October 18, 1770: The Cherokee Indians sign the Treaty of Lochobar, moving the Virginia boundary line further west.[9] Treaty of Lochaber with the British Indian Superintendent, ceding land in the later states of Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky.[10]

Treaty of Lochaber

Following the Treaty of Fort Stanwix in November of 1768, which established the boundary lines to the north of Virginia, Lord Shelburne in London was anxious to settle disputes along the western frontier in order to avoid more conflict with the Native Americans. This led to the Treaty of Lochaber which was signed in South Carolina on October 18, 1770 by British representative John Stuart and the Cherokees. Based on the terms of the accord, the Cherokee relinquished all claims to property from the North Carolina and Virginia border to a point six miles east of Long Island of the Holston River in present-day Kingsport, TN to the mouth of the Kanawha River at present-day Point Pleasant, West Virginia in Mason County. The North Carolina-Virginia border at this time was along the 36° 30' parallel in present-day Tennessee. The south fork of the Holston River was agreed to become the southern bounds due to settler's confusion of where the parallel ran. Therefore, "North of the Holston" settlers were considered outside of the Cherokee lands.[1] In this treaty, the Cherokee surrendered their rights to the remaining land in present-day southern West Virginia not included in the Treaty of Hard Labour in October of 1768.[11]

October 18, 1820: Treaty of Doak's Stand





The approximate ceded areas shaded in orange and green in relation to the future U.S. states of Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma.

The Treaty of Doak's Stand (7 Stat. 210, also known as Treaty with the Choctaw) was signed on October 18, 1820 (proclaimed on January 8, 1821) between the United States and the Choctaw Indian tribe. Based on the terms of the accord, the Choctaw agreed to give up approximately one-half of their remaining Choctaw homeland. In October 1820, Andrew Jackson and Thomas Hinds were sent as commissioners who represented the United States to negotiate a treaty to surrender a portion of Choctaw country in Mississippi. They met with tribal representatives at Doak's Stand on the Natchez Trace. They met with the chiefs Pushmataha, Mushulatubbee, and Apuckshunubbee, who represented the three major regional divisions of the Choctaw. Chiefs of the towns and other prominent men accompanied them, such as Colonel Silas Dinsmore.

Dinsmore was a former US Indian agent to the Choctaw; his passport ruling in 1812 had stirred a brief controversy with Jackson. Dinsmore was at the negotiations to settle a land claim; he believed the policy of the American government toward the Indian tribes was a harsh one. His attitude suggested a potential confrontation, but Jackson paid no attention to him.[1]

The convention began on October 10 with a talk by Jackson (whom the Choctaw nicknamed Sharp Knife), to more than 500 Choctaw. After his proposal to exchange Choctaw land for territory in present-day Arkansas, Pushmataha accused Jackson of deceiving them of the quality of land west of the Mississippi. Pushmataha said, "I know the country well ... The grass is everywhere very short ... There are but few beavers, and the honey and fruit are rare things." Jackson finally resorted to threats to pressure the Choctaw to sign a treaty. He shouted, "Many of your nation are already beyond the Mississippi, and others are every year removing .... If you refuse ... the nation will be destroyed." On October 18, 1820, the chiefs signed the treaty.[1]

Article IV prepared the Choctaws to become citizens of the United States when he or she became acculturated. This article would later influence Article XIV in the 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek.


“

ART. IV. The boundaries hereby established between the Choctaw Indians and the United States, on this side of the Mississippi river, shall remain without alteration until the period at which said nation shall become so civilized and enlightened as to be made citizens of the United States, and Congress shall lay of a limited parcel of land for the benefit of each family or individual in the nation. ...

”

And whereas it is desirable to the state of Mississippi, to obtain a small part of the land belonging to said nation; for the mutual accommodation of the parties, and for securing the happiness and protection of the whole Choctaw nation, as well as preserving that harmony and friendship which so happily subsists between them and the United States, James Monroe, President of the United States of America, by Andrew Jackson, of the State of Tennessee, Major General in the Army of the United States, and General Thomas Hinds, of the State of Mississippi, Commissioners Plenipotentiary of the United States, on the one part, and the Mingoes, Head Men, and Warriors, of the Choctaw nation, in full Council assembled, on the other part,: have freely and voluntarily entered into the following articles, viz ...

