The predominant\npart played in the prosecution of the war by Great Britain and the\nBritish Empire will entitle them to an equally decisive voice in the\ncouncils of the Peace Conference. That proud position carries with it a\nsupreme privilege as well as a heavy moral responsibility. That the\nvoice and weight of Britain and Greater Britain will be cast, on all\noccasions, on the side of justice and liberty, there cannot be the\nslightest doubt. But however just and fair-minded a judge may be, it is\nimpossible for him to dispense justice without hearing all sides of the\ncase before him.\nThat is my plea for placing this statement of the cause of my afflicted\ncountry before the British public, confident that, with its inherent\nlove of fair play, it will give my pleading a fair hearing.\nI am anxious to make one point clear. I hold no authority and claim no\nright whatever to speak for the nation or any national or local\norganization of any kind. The views set forth in this little volume are\nthe views of an individual Armenian who feels, as do no doubt all his\ncompatriots, that the Armenian blood that has flowed so freely in this\nwar, imposes upon every living Armenian the sacred duty of employing all\nlegitimate means in his power to secure to the survivors the justice and\nreparation to which their numerous fallen relatives have given them an\noverwhelming and indisputable title. They are my views, and the\nresponsibility for them rests on myself and myself alone.\nI have stated my views frankly. One or two of my friends were kind\nenough to express the opinion that that might injure our cause. While I\nappreciate their interest and solicitude, I do not share their fears. I\nam convinced that the truth can never be unpopular with the British\npublic or prejudice a good cause.\nI have, of necessity, had to quote freely from many sources, and I take\nthis opportunity to express my apologies and indebtedness to the\nauthorities quoted, in particular to Lord Bryce and Mr. Arnold J.\nToynbee for very kindly permitting me to quote extracts from the Blue\nBook.\nA. P. HACOBIAN.\n_London,\nFebruary, 1917._\nPREFACE\nOf all the peoples upon whom this war has brought calamity and\nsuffering, the Armenian people have had the most to endure. Great as has\nbeen the misery inflicted by the invaders upon the non-combatant\npopulations of Belgium and Northern France, upon Poland, upon Serbia,\nthe misery of Armenia, though far less known to the outer world, has\nbeen far more terrible.\nWhen the European War broke out, in 1914, the Government of the Turkish\nEmpire had fallen into the hands of a small gang of unscrupulous\nruffians calling themselves the Committee of Union and Progress, who\nwere ruling through their command of the army, but in the name of the\nharmless and imbecile Sultan. By means which have not been fully\ndisclosed, but the nature of which can be easily conjectured, this gang\nwere won over to serve the interests of Germany; and at Germany's\nbidding they declared war against the Western Allies, thus dragging all\nthe subjects of Turkey, Muslim and Christian, into a conflict with which\nthey had no concern. The Armenian Christians scattered through the\nAsiatic part of the Turkish dominions, having had melancholy experience\nin the Adana massacres some years previously of what cruelties the\nruling gang were capable of perpetrating, were careful to remain quiet,\nand to furnish no pretext to the Turkish authorities for an attack upon\nthem. But the rulers of Turkey showed that they did not need a pretext\nfor the execution of the nefarious purposes they cherished. They had\nformed a design for the extermination of the non-Mohammedan elements in\nthe population of Asiatic Turkey, in order to make what they called a\nhomogeneous nation, consisting of Mohammedans only. The wickedness of\nsuch a design was equalled only by its blind folly, for the Christian\nArmenians of Asia Minor and the north-eastern provinces constituted the\nmost industrious, the most intelligent, and the best-educated part of\nthe population. Most of the traders and merchants, nearly all the\nskilled artisans, were Armenians, and to destroy them was to destroy the\nchief industrial asset which these regions possessed. However, this was\nthe plan of the Committee of Union and Progress, and as soon as they\nbegan to feel, in the spring of 1915, that the Allied expedition against\nthe Dardanelles was not likely to succeed, they proceeded to execute it.