His father, John Whistler, born in Ulster, Ireland about 1756; served in the British Army under Burgoyne and was made a prisoner with him at the Battle of Saratoga, October 17, 1777. Soon after Whistler's return to England he met and fell in love with Miss Ann Bishop, daughter of Sir Edward Bishop. After their marriage they removed to America, settled at Hagerstown, Maryland and shortly afterwards John became a lieutenant adjutant in the levies of 1791. He was wounded in an Indian campaign that year; in 1792 he became an ensign in the First Infantry and on July 1, 1797, he received his captaincy. In the summer of 1803, Captain Whistler was ordered from Detroit with his company of the First Infantry to the head-waters of Lake Michigan where he built Fort Dearborn, finishing it before the end of the year.

    An Early History of Simpson County, Mississippi by Bee King

    An Early History of Simpson County, Mississippi by Bee King Compiled by Frances B. Krechel AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED TO: Mrs. L. H. Holyfield (Beulah Boggan) (Electronic version prepared by NP Computers for Mendenhall Public Library, Lu Ann Bailey Librarian) Due to her life-long (b. 1893) interest, and being a native Mississippian, Miss Beulah has gathered together many historical articles and books, and it is basically from this remarkable and vast collection that the enclosed material has been taken, her love of Mississippi history proved to be contagious. So it is with deep appreciation and a sincere “Thank You” for the special help and encouragement, that another chapter has been added to the extensive recording of the state’s heritage. Miss Beulah has also meticulously and lovingly chronicled the names and dates of her Boggan and related families and it is through this mutual family connection that the compiler became interested in the events concerning the early days. All of the stories have been selected from a series of articles written by the late Bee King, who was a well- known lawyer, historian and writer. The Simpson County News began running the series in their weekly newspaper in 1937 and continued until 1948. Mr. King’s writings are a graphic presentation of the life and times of early Simpson County. He interviewed the elderly citizens through out the area and uniquely recorded for posterity the experiences of the people in day to day living. The picture shows Mr. King in his office when he was Mayor of Mendenhall, the county seat of Simpson County.

    CATALYST FOR CHANGE IN THE BORDERLANDS: U.S. ARMY LOGISTICS DURING THE U.S.-MEXICAN WAR AND THE POSTWAR PERIOD, 1846-1860 Christopher N. Menking Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 201 9 APPROVED: Richard McCaslin, Major Professor Sandra Mendiola Garcia, Committee Member Andrew Torget, Committee Member Alexander Mendoza, Committee Member Robert Wooster, Outside Reader Jennifer Jensen Wallach, Chair of the Department of History Tamara L. Brown, Executive Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Menking, Christopher N. Catalyst for Change in the Borderlands: U.S. Army Logistics during the U.S.-Mexican War and the Postwar Period, 1846-1860. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2019, 323 pp., 3 figures, 3 appendices, bibliography, 52 primary sources, 140 secondary sources. This dissertation seeks to answer two primary questions stemming from the war between the United States and Mexico: 1) What methods did the United States Army Quartermaster Department employ during the war to achieve their goals of supporting armies in the field? 2) In executing these methods, what lasting impact did the presence of the Quartermaster Department leave on the Lower Río Grande borderland, specifically South Texas during the interwar period from 1848-1860? In order to obtain a complete understanding of what the Department did during the war, a discussion of the creation, evolution, and methodology of the Quartermaster Department lays the foundation for effective analysis of the department’s wartime methods and post-war influence. It is equally essential to understand the history of South Texas prior to the Mexican War under the successive control of Spain, Mexico and the United States and how that shaped the wartime situation.

    "To Treat with All Nations": Invoking Authority in the Chickasaw Nation, 1783–1795 Jason Herbert Ohio Valley History, Volume 18, Number 1, Spring 2018, pp. 27-44 (Article) Published by The Filson Historical Society and Cincinnati Museum Center For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/689417 [ Access provided at 26 Sep 2021 02:59 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] “To Treat with All Nations” Invoking Authority in the Chickasaw Nation, 1783–1795 Jason Herbert gulayacabé was furious in the fall of 1796. Like many Chickasaws, he was stunned to learn of the recent treaty between the United States and Spain, which now jeopardized his nation’s sovereignty. The deal, Uwhich gave the Americans navigation rights to the Mississippi River and drew a new border along the 31st parallel, was the culmination of constant jockey- ing between the empires over land and trade routes in the Southeast since the American Revolution. However, the Treaty of San Lorenzo (also called Pinckney’s Treaty) was little different from other imperial pacts in that American Indians were not invited to the table. Nevertheless, the pact meant relations in Indian country were to be amended. At a meeting at San Fernando de las Barrancas (present-day Memphis), Ugulayacabé railed against his Spanish friends. “We see that our Father not only abandons us like small animals to the claws of tigers and the jaws of wolves.” The United States’ proclamations of friendship, he contin- ued, were like “the rattlesnake that caresses the squirrel in order to devour it.”1 Of course, not everyone shared Ugulayacabé’s frustrations.

VASSAR President Kent S. Webber presided, and Virginia DAR President Virginia Sebastian Storage and Virginia C.A.R. President Chas Leiss gave remarks as well. Over 70 people were in attendance, including two descendants of St. George Tucker. The event also commemorated a restoration of the grave site, which was funded by the VASSAR Knight/Patty Memorial Trust Fund. Several bricks had come loose over the years, endangering the full-length slab and its Latin inscription. St. George Tucker was born into a prominent family on Bermuda on July 10, 1752, but came to Williamsburg, Vir- ginia, as a young man to pursue a career in the law. As the tensions between the colonies and Great Britain rose, he and his brother, Dr. Thomas Tudor Tucker of Charleston, South Carolina, separately informed patriot leaders that the - continued on page 5 Virginia Society, Sons of the American Revolution 2013-2014 Officers Kent S.

    Trading Mystery Elementary: Grades 3–4 Background Information Fur Trade During the 1800s, the fur trade was the most important business in Chicago! Beavers and other animals lived here and were caught in traps. Their fur was used to make hats and clothing. American Indians exchanged the furs at trading posts for a variety of goods including tools, weapons, blankets, cooking pots, and glass beads. The traders earned their living by working for companies that ran the trading posts and sold the furs to hat and clothing makers. The fur trade lasted more than 200 years and was organized by many different companies. The American Fur Company was the last big fur-trade company in northern Illinois. In 1833, a treaty was signed that ended all American Indian land claims in Illinois, opening the way for large numbers of white settlers to move here. As more settlers came to this region to buy and develop land, they reduced the natural habitat in which the animals lived. Animals became harder to find in this area, and the fur-trade era ended in Chicago. Fort Dearborn In 1803 Captain John Whistler arrived in Chicago to build Fort Dearborn. The United States government decided to build the fort to protect the fur trade and the land in this area. By 1808 the fort stood on a small hill on the south bank of the Chicago River. American soldiers and their families lived inside the fort. Near the fort there were homes and businesses including the fur trade of John Kinzie. During the War of 1812, Fort Dearborn was burned to the ground.