October 1836: Robert E. Lee was promoted to first lieutenant.[38]Lee served as an assistant in the chief engineer's office in Washington, D.C. from 1834 to 1837, but spent the summer of 1835 helping to lay out the state line between Ohio and Michigan. As a first lieutenant of engineers in 1837, he supervised the engineering work for St. Louis harbor and for the upper Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Among his projects was mapping the Des Moines Rapids on the Mississippi above Keokuk, Iowa, where the Mississippi's mean depth of 2.4 feet (0.7 m) was the upper limit of steamboat traffic on the river. His work there earned him a promotion to captain. Around 1842, Captain Robert E. Lee arrived as Fort Hamilton's post engineer.[39]

Marriage and family





Robert E. Lee, around age 38, and his son William Henry Fitzhugh Lee, around age 8, c.1845

While he was stationed at Fort Monroe, he married Mary Anna Randolph Custis (1808–73), great-granddaughter of Martha Washington by her first husband Daniel Parke Custis, and step-great-granddaughter of George Washington, the first president of the United States. Among his wife's ancestors were Charles II through Lady Charlotte Lee and (as supposed) of George I from Melusina von der Schulenburg, an illegitimate daughter of George I who may have been the mother of Henry Swingate Calvert, illegitimate son by the 5th Baron Calvert whose daughter Eleanor Calvert married George Washington's step-son, John Parke Custis. Mary was the only surviving child of George Washington Parke Custis, George Washington's stepgrandson, and Mary Lee Fitzhugh Custis, daughter of William Fitzhugh[40] and Ann Bolling Randolph. [32]

Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation is a work of speculative natural history and philosophy published anonymously in England in 1844. It brought together various ideas of stellar evolution with the progressive transmutation of species in an accessible narrative which tied together numerous scientific theories of the age.

Vestiges was initially well received by polite Victorian society and became an international bestseller, but its unorthodox themes contradicted the natural theology fashionable at the time and were reviled by clergymen – and subsequently by scientists who readily found fault with its amateurish deficiencies. The ideas in the book were favoured by Radicals, but its presentation remained popular with a much wider public. Prince Albert read it aloud to Queen Victoria in 1845. Vestiges caused a shift in popular opinion which – Charles Darwin believed – prepared the public mind for the scientific theories of evolution by natural selection which followed from the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859.

For decades there was speculation about its authorship. The 12th edition, published in 1884, revealed officially that the author was Robert Chambers, a Scottish journalist, who had written the book in St Andrews between 1841 and 1844 while recovering from a psychiatric illness.[1] Originally, Chambers had proposed the title The Natural History of Creation, but friends persuaded him to revise the title in deference to the Scottish geologist James Hutton, who had remarked of the timeless aspect of geology: "no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end". Some of the inspiration for the work derived from the Edinburgh Phrenological Society whose influence reached a climax between 1825 and 1840. George Combe, the leading proponent of phrenological thinking, had published his influential The Constitution of Man in 1828. Chambers was closely involved with Combe's associates William A.F. Browne and Hewett Cottrell Watson who did much to spell out the materialist theory of the mind. Chambers died in 1871 and is buried in the grounds of St Andrews Cathedral, within the ancient chapel of St Regulus.