\nThey first disarmed all the Armenians in order to have them at their\nmercy; and in some cases, in order to make it appear that the Armenians\nwere intending to take up arms, they actually sent weapons into the\ntowns and then had them seized as evidence against the Christians. When\nsuch arms as the Christians possessed had been secured, orders for\nmassacre were issued from Constantinople to the local governors. The\nwhole Armenian population was seized. The grown men were slaughtered\nwithout mercy. The younger women were sold in the market place to the\nhighest bidder, or appropriated by Turkish military officers and civil\nofficials to become slaves in Turkish harems. The boys were handed over\nto dervishes to be carried off and brought up as Muslims. The rest of\nthe hapless victims, all the older men and women, the mothers and their\nbabes clinging to them, were torn from their homes and driven out along\nthe tracks which led into the desert region of northern Syria and\nArabia. Most of them perished on the way from hardships, from disease,\nfrom starvation. A few were still surviving some months ago near Aleppo\nand along the banks of the Euphrates. Many, probably thousands, were\ndrowned in that river and its tributaries, martyrs to their Christian\nfaith, which they had refused to renounce; for it was generally possible\nfor women, and sometimes for men, to save themselves by accepting\nMohammedanism. By these various methods hundreds of thousands--the\nnumber is variously estimated at from 500,000 to 800,000--have perished.\nAnd all this was done with the tacit acquiescence of the German\nGovernment, some of whose representatives on the spot are even said to\nhave encouraged the Turks in their work of slaughter, while the\nGovernment confined its action to propagating in Germany, so as to\ndeceive its own people, false stories which alleged that the Armenians\nhad been punished for insurrectionary movements.\nAll these facts, with many details too horrible to be repeated here, are\nset forth in the Blue Book recently published in England, containing\naccounts based upon incontrovertible evidence, and to which no reply has\nbeen made, though some denials, palpably false, have emanated from the\nTurkish gang, and some others from the German Government.\nThe victims who have thus been put to death, a large part of the whole\nArmenian people, belong to what is one of the oldest nations in the\nworld, which has been Christian and civilized ever since the third\ncentury of our era. If any people ever deserved the sympathy of the\ncivilized world, it is they who have clung to their faith and the\ntraditions of their ancient kingdom ever since that kingdom was\noverthrown by the Turkish invaders many centuries ago. They now appeal\nto the Allied Nations who are fighting the battle of Right and Humanity\nagainst the German Government and its barbarous Turkish allies, asking\nthat when the end of the war comes their case may be considered and\nthey may be for ever delivered from the Turkish yoke. Nowhere is their\nhard case better known than in the United States, for it is the American\nmissionaries who have, by their admirable schools and colleges planted\nin many cities of Asiatic Turkey, done more for them than any other\ncountry has done, giving them light, consolation and sympathy.\nThe author of this little book is an Armenian gentleman belonging to a\nfamily originally from Ispahan in Persia, but now settled in England. He\nspeaks with intimate knowledge as well as with patriotic feeling, and\nstates the case of his countrymen with a moderation well fitted to\ninspire confidence. Upon the arguments he puts forward I do not venture\nto express any opinion in detail. But those who know something of\nAsiatic Turkey will recognize with him that the Armenians are, by their\nintelligence and their irrepressible energy, the race best fitted to\nrestore prosperity to regions desolated by Turkish oppression. The\neducated Armenians, notwithstanding all they have suffered, are abreast\nof the modern world of civilization. Among them are many men of science\nand learning, as well as artists and poets. They are scattered in many\nlands. I have visited large Armenian colonies as far west as California,\nand there are others as far east as Rangoon. Many of the exiles would\nreturn to their ancient home if they could but be guaranteed that\nsecurity and peace which they have never had, and can never have, under\nthe rule of the Turk. May we not confidently hope that the Allied Powers\nwill find means for giving it to them at the end of this war, for\nextending to them that security which they have long desired and are\ncapable of using well?\nBRYCE.\nFOOTNOTE:\n[1] _After the massacres of 1895-1896, Lord Salisbury, who had himself\ntaken a prominent part in the consummation of the Treaty of Berlin and\nthe Cyprus Convention, frankly admitted the failure of the policy which\ngave birth to these treaties, and the futility of relying upon Turkish\npromises._\nCONTENTS\n I.

