Service Honest and Faithful: The Thirty-Third Volunteer Infantry Regiment in the Philippine War, 1899-1901. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2017, 269 pp., bibliography, 72 primary resources, 97 secondary resources. This manuscript is a study of the Thirty-Third Infantry, United States Volunteers, a regiment that was recruited in Texas, the South, and the Midwest and was trained by officers experienced from the Indian Wars and the Spanish-American War. This regiment served as a front-line infantry unit and then as a constabulary force during the Philippine War from 1899 until 1901. While famous in the United States as a highly effective infantry regiment during the Philippine War, the unit's fame and the lessons that it offered American war planners faded in time and were overlooked in favor of conventional fighting. In addition, the experiences of the men of the regiment belie the argument that the Philippine War was a brutal and racist imperial conflict akin to later interventions such as the Vietnam War.

  • Key Vaca, Part I
    Key Vaca, Part 1 By FLORENCE S. BRIGHAM The "New Era" in the life of Key Vaca, an island about two-thirds of the distance along Route U. S. 1 from the Florida mainland to Key West, has often been described as "spectacular", "incredible", "phenomenal", and "meteoric". It is said there is no equal anywhere in the world to Key Vaca's rapid development. For the past ten years various kinds of construction have gone on at such a steady and rapid rate that upon inquiring of Mr. John W. Greenleaf, Jr., civil engineer, of the results of his study of the Keys made in 1952-1953, he cautioned, "You must remember that was back in 1953!" The 1940 census showed the population of the Keys to be no greater than it had been in 1885 and only two-thirds as great as it had been in 1910. The entire area was without potable water except rainfall and that was stored in cisterns. When the aqueduct began operating in 1942 the country was at war. Travel was severely restricted. Building of new homes and over-night lodges was forbidden, construction materials being reserved for military purposes. To determine the present and the future need of water supply of the Florida Keys, Mr. Greenleaf considered such factors as: the opening in 1938 of the Overseas Highway; the aqueduct operating in 1942; World War II ending in 1945; statistics of school enrollment and of gasoline, electricity, and water consumption, toll highway traffic, population, meter installation, building permits, and the forecasts by the telephone company, the electric company, and the Chamber of Commerce.

  • The United States Army General Staff Corps, 1910-1917: Its Relationship to the Field Forces
    RICE UNIVERSITY The United States Army General Staff Corps, 1910-1917: Its Relationship to the Field Forces by John A. Hixson A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Thesis Director's Signature: May 1971 ABSTRACT The United States Army General Staff Corps, 1910-1917: Its Relationship to the Field Forces John Arthur Hixson In the period prior to the passage of the General Staff Act in 1903, congressional debate focused primarily upon the relationship the General Staff would have to the other bureaus of the War Department. An issue of equal importance, but one which received much less attention, was the relationship the General Staff would have to field commanders in time of war. The General Staff by legislative act was to be only the plan¬ ning, supervising and coordinating agency for the Army. In 1910, after a rather aimless first seven years, General Leonard Wood became the Chief of Staff. Both visionary and reactionary, Wood laumched programs for reorganizing the General Staff, the Mobile Army and for establishing the suprem¬ acy of the General Staff. The continuous turmoil in the border area between the United States and Mexico provided the opportunity for Wood to test the General Staff1s war plans and a "Maneuver Division" in 1911 and a new tactical division in 1913. The General Staff's role in the conduct of field operations began with the precedent established by the Army of Cuban Pacification in 1906. The operations at Vera Cruz in 1914 were conducted under rigid General Staff control.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, ihe quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or not .jns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “ target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adiace't pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has b en followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