Publication

The book was published by the medical publisher John Churchill in London and great pains were undertaken to secure the secret of the authorship. After Robert Chambers completed each section of the manuscript, his wife would transcribe it. Because Chambers was already a well-known author, this precaution would prevent anyone from recognizing his handwriting. This copy would then be transferred into the hands of Chambers's friend Alexander Ireland. Because Ireland lived in Manchester, this would hide the fact that the manuscripts originated from Scotland. Ireland would then deliver the manuscript to the publisher. Proofs were delivered by the printer--a Mr. Savill--back to Ireland, who would then forward them to Chambers, and the process would repeat itself. Because of these measures, the publisher and printer remained clueless as to who the true author was. To further prevent the possibility of any unwanted revelations, Chambers disclosed the secret to only four people: his wife, his brother William, Ireland, and George Combe’s nephew, Robert Cox. All correspondence to and from Chambers passed through Ireland’s hands first, and all letters and manuscripts were dutifully transcribed in Mrs. Chambers’s hand.[2]

In October 1845 he wrote to his friend Charles Lyell that Segwick's review was a "grand piece of argument against mutability of species" which he had read with "fear & trembling," but had been "well pleased to find" that he had anticipated Sedgwick's objections and "had not overlooked any of the arguments".[36]

He read Explanations early in 1846 and thought "the spirit of [it], though not the facts, ought to shame Sedgwick", while noting speculation and evidence suggesting that Chambers had written the books.[37] [34]

October 1854: Sen. Stephen A. Douglas and former Illinois Congressman Abraham Lincoln aired their disagreement over the Kansas–Nebraska Act in seven public speeches during September and October 1854.[42] [35]

October 1857: The Lecompton Constitutional Convention met that fall in this same second-floor assembly room. The purpose of the convention was to draft a constitution to gain statehood for Kansas. Newspaper correspondents from across the country gathered to report on the meetings. Many Americans feared a national civil war if the convention could not satisfy both pro slavery and antislavery forces. Regrettably, compromise proved impossible because pro slavery men dominated the convention. They created a document that protected slavery no matter how the people of Kansas Territory voted. This was intolerable for their antislavery opponents, who refused to participate in what they considered to be an illegal government. Eventually the Lecompton Constitution was defeated at the national level. It never went into effect.

Instead, free-state forces rallied their supporters. They gained control of the territorial legislature in the October 1857 election. Two months later this new legislature was called into special session to deal with critical territorial problems. They met in the same Lecompton assembly hall that their political enemies had controlled only a few weeks before. Here they began to reform the laws of Kansas Territory according to their own beliefs. That work continued during later legislative sessions. In 1858 the assembly was moved from the pro slavery capital of Lecompton to the free-state town of Lawrence.

Lecompton Constitution





Stephen A. Douglas broke with the Democratic party leadership over the Lecompton Constitution.

The Lecompton Constitution was the second of four proposed constitutions for the state of Kansas (it was preceded by the Topeka Constitution and was followed by the Leavenworth and Wyandotte Constitutions, the Wyandotte becoming the Kansas state constitution).[1] The document was written in response to the anti-slavery position of the 1855 Topeka Constitution of James H. Lane and other free-state advocates.[1] The territorial legislature, consisting mostly of slave-owners, met at the designated capital of Lecompton in September 1857 to produce a rival document.[1] Free-state supporters, who comprised a large majority of actual settlers, boycotted the vote. President James Buchanan's appointee as territorial governor of Kansas, Robert J. Walker, although a strong defender of slavery, opposed the blatant injustice of the Constitution and resigned rather than implement it.[2] This new constitution enshrined slavery in the proposed state and protected the rights of slaveholders. In addition, the constitution provided for a referendum that allowed voters the choice of allowing more slaves to enter the territory.

Both the Topeka and Lecompton constitutions were placed before the people of the Kansas Territory for a vote, and both votes were boycotted by supporters of the opposing faction. In the case of Lecompton, however, the vote was boiled down to a single issue, expressed on the ballot as "Constitution with Slavery" v. "Constitution with no Slavery." But the "Constitution with no Slavery" clause would have not made Kansas a free state; it merely would have banned future importation of slaves into Kansas (something deemed by many as unenforceable). Boycotted by free-soilers, the referendum suffered from serious voting irregularities, with over half the 6,000 votes deemed fraudulent.[3] Nevertheless, both it and the Topeka Constitution were sent to Washington for approval by Congress.

