They included Dr. Ann Birney portraying Julia Archibald Holmes; Kitty Frank, Kitty Hays; Angela Bates, Stagecoach Mary; and Donna Madison on the facing page portraying Cathay Williams. Telling the stories of trail travelers in the first person brings history alive in a way that reading about them cannot. For the portrayer, acting the role involves research, drama, and an opportunity to step outside of one- self and be part of history. If this sounds appealing to you, one way to get involved is to attend Ride into History’s “Preserving our Past through Performance” workshop on March 4-5, 2017, in Admire, Kansas. Led by Dr. Joyce Thierer and Dr. Ann Birney, the workshop does not require attendees to have prior acting experience or a history degree. Dr. Thierer is the author of Telling History: A Manual of Performers and Presenters of First Person Narratives. For details about the workshop, visit www. historicperformance.com, email ridehist@satelephone or call 620-528- 3580. Another way to get involved is to attend Bent’s Old Fort National His- toric Site’s Frontier Skills Day on March 17 in La Junta, Colorado. Ap- plications will be available online at www.nps.gov/beol on January 3. The cover artist, Tracy Teeter, created the artwork for the 25th anniver- sary of the Santa Fe Trail Association. She owns MainARTery, a gallery in Ulysses, Kansas, http://mainarterykansas.com. Her work can also be seen at http://fineartamerica.com/featured/the-historian--jeff-trotman- tracy-l-teeter.html, where prints and items with Jeff ’s portrait can be purchased.

It was during this period that U.S. Army policy required that African Americans serve in separate military units from white soldiers. All four of the United States Congressionally mandated all-black units were stationed at Fort Huachuca during this period, beginning with the 24th Infantry and following in chronological order; the 9th Cavalry, the 10th Cavalry, and the 25th Infantry.

  • Early Days at Fort Snelling
    Library of Congress Early days at Fort Snelling. 420 EARLY DAYS AT FORT SNELLING. Previous to the organization of the Territory of Minnesota, in 1849, Fort Snelling was the only place of note beyond Prairie du Chien. For years it had been the point at which the missionary of the Cross, the man of science, the adventurous trader, made preparations for their journeys among the villages of the wandering Dakotas. Beautifully located on an elevated bluff, at the junction of the Minnesota and Mississippi, its massive walls make a strong impression on the mind of the traveler. Within its enclosure have been quartered some of the most efficient officers of the United States Army, who have received with hospitality the various scientific expeditions that have from time to time passed through the country. Its history and associations are full of interest and worthy of record in the Annals of Minnesota. On the island in front of the Fort, Pike encamped, and entered into negotiations for the site of the present Fort, as the extracts from his journal, published in a previous chapter show. In 1817, Major Long , in a report to the War Department, recommended the site for a permanent Fort. In 1819, three hundred men of the Sixth regiment, under the command of Colonel Leavenworth , left Detroit, for the purpose of commanding the Fort. They came by the way of Green Bay and Prairie du Chien. At this point a detachment was left, and the remainder ascended the Mississippi. On the 17th of September, they established a cantonment, on the South side of the Minnesota, at the present ferry.

  • Leavenworth, Kansas, 1827-2004
    THE HISTORY OF WEATHER OBSERVING IN LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS, 1827-2004 Including Fort Leavenworth and West Leavenworth General Henry Leavenworth, 1783-1834 From History of Fort Leavenworth 1827-1927 Current as of January 21, 2005 Prepared by: Stephen R. Doty Information Manufacturing Corporation Rocket Center, West Virginia This report was prepared for the Midwestern Regional Climate Center under the auspices of the Climate Database Modernization Program, NOAA's National Climatic Data Center, Asheville, North Carolina Executive Summary Weather observing in the Leavenworth, Kansas, area began in 1827 when the U.S. Army established a post at Fort Leavenworth. Military surgeons recorded observations at the Post Hospital and the Military Prison Hospital until the early 1900’s. Observations were then begun at the Army Airfield in 1926 and they continued through 1996. Meanwhile, Smithsonian Institution observers were recording the weather in Leavenworth beginning in 1857. These volunteer observers were followed by the U.S. Army Signal Service and Weather Bureau observers serving through 1893. Volunteer observers again began to record Leavenworth’s weather. The U.S. Federal Penitentiary was the site of the observations beginning in 1911 continuing through 1946 when Kansas Power and Light assumed the observing role at their generating plant, a role they continued until 1961. Radio station KCLO was the site of the observations from 1961 until 1973. The site moved to the municipal water plant in 1973 where observations continued until 1988. After this time the program moved to a series of individuals, a service that continues to this day. An U.S. Army Signal Service volunteer observer recorded observations in West Leavenworth from 1883 until 1888.

Program Accepted this 13th Day of December, 1999 ABSTRACT Tactical Alchemy: Heavy Division Tactical Maneuver Planning Guides and the Army’s Neglect of the Science of War. In the wake of the Cold War, the Army increasingly finds its institutional focus shifting away from preparing for sustained mechanized land combat. This trend serves the Army’s immediate operational needs and addresses its perceived need to demonstrate relevancy, but it also raises an important question. How can the Army preserve for future use its hard won expertise in combined arms mechanized warfare? The art of these operations is well documented in doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures, but the science of time, space, and combat power in heavy division operations is not. In effect, the Army is already lapsing into what J.F.C. Fuller described as “military alchemy,” denying the science of war in favor of theorizing on its art.

Since Marc was Kit’s biographer, and considered by John Carson, Kit’s great-grandson, to be the best of the bunch that’s written about Kit, I paid particular attention. The story is related in three paragraphs in Kit’s modest and understated autobiography, and I quickly realized it was the fodder for a good painting. Over several vis- its, Marc and I fleshed out Kit’s sparse account. In the spring of 1843, Kit was employed as a hunter for a Bent, St. Vrain & Company freight caravan bound for the states. At the Walnut Creek crossing, near the great bend of the Arkansas River, they met an escort of U.S. Dragoons with a caravan of Mexican and American trad- ers bound for Santa Fe. Texans were reputed to be on the trail raiding the Mexican trains. The U. S. Dragoons could not escort them past the Arkansas, as that was Mexican territory. Kit was offered $300 in gold to ride dispatch to the Mexican governor in Santa Fe and request Mexican cavalry to escort the train the rest of the way in.
