PL "^^^sag**^*^-* Roseglen in about 1948 F Foreword This book is more than the history of 50 > ears of a little inland town in Western McLean County. It Is a story of the people who built the farms, the town, the institutions, and the organizations that make the entire Roseglen area one of the better strictly rural communities of our state. And it is more than the history of 50 years. It goes back to the turn of the century, when Patrick and Mike Glennon came from Iowa to squat in a verdant coulee, years ahead of the first homesteaders. The history is admittedly incomplete, stories of many of the area pioneers are missing or shortened because of lack of information. Though the committee in charge of preparing this anniversary book has worked hard, they do apologize for any omissions or inaccuracies. This committee expresses its sincere appreciation to all who have helped us in furnishing or preparing material for this book; to some credit is given herein, many others must remain anonymous. We thank especially the many advertisers whose financial assistance has made the preparation possible. It is well that we should be proud of our heritage. And that we should record its history for succeeding generations, that they may know how their fathers and grandfathers worked here to make on the virgin prairie an American community. May our children always be as proud of their history as we are of ours!

Governor Guy DEDICATION We dedicate this book, not to the generations gone by, but to those generations who will come marching in from the future. May this wonderful area of ours continue a land of happy homes, and prosperous family farmers; secure in ownership of its fertile fields, and in enjoyment of the fruits of those fields! Will this continue to be true? We wish we knew! REMEMBER WHEN I remember When we found it quite a problem to keep the fire alight. We kindled it at morning, and banked it for the night. We carried coal and kindling in; we carried ashes out. Yes, the fire was quite a problem. Of that there is no doubt. But things are very different now, for time has changed all that. To build a fire now, all we do, is set the thermostat. I remember When on wash-day we were up before the sun. When everything took second place until the wash was done. We had no running water; we had no electric power. What then took almost half a day, is now done in an hour. Don't think that I exaggerate, or try to be dramatic, But Monday's just like Tuesday since our washer's automatic. I remember When a ten or twelve mile journey took almost an entire day. We had no automobile, nor concrete-paved highway. The roads were rough and narrow, the horses slow but sure. And there were many other hardships which a traveler must endure. But now there is no limit to the distance we can go. Why, we often drive a hundred miles to see the latest show. I wonder Now as I look back on how I toiled and slaved What has become, in recent years, all of the time I've saved? Helen Lemmon Roseglen Township History BY GORDON HILL (From a term paper prepared while studying at Minot State College in 1963.) INTRODUCTION This paper is a history of Roseglen Township covering the early settlement in 1902. It tells of the life of the settlers. One big threat in their early life was prairie fires. In 1916 a part of the township that had been included in the Fort Berthold Reservation was opened to homesteaders. In 1917 life was in­ terrupted from its normal course when the U.S. entered World War I and many of the boys in the area were called into the service. In the late 1920's the depression hit the area along with a series of crop failures. In 1941 the U.S. entered World War II and 24 boys from the area were called into the service of their country. As luck would have it all 24 boys returned home safe and sound after the war. The higher prices received during the war and following the war brought prosperity to the area and Roseglen became a progressive area. The farms in the area are kept up and although some of the houses are old they are modern and well kept. I would like to express my appreciation to my mother and father for all the help they gave me in finding information for this paper. I would also like to express thanks to all the other people who gave of their time and knowledge. A special thanks to my sister who typed this paper for me. A HISTORY OF ROSEGLEN TOWNSHIP Roseglen township is made up of flat level land for the most part. The northern half is flat with one coulee intersecting for a short distance along the northwest edge, (Section 12). This coulee is known as Glennon's coulee. The extreme east and the southern half is slightly more hilly, and has more rocks than the northern half. The extreme southeast corner is rough hilly land suitable for pasture purposes. The soil in this area is more sandy than the rest of the township. The soil is generally good for crops. The area usually receives from 5 to 20 inches of precipitation a year. Crops are generally fair to good in yields. In 1961 the area received a crop failure while in 1962 many farmers re­ ceived crops of twice the normal yields. Glennon's Ranch, established in 1894, from which Roseglen received part of its name. Roseglen Township (T, 149N, R. 87W)is located in the western part of McLean County. It is surrounded by Deepwater on the west, Amundsville on the northwest, Gate on the north, Blue Hill on the northeast, T. 149, R 86W, east (unorganized), Black- water on the southeast and T. 148, R 88W( unorganized) on the west southwest. Like most small areas, Roseglen Township does not have a spectabular history yet it has a history distinctly its own. Before the settlers came in mass to this area is was open range and used by the ranchers to the south. In 1884 Patrick Glennon settled on the open range in what is now known as Glennon's coulee. He homesteaded in 1902 when the land was opened to settlers for homesteading. When the settlers first came Patrick Glennon sold hay to those who arrived too late in the fall to put up their own. The Glennons were also the gardners of the area. They had huge gardens where they grew potatoes and a large assortment of other vegetables. They made huge root cellars where they stored this food until they could use it or sell it to the neighbors. These cellars could keep the potatoes and vegetables year around without spoilage. The early settlers made their homes out of whatever materials happened to be available. Some lived in sod shantys, others in tar paper shacks. Most, as soon as they could, built their homes out of lumber which usually came from a mill across the river or from Minot. By 1904 the people of Roseglen Township felt they needed a post office since the nearest one was in what is now Bluehill Township, then known as Oscar Post Office. In 1904 a petition for a post office was signed and sent to the postal department. Along with this petition was sent a letter with the surname of six settlers from the area as suggested names for the post office. The names submitted were Hill, Glennon, Snippen, Kolden, Shea and Rostad. All these were rejected by the Postal Department. A group of men then met at the Johannes Snippen home. The purpose was to find a name for the new post office that was to be established. A picture of roses on a seed catalogue caught the eye of one of the men and he sug- First store and post office at Roseglen. Notice the sod sides. gested that the name rose be combined with his neighbor's sur­ name Glennon and the name Roseglennon was sent to the Postal Department. The Postal Department shortened the name to Roseglen and accepted it, thus the post office became known as Roseglen. The post office was open for six months before the mail delivery route was extended to Roseglen. During this time John Snippen, the Postmaster, made the trip to Oscar everyday to pick up the mail and bring it back to the Roseglen Post Of­ fice.

