INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations 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 adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner 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. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy.

The nation expanded its western boundary to the P acific Ocean and established its dominion over the North American con­ tinent from Canada on the north to Mexico on the south. Large numbers o f American s e ttle rs moved into the Mississippi River v a lle y , Texas, the Great Basin region, and P acific coastal areas. Throughout th is period, the army and Jefferson Barracks were called upon to render vital services in protecting the new American settlements and maintaining peaceful relations with the Indians, as well as providing "touches of c iv iliz a tio n " th at were otherwise absent. This study demonstrated that Jefferson Barracks was a typical army post of the pre-Civil War period. The daily activities of the post garrison were routine in nature, with the soldiers devoting most of their time to d rill and fatigue duties. The long hours of monotonous garrison duty contributed to alcohol abuse and desertion, and these were chronic problems at Jefferson Barracks as a t other m ilita ry in s ta lla ­ tions. This study supports the thesis of Professor Francis Paul Prucha in Broadax and Bayonet th at the army was an agent of American " c i v il i ­ zation" on the fro n tie r . Soldiers stationed at or mustered into service and equipped and trained at Jefferson Barracks acted as a peace-keeping force for the Mississippi River valley. They took part in military operations against the Indians in Florida and on the Western Plains, the Mormons in Utah, and the Mexicans. i i i Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. In addition to its role as a recruiting and training center, Jefferson Barracks served as the base for a military reserve force for the entire western frontier. Jefferson Barracks' strategic location on the Mississippi, a short distance below the mouth of the Missouri River, enabled the War Department rapidly to transfer men and supplies from the post for service at military installations or in the field throughout the trans-M ississippi West. No matter how large or how small its garrison might be at any p a rtic u la r tim e, the War Department viewed Jefferson Barracks as one of its most important military installations in the period from its establishment to the Civil War. In addition to having a key position in the western defense system, Jefferson Barracks also played an important role in the economic develop­ ment of St. Louis. The Barracks offered a place of employment for numerous St. Louisians, and many farmers in the area around the post were dependent upon quartermaster and commissary department contracts for their survival. Although soldiers from the post sometimes created disturbances in St. Louis, the city's residents viewed the Barracks as a major asset to the city and surrounding region.

  • William Croghan, Sr
    WILLIAM CROGHAN, SR. [1752-1822]: A PIONEER KENTUCKY GENTLEMAN BY SAMUEL W. THOMAS, PH.D. Louisville, Kentucky By 1790, William Croghan was prepared to build his country seat. He was a veteran of the Revolutionary War, an accomplished surveyor, a rising entrepreneur, and within the year would become a father. The home he constructed a few miles northeast of Louisville, Kentucky, now on Blankenbaker Lane, withstood the test of time and in 1961 was purchased by the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the County of Jefferson. It has been restored by Jefferson County and Historic Homes Foundation, Inc. of Louisville to preserve and demonstrate a way of life led by a prominent pioneer Kentucky family and to serve as a fitting memorial to the home's most illustrious occupant, George Rogers Clark [1752-1818].1 William Croghan married General Clark's sister, Lucy Clark [1765-1838] in 1789 and the retired western military leader came to live permanently at the Croghan home, Locust Grove, in 1809. This paper is the result of the research program undertaken for the restoration of Locust Grove. The author wishes to thank Historic Homes Foundation, Inc. for its most generous support of the project. The land for Major Croghan's country seat was purchased on April 10, 1790, from a fellow surveyor, Hancock Lee [ca. 1736-1820]. The 387-acre tract near the fails of the Ohio River had been part of Colonel William Peachy's [1729-1802] 1,000-acre military land grant and its purchase cost 341 pounds.2 While the Georgian brick house was under construction, the family maintained a log cabin.

  • Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett
    Spring Grove Cemetery, once characterized as blending "the elegance of a park with the pensive beauty of a burial-place," is the final resting- place of forty Cincinnatians who were generals during the Civil War. Forty For the Union: Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett f the forty Civil War generals who are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, twenty-three had advanced from no military experience whatsoever to attain the highest rank in the Union Army. This remarkable feat underscores the nature of the Northern army that suppressed the rebellion of the Confed- erate states during the years 1861 to 1865. Initially, it was a force of "inspired volunteers" rather than a standing army in the European tradition. Only seven of these forty leaders were graduates of West Point: Jacob Ammen, Joshua H. Bates, Sidney Burbank, Kenner Garrard, Joseph Hooker, Alexander McCook, and Godfrey Weitzel. Four of these seven —Burbank, Garrard, Mc- Cook, and Weitzel —were in the regular army at the outbreak of the war; the other three volunteered when the war started. Only four of the forty generals had ever been in combat before: William H. Lytle, August Moor, and Joseph Hooker served in the Mexican War, and William H. Baldwin fought under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian civil war. This lack of professional soldiers did not come about by chance. When the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, its delegates, who possessed a vast knowledge of European history, were determined not to create a legal basis for a standing army. The founding fathers believed that the stand- ing armies belonging to royalty were responsible for the endless bloody wars that plagued Europe.