AN APPEAL TO THE COMING PEACE CONFERENCE 160\nARMENIA AND THE WAR\nI\n ARMENIA AS A WAR ISSUE--GREATEST SUFFERER FROM TURKO-PRUSSIAN\n \"FRIGHTFULNESS\"--EFFECT ON AMERICAN OPINION\nThe first official advance for peace made by Germany and her Allies,\nalthough couched in defiant and menacing terms, was nevertheless an\nunmistakable signal of distress, and has brought the world within\nmeasurable distance of that just and durable peace which the Allies have\nset out to achieve. The prospect of approaching peace has set on foot a\ngeneral reiteration of the issues at stake, and consideration of the\nterms and problems of peace. Public attention in this country will\nnaturally be occupied, in the first place, with the momentous issues and\ninterests of the United Kingdom, the British Empire and her Allies\nraised by the war and to be settled and secured by the impending peace.\nIt will therefore, I hope, not be considered amiss or premature for a\nmember of one of those small and oppressed peoples engulfed in the\nvortex of the war who look to Great Britain and her Allies for\ndeliverance, reparation and the security of their future liberty, to put\nbefore the British public his views, as well as facts and arguments that\nmay be of some service in enabling it to form a just estimate of the\nclaims and merits of one of the smaller problems which run the risk of\nnot receiving a full hearing at the Peace Conference, in the presence of\na multitude of larger and more important questions.\nThe item in the Allied peace terms stated in their reply to President\nWilson's note, \"the setting free of the populations subject to the\nbloody tyranny of the Turks,\" is the bearer to Armenians of a message of\ncomfort and hope. It heralds the dawn of a new day that will mark the\nend of the long and hideous nightmare of Turkish tyranny.\nIf President Wilson, the American people, or other neutrals were in\nsearch of evidence that would prove to them conclusively which of the\ntwo groups of belligerents is sincere in its professions of regard for\n\"the rights and privileges of weak peoples and small states\"; if Belgium\nhad not been violated and ravaged; if the _Lusitania_ and so many\nhospital ships, liners and merchantmen had not been sunk without any\ncare as to the fate of the wounded, the children and women, the\nnon-combatant men and crews; if Zeppelins had not spread death and\ndestruction among women and children in their homes in the night; if all\nthese and so many other outrages had not been committed, and there had\nbeen, in the whole course of the war, no other act of the Quadruple\nAlliance in any degree contrary to the laws and usages of civilized\nwarfare and dictates of humanity, the single word ARMENIA would provide\nthat proof--a crushing, monumental proof--as to who is and who is not\nsincere in the professions of regard for right, justice and humanity.\nThe spirit of desolated Armenia stands at the head of the phantom\nspirits of outraged humanity, which must rise and shatter to atoms\nevery mask of benevolence, righteousness and injured innocence that the\nprotagonists of \"frightfulness\" may assume for the deception of their\nown peoples and neutrals.\nBut in the United States at least there is no need for any fresh proof\nor explanation of the issue at this stage, and the martyrdom of Armenia\nhas contributed largely to that state of American opinion. I have little\ndoubt that President Wilson's Peace Note and speech to the Senate are\nthe first steps towards America casting her whole weight into the scale,\naiming at the realization of a just and lasting peace.\nThe intense interest evinced by the people and Government of the United\nStates in the fate of Armenia and the Armenians is abundantly shown not\nonly by the generous gifts of money for the relief of the survivors and\nthe noble personal services by devoted missionaries and relief agents,\nsome of whom lost their lives in their work of mercy; but also by\ndiplomatic action on behalf of the Armenians in Constantinople (where\nMr. Morgenthau, to his great honour, struggled valiantly to stay the\nhand of the ruthless oppressor), and by the prominence given to any and\nevery scrap of news concerning the holocaust in Armenia. It is no\nexaggeration to say that, military operations apart, no incident of the\nwar, not excepting the violation and martyrdom of Belgium, has been\ngiven more space and prominence in the American Press than anything\nconnected with the martyrdom of Armenia and Syria and the relief of the\nrefugees and exiles.\nIn his reply to the Armenian deputation who on December 14, 1916,\npresented to him an illuminated parchment from the Catholicos expressing\nHis Holiness's gratitude and thanks to the American nation, President\nWilson said, _inter alia_--\n \"We have tried to do what was possible to save your people from the\n ravages of war. My great regret is, that we have been able to\n accomplish so little. There have been many suffering peoples as the\n result of that terrible struggle, and _the lot of none has touched\n the American heart more than the suffering of the Armenians_.