  • A War All Our Own: American Rangers and the Emergence of the American Martial Culture
    A War All Our Own: American Rangers and the Emergence of the American Martial Culture by James Sandy, M.A. A Dissertation In HISTORY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTORATE IN PHILOSOPHY Approved Dr. John R. Milam Chair of Committee Dr. Laura Calkins Dr. Barton Myers Dr. Aliza Wong Mark Sheridan, PhD. Dean of the Graduate School May, 2016 Copyright 2016, James Sandy Texas Tech University, James A. Sandy, May 2016 Acknowledgments This work would not have been possible without the constant encouragement and tutelage of my committee. They provided the inspiration for me to start this project, and guided me along the way as I slowly molded a very raw idea into the finished product here. Dr. Laura Calkins witnessed the birth of this project in my very first graduate class and has assisted me along every step of the way from raw idea to thesis to completed dissertation. Dr. Calkins has been and will continue to be invaluable mentor and friend throughout my career. Dr. Aliza Wong expanded my mind and horizons during a summer session course on Cultural Theory, which inspired a great deal of the theoretical framework of this work. As a co-chair of my committee, Dr. Barton Myers pushed both the project and myself further and harder than anyone else. The vast scope that this work encompasses proved to be my biggest challenge, but has come out as this works’ greatest strength and defining characteristic. I cannot thank Dr. Myers enough for pushing me out of my comfort zone, and for always providing the firmest yet most encouraging feedback.

    Buffalo Trace Story Map Sites listed as having limited access are private sites with specific areas or times that they are accessible to the public. Clark County 2) A Plan of the Rapids, in the River Ohio. Photo courtesy of Indiana Historical Society. The Falls at the Ohio River between what is now Louisville and Clarksville made a rapid descent over a series of ledges formed by Devonian rock rich in fossils. In high stages of water, the falls disappeared completely. During low water times, the whole width of the river had the appearance of a series of waterfalls with great flats of rock beds. There is now a state park in the location where the buffalo and the historic trace crossed from Kentucky into Indiana. This site is open to the public. Falls of the Ohio State Park website 3) Sketch of Fort Finney, later Fort Steuben, located on the Ohio River bank near present- day Fort Street in Jeffersonville. Photo courtesy of Indiana Historical Society, M0367. Fort Finney was constructed in 1786. Captain Walter Finney oversaw construction of a square earth and timber work with blockhouses near present-day Fort Street in Jeffersonville. The post was garrisoned by US troops until 1793 but then remained a militia station until about 1800. It was renamed Fort Steuben in 1787 after Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, Revolutionary War hero. It was a magnet for settlers, who formed a village immediately around it and were the first residents of the town of Jeffersonville. A historic marker is all that exists at this site.

  • The First Battle of the War of 1812
    ASAC_Vol105_04-Andrews_120005.qxd 9/29/12 6:46 PM Page 19 The First Battle of the War of 1812 By Stephen K. Andrews Growing up in Indiana, there was a belief that American history had side-stepped our state, that nothing of exciting historical consequence took place here. The adventures of our country’s pioneers, settlers, soldiers, and Native Americans never seemed to include Indiana. When it came to exciting historical events, we felt we had been cheated, like a jilted bride at the altar of history. No Gettysburg, no Saratoga, no Fort Dodge, no Alamo. It seemed that every other state had at least some significant historical event to celebrate their state’s rite of passage into the annals of American history, but not Indiana. We were here, we grew corn, made automobiles, and history passed us by. The local school systems did little to correct this view. Oh sure, we had Morgan’s raid during the Civil War. A few confederate raiders slipped north of the Ohio River, shot up a couple of small towns, scared the hell out of the locals, riled up the militia, and then headed back east to disrupt years after the civil war to commemorate Indiana’s partici- things in Ohio. Even though Indiana was a major contributor pation in not just the Civil War, but all the wars fought by of soldiers to the Civil War, it did not experience the conflict our state up to that time. He told me that there, in the chis- in the same way as many of the other states.

The war erupted soon after Black Hawk and a group of Sauks, Meskwakis, and Kickapoos known as the "British Band" crossed the Mississippi River into the U.S. state of Illinois in April 1832. Black Hawk's motives were ambiguous, but he was apparently hoping to avoid bloodshed while resettling on land that had been ceded to the United States in a disputed 1804 treaty. American officials, convinced that the British Band was hostile, mobilized a frontier army.