A vocal supporter of slaveholder rights, President Buchanan endorsed the Lecompton Constitution before Congress. While the president received the support of the Southern Democrats, many Northern Democrats, led by Stephen A. Douglas, sided with the Republicans in opposition to the constitution.[4] Douglas was helped considerably by the work of Thomas Ewing Jr., a noted Kansas Free State politician and lawyer, who led a legislative investigation in Kansas to uncover the fraudulent voting ballots. A new referendum over the fate of the Lecompton Constitution was proposed, even though this would delay Kansas's admission to the Union. Furthermore, a new constitution, the anti-slavery Leavenworth Constitution, was already being drafted.[1[36]

October 1859: John Brown led a band of 21 abolitionists who seized the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in October 1859, hoping to incite a slave rebellion. President James Buchanan gave Lee command of detachments of militia, soldiers, and United States Marines, to suppress the uprising and arrest its leaders.[58] By the time Lee arrived that night, the militia on the site had surrounded Brown and his hostages. At dawn, Brown refused the demand for surrender. Lee attacked, and Brown and his followers were captured after three minutes of fighting. Lee's summary report of the episode shows Lee believed it "was the attempt of a fanatic or madman". Lee said Brown achieved "temporary success" by creating panic and confusion and by "magnifying" the number of participants involved in the raid.[59]

Texas

In 1860, Lt. Col. Robert E. Lee relieved Major Heintzelman, Fort Brown, and the Mexican authorities offered to restrain "their citizens from making predatory descents upon the territory and people of Texas...this was the last active operation of the Cortina War".[60]:305–306 Rip Ford, Texas Rangers at the time, described Lee as, "dignified without hateur, grand without pride...he evinced an imperturbable self-possession, and a complete control of his passions...possessing the capacity to accomplish great ends and the gift of controlling and leading men."[60]:305[37]

April 1860 to October 1861: The Pony Express was a mail service crossing the Great Plaines and the Rocky mountains from St. Joseph, MO to Sacramento, CA from April 1860 to October 1861[38]



October 1862: Soon after returning to St. Louis, Mrs. Harvey came back to Wisconsin, where she did much to arouse enthusiasm among the women and to give direction to their work. In October 1862 she again revisted the hospitals, where she did all in her power to comfort the soldiers by writing to their friends and procuring discharges for those who were unfit for service.[39]



October 18 and 19, 1862: The Martinsburg B&O Railroad complex and Roundhouses were burned. [40]

October 1863: Sherman, Texas

Late in October 1863 Quantrill’s Raiders established their winter camp near Sherman, Texas. Sometime thereafter, Sim visited distant cousin Joseph Haden "Hade" Whitsett near Bonham, Texas. The connection between Sim and Hade Whitsett is vague. If they were related, the connection went back five or more generations. It may be that Sim learned of the Whitsetts living near Bonham after the raiders reached Texas, and paid them a visit to see if there was a family connection. It is also possible that Sim’s parents and Hade’s parents knew each other when they all lived in Kentucky before the 1830’s. One source indicates that Sim's grandfather James Whitsett and Hade's grandfather William Whitsett, both living in Kentucky at the time, served together during the War of 1812. There seems to be evidence to support this claim. It is also possible that Sim did know they were related through a great-great-grandfather. Some families then as well as today know because of family traditions of relationships going back many generations.

Quantrill brought to Sherman 400 undisciplined young men, many hardened by two years of bloody guerrilla war. Unlike regular army troops who can be kept busy with drills and army chores, there was little for the guerrillas to do in Texas. General Ben McCulloch of the Northern District of Texas at Bonham was officially in charge of Quantrill’s partisan rangers. McCulloch had no idea what to do with this bunch. McCulloch’s commanding officer suggested that he use them to clean up the Bushwhacker problem in McCulloch’s district. The problem Bushwhackers were Confederate deserters or outlaws who preyed on the civilian populace along the northern border. At first, it must have seemed a brilliant idea, set Bushwhackers to catch Bushwhackers. Quantrill sent 100 men after a group of the Bushwhackers near McKinney, Texas. They captured 43 of them and immediately hung them on the town square. Soon after, they ambushed and killed 30 more. McCulloch was horrified at the brutal approach Quantrill used in his new job. Quantrill did not take kindly to criticism and abruptly lost interest in solving McCulloch’s problems with Bushwhackers

