POSIE. was bustle and excitement in the little city by the sea. What did it all mean? thought little Paste. She had never before these last few weeks heard any thing of the outside world to understand, and there was little life in the town--one could walk the length and breadth of it some days and scarcely meet a soul, with the exception of the daily occupants of the old slave market. There, the loafers of the town would sit and lounge, or nap at intervals, waiting to enjoy the sea breeze as it came in with the tide. Posie was naturally a thoughtful little girl. $oth her father and mother had gone to the great world beyond; so her ideas of the outer world were above, and how to be good, so as to get there, too, for her ojd Mammy daily impressed it on her mind that the "blessed Master" only wanted the good with him, and would not receive the bad. She lived in an old-fashioned house; one of the best in those days for St. Augustine. It was ope of the first built by the Spaniards, over two centuries before; but had been so added to and changed, from time to time, that there was little more of the original left than the old coquina walls. The southern and western side abutted on the narrow street, and the overhanging piazza ran the entire length of the two sides, while a beautiful flower garden, filled with many of the semi-tropical shrubs and flowers, adorned the northern side. Through it ran cool walks, covered with tiny white shells from the beach, and shaded with sweet flowering trees, that filled the air with intoxicating fragrance. On the eastern side was the "yard; " there was the old coquina kitchen, with the fireplace almost the length of one side of the room. Here cord wood was laid on its immense andirons, where the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2021 New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards (History, Arizona | 2021 Military Writers Society of America Silver Medal for History | 2022 Will Rogers Medallion Award Bronze Winner for Western Non-Fiction When the U.S. Army ordered troops into Arizona Territory in the 19th century to protect and defend the new settlements established there, some of the military men brought their wives and families, particularly officers who might be stationed in the west for years. Most of the women were from refined, eastern-bred families with little knowledge of the territory they were entering. Their letters, diaries, and journals from their years on army posts reveal untold hardships and challenges faced by families on the frontier. These women were bold, brave, and compassionate. They were an integral part of military posts that peppered the West and played an important role in civilizing the Arizona frontier. Combining the words of these women with original research tracing their movements from camp to camp over the years they spent in the West, this collectionexplores the tragedies and triumphs they experienced.
Download or read book Women of Empire written by Verity McInnis and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his Rules for Wife Behavior, Colonel Joseph Whistler summed up his expectations for his new bride: “You will remember you are not in command of anything except the cook.” Although their roles were circumscribed, the wives of army officers stationed in British India and the U.S. West commanded considerable influence, as Verity McInnis reveals in this comparative study of two female populations in two global locations. Women of Empire adds a previously unexplored dimension to our understanding of the connections between gender and imperialism in the nineteenth century. McInnis examines the intersections of class, race, and gender to reveal social spaces where female identity and power were both contested and constructed. Officers’ wives often possessed the authority to direct and maintain the social, cultural, and political ambitions of empire. By transferring and adapting white middle-class cultural values and customs to military installations, they created a new social reality—one that restructured traditional boundaries. In both the British and American territorial holdings, McInnis shows, military wives held pivotal roles, creating and controlling the processes that upheld national aims. In so doing, these women feminized formal and informal military practices in ways that strengthened their own status and identities. Despite the differences between rigid British social practices and their less formal American counterparts, military women in India and the U.S. West followed similar trajectories as they designed and maintained their imperial identity. Redefining the officer’s wife as a power holder and an active contributor to national prestige, Women of Empire opens a new, nuanced perspective on the colonial experience—and on the complex nexus of gender, race, and imperial practice.

Download or read book The View from Officers Row written by Sherry L. Smith and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 1990-02-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Choice Outstanding Academic Title Capturing military men in contemplation rather than combat, Sherry L. Smith reveals American army officers' views about the Indians against whom they fought in the last half of the nineteenth century. She demonstrates that these officers—and their wives—did not share a monolithic, negative view of their enemies, but instead often developed a great respect for Indians and their cultures. Some officers even came to question Indian policy, expressed misgivings about their personal involvement in the Indian Wars, and openly sympathized with their foe. The book reviews the period 1848–1890—from the acquisition of the Mexican Cession to the Battle of Wounded Knee—and encompasses the entire trans-Mississippi West. Resting primarily on personal documents drawn from a representative sample of the officer corps at all levels, the study seeks to juxtapose the opinions of high-ranking officers with those of officers of lesser prominence, who were perhaps less inclined to express personal opinions in official reports. No educated segment of American society had more prolonged contact with Indians than did army officers and their wives, yet not until now has such an overview of their attitudes been presented. Smith's work demolishes the stereotype of the Indian-hating officer and broadens our understanding of the role of the army in the American West.
