This book was released on 1996 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In March 1996, a pedestrian survey of 350 acres in Fort Richardson State Park (FRSP), Jack County, north central Texas was conducted by staff members of Borderlands Archeological Research Laboratory (BARU), The University of Texas at Austin with the assistance of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Regional Resource Managers Ron Ralph and Art Black. The project was carried out under the authority of Texas Antiquities Permit 1629 with Dr. Cynthia Brandimarte as Principal Investigator. A corollary geomorphological study identified a number of ecologically sensitive sinkholes, some that had been used as historic trash dumps. These previously unrecognized karst features provide a direct link to ground water recharge and recommendations for cleaning and avoidance were offered. The survey focused on portions of the park outside of the historic fort, 41JA2. Four sites - 41JA7, 41JA8, 41JA9, and 41JA10 - were recorded bringing the park inventory to six, including two prehistoric, each with a minor historic component, and 4 historic sites. Prehistoric sites 41 JA7 and 41 JA8 are sparse lithic scatters located on upland shoulder slopes; no temporally or culturally diagnostic artifacts were recovered. Historic site, 41 JA9, is a modern trash dump dating to between 1920 and 1950. 41JA10, an historic house which is currently serving as the park superintendent's residence, was constructed in the 1850s and may be the oldest occupied domicile on TPWD lands. In addition to the survey, two specific management issues were addressed. Backhoe trenching of a turn-of-the-century railroad berm confirmed that fill from the fort grounds was used in construction. Secondly, an attempt to relocate foundations of fort stables through surface reconnaisance and measurements taken from historic documents indicates that the remnants were destroyed by construction of the railroad berm. Recommendations for further work are: removal of trash from sinkholes with care given to preserving historically important artifacts; an architectural assessment of 41JA10, the superintendent's home, to determine its significance by National Register of Historic Places criteria; and, if warranted by future development, removal of the railroad berm to enable reconstruction of the Fort stables in their original location. Neither of the prehistoric components recorded during this survey merit special designation as State Archeological Landmarks and the historic house site, 41 JA6, is not considered to hold potential for the NRHP or SAL. However, clearing of the sinkholes may expose subsurface deposits that warrant reassessment of their SAL status.

Download or read book The Old Army in Texas written by Thomas Ty Smith and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-27 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Old Army in Texas, U.S. Army officer and historian Thomas "Ty" Smith presents a comprehensive and authoritative single-source reference for the activities of the regular army in the Lone Star State during the nineteenth century. Beginning with a series of maps that sketch the evolution of fort locations on the frontier, Smith furnishes an overview with his introductory essay, "U.S. Army Combat Operations in the Indian Wars of Texas, 1849–1881." Reprinted from the Southwestern Historical Quarterly, Smith's essay breaks new ground in an innovative analysis of the characteristics of army tactical methods and the nature of combat on the Texas frontier, introducing a unique historical model and methodology to examine the army-Indians conflicts. The second part of this guide, "Commanders and Organization, Department of Texas, 1848–1900," lists the departmental commanders, the location of the military headquarters, and the changes in the administrative organization and military titles for Texas. Part III, "U.S. Army Sites in Texas 1836–1900," provides a dictionary of 223 posts, forts, and camps in the state. It is the most extensive inventory published to date, including essential information on all of the major forts, as well as dozens of obscure sites such as Camp Las Laxas, Camp Ricketts, and Camp Lugubrious. The fourth part, "Post Garrisons, 1836–1900," gives a year by year snapshot of total army strength in the state, the regiments assigned, and the garrisons and commanders of each major fort and camp. Supplying the only such synopsis of its kind, the "Summary of U.S. Army Combat Actions in the Texas Indian Wars, 1849–1881," the guide's Part V, offers a chronological description of 224 U.S. Army combat actions in the Indian Wars with vivid details of each engagement. The 900 entries in the selected bibliography of Part VI are divided topically into sections on biographical sources and regimental histories, histories of forts, garrison life, civil-military relations, the Mexican War, and frontier operations. In addition to being a helpful catalog of standard histories, there are two important and unusual aspects to the bibliography. It contains a complete range of primary source microfilm material from the National Archives, including the roll numbers of specific periods of forts and units; and secondly, the bibliography integrates nearly all of the published archeological reports into the section on fort histories. The Old Army in Texas is an indispensable reference and research tool for students, scholars, and military history aficionados. It will be of great value to those interested in Texas history, especially military history and local and regional studies. This superb reference work is illustrated with a number of maps and rare photographs of the U.S. Army in nineteenth century Texas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Runner-up, 2019 Texas Old Missions and Forts Restoration Book Award, sponsored by the Texas Old Missions and Forts Restoration Association (TOMFRA) Most general histories of the Civil War pay scant attention to the many important military events that took place in the Lower Rio Grande Valley along the Texas-Mexico border. It was here, for example, that many of the South’s cotton exports, all-important to its funding for the war effort, were shuttled across the Rio Grande into Mexico for shipment to markets across the Atlantic. It was here that the Union blockade was felt perhaps most keenly. And it was here where longstanding cross-border rivalries and shifting political fortunes on both sides of the river made for a constant undercurrent of intrigue. And yet, most accounts of this long and bloody conflict give short shrift to the complexities of the ethnic tensions, political maneuvering, and international diplomacy that vividly colored the Civil War in this region. Now, Christopher L. Miller, Russell K. Skowronek, and Roseann Bacha-Garza have woven together the history and archaeology of the Lower Rio Grande Valley into a densely illustrated travel guide featuring important historical and military sites of the Civil War period. Blue and Gray on the Border integrates the sites, colorful personalities, cross-border conflicts, and intriguing historical vignettes that outline the story of the Civil War along the Texas-Mexico border. This resource-packed book will aid heritage travelers, students, and history buffs in their discovery of the rich history of the Civil War in the Rio Grande Valley.
