Ivey History 533: Lost Kansas Communities Chapman Center for Rural Studies Kansas State University Dr. M. J. Morgan Fall 2015 This study examines Fort Aubrey, a Civil War-era frontier post in Syracuse Township, Hamilton County, and the men who served there. The findings are based upon government and archival documents, newspaper and magazine articles, personal reminiscences, and numerous survey works written on the subjects of the United States Army and the American frontier. Map of Kansas featuring towns, forts, trails, and landmarks. SOURCE: Kansas Historical Society. Note: This 1939 map was created by George Allen Root and later reproduced by the Kansas Turnpike Authority. The original drawing was compiled by Root and delineated by W. M. Hutchinson using information provided by the Kansas Historical Society. Introduction By the summer of 1864, Americans had been killing each other on an epic scale for three years. As the country tore itself apart in a “great civil war,” momentous battles were being waged at Mansfield, Atlanta, Cold Harbor, and a host of other locations. These killing grounds would become etched in history for their tales of bravery and sacrifice, but, in the West, there were only sporadic clashes between Federal and Confederate forces. Encounters at Valverde in New Mexico Territory, Mine Creek in Linn County, Kansas, and Sabine Pass in Texas were the exception rather than the norm.

    Microfilm Publication M617, Returns from U.S

    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

    STATEMENT OF WILLIAM D. SHADDOX, ACTING ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR FOR PARK PLANNING, FACILITIES, AND LANDS, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BEFORE THE SENATE ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES SUBCOMMITTEE ON NATIONAL PARKS CONCERNING S. 544, A BILL TO AUTHORIZE A STUDY OF ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMEMORATING AND INTERPRETING THE ROLE OF THE BUFFALO SOLDIERS IN THE EARLY YEARS OF THE NATIONAL PARKS. October 19, 2011 Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to present the Department of the Interior’s views on S. 544, to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study of alternatives for commemorating and interpreting the role of the Buffalo Soldiers in the early years of the national parks, and for other purposes. The Department supports S. 544. However, we feel that priority should be given to the 37 previously authorized studies for potential units of the National Park System, potential new National Heritage Areas, and potential additions to the National Trails System and National Wild and Scenic River System that have not yet been transmitted to Congress. S. 544 would authorize a study to determine the most effective ways to increase understanding and public awareness of the critical role that the Buffalo Soldiers, segregated units composed of African-American cavalrymen, played in the early years of the National Parks. It would evaluate the suitability and feasibility of a National Historic Trail along the routes between their post at the Presidio of San Francisco and the parks they protected, notably Yosemite and Sequoia. The study would also identify properties that could meet the criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places or designation as National Historic Landmarks.

    VOLUME TWO, NUMBER ONE APRIL 1987 LIFE ON THE TENNESSEE COUNTY FLOURISHED DURING STEAMBOAT ERA It was considered the pride of the Tennessee River Navigation Company and The Chattanooga Times announced the news in December of 1910. The‐steamboat JOHN A PATTEN, 300-ton capacity, built for freight haul with first-class passenger accommodations, had burned to the water line while docked at Bridgeport. This was the same JOHN A PATTEN which only a few years before had triumphed in what is perhaps the most famous boat‐ race in Tennessee River history. The PATTEN'S rival was a powerful tow‑ boat named the PARKER. It was a race that symbolized the old versus the new on the river. The PATTEN, a graceful, elegantly crafted vessel from the past and the PARKER, a practical snub‐ nosed towboat. The boats raced downriver from Chattanooga, with the PARKER moving ahead at Williams Island. At this point, according to historian Donald Davidson, the PARKER'S engineer, Jess Allison, stood at the door of the engine room and gestured tauntingly with a rope, offering a tow to the PATTEN. But then river lore has it, the PARKER'S engine blew, propelling Allison from the engine room and into the water, where he was plucked unceremoniously by crewmembers. The PATTEN sailed on to victory, only to be destroyed at Bridgeport by a coal‑ tar caused fire. By this time, the glory days of the great steamboats were numbered. They would continue to ply the rivers, but their era was coming to an end. ‘ Jackson County was very much a part of the steamboat days on the Tennessee.

    Historic Background Research and a Ground Penetrating Radar Survey Associated with the Greer Stadium Redevelopment Project in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee HISTORIC BACKGROUND RESEARCH AND A GROUND PENETRATING RADAR SURVEY ASSOCIATED WITH THE GREER STADIUM REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT IN NASHVILLE, DAVIDSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE by Virgil R. Beasley III, Charles Van de Kree, Ted Karpynec, Meghan Weaver, Travis Rael, Cassandra Medeiros, Elinor Crook, and Cristina I. Oliveira Prepared for: Metro Parks & Recreation. 511 Oman Street Nashville, Tennessee 37203 Prepared by: Tennessee Valley Archaeological Research 2119 Metro Circle SW Huntsville, Alabama 35801 Virgil R. Beasley III Principal Investigator January 2018 ABSTRACT Under contract with Metro Parks & Recreation, Nashville., Tennessee Valley Archaeological Research (TVAR) conducted historical background research and a ground penetrating radar (GPR) assessment of Greer Stadium in anticipation of potential development of the project area. Limited subsurface testing of the targeted areas was also conducted as a means to ground-truth the GPR data. The purpose of the investigation was to provide Metro Parks & Recreation with an assessment of the site in regard to previous disturbances and a recommendation about the potential preservation of archaeological remains in the project area. Investigations resulted in the identification of stratified archaeological deposits and intact cultural features, which likely contain human remains associated with the “contraband camps” that were part of the building of Fort Negley, a Civil War-era fortification designated as archaeological site 40DV189.The GPR survey, coupled with subsurface testing, also revealed that significant portions of the project area have been subjected to extensive land alteration and leveling. The survey indicates that the southwestern portion of the project area includes intact deposits that potentially include human remains.