Meanwhile, the guerrillas with little else to do began raising their own hell around Sherman. They engaged in rough and wild horse races and gambling. They got drunk almost every day and occasionally shot up the town. Quantrill may have been an expert at leading guerrillas in war but he was no disciplinarian and it was evident that he had lost what little control he had over his men. Rivalries between factions in Quantrill’s camp soon grew into bitter feuds. Worst of all, Quantrill’s followers began to fall away like leaves from a dying tree. Bill Anderson left Quantrill’s outfit with 65 of the most violent of the guerrillas. William Gregg left to join the regular army after his life was threatened by George Todd and two of Todd’s men. Others left because they became disillusioned with Quantrill and his motives, or because of shame and quilt over the Lawrence raid. Even Cole Younger left for New Mexico and California. This was the last time Cole Younger rode with Quantrill or actively participated in the Civil War. Other guerrillas simply left the camp in Texas and returned to Missouri.

Before long, robbery and murder was on the increase around Sherman and Quantrill’s band was suspected in much of the foul play. Things got so bad that General McCulloch ordered Quantrill arrested but Quantrill managed to escape. [41]

October 1863: Maximilian consented to accept the crown in October 1863 (Ferdinand Maximilian was not told of the dubious nature of the plebiscite,[citation needed] whose result was imposed by French troops occupying most of the territory[26]). His decision involved the loss of all his nobility rights in Austria, though he was not informed of this until just before he left. Archduchess Charlotte was thereafter known as "Her Imperial Majesty Empress Carlota".


October 1864: Civil War Action in Edinburg

1. Civil War Action in Edinburg Marker



During Maj. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's 1862 Valley campaign, Confederate Col. Turner Ashby's cavalry and Chew's Battery halted Union Maj Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks's steady advance southward. Ashby engaged Union forces 28 times in April along Stony Creek and the Valley Pike. Confederate guns located on Cemetery Hill to the southwest, dueled with Union batteries on Academy Hill directly across the center of Edinburg. In early October 1864, during their burning of the Shenandoah Valley, Maj. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan's troopers set the Edinburg Mill afire but extinguished it after two local girls protested.

October 1864: His son, 1st Lieutenant John Rodgers Meigs, was killed at Swift Run Gap in Virginia and was buried at a Georgetown Cemetery.[20] Lt. Meigs was part of a three-man patrol which ran into a three-man Confederate patrol. Lt. Meigs was killed, one man was captured, and one man escaped. To the end of his life, Meigs believed that his son had been murdered after being captured—despite evidence to the contrary.[21] The younger Meigs was laid to rest in Oak Hill Cemetery in Georgetown in Washington, D.C. Both Abraham Lincoln and Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton attended the interment.[22][43]

October 1864: Additional recently captured soldiers and transferred prisoneers from other areas increased the number held at the Salisbury Prison to 5,000 by October 1864.[44] Burials before the overcrowding had been in coffins and in separate graves. Records exist that indicate military burial services were even given. However, due to the large number of men dying daily after October 1864 a mass burial system was initiated. The bodies were collected daily and taken to the "dead house" to be counted and loaded onto a one-horse wagon. At 2:00 PM each day this wagon of the dead would be taken about 1/4 mile to an abandoned cornfield where the men were buried. Eighteen trenches of approximatley 240 feet each were eventually needed.

(William Harrison Goodlove Civil War Diary)[47]


October 1865: Robert E. Lee accepted an offer to serve as the president of Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) in Lexington, Virginia, and served from October 1865 until his death. The Trustees used his famous name in large-scale fund-raising appeals and Lee transformed Washington College into a leading Southern college expanding its offerings significantly and added programs in commerce, journalism, and law. Lee was well liked by the students, which enabled him to announce an "honor system" like West Point's, explaining "We have but one rule here, and it is that every student be a gentleman." To speed up national reconciliation Lee recruited students from the North and made certain they were well treated on campus and in town.[89]

