19161392San Antonio 1916. Near Fine. Ten original photographs plus two real photo postcards. Most 3 x 5 inches one smaller. Occasional very minor wear. Images generally crisp and clean. A collection of ten photographs that depict activities of F Troop of the 13th U.S. Cavalry Regiment on the border with Mexico in the vicinity of Columbus New Mexico during the mid-1910s. The regiment was assigned to the Army's El Paso border patrol in 1912 and eventually became headquartered in Columbus. In New Mexico the unit's patrol area consisted of approximately sixty-five miles between Noria and Hermanas; F Troop was stationed in the field near the tiny town of Hachita. The regiment played a key role in defending against Pancho Villa's 1916 raid on Columbus and took part in Pershing's Punitive Expedition which served as retaliation for the attack. The images here show members of the troop in training heading out on patrol in their field camp at attention during inspection and horsing around. The versos of most photographs are stamped "Fox Tone Print Fox Co. San Antonio." Also present are two photo postcards showing I Troop of the 2nd U.S. Cavalry which was also briefly stationed at El Paso. A nice group. unknown books

The 1916-1917 American expedition into Mexico to capture Mexican revolutionary leader Pancho Villa 1878-1923 after his 1916 attack on the town of Columbus New Mexico. General John J. Pershing led the unsuccessful expedition which was part of the Mexican Border War. Archive. Approx. 88 pieces. 1914 to 1917. Primarily Texas. An archive related to the Mexican Border War and the Pancho Villa Expedition. It contains the papers of Lieutenant Maurice B. Welty who served as an Aide-de-Camp at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio Texas during the Mexican Border War. Most of the documents are routine military paperwork sent to and from Welty such as typed reports copies of orders letters relating to supplies and more. There are also a few pieces of personal correspondence including letters receipts and checks drawn on the Army Bank of Fort Sam Houston. Documents are mainly in good condition with rust and indentations from paperclips. The majority of the documents date from 1916 and 1917 when Welty was stationed in Texas though there are also some of his earlier service records. The star of the archive is a pair of TDsS signed by Julius A. Penn 1865-1934 during the Pancho Villa Expedition. Penn commanded the 3rd Infantry during the expedition; he also served in World War One and later become a Brigadier General. There are two relatively similar TDsS dated April 10 1916 from the Madison Barracks. Each is signed by Julius Penn around the time of the Pancho Villa Expedition. “Certificate of Suitability of Mount. I have this day examined one mare purchased by 2nd Lieut. R. S.

In good condition with rust and indentations from a paper clip. unknown books
186337344Belair Maryland 1863. Neat ink manuscript. 4pp on a sheet folded to 6-78" x 8." Very Good.<br/><br/> Maryland -- like her sister Border States of Delaware Missouri and Kentucky-- was a Slave State whose government remained loyal to the Union during the War. But each of those States contained many Confederate sympathizers. President Lincoln's policy was to suspend Habeas Corpus and subject such persons to military arrest and imprisonment generally without charging them or granting them access to the normal incidents of due process. One such unfortunate Robert W. Newman is the subject of this letter from an associate known only as "Mary." Newman was Principal of Maryland's Harford Academy. "His arrest took place at Belair near Baltimore in the latter part of June 1863 and was made by Lieutenant Offley at the head of a detachment of Delaware cavalry stationed in Baltimore and commanded by the notorious Colonel Fish then acting as Provost Marshal of the City." Marshall AMERICAN BASTILLE. A HISTORY OF THE ILLEGAL ARRESTS AND IMPRISONMENT OF AMERICAN CITIZENS DURING THE LATE CIVIL 621-623. Philadelphia: 1870. After about a month's imprisonment he was released without charges. We have been unable definitively to identify Mary. From context she was a close associate-- a relative close friend possibly even his wife. Her Letter reads in full capitalizations are underlined in the original:<br/><br/> "Belair July 15 /63. Dear Mother Brothers & Sisters<br/> "This is a gloomy Sabbath morning to me I can assure you; it will be a week tomorrow morning since Mr. Newman was taken PRISONER with another gentleman of this village and CONFINED in the COUNTY JAIL; no charge was preferred against them; they were arrested by a detachment of the 1st Delaware regiment. The officer who arrested them said he was acting under orders from a superior officer from the war department. They were kept in jail from Monday till Thursday. The officer told me they must go before the provost marshall and have a hearing. Then we would know why they were arrested. I have anxiously looked every day since they were taken from here for an account of their appearance before the provost marshall but have heard no tidings of them. I shall probably know something of their whereabouts before long but I thought it not best to delay writing you any longer as you must be anxious to hear from me surrounded as I am with such commotion. For the last four days we have heard the roar of cannon on the battle field. Our little village is desolate. Many of the men have fled since the arrests fearing a like fate. This whole country is in a state of the WILDEST EXCITEMENT.<br/> "There is no Service in any of the churches in Belair today. The FUNERAL PALL has settled upon our very homes. Who can describe the SADNESS that broods over our land TODAY. <br/> "I have about two thousand dollars worth of property here to take care of so I cannot leave NOW under any circumstances. Mr. Newman's friends will never let me suffer. Mr. Newman MAY BE released in a short time but I think it MORE PROBABLE he will be sent South or to a distant fort. If Mr. Newman is taken from us by death or imprisonment for a long period or is sent South and goes into the army you all know I shall never settle myself here. I shall endeavor to wait patiently for the future to be revealed and at the same time thank my Heavenly father that he has given me strength of body and mind to endure my trials. I have felt stronger since Mr. Newman's imprisonment than I have before for several months. It is of course nervous excitement. I am taking medicine under the doctor's instruction. I take a glass of wine every day at dinner.<br/> "I read Phebe's letter-- glad you are all getting along so well. Write as soon as you get this that I may hear from you Saturday. You dont know how DESOLATE I am- dont fail to write.<br/> "Yours in affliction-- Mary unknown books
