  • A Hundred Years of Uniforms Fit for Fifty (The 50 Miler, That Is) Tracking Animals
    Vol. 1, No. 8 In this Issue: A Hundred Years of Uniforms Fit for Fifty (The 50 Miler, that is) Tracking Animals A Hundred Years of Uniforms Question: What's tough enough for the outdoors, special enough to stand out in a crowd, and worthy of a hundred years of respect? Answer: The uniform of the Boy Scouts of America. Uniforms have been an emblem of Scouting since the founding of the Boy Scouts of America in 1910. The BSA has grown a great deal since then. The uniform has also evolved to provide Scouts with clothing ideal for its time. The first Scout uniforms included brown jackets with metal buttons, large outside pockets, and high collars. They were worn with breeches-pants flared at the thighs and tight at the knees-and canvas leggings to shield the calves of hikers, or long socks turned down at the knee. Early uniforms also featured a broad-brimmed campaign hat with a badge of rank pinned to the crown. Robert Baden-Powell, Scouting's founder, had worn a similar hat in the field to protect himself from sun and rain. It was a natural choice for Boy Scouts, too. Within a few years the coats were gone and the high collars of BSA uniforms had been replaced by neckerchiefs. Shorts were approved as an option, with knee socks instead of leggings. In the 1940s Scouts were ready for khaki green uniform shirts, trousers, and shorts made of sturdy cotton. Campaign hats gave way to caps similar to those worn by many Americans serving in the military during World War II.

  • The Doughboy Formation of a Military Folk
    the doughboy formation of a military folk robert sandels The contribution of the American soldier to the pageant of American folklore is as lasting as that of the cowboy or the logger. The ' 'master workman" became the chief folk subject of the era of capitalist expansion in the years after I860.1 Although he seldom received attention from folklorists, the soldier is a comparable figure in the nation's drive for global power. There are a few heroes of expansion such as The Rough Rider, Theodore Roosevelt, but he never became legendary like Mike Fink or John Henry. A folklore of the common soldier, however, does exist and provides a rich body of documentation for the social historian. In recent years scholars have shown interest in the effect of the military on civilian society. Perhaps the most important conduit for military influence is the ex-soldier. When James Donovan wrote his study of militarism in 1970, he found that 45 percent of the adult males in the United States were veterans.2 Not many men fell trees for a living anymore, stoke blast furnaces or drive railroad spikes with their hammers, but since 1917 more men have been exposed to the occupation of soldiering than almost any other. Modern American society had, without noticing, undergone a massive shift to direct experience with military life as great as the simultaneous shift from rural to urban life. Central to the formation of a folk is the individual's longing for group acceptance. Few people felt this need more urgently than did the trench soldier of World War I.

Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology, number 30, 109 pages, 63 fig­ ures, 1975.—This volume brings the story of the evolution of headgear in the United States Regular Army from just prior to the Civil War to the opening of the modern era. Strongly influenced by French, British, and German styles, the U.S. Army tried and found wanting in numerous ways a number of models, and it was not until the adoption of the "drab" campaign hat in the early 1880s that a truly American pattern evolved. The European influence carried on until the 1902 uniform change, and, in the case of the "overseas" cap and chapeau, even beyond. OFFICIAL PUBLICATION DATE is handstamped in a limited number of initial copies and is re­ corded in the Institution's annual report, Smithsonian Year. SI PRESS NUMBER 5226.

  • March 2014 President Eisenhower Signed Proclaiming November 11 As Veterans Day
    In 1921, an unknown World War I American soldier was buried in Arlington National Cemetery. This site, on a hillside overlooking the Potomac River and the city of Washington, D.C., became the focal point of reverence for America’s veterans. Similar ceremonies occurred earlier in England and France, where an unknown soldier was buried in each nation’s highest place of honor (in England, Westminster Abbey; in France, the Arc de Triomphe). These memorial gestures all took place on November 11, giving universal recognition to the celebrated ending of World War I fighting at 11 a.m., November 11, 1918 (the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month). The day became known as “Armistice Day.” The first celebration using the term Veterans Day occurred in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1947. Raymond Weeks, a World War II veteran, organized “National Veterans Day,” which included a parade and other festivities, to honor all veterans. The event was held on November 11, December 2013 - then designated Armistice Day. Later, U.S. Representative Edward Rees of Kansas proposed a bill that would change Armistice Day to Veterans Day. In 1954, Congress passed the bill that March 2014 President Eisenhower signed proclaiming November 11 as Veterans Day. The focal point for official, national ceremonies for Veterans Day continues to be the memorial amphitheater built around the Tomb of the Unknowns. At 11 a.m. on November 11, a combined color guard representing all military services executes “Present Arms” at the tomb. The nation’s tribute to its war dead is symbolized by the laying of a presidential wreath.
