L. Sonnichsen ALLISON, ROBERT CLAY (1841–1887). Clay Allison, gunfighter, the fourth of nine children of Jeremiah Scotland and Mariah R. (Brown) Allison, was born on a farm in Wayne County, Tennessee, on September 2, 1841. His father was a row crop farmer. When the Civil War (/handbook/online/articles/qdc02) broke out, Allison joined Phillips' Tennessee Light Artillery Company in the Confederate Army. On January 15, 1862, he received a medical discharge for emotional instability resulting from a head injury as a child, but in September he reenlisted as a cavalryman with Company F, Col. Jacob B. Biffle's Nineteenth Tennessee Cavalry. The regiment was with Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest in the fall of 1864 through the spring of 1865 and surrendered at the war's end with Forrest's Cavalry Corps. He was a prisoner of war in Alabama from May 4 to 10, 1865. After the war Allison moved to the Brazos River country in Texas. Allison soon signed on as a cowhand with Oliver Loving and Charles Goodnight (/handbook/online/articles/fgo11) and may have been among the eighteen herders on the 1866 drive that blazed the Goodnight­Loving Trail (/handbook/online/articles/ayg02) . He was in Colfax County, New Mexico, by the spring of 1871 when he accidentally shot himself in the foot while he and some companions stampeded a herd of Gen. Gordon Granger's army mules as a prank. In 1872 Allison's future brother­in­law L. G. Coleman and ranching partner I. W. Lacy moved to a spread in Colfax County, New Mexico. Allison drove their herd to the new ranch for a payment of 300 cattle, with which he started his own ranch near Cimarron. Eventually he built it into a lucrative operation. 615-517-7675 www.mclemoreauction.com [email protected] 8 Table of Contents Information about Clay Allison Allison was a heavy drinker and became involved in several brawls and shooting sprees. On October 30, 1875, he may have been in a mob that seized and lynched Cruz Vega, who was suspected of murdering a Methodist circuit rider. Two days later Allison killed gunman Pancho Griego, a friend of Vega, in a confrontation at the St. James Hotel in Cimarron. In January 1876 a drunken Allison wrecked the office of the Cimarron News & Press because of a scathing editorial. He allegedly later returned to the newspaper office and paid $200 for damages. In December of that year Clay and his brother John were involved in a dance­hall gunfight at Las Animas, Colorado, in which a deputy sheriff was killed. For this Allison was arrested and charged with manslaughter, but the charges were later dismissed on grounds of self­defense. Allison was arrested as an accessory to the murder of three black soldiers the following spring, but evidence was sketchy and he was soon acquitted. In 1878 he sold his New Mexico ranch to his brother John for $700 and moved to Hemphill County, Texas, on land located at the junction of Gageby Creek and the Washita River. By 1880 Clay and his brothers, Jeremiah Monroe Allison and John Allison, had settled on the Gageby Creek land next door to their sister Saluda Ann and her husband Louis G. Coleman and fellow Tennesseans, the J. C. Hoggett family. Clay registered an ACE brand for his cattle. On February 15, 1881, he married Dora McCullough in Mobeetie, Wheeler County, Texas. The couple had two daughters. Though Allison served as a juror in Mobeetie, and though age and marriage had slowed him down some, his reputation as the "Wolf of the Washita" was kept alive by reports of his unusual antics. Once he was said to have ridden nude through the streets of Mobeetie. In 1883 he bought a ranch located on the Texas­New Mexico border northwest of Pecos and became involved in area politics. On July 3, 1887, while hauling supplies to his ranch from Pecos he was thrown from his heavily loaded wagon and fatally injured when run over by its rear wheel. He was buried in the Pecos Cemetery the next day. On August 28, 1975, in a special ceremony, his remains were reinterred in Pecos Park, just west of the Pecos Museum. BIBLIOGRAPHY: Carl W.

  • The 239 Year Timeline of America's Involvement in Military Conflict
    The 239 Year Timeline Of America’s Involvement in Military Conflict By Isaac Davis Region: USA Global Research, December 20, 2015 Theme: History, US NATO War Agenda Activist Post 18 December 2015 I should welcome almost any war, for I think this country needs one. – President Theodore Roosevelt The American public and the world have long since been warned of the dangers of allowing the military industrial complex to become such an integral part of our economic survival. The United States is the self-proclaimed angel of democracy in the world, but just as George Orwell warned, war is the health of the state, and in the language of newspeak, democracy is the term we use to hide the reality of the nature of our warfare state. In truth, the United States of America has been engaged in some kind of war during 218 out of the nation’s total 239 years of existence. Put another way, in the entire span of US history, this country has only experienced 21 years without conflict. For a sense of perspective on this sobering statistic, consider these4 facts about the history of US involvement in military conflict: Pick any year since 1776 and there is about a 91% chance that America was involved in some war during that calendar year. No U.S. president truly qualifies as a peacetime president. Instead, all U.S. presidents can technically be considered “war presidents.” The U.S. has never gone a decade without war. The only time the U.S. went five years without war (1935-40) was during the isolationist period of the Great Depression.