Several glowing appraisals of Lee's tenure as college president have survived, depicting the dignity and respect he commanded among all. Previously, most students had been obliged to occupy the campus dormitories, while only the most mature were allowed to live off-campus. Lee quickly reversed this rule, requiring most students to board off-campus, and allowing only the most mature to live in the dorms as a mark of privilege; the results of this policy were considered a success. A typical account by a professor there states that "the students fairly worshipped him, and deeply dreaded his displeasure; yet so kind, affable, and gentle was he toward them that all loved to approach him... No student would have dared to violate General Lee's expressed wish or appeal; if he had done so, the students themselves would have driven him from the college." Elsewhere, the same professor recalls the following:

To a recalcitrant student, who was contending for what he thought his rights as a man, I once heard General Lee say: "Obedience to lawful authority is the foundation of manly character," in those very words.[90]

While at Washington College, Lee told a colleague that the greatest mistake of his life was taking a military education.[91] [48]

October 18, 1963 Lee Harvey Oswald’s twenty-fourth birthday. He celebrates it

at Ruth Paine’s home. By Marina’s account, it is one of the most pleasant nights of their family

life. LHO is happy and considerate of his pregnant wife, rubbing her ankles, and following her

around the house like a puppy dog at her beck and call. He seems enthusiastic about the future.

Marina dozes with her head in his lap as LHO watches two movies on television, both of them

involving assassinations. The movies are “Suddenly” - starring Frank Sinatra - and “We Were

Strangers” starring John Garfield.

Secretary of the Navy, Fred Korth, resigns at the Kennedy administration’s request,

allegedly because of an “indiscretion” involving Navy stationery. Korth is accused by members of

Congress with conflict of interest in ensuring that the TFX fighter plane will be developed by

General Dynamics. One of Bobby Baker’s associates, Donald Reynolds, later will tell Congress

of a $100,000.00 payoff involved in the contract award. Korth, also a Texan, is another LBJ friend.

Korth had been present at a June 1963 meeting when JFK decided to make the autumn trip to

Texas. Strangely, back in 1948, Korth had been the attorney for Edwin Ekdahl, Oswald’s

stepfather, in a divorce settlement with Marguerite Oswald.

In an interview with European journalists published in The Times of Vietnam today, Nhu

says: “People here are wondering what the United States is doing . . . People have lost confidence in the

United States.”

The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) office in Dallas, which has heard

about LHO’s Soviet Embassy contact through INS channels, relays the story to FBI agent James

Hosty. Eighteen days after the assassination, Hosty will be censured by J. E. Hoover for failing to properly

react to receipt of this information.

The FBI office in Mexico sends a cable to FBI HQS concerning LHO’s meeting with

Valery Kostikov at the Soviet embassy in Mexico City. The person who handles this cable at FBI

HQS is apparently Leonard M. Linton. Eighteen days after the assassination, J. E. Hoover directs that

censure be imposed on him “for delay in handling incoming 10/18/63 telegram from Mexico City and for

not putting subject on Security Index.” (PROBE Sept. - Oct. 1999) [60]

[12] (From River Clyde to Tymochtee and Col. William Crawford, by Grace U. Emahiser, 1969, page 119.)