\"[2]\nNothing in the war has brought home to the people of the United States\nthe moral issues of the war more strongly and vividly than the\nunprecedented barbarities committed by the Turks in their diabolical\nattempt to wipe out the Armenian race. No event of the war has been more\ndamaging to the Central Powers in the eyes of the United States. Here\nthey have seen the ruthless spirit of the twin enemies of humanity and\nliberty--the Turkish _yatagan_ supported by the Prussian jack-boot--in\nits hideous nakedness, at work in the depths of Asia, unrestrained and\nunperceived, as they thought, by the light of civilization.\nThis gospel of the jack-boot and the _yatagan_ will be best illustrated\nby putting side by side two quotations, one from the _Tanine_, the\nofficial organ of the Committee of Union and Progress in Constantinople,\nand the other from a statement made by Count Reventlow in October 1915.\nThe _Tanine_ \"invited the Government to exterminate or forcibly convert\nto Islam all Armenian women in Turkey as the only means of saving the\nOttoman Empire.\"[3] Count Reventlow, the high priest of the gospel of\nBrute Force and Militarism, writing in the _Tageszeitung_ in defence and\napproval of Turkey's appalling crime, said that it was the Ottoman\nGovernment's obvious right and duty to take the strongest repressive\nmeasures against \"the bloodthirsty Armenians\"--the measures advocated by\nthe _Tanine_, which were carried out by Count Reventlow's worthy allies\non the Bosphorus with a completeness and ferocity that must have greatly\npleased him.\nThe German Government and German apologists have made a great parade of\nthe use of Indian and African troops in Europe by the Allies. By all\nreports, these troops have fought as clean a fight as any troops in the\nwar. I think that in the judgment of future historians no incident of\nthis war, whose history is so heavily shadowed on one side with\noutrages and violations of the laws of civilized warfare, will meet with\nso strong a condemnation as Germany's alliance with the Young Turks, the\ndeclaration of a \"holy war\" at her behest, and its dire consequences for\nthe already sorely tried Christian subjects of the Turks. (It should be\nremembered that Germany and Austria are signatories to the Treaty of\nBerlin, Art. 61 of which was to have brought about \"the improvements and\nreforms demanded by local requirements in the provinces inhabited by the\nArmenians,\" and to have \"guaranteed their security against the Kurds and\nCircassians.\" This point cannot be too strongly emphasized.) She could\nhave foreseen these consequences; and if she did not foresee them, she\ncould have stopped them when they made themselves apparent. Turkey's\nentry into the war placed her Christian subjects in a position of great\nperil, as it has been her custom to wreak upon them her vengeance for\ndefeats; while a state of war freed her from the moral restraint of\nEurope. It was hoped that German and Austrian influence would check\nthis tendency. How cruelly events have shattered that hope! They have\nproved that it was too much to expect humanity and the ordinary feelings\nof chivalry and compassion for the honour and suffering of women and\nchildren from the State policies of these great Christian Governments\nand the majority of their agents in Turkey. I do not believe that this\nungodly and inhuman policy has received general approbation either in\nGermany or Austria-Hungary. This is evident from the quotations from\nGerman missionary journals in the Blue-book on the \"Treatment of\nArmenians in the Ottoman Empire.\"[4] It is also proved by the protests\naddressed to the Imperial Chancellor by several Catholic and Protestant\norganizations.\nFOOTNOTES:\n[2] Quoted in _The New Armenia_ of New York, January 1, 1917. The\nitalics are mine.\n[3] Quoted in _Guerre Sociale_ (Paris), September 16, 1915.\n[4] _The Treatment of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire._ Documents\npresented to Viscount Grey of Fallodon, Secretary of State for Foreign\nAffairs, with a preface by Viscount Bryce (Hodder & Stoughton).\nII\n ARMENIA AND REPARATION--ARMENIA'S MARTYRDOM--CONDEMNATION AND\n DEMAND FOR REPARATION INADEQUATELY EXPRESSED\nThe Governments of the Allies have unanimously declared that peace is\nonly possible on the principles of adequate reparation for the past,\nadequate security for the future, and recognition of the principle of\nnationalities and of the free existence of small states.\n\"Reparation\" means no doubt in the first place reparation for the wanton\nand ruthless destruction of unoffending and defenceless civilian lives\nand property.\nIt is characteristic of the British sense of justice and fair play that\nBelgium, France and Serbia should be given the first place in their\ndemand for reparation, for, of course, there are the British victims of\n\"frightfulness,\" Zeppelin and submarine victims and the victims of\njudicial murders to be atoned for and recompensed.