Extractions: A Newsletter of Eagles Byte Historical Research October 1997 No. 24 In its article on Argentina the Worldmark Encyclopedia of the Nations states, "During the colonial period, there was little interest in Argentina." Maybe in the grand schemes of that era relatively little interest was given to the region that would become Latin America's second largest nation. But the nations of Europe weren't ignoring Argentina entirely. Spain obviously had firsthand involvement. Portugal coveted the area. There was at least one Frenchman residing in Buenos Aires. And two courts-martial related to Argentina occupied London courts. Even Haiti had its effect on events. When it overthrew its rulers in 1804, following the example of the United States, France became the second European nation to lose a New World colony. Ordinarily Portugal and Spain would have been concerned over their own colonies, but they had other worries as an ambitious Napoleon Bonaparte occupied the Iberian Peninsula in 1807 and 1808. England would now be concentrating on driving the Corsican out of the Peninsula. Some of their officers had just been practicing their own brand of point-of-a-gun diplomacy on the other side of the Atlantic in 1806 and 1807. And there's also that one Frenchman!

Extractions: A Newsletter of Eagles Byte Historical Research Reviewing the massive historical novel Anthony Adverse in 1933, K. D. B., the critic for the Boston Transcript , wrote, "Many characters loom out clear and vivid and convincing," then added the caveat, " . . . Anthony himself never quite takes flesh." And the same might be said for his creator, William Hervey Allen, Jr., better known as Hervey Allen. Somehow the mantle of legend (or even anecdote) that settled over contemporaries like Ernest Hemingway, Thomas Wolfe and F. Scott Fitzgerald, never fell on Allen's shoulders. There's another similarity between author and character - they were all over the map. Born December 8, 1889, Hervey Allen spent his boyhood in the shadow of the steel mills of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His father was the inventor of an automatic blast furnace stoker; the family must have been fairly well off. The sources I consulted don't say. We next come across Allen in 1910, when he entered the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. Injured while participating in track, he was given an honorable discharge and went on to study at the University of Pittsburgh, earning his bachelor's degree in 1915. After working for Bell Telephone for a few months he quit to join the Pennsylvania National Guard. Fred G. Miller had founded company G, second regiment United Boys Brigade of America, in Pittsburgh, in 1901. In 1903 it became a Signal Company and on September 12, 1908 it became Company A, Signal Corps, Pennsylvania National Guard. Miller was named its first company commander. Allen joined the Guard in 1916 and was commissioned a second lieutenant. At this time the bandit Poncho Villa began a series of raids across the U. S.-Mexican border and on June 29th Miller's command was posted to the boundary area near El Paso, Texas, where it served until January 18 th of the following year. Allen and his fellow guardsmen found themselves rather bored during this period (that would soon change). It was during this tedium that Allen began to emerge as something of a poet. He began recounting his military experiences in a series of poems, written in a Kiplingesque style, which he sold, in pamphlet form, to fellow soldiers in National Guard camps along the border, under the portmanteau title

Currently, Chapter 6 is roughly complete; Chapter 2 has all its documents but needs more introduction; and Chapters 1, 2 and 8 have a few documents. Links to these texts are provided below. For Chapter 2 and 6, there are also links to Microsoft Word 6.0 files in which the same material is presented in a book-like format, suitable for printing out. In addition to texts, a few photographs and documents have been scanned, and links have been provided below. First, a Note on the Transcriptions describes what I've done to the texts to get them from the page to the Web. These are outline genealogies, with dates of birth and death and names of spouses, but no other information about individuals. If you have information that ought to be here, please let me know!

Extractions: Odds and Ends on the War Best Generals 1. Robert E. Lee- Without him the Confederacy doesn't last as long as it did. Simply the best tactician in the war. 2. U.S. Grant- A very solid Union general who knew what it took for the North to finally defeat Lee. 3. Stonewall Jackson- Perhaps the war's smartest general. His Valley Campaign in 1862 set-up Lee's initiative that summer which almost led to indepedence. 4. William Sherman- His advance on Atlanta in 1864 was a work of art that eventually ended with his armies capturing the city without launching bloody attacks. 5. Nathan Bedford Forrest- The best and most pure cavalry general of the war. Without the advantage of formal military education he went on to become the most feared man by the Federals in the Western Theater. War's Worst Generals 1. John Bell Hood- His disasters at Atlanta, Franklin, and Nashville shortened the life expectancy of the Confederacy. What's even worse is he blamed everybody else for his mistakes. 2. Don Carlos Buell- The worst the North had. Bragg stole a march on this guy for Christ's sake! Perryville was a disaster for his career, which was fortunately ended after Bragg retreated into Tennessee.

Extractions: Theala Sildorian is in real life Amy Crittenden. She is my Net alter egomany people on the Net at first thought it was my real name, hence I now tend to use both simultaneously. Amy Gray Crittenden in real life is an Emergency Room nurse, currently living in Chico, CA. She was born in Washington, DC and grew up in Southern Maryland. She graduated Thomas Stone High School in 1983. She studied Practical Nursing at the Charles County Community College, and became an LPN in 1985 (Licensed Practical Nurse). That same year she moved to Salisbury, MD to finish her nursing education, but changed majors to History, earning a BA in History in 1988, and a Master's in History in 1991 from Salisbury State University. During that time she split time working as a nurse and working for the Research Center for Delmarva History and Culture as a graduate assistant. In 1991 I finished my Master's Thesis, Southern Sympathies: the Eastern Shore of Maryland during the Civil War. After graduation, however, I continued working as a nurse. In 1997, I graduated from Wor-Wic Community College with my Associate Degree in Nursing and passed the RN boards. In 1998 I moved to North Dakota to finish a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, graduating from Minot State University in 2000. I then took a job with a traveling nursing company and moved to California, living in the Bay Area briefly before moving to Chico in late 2000.

(http://www.shout.net/~bigred/Neff.htm) Readers may be familiar with the system of fiat money, known as "Greenbacks", inaugurated during Lincoln's presidency. According to a hard-to-obtain book, Lincoln: Money Martyred (Omni Publications, first published in 1935; latest reprint 1989), Lincoln and his Treasury Secretary tried to obtain loans from New York bankers to finance the Union war effort. Terms offered for the loans were a usurious 24 to 36 percent interest. Indignant, Lincoln refused the loans. Pondering what to do, the president reportedly was advised by a close friend to get Congress to authorize the printing of "legal tender" treasury notes greenbacks. There is some debate over whether the greenbacks worked as reliable money. The author of
