ATHEARN * NE day in the spring of 1848, a young first lieutenant sta­ O tioned at Monterey, California, learned that the far­ famed Kit Carson, trapper and scout, had arrived from Taos with mail and dispatches. Having seen Fremont's recent writ­ ings, the officer was anxious to look upon this man who had come to international notice through his feats of daring in the western wilderness. Making his way to the tavern he found a small, round-shouldered individual with hair that was not quite as red as his own and whose appearance was somewhat less spectacular than he had imagined. Carson proved to be a further disappointment in that his speech was monosyllabic and he displayed little tendency to talk about the exploits that were claimed for him. Yet, in their modesty, the two men were much alike and shortly a warm friendship developed.

NIEMAN DURING THE SUMMER AND FALL OF 1865, AS THE NEWLY CREATED Freedmen's Bureau commenced its operations, one of the chief concerns of its officials was providing freedmen with legal pro- tection. Antebellum southern state law had discriminated harshly against free blacks, and in the Civil War's aftermath functionaries of the provisional governments created in the rebel states by Presi- dents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson stood ready to apply this law to the freedmen. State officials' willingness to enforce discriminatory law, however, was not the only reason they posed a threat to blacks.

  • Proclamation 9567—Establishment of the Reconstruction Era National Monument January 12, 2017
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2017 Proclamation 9567—Establishment of the Reconstruction Era National Monument January 12, 2017 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The Reconstruction Era, a period spanning the early Civil War years until the start of Jim Crow racial segregation in the 1890s, was a time of significant transformation in the United States, as the Nation grappled with the challenge of integrating millions of newly freed African Americans into its social, political, and economic life. It was in many ways the Nation's Second Founding, as Americans abolished slavery and struggled earnestly, if not always successfully, to build a nation of free and equal citizens. During Reconstruction, Congress passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth constitutional amendments that abolished slavery, guaranteed due process and equal protection under the law, and gave all males the ability to vote by prohibiting voter discrimination based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Ultimately, the unmet promises of Reconstruction led to the modern civil rights movement a century later. The Reconstruction Era began when the first United States soldiers arrived in slaveholding territories, and enslaved people on plantations and farms and in cities escaped from their owners and sought refuge with Union forces or in free states. This happened in November 1861 in the Sea Islands or "Lowcountry" of southeastern South Carolina, and Beaufort County in particular. Just seven months after the start of the Civil War, Admiral Samuel F. DuPont led a successful attack on Port Royal Sound and brought a swath of this South Carolina coast under Union control.

Sherman’s army marched through Georgia during the American Civil War, it did not travel alone. As many as 17,000 refugee slaves followed his army to the coast; as many, if not more, fled to the army but decided to stay on their plantations rather than march on. This study seeks to understand Sherman’s march from their point of view. It argues that through their refugee experiences, Georgia’s refugee slaves transformed the march into one for their own freedom and citizenship. Such a transformation would not be easy. Not only did the refugees have to brave the physical challenges of life on the march, they had to also exist within a war waged by white men.

The committee focused on many areas affecting veterans and military personnel, including: (1) housing issues; (2) family and community support; (3) treatment options for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD); and (4) opportunities at educational institutions around the state. Don Arnold, a United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) prior approval lender and veteran advocate, gave a presentation to the committee on the problems some veterans are having with losing their homes and the foreclosure process. The committee suggested that Mr. Arnold work with Secretary of Veterans' Services Timothy L. Hale to discuss the issues and develop possible solutions. Representatives from Cannon Air Force Base and from the National Guard spoke about the comprehensive community and family support services provided to military personnel. These programs include relocation and transition assistance, financial management, youth and community programs and help with behavioral health, suicide prevention and sexual assault issues. The committee heard several presentations on the topic of PTSD, including the services available from community-based outpatient clinics and the New Mexico VA health care system. The VA is striving to provide effective treatments that can be accessed by all veterans in the state, including through telehealth services.

    David Kramer “Infirm Soldiers in the Cuban War of Theodore Roosevelt and Richard Harding Davis” George Schwartz was thought to be one of the few untouched by the explosion of the Maine in the Havana Harbor. Schwartz said that he was fine. However, three weeks later in Key West, he began to complain of not being able to sleep. One of the four other survivors [in Key West] said of Schwartz, “Yes, sir, Schwartz is gone, and he knows it. I don’t know what’s the matter with him and he don’t know. But he’s hoisted his Blue Peter and is paying out his line.” After his removal to the Marine Hospital in Brooklyn, doctors said that Schwartz’s nervous system had been completely damaged when he was blown from the deck of the Maine. —from press reports in early April 1898, shortly before the United States officially declared War on Spain. n August 11th 1898 at a Central Park lawn party organized by the Women’s Patriotic Relief Association, 6,000 New Yorkers gathered to greet invalided sol- diers and sailors returningO from Cuba following America’s victory. Despite the men’s infirmities, each gave his autograph to those in attendance. A stirring letter was read from Richmond Hobson, the newly anointed hero of Santiago Bay. Each soldier and sailor received a facsimile lithograph copy of the letter as a souvenir.1 Twenty years later, the sight of crippled and psychologically traumatized soldiers returning from France would shake the ideals of Victorian England, and to a lesser degree, the United States.
