Abstract Beginning in November 1996 and continuing until July of 1997, the Adjutant General’s Department of Texas conducted a self-sponsored Phase I cultural resources survey of Camp Swift in Bastrop County, Texas. The project surveyed approximately 5,000 acres of the camp, approximately 1,000 of which had been previously surveyed. A total of 58 new archaeological sites were recorded, of which 26 were prehistoric, 24 were historic, and 8 had both prehistoric and historic components. In addition to these sites, 42 previously identified sites were revisited. In September 2000, the Center for Archaeological Research of the University of Texas at San Antonio com- pleted shovel tests on two sites and acquired GPS data on 28 sites. At this time, a geomorphologist excavated a series of 12 backhoe trenches and—subsequently—a report on the geoarchaeology of Camp Swift was added to this report. An assessment of the 169 sites now known on Camp Swift found one site (41BP138, the Wine Cellar Site) eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. A total of 106 sites are considered not eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Fifty-nine sites are considered potentially eligible, and should be tested to determine their eligibility. Three marked cemeteries are protected by state law. i Contents Abstract ....................................................................................................................................................... i Figures ...................................................................................................................................................... v Tables ...................................................................................................................................................viii Acknowledgments ............................................................................................................................................... x Chapter 1: Introduction Project Tasks ................................................................................................................................. 1 Project Area .................................................................................................................................. 3 Previous Investigations ................................................................................................................. 8 Chapter 2: Historic Background Prehistoric Bastrop County......................................................................................................... 11 The History of the Camp Swift Area, 1830–1950 ...................................................................... 14 Chapter 3: Geoarchaeological Assessment Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 31 Methods ...................................................................................................................................... 31 Geomorphology .......................................................................................................................... 34 Stratigraphy................................................................................................................................. 34 Depositional Chronology ............................................................................................................ 36 Archaeological Preservation Potential ....................................................................................... 37 Chapter 4: Methods Research Design ......................................................................................................................... 39 Field Methodology ..................................................................................................................... 40 Lab Methodology ....................................................................................................................... 44 Archival Research....................................................................................................................... 44 Chapter 5a: Results -

  • Crucibles of Virtue and Vice: the Acculturation of Transatlantic Army Officers, 1815-1945
    CRUCIBLES OF VIRTUE AND VICE: THE ACCULTURATION OF TRANSATLANTIC ARMY OFFICERS, 1815-1945 John F. Morris Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 John F. Morris All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Crucibles of Virtue and Vice: The Acculturation of Transatlantic Army Officers, 1815-1945 John F. Morris Throughout the long nineteenth century, the European Great Powers and, after 1865, the United States competed for global dominance, and they regularly used their armies to do so. While many historians have commented on the culture of these armies’ officer corps, few have looked to the acculturation process itself that occurred at secondary schools and academies for future officers, and even fewer have compared different formative systems. In this study, I home in on three distinct models of officer acculturation—the British public schools, the monarchical cadet schools in Imperial Germany, Austria, and Russia, and the US Military Academy—which instilled the shared and recursive sets of values and behaviors that constituted European and American officer cultures. Specifically, I examine not the curricula, policies, and structures of the schools but the subterranean practices, rituals, and codes therein. What were they, how and why did they develop and change over time, which values did they transmit and which behaviors did they perpetuate, how do these relate to nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century social and cultural phenomena, and what sort of ethos did they produce among transatlantic army officers? Drawing on a wide array of sources in three languages, including archival material, official publications, letters and memoirs, and contemporary nonfiction and fiction, I have painted a highly detailed picture of subterranean life at the institutions in this study.

To the soldiers of the Army of the Cumberland, and to their friends at home, the author presents this volume of portraits, sketches, and incidents,— a work undertaken at the solicitation of many friends, with the view of affording pleasure to our soldiers and imparting information to the people, and, if it may be, to secure a fund for the erection of a monument to overlook the battle-field of Stone River, Tennessee, where rest, "unknelled, uncoffined, and unknown," hundreds of American citizens. This work is not intended as a history of the Rebellion, in a general sense, nor even as a detailed account of events occurring' in the history of the Army of the Cumberland. It is simply a collection of sketches and portraits of many of its representative men, and a narration of many interesting events which have transpired within its lines.

Prewitt Diaz, PhD3 1 A former Military Installation located in Cayey, Puerto Rico. 2 Mr Prewitt Diaz has been studying how geographical areas have been used and re-used as population changes, natural and humanitarian disasters have occurred, and as modernization has taken place. He has a special interest in the evolution of Cayey, as a results he has collected maps, photographs and images over the last fifty years. 3 Dr. Prewitt Diaz is a researcher with experiential knowledge on the Henry Barracks Military Reservation having spent over thirty years doing different activities on the Reservation and the town of Cayey. © 2015 James J. Prewitt Diaz, MA, MS & Joseph O. Prewitt Diaz, PhD 2 Henry Barracks Military Reservation4: The evolution of a Military facility to Public Lands Abstract This paper provides a historical overview of the geographic evolution of the Henry Barracks Military Reservation located in the proximity of the town of Cayey, Puerto Rico (1898 to 1967). The public lands became the University of Puerto Rico-Cayey (UPR-Cayey), the municipality of Cayey, private housing, and the municipality. The paper is divided into four major segments: (1) the Spanish Barracks (1897-1898), (2) Camp Henry (1899-1912), (3) The Cayey Naval Radio Station (1914-1932), (4) Henry Barracks Army Post 1910-1962). The researchers relied on interviews, pictures, and narratives of key informants that either lived, grew-up or used the facilities of Henry Barracks Army Post.

McGovern A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Joseph T. Glatthaar John C. Chasteen Wayne E. Lee Michael C. Morgan Benjamin Waterhouse 0 © 2017 Rory M. McGovern ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Rory M. McGovern: George W. Goethals: Life and Change in the U.S. Army, 1876-1919 (Under the direction of Joseph T. Glatthaar) In the culminating achievements of a lengthy career in the U.S. Army, George W. Goethals led the construction of the Panama Canal and managed the effort to sustain an army of approximately four million soldiers during the final year of the First World War. At the outset of that career, neither he nor the U.S. Army was prepared to meet such challenges. Using biography as a vehicle to examine a larger problem, this dissertation follows Goethals’s career in order to understand the nature of change in the U.S. Army during the late-nineteenth and early- twentieth centuries as it transitioned from a frontier constabulary and coastal defense force to a modern army capable of projecting power abroad and meeting the challenges of twentieth- century warfare. Goethals’s story reveals that the legacy of the Civil War and the army’s failure to keep pace with changing social norms and practices in training, education, and perceptions of professionalism created a traditionalist culture that did not embrace the new structures imposed by the Root Reforms at the turn of the century, but sought to apply them to comfortably traditional norms, values, and practices.

Doty III, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Dr. John F. Guilmartin, Advisor Dr. Nathan Rosenstein Dr. Stephanie J. Smith 1 The title is inspired by the Beatles song, “With a Little Help From My Friends,” Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, 1967. Copyright by James L. Doty III 2010 Disclaimer The views expressed in this work are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the United States Army, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. Abstract The United States Army, like its counterparts in Europe, especially the United Kingdom, struggled to achieve recognition as a profession during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Army developed educational institutions, improved standards of conduct, and further developed specialized knowledge in areas such as intelligence. US army officers and military officials sponsored these changes knowing and sometimes adapting from similar developments in other armies. When the First World War started in 1914, the American army was close to par with the British army in its development of intelligence as a specialized field and body of military knowledge. By 1917, Britain and the other belligerents had tremendously advanced their intelligence practices as part of the broader development of warfighting techniques through three years of warfare.