\nThis unanimous demand for reparation to the smaller nations for all they\nhave suffered as a result of the brutal and unscrupulous aggression of\ntheir more powerful neighbours, and their security and free development,\naugurs well for the future. It is an earnest given by the Entente Powers\nto the world, of the sincerity of their declarations regarding the\nunselfish, just and worthy objects which they entered the war to attain.\nI must be excused, however, if I confess to feeling not a little\nperplexity at the fact that, in discussing the peace terms, the great\norgans of British public opinion, with some notable exceptions,[5] have\nmade little or no reference to Armenia in the demand for penalties,\nreparation and redemption. This fact must have impressed Mr. Arthur\nHenderson, who, in his reference to Armenia quoted more fully elsewhere,\nremarked that \" ... Armenian atrocities _were not much talked about_\nhere ... etc.\" My anxiety will be understood when I point out that for\nus it is not a question of a little more or less territory, a little\nlarger or smaller indemnity. For us more than for any other race\ninvolved in the war it is a question of \"to be or not to be\" in a real\nand fateful sense: the rebirth of Armenian nationality from the\nprofusion of its lost blood and heaps of smouldering ashes, or the end\nof that long-cherished and bled-for aspiration, and the consummation of\nthe \"policy\" of Abdul Hamid and the Young Turks.\nThe first general discussion of the terms of peace has coincided with\nthe publication, as a Blue-book, of Lord Bryce's comprehensive\ndocumentary evidence on the attempt of the Turks to murder the Armenian\nnation in cold blood. I gratefully acknowledge the fact that many\nnewspapers wrote sympathetic editorial articles or reviews on the\nBlue-book, emphasizing, with incontestable force, that this conclusive\nevidence of the abominable crimes committed by the Turks in Armenia\nwithout any protest from official Germany, is a crushing reply to the\nGerman Chancellor's protestations of solicitude for humanity.\nBut, opportune as has been the immediate effect of this fresh evidence\nof Lord Bryce's noble and untiring labours in the cause of humanity, as\na tragic and terrible exposure of the irony of the Central Powers'\nprofessions of pity for suffering humanity, that is surely not the only\nor the principal moral to be drawn from these haunting pages. They\nconstitute a terrible and lasting reproach to the European diplomacy of\nour time. They unfold to the horrified gaze of mankind a vast column of\nhuman smoke and human anguish rising to the heavens as the incense of\nthe most fearful yet most glorious mass-martyrdom the world has ever\nseen, but casting a shadow of lasting shame upon Christendom and\ncivilization. The unparalleled outburst of barbarity they reveal did\nnot come as a surprise. Europe had heard its premonitory rumblings these\nlast forty years. As far back as 1880 the representatives of the Great\nPowers in their famous and futile Identic Note to the Sublime Porte,\nsaid: \"So desperate was the misgovernment of the country that it would\nlead in all probability to the destruction of the Christian population\nof vast districts.\" The massacres of 1895-1896 and 1909 cost the lives\nof 250,000 to 300,000 Armenians. But most of the European statesmen of\nthe day persistently refused to believe that \"the gentle Turk\" was\ncapable of such bursts of unspeakable barbarism; while Bismarck declared\nopenly that the whole Eastern Question was not worth \"the bones of a\nPomeranian grenadier.\" His successors have followed and improved upon\nhis ruthless, unchristian policy, and Europe sees the result.\nWith due respect to the small minority of humane Turks, who, I dare say,\nare themselves shocked at what their rulers, their soldiery and populace\nhave proved themselves capable of, the Turk as a race has added yet\nanother and vaster monument than ever before to the long series of\nsimilar monuments that fill the pages of his blood-stained history, in\nproof of the unchangeable brutality of his nature. You cannot reason or\nargue with him. Nor can you expect justice or ordinary human feelings\nfrom such a nature. The only sane and honest way to deal with him is to\nmake him innocuous. It is official Europe that is to blame for leaving\nhim so long at large and his prey at his mercy. It is European diplomacy\nof the past forty years that is responsible for looking on while the\nrelentless mutilation was going on limb by limb, until Moloch saw his\nchance in the war and all but devoured his hapless victim, with the\ntacit acquiescence of the Governments of two great Christian empires,\nand the applause of Count Reventlow and his disciples.\nHow is it to be explained that this deliberately planned destruction of\nmore than half a million human beings by all the tortures of the Dark\nAges, and the deportation and enslavement worse than death of more than\nhalf a million, have not aroused the righteous wrath of the great\nBritish writers and thinkers of the day to nearly the same extent as the\nmartyrdom of Belgium? How is it that great writers and poets have not\nfelt the call of expressing to the world in the language of genius the\nstupefying horror as well as the moral grandeur of this vast,\nunparalleled tragedy?