  • The United States Atomic Army, 1956-1960 Dissertation
    INTIMIDATING THE WORLD: THE UNITED STATES ATOMIC ARMY, 1956-1960 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paul C. Jussel, B.A., M.M.A.S., M.S.S. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor Allan R. Millett, Advisor Professor John R. Guilmartin __________________ Professor William R. Childs Advisor Department of History ABSTRACT The atomic bomb created a new military dynamic for the world in 1945. The bomb, if used properly, could replace the artillery fires and air-delivered bombs used to defeat the concentrated force of an enemy. The weapon provided the U.S. with an unparalleled advantage over the rest of the world, until the Soviet Union developed its own bomb by 1949 and symmetry in warfare returned. Soon, theories of warfare changed to reflect the belief that the best way to avoid the effects of the bomb was through dispersion of forces. Eventually, the American Army reorganized its divisions from the traditional three-unit organization to a new five-unit organization, dubbed pentomic by its Chief of Staff, General Maxwell D. Taylor. While atomic weapons certainly had an effect on Taylor’s reasoning to adopt the pentomic organization, the idea was not new in 1956; the Army hierarchy had been wrestling with restructuring since the end of World War II. Though the Korean War derailed the Army’s plans for the early fifties, it returned to the forefront under the Eisenhower Administration. The driving force behind reorganization in 1952 was not ii only the reoriented and reduced defense budget, but also the Army’s inroads to the atomic club, formerly the domain of only the Air Force and the Navy.

  • Chapter 6 the EARLY MODERN BRIGADE, 1958-1972 Pentomic
    Chapter 6 THE EARLY MODERN BRIGADE, 1958-1972 Pentomic Era Following World War II, the US Army retained the organizational structures, with minor modifications, which had won that war. This organization—which did not include a maneuver unit called the brigade after the two brigades in the 1st Cavalry Division were eliminated in 1949—was also used to fight the Korean War in 1950-1953. Despite the success of the triangular infantry division in two wars, the Army radically changed the structure in 1958 by converting the infantry division to what became known as the Pentomic Division. Ostensively, the Pentomic structure was designed to allow infantry units to survive and fight on an atomic battlefield. Structurally it eliminated the regiment and battalion, replacing both with five self- contained “battlegroups,” each of which were larger than an old style battalion, but smaller than a regiment. A full colonel commanded the battlegroup and his captains commanded four, later five, subordinate rifle companies. The Pentomic Division structurally reflected that of the World War II European theater airborne divisions. This was no surprise since three European airborne commanders dominated the Army’s strategic thinking after the Korean War: Army Chief of Staff General Matthew Ridgway, Eighth Army commander General Maxwell Taylor, and VII Corps commander Lieutenant General James Gavin. Though theoretically triangular in design, the two airborne divisions Ridgway, Taylor, and Gavin commanded in the war, the 82d and 101st, fought as division task forces reinforced with additional parachute regiments and separate battalions. For most of the Northern European campaign, both divisions had two additional parachute regiments attached to them, giving them five subordinate regiments, each commanded by colonels.

With more than 200 years of service, the U.S. Army’s Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) Corps has distinguished itself as the worlds most accomplished group of military professionals. Historical and daily accounts of life as an NCO are exemplified by acts of courage, and a dedication and a willingness to do whatever it takes to complete the mission. NCOs have been celebrated for decorated service in military events ranging from Valley Forge to Gettysburg, to charges on Omaha Beach and battles along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, to current conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. In recognition of their commitment to service and willingness to make great sacrifices on behalf of our nation, the Secretary of the Army established 2009 as the Year of the NCO.
