(May 2011) James Herman Pruitt II, B.A., King College; M.A., The University of Kentucky Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Brian M. Linn During the ten years following the Spanish American War (1898 to 1908), Major General Leonard Wood served as the primary agent of American imperialism. Wood was not only a proconsul of the new American Empire; he was a symbol of the empire and the age in which he served. He had the distinction of directing civil and military government in Cuba and the Philippines where he implemented the imperial policies given to him by the administrations of William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. In Cuba, he labored to rebuild a state and a civil society crippled by decades of revolutionary ferment and guided the administration’s policy through the dangerous channels of Cuban politics in a way that satisfied – at least to the point of avoiding another revolution – both the Cubans and the United States.

  • War with Spain 215
    War with Spain 215 Chapter Twelve War with Spain ver the past three years, Spain had attempted to crush the Cuban insurgency with fire, sword, and the mass relocation of entire provincial populations— known as reconcentration—for easier observation and control. Such Odraconian methods only succeeded in hardening rebel resolve, restricting American trade with Cuban sugar and mining industries, and provoking U.S. public indigna- tion. Journalists, such as Richard Harding Davis and Stephen Bonsal, filled leading newspapers with poignant accounts of Spanish atrocities perpetrated on the Cuban people and valiant patriots risking everything for independence. President William McKinley’s firm diplomatic efforts and a change in the Spanish government in 1897 led to an easing of reconcentration policy, amnesty for political prisoners, and a grant of autonomy for Cuba from Madrid. However, the new Spanish government feared a coup détat should it give up the Caribbean colony or those in revolt in the Philippines. Unable to quell the rebellion by military force and unwilling to grant independence, Spain played for time while the new Cuban colonial gov- ernment organized itself. On December 6, McKinley, in his first annual address to Congress, would not recognize Cuban belligerency or independence, and rejected calls for U.S. intervention, believing the issue could be resolved diplomatically. But in mid-January, Cuban loyalists and insurrectionists clashed in Havana. Con- gressional interest in recognizing Cuban belligerency revived, and the battleship USS Maine was sent from Key West to provide protection and refuge for Ameri- cans in case violence escalated. TheUSS Maine steamed into Havana Harbor on January 25.

  • Chapter VII, Building the Foundation: the Early Years of Army Dentistry, 1901-1904
    BUILDING THE FOUNDATION : THE EARLY YEARS O F ARMY DENTISTRY Chapter VII BUILDING THE FOUNDATION : THE EARLY YEARS O F ARMY DENTISTRY , 1901–1904 Introduction The carefully selected initial group of contract dental surgeons formed the cor- nerstone for the development of Army dentistry. But until the new dental surgeons actually reached their assigned posts in Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and in the United States itself and began to see patients, they could not contribute to the well-being of the soldiers or confirm the wisdom of their service’s creation. The new Army dentists learned through trial and error until they and their supervisors became acclimated to the Army and their new duties and gained the confidence and support of the officers and soldiers they served. John Marshall, the senior supervising and examining contract dental surgeon, carried the principal burden of representing the Army’s new dental service to the surgeon general, the Medical Department, and the American dental community. Across the Pacific Ocean in the Philippines, Robert Todd Oliver, the second highest ranking dental surgeon, had to build a dental service from scratch for American soldiers heavily engaged in the Philippine Insurrection. The eventual success or failure of Marshall and Oliver in these crucial roles and that of the contract dental surgeons in their daily work would largely determine the future of dentistry in the US Army. Dentists in the Philippines The majority of the newly hired contract dental surgeons were to be sent to attend to the more than 60,000 US troops serving in the Philippine Islands.

It was an economic asset of the region, even though the flesh of the bison was the most important single food resource. It served as emergency food in times of famine and was served regularly in soups, stews, and in any boiled dishes to help stretch meat supplies. It is neither a turnip nor a potato, but the demonstrable importance of the prairie turnip historically raises the question of its significance to the pre-white

  • The Frontier Us Army and the Transition from the War
    AGENTS OF EMPIRE: THE FRONTIER U.S. ARMY AND THE TRANSITION FROM THE WAR WITH SPAIN TO THE OCCUPATION OF CUBA John R. Rhodes A dissertation submitted to the faculty at 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 2016 Approved by: Joseph T. Glatthaar Wayne E. Lee Louis A. Pérez Jr. W. Fitzhugh Brundage Alex Roland © 2016 John R. Rhodes ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT John R. Rhodes: Agents of Empire: The Frontier U.S. Army and the Transition from the War with Spain to the Occupation of Cuba (Under the direction of Joseph T. Glatthaar) This dissertation examines how the U.S. Army conducted a successful initial occupation of Santiago, Cuba, after the Spanish surrender of eastern Cuba to General William R. Shafter’s Fifth Corps on July 17, 1898. U.S. Army officers replicated and adapted lessons learned from their frontier and Reconstruction experiences to evacuate Spanish prisoners, relieve humanitarian crises, discover the causes of tropical fevers, control the Cuban population, establish a logistical infrastructure, and create a military government. Their actions during the occupation of Santiago became the model for how the U.S. Army conducted the remainder of its occupation of Cuba. Based on both published government records, newspapers, and memoirs; and unpublished personal papers, letters, diaries, and official correspondence collected from three archives, this study shows how the U.S. Army used a blend of coercion and conciliation during the occupation to disband the Cuban Liberation Army and delegitimize the Cuban revolutionary government.