[6] Great Britain has always been, and is to-day\nmore than ever, the champion and \"the hope of the oppressed and the\ndespair of the oppressor.\" That sympathy, horror and indignation exist\nin this country in the fullest measure there is not the slightest doubt.\nOne sees proofs and indications of their existence at every turn. But\nwhy, in Heaven's name, is it not proclaimed to the world that the\nculprits may know and tremble and stay their hand? Bishops have been\nburnt to death, hundreds of churches desecrated, and ministers of Christ\ntortured and murdered; hundreds of thousands of Christian women and\nchildren done to death in circumstances of unspeakable barbarity and\nbestiality. Why are the Churches of Great Britain and all Christendom\nnot raising a cry of indignation that will reverberate throughout the\nworld and strike the fear of God into the hearts of these assassins and\nall powers of darkness? Why is not a word said as a tribute, so richly\ndeserved, to the heroic and indomitable spirit of the men and women and\neven children who chose torture and death rather than deny their Christ,\nsacrifice their honour or renounce their nationality?[7] Here is\nassuredly the most inspiring example of all times of the triumph of the\nspirit of Christ and the fidelity in death to conscience, personal\nhonour and independence, over savage fury and brutal lust at the highest\npitch ever attained in them by fiends in human form; a triumph and an\nexample more inspiring, and with a deeper and more lasting significance\nfor humanity and Christianity, perhaps, than this great and terrible war\nitself; and the Churches and spokesmen and writers of great Christian\ncountries, belligerent and neutral, pass over that aspect of the Great\nTragedy almost in complete silence!\nI do not ask tributes for the martyrs; let their praise be sung by the\nhosts of heaven. Nor is this a complaint; and it would be a presumption\non my part to assume the r\u00f4le of critic or mentor to leaders of\nreligion, thought and learning in great Christian countries. It is far\nindeed from my intention to assume such a r\u00f4le. But these are facts\nwhich I contemplate with inexpressible sorrow, almost despair--facts\nwhich perplex and puzzle me and which surpass my understanding. Perhaps\nmy judgment is dimmed and embittered by my nation's sufferings. If that\nis so, is any one surprised that the Armenian soul should be bitter\nto-day, bitter with a bitterness, anguish and indignation such as the\nsoul of man has never tasted before, or any people can possibly imagine?\nSome papers speak of the sufferings of the Armenians being _equal_ to\nthose of the Belgians.\nArmenians know, if any one does, what bondage and suffering under the\ntyrant's heel mean, and they yield to none in their profound sympathy\nand admiration for heroic Belgium, Serbia and the occupied parts of\nFrance. The martyrdom of 5000 unoffending Belgian civilians is a\nhorrible enough episode, but surely there is some difference between\n5000 and 600,000 victims, to say nothing of the 600,000 who were\nenslaved, forcibly converted to Islam, and driven in caravans of torture\nand death to the Mesopotamian deserts.[8] What is the condition of\nthese unfortunates, and how many have survived, must remain a dread\nsecret of the desert until the end of the war.\nIs it because the victims are Armenians, mere Armenians so used to\nmassacre, so long abandoned by Europe to the lust and pleasure of \"the\nGentle Turk\"? That may be so in the eyes of men. But there is God, and\nin His eyes the life and pain and torture and death of an Armenian\nchild, woman, or man are the same, exactly the same, as those of any\nother child, woman, or man without exception.\nFOOTNOTES:\n[5] Armenians are especially indebted to the _Manchester Guardian_ and\n_The Times_ for their valuable services to their cause, humanity and\ntruth in exposing the reign of terror in Armenia and the Turk's\naffectation of \"clean-fighting.\" Part 101 of _The Times History and\nEncyclop\u00e6dia of the War_ was the first detailed account of what had\nhappened in Armenia since the outbreak of war, and I may add that,\nconsidering the difficulties of obtaining information, it is a\nremarkably well-informed account.\n[6] Mr. Israel Zangwill concludes a moving and eloquent tribute to the\nagony of Armenia in _The New Armenia_ (New York) of March 1, 1917,\nentitled \"The Majesty of Armenia,\" in the following words--\"I bow before\nthis higher majesty of sorrow. I take the crown of thorns from Israel's\nhead and I place it upon Armenia's.