Spanish-American War Veterans Survey Collection: an Inventory of the Collection U.S. ARMY MILITARY HISTORY INSTITUTE Carlisle, Pennsylvania Manuscript Collection Spanish-American War Veterans Survey Collection: An Inventory of the Collection Overview of the Collection Repository: U.S. Army Military History Institute Creator: U.S. Army Military History Institute Dates: 1861-November 1998, undated Title: Spanish-American War Veterans Survey Collection Extent: 82.25 linear feet (103 Boxes and 2 Map Cabinet Drawers) 1 Biography The Spanish American War Veterans Survey Collection was created from the Spanish-American War Veterans and Widows Survey. The Survey began in 1968 when the U.S. Military History Research Collection at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, predecessor of the U.S. Army Military History Institute, used pension records of the Veterans Administration to send letters to 8,000 identified veterans of the Spanish American War, Philippine Insurrection and the China Relief Expedition. The letters described the efforts of the Spanish-American War, Philippine Insurrection and Boxer Rebellion (China Relief Expedition) Veterans Project to collect information from veterans and included an initial questionnaire. Approximately 800 veterans returned the initial request and agreed to fill out a detailed questionnaire regarding equipment, discipline, soldier life, campaigns and leadership. In addition, letters were sent to widows of the veterans resulting in 1,490 additional collections. Scope and Content of the Collection This collection contains Spanish-American War Veteran’s Survey Questionnaires and donated material from veterans, as well as their widows, of the Spanish-American War, the Philippine Insurrection and the China Relief Expedition. The questionnaires contain information regarding the veteran’s branch of service, length of service, campaign participation and aspects of daily life in the military. Donated materials consist of diaries, military records, personal records, correspondence, and newspaper clippings. The material is organized into ten groups by state, with regular army and volunteer units of the U.S. Army comprising the majority of the collection. The groups are arranged alphabetically by unit for the State Volunteer as well as U.S. Army units and alphabetically by veteran’s last name for all other groups. Although materials from the Army are predominant, the project also collected material from the Navy, Marine Corps, U.S. Territorial Militias and civilian employees. The original accession numbers assigned to each collection is included. The collection is organized into ten series: State Volunteer Units, United States Regular Army Units, United States Army Volunteer Units, Unidentified Units, United States Navy Personnel, United States Marine Corps Personnel, Foreign Military Units and United States Civilians, Materials Unrelated to the Spanish American War, Newspaper Clippings, and Oversize Materials.

  • The Urgency for the Acquisition of the Danish
    THE URGENCY FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE DANISH WEST INDIES By Aimery Caron Presented to the Caribbean Genealogy Library on the occasion of the 97th anniversary of Transfer Day March 31, 2014 ABSTRACT. Unlike 1867, 1890 and 1902, in 1916, already two years into World War I, the US Navy was not looking for an added coaling station or naval base in the Caribbean. However, since 1902, it had been clear to Admiral George DEWEY that Kaiser WILHELM II coveted the Danish West Indies to be used as a naval base, through which he could exert military and political power in the Caribbean. After the improvements made to the St. Thomas Harbor facilities just prior to World War I, and Admiral von Tirpitz’ U-boat campaign to sink all commercial and naval ships aiding the Allies, it became obvious that the Hamburg-American Line facilities in St. Thomas Harbor might be used as a U-boat supply base for the control of maritime traffic in the Caribbean and the Mid-Atlantic. Aware of this serious German threat, Admiral DEWEY convinced President Woodrow WILSON and the US Congress that the acquisition of the Danish West Indies was a matter of great urgency. He should be credited for speeding the sale negotiations, which successfully ended on 4 August 1916, for persuading the US Senate to ratify the treaty only a month later, and for saving the Caribbean from the scourge of German U-boats during World War I. EARLY INTERESTS IN THE DANISH WEST INDIES The US Purchase Attempt of 1867 On January 7, 1865, US Secretary of State William H.

Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

  • Fr. Eliseo “Jun” Mercado, Jr., OMI by Mr
    Fr. Eliseo “Jun” Mercado, Jr., OMI By Mr. Joey Silva A study of bridging leadership in the Philippines produced in cooperation with the Asian Institute of Management 2002 Fr. Eliseo “Jun” Mercado, Jr., OMI Introduction Mindanao, in southern Philippines, is home to the country's largest concentration of Muslims (an estimated 35% of the island groups’ population are avowed Muslims). The history of the violence in Mindanao spans decades. The current conflicts are a result of the migration of Christians in great numbers from other areas of the country during American rule, the martial law policies and war against the Muslim separatists during the Marcos era, and the unfulfilled hopes of peace after the restoration of democracy in 1986. Mindanawons in general often feel policymakers in Manila do not consider their views when deciding on national issues. The creation of Kusog Mindanaw (“Strong Mindanao”) in 1994 had so far brought 16 roundtable conferences centered on peace and development for Mindanao. This multi- sectoral coalition, whose creation was spearheaded by Fr. Eliseo “Jun” Mercado, Jr., OMI, was primarily established to promote peace and development, and begin a process of increasing the voice of Mindanawons in national policymaking. The Issue Macro Context – A Historical Perspective The struggle of the Moro people began sometime in the 16th century when Spain invaded Muslim Mindanao. Before coming to the Philippines in 1521, the Christian Spaniards already felt deep hatred and prejudice toward Islam and the Muslims, whom they called Moros (Moors). The Moors had actually ruled Spain for 700 years from the 8th to the 15th century.

  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.
