GEORGE MERCER BROOKE, JR. Professor of History Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va. On 5 November 1823, the Adjutant General in Washington ordered Lieutenant Colonel George Mercer Brooke of the Fourth Infantry to take four companies from Cantonment Clinch near Pensacola to Tampa Bay for the purpose of building a military post. Exactly three months later, Brooke reported from the Tampa Bay area that he had arrived and work on the post was under way. A study of this troop movement and the construction of the cantonment later called Fort Brooke gives some insight into the problems the army faced one hundred and fifty years ago. At that time the population of the country was only ten million and the immigration flood of the nineteenth century was as yet only a trickle. The population was predominantly rural, only seven per cent living in urban areas. The railroad era lay in the future. Missouri had just recently been admitted as the twenty-fourth state after a portentous struggle on the slavery issue, and the country was laboring to recover from the Panic of 1819 induced in large part by overspeculation in land. -

He was in Florida at the time visiting the Keys aboard the Marion, a United States revenue cutter. Audubon commissioned copies to be made—most of them by Robert Havell, Jr., the well-known English engraver. Reproduced by copper plate engravings, each print was colored by hand. Due to human variability, the outlines and colors did not always remain true to the originals. Nevertheless, it is such copies, or even copies of these copies that have come to be in- correctly regarded as Audubon’s real work. The Florida Cormorant on the cover is from a copy of the 1835 Havell engravings in the P. -

Life of the Enlisted Soldier on the Western Frontier
LIFE OF THE ENLISTED SOLDIER ON THE WESTERN FRONTIER 1815-1845 DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Stanley S. Graham, M. A. Denton, Texas August, 1972 Graham, Stanley S., Enlisted Life on the Western Frontier, 1815-1845. Doctor of Philosophy (History), August, 1972, 346 pp., bibliography, 463 titles. In almost two centuries of performance, the American army has adjusted to changing technology. Periodically, it has placed more effective weapons and equipment in the hands of its troops. It has also made changes in its administration, training, tactics, and methods of resupply to conform better to new missions. The pay of its personnel has been adequate, although sometimes meager when compared with civilian wages. Equally important for the morale of its soldiery, the army has made occasional efforts to afford moral guidance and recreational facilities. In more recent years, military leaders have even been forced by civilian pressures to reorient their philosophy toward a more humani- tarian approach in seeking methods to instill discipline. In contrast to the relatively rapid changes occurring in the modern American army, the period between the end of the War of 1812 and the beginning of the Mexican War offers a definite period for a study of military life when reform came slowly. 1 2 During the. time outlined, one observes changing policies in almost all phases of military life. Tactics and weapons and other equipment improved, with each modifi- cation serving to make a more efficient army. -