\"\nIs it not a strange fact that of all contemporary authors and publicists\nof note, it should have fallen to a famous and gifted Jew to pay the\nfirst tribute to \"the majesty\" of Armenia's martyrdom for the Christian\nfaith?\n[7] Mr. P. W. Wilson's sympathetic and appreciative articles in _The\nWestminster Gazette_ and _The Daily News and Leader_ of February 3,\n1917, appeared after the above was written. While I am most grateful to\nMr. Wilson and the two great organs of British public opinion, I avail\nmyself of this opportunity to make one or two observations on some of\nthe points Mr. Wilson has raised--\n\"The first impulse of the refugee\" has not only been \"to start a shop\"\nbut also to start a school and improvise the means of continuing the\npublication of the newspaper he was publishing in Van before the exile,\nas the Belgians have done here under more favourable circumstances. The\ntoleration practised by Armenians and their Church is not due to\nadversity, but the true understanding of Christianity. The spirit of\ntoleration breathes through the pages of the history of the Armenian\nChurch from the earliest times.\nMr. Wilson says: \"It is doubtless regrettable that the Armenians should\nhave failed to recommend their progressive conception of life to the\nMoslems around them.\" This is a striking example of the misconception\nthat so often exists in the minds of even the most sympathetic observers\nof Armenian affairs. Mr. Wilson knows no doubt for how much prestige\ncounts in the East. If the European missions with all the prestige of\ntheir great nations, governments, embassies, consulates, etc., behind\nthem (to say nothing of the unlimited funds at their disposal) have had\nsuch little success in Moslem countries, is it reasonable to blame the\nArmenians, oppressed, harried, tortured, massacred, plunged into the\ndepths of misery, for not having fared better? What respect could the\nArmenian's religion inspire among his Moslem neighbours who murdered his\nbishops and priests, desecrated his churches and inflicted the most\nrevolting insults upon the outward symbols of his faith, while his\npowerful co-religionists stood by and did nothing? Under these\ncircumstances what better service could the Armenian render his religion\nthan die for it? In happier days, the early Armenian Christians were\nlargely instrumental in converting the Georgians.\n[8] It is some consolation to know, as some reports say, that the Arabs\nhave treated these unfortunates kindly. It is an indication of--and a\ncredit to--their superior civilization.\nIII\n \"THE GENTLE AND CLEAN-FIGHTING TURK\"[9]\nThe Allies have declared in their reply to President Wilson that one of\ntheir aims is \"the turning out of Europe of the Ottoman Empire, _as\ndecidedly foreign to Western civilization_.\"\nThis fact of the Turk being \"decidedly foreign to Western civilization,\"\naffirmed on the authority and conviction of the Governments of four of\nthe greatest and most advanced nations of Europe, needs no further\nproof. Nevertheless it seems desirable, in the interests of truth, to\nendeavour to dissipate the misconception that has been created by the\nextraordinary myth of \"the clean-fighting Turk.\"\nThere has been a disposition in this country, natural and intelligible\nunder the circumstances, to attribute the recent (let us hope the last)\nand most terrible of the Armenian massacres wholly or largely to German\ninfluence. That the German Government had it in its power to stop this\ngigantic crime if it had so wished, there is no doubt. It seems likely\nalso that the Turk applied to his brutal scheme the method and\nthoroughness he had learned from his German ally. But seriously to\nassert, as some writers and speakers have done, that German influence\ninstigated the massacres, is to shut one's eyes to the Turk's record\never since he became known to history. One need only turn the pages of\nhis history--a veritable chamber of horrors--to convince oneself that\nmassacre, outrage, and devastation have always been congenial to the\nTurk.\nWithout for a moment wishing to absolve the German Government of its\nresponsibility, before God and humanity, for not exerting its influence\nto save more than a million absolutely innocent human beings from death,\nslow torture, and slavery: the fact, nevertheless, remains that Hulagu,\nSultan Selim, Bayazid and Abdul Hamid were not under German influence,\nthat there were no Germans at the sack of Constantinople or the\nmassacres of Bagdad and Sivas, or, in more recent times, at the\nbutcheries of Chios, Greece, Crete, Batak, Macedonia, Sassoon, Urfa, or\nAdana. The Turk, in fact, has nothing to learn from his Teutonic ally\nin \"frightfulness\"; he has a great deal to teach him. I readily admit\nthat there are some Turks who are gentle and good men. Some of these\nhave risked good positions and even their lives to protect Armenian\nwomen and children. But most unfortunately for us, for humanity and for\nthe Turks themselves, such good Turks are few and far between.