The guides identify the focus standards by quarter. Teachers should understand that the focus standards emphasize deep instruction for that timeframe. However, because a certain quarter does not address specific standards, it should be understood that previously taught standards should be reinforced while working on the focus standards for any designated quarter. Some standards will recur across all quarters due to their importance and need to be addressed on an ongoing basis. The Standards are not intended to be a check-list of knowledge and skills but should be used as an integrated model of literacy instruction to meet end of year expectations. The Social Studies CCSS pacing guides contain the following elements: • Strand: Identify the type of standard • Standard Band: Identify the sub-category of a set of standards. • Benchmark: Identify the grade level of the intended standards • Grade Specific Standard: Each grade-specific standard (as these standards are collectively referred to) corresponds to the same-numbered CCR anchor standard. Put another way, each CCR anchor standard has an accompanying grade-specific standard translating the broader CCR statement into grade- appropriate end-of-year expectations.

  • Clay Allison Differed from His Contemporaries in That He Was Never a Frontier Lawman Or Outlaw and Always Considered Himself a Hard-Working Cowhand
    from Gary McCarthy’s OUR AMERICAN WEST Counted among the most dangerous men of his day, Clay Allison differed from his contemporaries in that he was never a frontier lawman or outlaw and always considered himself a hard-working cowhand. But he didn’t start out that way. Clay was born on a poor dirt farm in Tennessee in 1840, and until he was twenty-one helped his parents eke out a living. In 1862, Clay enlisted in the Confederacy’s Tennessee Light Artillery but was discharged shortly thereafter for a serious “mental disorder”. The army surgeon’s report reads in part, “incapable of performing the duties of a soldier because of a blow to the head received many years ago. Emotional or physical excitement produces paroxysmal of mixed character, partly epileptic and partly maniacal.” Though Clay re-enlisted and served as a scout to the end of the Civil War, the surgeon’s term, “maniacal” is the key to a pattern of violent behavior that marked him as one of the most savage of gunmen. With his beloved South devastated by the war and overrun by carpetbaggers, Clay and his family moved to Texas and he worked for many of the most prominent ranchers of the period, including Charles Goodnight and Oliver Loving. But cowboying is mostly hard work and Clay yearned for excitement. He never lasted long on one job, and very soon his reputation as a hard-drinking, dangerous man began to spread. In 1870, he is reputed to have gotten drunk and killed a man named Johnson in a knife fight.

The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events.

Cool artesian springs bubble up from deep underground and ceaseless wind sculpts sand into ever-changing dunes. Above it all stretches a sky so big you can almost reach out and touch it. This is the legendary Wild West of classic books and movies, and the real-life landscape of the Texas Pecos Trail Region. The region’s 22 West Texas counties cover almost 35,000 square miles, an area larger than a dozen average-sized U.S. states. This big land comprises an ecological transition zone at the junction of the high and rolling plains in the north, Edwards Plateau in the east, mountain basins and Chihuahuan Desert in the west and brush country in the south. For centuries, scattered Native American groups hunted buffalo and other game across the immense UTSA’s InstituteUTSA’s Cultures, of Texan #068-0154 grassland prairies.

  • How Many Wars Have There Been? of the Past 3,400 Years, Humans Have Been Entirely at Peace for 268 of Them, Or Just 8 Percent of Recorded History
    How many wars have there been? Of the past 3,400 years, humans have been entirely at peace for 268 of them, or just 8 percent of recorded history. At least 108 million people were killed in wars in the twentieth century. Estimates for the total number killed in wars throughout all of human history range from 150 million to 1 billion. Jul 6, 2003 How many wars has America had between 1776 and 2017? The U.S. Has Been At War 222 Out of 239 Years. An interesting statistic: America has been at war 93% of the time – 222 out of 239 years. Another way to put it: the U.S. has only been at peace for less than 20 years total since its birth. (Mar. 19, 2017) To put this in perspective: * No U.S. president truly qualifies as a peacetime president. Instead, all U.S. presidents can technically be considered “war presidents.” * The U.S. has never gone a decade without war.