[13] Dunmore had arrived at Fort Pitt about the end of August, and for several weeks was occupied in fruitless negotiations with the Delaware, Mingo, and Shawnee chiefs, the latter of whom were requested to meet him and make a treaty somewhere lower down the Ohio (Amer. Archives. 4th series, I, pp. 873-875. Accordingly the governor, with seven hundred men, set out in canoes, while five hundred more, under the command of Maj. William Crawford, marched by land where they arrived September 30 (Washington-Crawford Letters, pp. 54, 97). From this point Crawford marched to the mouth of Hockhocking, and crossing his forces began a small stockade named Fort Gower, in honor of the English earl of that name. This fort was on the upper or east side of the Hockhocking, quite near the junction of the two rivers. See Hildreth, Pioneer History of Ohio Valley (Cincinnati, 1848), p. 93. A few days later, (October 2) the remainder of the army arrived, under Denmore’s immediate command; but no Indians appeared, save White-Eyes, the friendly Delaware, and John Montour, the former of whom was sent with a message to the Shawnee. They soon returned, bringing word of the absence of their warriors, who “had gone to the Southward to speak with the army there.” October 10, the sound of musketry was heard at Fort Gower; and the following day Dunmore took up his march for the Indian towns, hoping to get between them and the warrior’s band. The army camped the first night at Federal, and the second at Sunday Creek, both in Athens County. At he third camp, near the village of Nelsonville, news was brought from Lewis of his victory which occasioned great joy among the troops. See Draper MSS., 3S5-17. Two days later, a messenger from Cornstalk appeared, suing for peace; but next day the army advanced to the bank of Scippo Creek, on what was later the Winship farm, in the southwest quarter of section twelve, township twelve, rangfe twenty-one where a rude camp was formed, named by the governor for the English queen, Camp Charlotte. The name was written with red chalk on a peeled sapling and placed in the centre of the enclosure. At Camp Charlotte, the negotiations with the Shawnee chiefs had made considerable progress, when the approach of Lewis’s army alarmed the Indians. Dunmore’s War by Thwaites and Kellog pg302


[14] In later years, Col. Andrew Lewi’s son wrote to Dr Campbell that his father was obliged to double or trebnle the guard around his tent, while the governor was present, in order to preserve him from the wrath of the backwoods soldiers, who were incensed at being turned back when in sight of their prey. See Va. Hist. Register, I, p. 32. Dunmore’s War by Thwaites and Kellog pg. 302.

[20] John Stephenson, born in Virginia (now Berkeley County) in c.1737, was one

of five Stephenson brothers, John, Hugh, Richard, James, and Marcus, halfbrothers

to William and Valentine Crawford. The father of the Crawford

boys having died when the sons were very young, the mother, nee Onora

Grimes, married Richard Stephenson. The seven sons were all very large,

athletic and vigorous, like the mother, who died in 1776. Thus Hugh, Valentine,

and the mother all died withinfive months, September, 1776 and January,

1777. Washington-Crawford Letters, 63, 11; Thwaites and Kellogg, Frontier Defense on the Upper Ohio, Madison (1912), 190; hereafter noted Thwaites,

Frontier Defense. Stephenson served in the French and Indian War and, about

1768, moved to Jacobs Creek, now Fayette County, Pa. He was visited by

Washington in 1770 (October 16). John C. Fitzpatrick, Diaries of G/orge

Washington, Boston and New York (1925), I409. In1774 Stephenson commanded

a company in Dunmore's War and was active in the Pennsylvania-

Virginia troubles on the Virginia side. In1775, he raised a company to serve

under the (Rev.) Colonel Peter Muhlenberg, the 8th Virginia, and was

at Charleston, S. C., and Savannah, Ga. In 1777, he retired in the fall on account

of ill health but served as a volunteer in Hand's 1778 campaign, and

commanded a regiment of militia in Mclntosh's expedition. About 1790 he

moved to the South Fork of the Licking in Kentucky, where he died. He

was known as a brave and popular commander and citizen. Thwaites and

[21] 8 John Evans was born in Loudoun County, Virginia, in 1738 and later settled on

Decker's Creek, Monongalia County, near present Morgantown, W. Va. He

was active in Virginia transactions relative to the organization of Monongalia

County from West Augusta District of Augusta County. He served on the

frontier as Colonel of Monongalia militia, 1777-1779, and in 1782 was made

County Lieutenant. He had correspondence with George Rogers Clark in

that capacity. Gwathmey, Historical Register of Virginians in the Revolution,

260. In 1778, he engaged in Mclntosh's expedition and, in 1779, was in

Brodhead's expedition up the Allegheny. He retired to his farm at 'Walnut

Hills," Monongalia County, where he died in 1834 at the age of 96. Kellogg,

[22] 9 Muskets could be loaded with loose powder from a powder horn, wad, and ball

(as were the rifles), or with cartridges, which saved much time in loading.

