arranged geographically, with each chapter covering a major fort or geographical area and the smaller posts associated with it. Official military records and government reports serve as the primary sources of data. In 1866 when the United States Army returned to the defense of Texas after four years of civil war, the state's frontier lay open to depredations from several Indian tribes and from lawless elements in Mexico. The army responded to those attacks by establishing several lines of major forts to protect the various danger areas of the frontier.

  • A Missionary Church in a Frontier Society
    A MISSIONARY CHURCH IN A FRONTIER SOCIETY by Tom Lee A Publication of The Historical Commission of the Diocese of West Texas FOREWORD The story of the Episcopal Church in America, and more especially the church in Western Texas, is a fascinating narrative with all the characters and events that would make a good Hollywood film. America really was a place where immigrants came in order to practice their faith in a way they desired, and Western Texas really did have Indians, Indian raids, cavalrymen and Texas Rangers chasing Indians and bandits deep into Mexico. There really were dusty little villages that grew up around military forts that sported saloons, gambling houses, and ladies of the evening. Itinerant preachers, and circuit riders did exist, and bishops traveling to far-flung reaches of the state really did travel by stagecoach, steamship, wagon, buggy and later rail car. But to understand this story one must start at the beginning, and so, that is where we start. 2 THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN AMERICA The story of the Episcopal church in America is deeply rooted in the story of English colonization in the new world. From the time the first English explorers read a service of Morning Prayer from The Book of Common Prayer on American soil, the English presence in the New World sought only to replicate the expression of Christianity it had inherited from the mother country. The Anglican Church grew steadily in the Colonies, and in 1671 Virginia recorded 48 Anglican parishes, which number had increased to 107 by the time of the American Revolution.

  • The Frontier” by Roy Betzer, 1978
    Excerpts from “The Frontier” by Roy Betzer, 1978 Early U.S. Military Presence in Texas Fort Martin Scott The purpose of the frontier post was to push forward the line of military protection, allowing the establishment of new communities, farms, ranches, mines, etc. To accomplish these goals, both mounted and non-mounted soldiers would, if at all possible, garrison frontier posts. The soldiers at these posts were to patrol and maintain the security of the area. Once an area was secure and communities established, the smaller posts and camps would be decommissioned and the military line would be pushed further out onto the frontier. Usually this resulted in an increase in white settlers, which in turn resulted in increased Indian raids followed by a period of increased troop movements to the new frontier posts. A viscous cycle condoned in the 18305 by the executive branch of the Government of the United States of America in opposition to a ruling of the judicial branch. This constant movement of the line of military posts was a constant reminder to the Native American Indian that their world was being squeezed into an ever smaller and more restricted space. After the War of 1812, the U.S. Army had rid itself of mounted troops saying they were too costly to maintain. Then in the early 1830s, with the prosecution of the Seminole Campaigns, the Army found they needed mounted troops and they raised, with the approval of Congress and the Commander in Chief Andrew Jackson, a regiment of dragoons, and within a few more years a second regiment of dragoons.