These were previously prepared by hand, by rolling a measured amount of

powder in paper with the ball in one end of the roll. The exact amount for

load plus priming was measured. The paper was then twisted and tied with

a thread to seal it. To load, the musketeer bit off the paper at the tied end

of the cartridge, and first, put a little powder in the priming pan, then poured

the powder down the barrel and rammed down the paper cartridge with the

ball on top of it, thus wadding simultaneously with seating the ball on the

charge. A soldier's face was soon blackened around his mouth from the black

powder in biting the cartridges; and the whole face was begrimed from the

powder flash in the pan. After an action it was difficult for friends to recognize

each other. The author can remember Civil War veterans commenting

upon this difficulty in recognition. For "the best mode of making cartridges,"

see An Easy Plan of Discipline for Militia, by Timothy Pickering, jun.,

Salem, New England: printed by Samuel and Ebenezer Hall, 1775, Chapter

I, Part I, p. 2-3; also Allen French, The Day of Concord and Lexington, 35.

After an action, one could tell the exact positions of opposing troops

from the ring, or line, of cartridge ends bitten off and lying upon the ground.

Major Ebenezer Denny, in his journal, Historical Society of Pennsylvania

Publications, Philadelphia (1860), p. 242, thus describes the scene: "About

a fortnight after the action [Greenspring, Virginia] Ivisited the field; could

trace plainly the ground occupied by both, from the tops of the cartridges

which lay in a line; the distance between about sixty paces."


[23] 10 Brigade Major or Major of Brigade. Refer to WPHM, XLII,301, note 69 of

the "Bouquet Orderly Book."

E. S. N. Campbell, A Dictionary of the Military Science, London, 1830,

p. 29. "An officer appointed to assist the General commanding a brigade in

all his duties. No officer under the rank of captain is eligible to hold this

situation; nor can effective Field Officers of Regiments be appointed Majors

of Brigade. [The restriction upon lieutenants holding the office did not hold

good in the American army for the obvious reason that the Americans were

under the necessity of using talent where they found it. A case in point was

the appointment of Lieutenant Alexander Graham as Brigade Major, see note

2 above.]"

Ibid., p. 135. "Major of Brigade is the channel through which all orders

are received and communicated to the troops; he is considered attached to

the Brigade, not personally to the Officer commanding it. He inspects all

Guards, Outposts, and Picquets, furnished by the Brigade, and is responsible

that they are withdrawn when the Brigade is to march. No person under the

rank of a General Officer, unless commanding a Brigade, the Adjutant General

excepted, has any right to give directions to the Major of Brigade on the

General Parade, or to interfere with any party he is parading, until the

Brigade Major delivers it over to the Officer who is to command it."

[46]The regiment belonged to the Fourth Brigade, Second Division. Nineteenth Army Corps, Breviet Major General Emeory commanding corps, Brigadier General Grover commanding division, and Colonel Shunk, Eighth Indiana Veteran Volunteers, commanding brigade. The brigade occupied the left of the second line, which was about two hundred paces in rear of the line of works occupied by the first line. The left of the brigade rested about two hundred yards to the right of the pike leading from Winchester to Stanton. The works in our front were occupied by the Third Brigade, Second Division, Nineteenth Army Corps with Battery D, First Rhode Island Artillery, near the pike on the left. The regiment occupied the right center of the brigade, with the Twenty-eighth Iowa on the left. The Eighth Corps, under command of Major General Crook, was posted on the left of the pike, and about three hundred paces to the front. The Sixth Corps was on the right of the Nineteenth, with its right thrown back toward Middletown, about one mile. Our teams parked about one mile In the rear. The enemy was in camp at Fisher’s Hill, come four miles to the front. In this position we rested on the evening of the 18th, not even suspecting our danger, or the Yankee trick that Early was going to play on us the next morning.

Soon after retiring to bed, Colonel Wilds, then in command of the regiment, received orders to have the men under arms at precisely 5 o’clock the next morning, as the first line was to make a reconnaissance to the front, and the Fourth Brigade was to move up to the works as soon as vacated.