\nIt is true that orders for the extirpation of the Armenians were issued\nfrom Constantinople, but can any one imagine such revolting orders\n_being carried out_ by \"gentle and clean-fighting\" troops and people? I\nshall be much surprised if any unprejudiced man or woman in any\ncivilized country believes that any but the Turkish populace and\nsoldiery would be capable of carrying out such orders. History at any\nrate has given us no such evidence.\nI believe that, under a just and honest government and better\ninfluences, the Turkish peasant will, in course of time, lose his\nproneness to cruelty, for he has good qualities. But if this war is\nintended to see the end of tyranny, oppression, brutal religious and\npolitical persecution and the discontent and unrest that such\nconditions always produce; if it is to prevent the possibility of a\nrepetition of the hell that the Turks have let loose in Armenia since\nthey entered the war and _so often before the war_; then it is clear\nthat never again must the Turk be allowed to possess the power over\nother races, which he has so abominably abused ever since he \"hacked his\nway through\" to the fair, fertile and once highly prosperous country\nwhich he has devastated and converted into a charnel-house.\nThe Armenians of Turkey had no separatist aspirations. They knew that\nwas impracticable. Nothing would have suited them better than a reformed\ngovernment in Turkey, that would give them security of life, honour and\nproperty, the free development of their national and religious\ninstitutions and an approach to equality with Moslems before the law. On\nthe promulgation of the Constitution, all the Armenian revolutionary\nsocieties were transformed into peaceable and orderly political parties\nas by magic. They had great hopes of achieving these aims and the\nregeneration of the Ottoman Empire from within in co-operation with the\nYoung Turks before the war, and they gave the Committee of Union and\nProgress (was there ever a more incongruous misnomer?) all the support\nthey could, which was by no means negligible; but they had not long to\nwait to be completely and bitterly disillusioned. The Adana massacres\ngave their hopes the first blow. The Armenian leaders proved too earnest\nand sincere democrats for the Committee leaders who, with few\nexceptions, were actuated, as events proved, more by inordinate personal\nambition than the \"liberty\" and \"equality\" which they so loudly\nproclaimed and which have proved such a hideous mockery. The\nchauvinistic wing soon gained complete ascendancy over the party, which\nresolved on the covert or forcible \"Ottomanization\" of all non-Turk\nraces of the Empire (as is proved by the recent exposures of the Grand\nSheriff of Mecca), and ended by joining the Germans in the war in the\nhope of conquering Egypt and the Caucasus.\nIt is a mistake to think that Germany forced Turkey into the war\nagainst her will by the presence of the _Goeben_ and _Breslau_. Those\nwho had any knowledge of Turkish affairs had no doubt of the existence\nof a military understanding between Germany and Turkey for some years\nbefore the war. The arrival of a military mission at Constantinople\nunder Liman von Sanders left no doubt on that point.\nOn the outbreak of the European war, the Armenian Dashnakist Party met\nin congress at Erzerum to determine the attitude to be observed by the\nParty in relation to the war. Hearing of this, the Young Turks forthwith\nsent representatives to ascertain the attitude of the Party in the event\nof Turkey going to war against Russia. (See Blue-book, p. 80.) This took\nplace some weeks before the arrival of the _Goeben_ and _Breslau_ at\nConstantinople. Nor was the war as unpopular with the Turkish masses at\nthe outset as is thought by many. If that were so there would have been\na revolt against the Young Turks, and Turkey would have been detached\nfrom the Central Powers long ago. It may be less popular now, because\ntheir dreams of conquest have been shattered and the whole country is\nsuffering. No Turk, Young or Old, had any particular objection to the\nprospects of the conquest either of Egypt or the Caucasus, and many of\nthem aimed at a Moslem Triple Alliance between Turkey, Persia and\nAfghanistan under German auspices, and even dreamt dreams of an empire\nthat would ultimately embrace India and the whole of Northern\nAfrica![10]\nThe Young Turks have tried their hand at the government of the Ottoman\nEmpire, and have failed more completely and proved infinitely more cruel\nand brutal than the old Turks. Besides this, their betrayal of the\nEntente Powers and the vast and unprecedented crime which they have\ncommitted against humanity have left only one solution possible that\nholds out any promise of peace, justice and normal progress in the\nfuture. That one solution is, to draw up a new map of the Ottoman Empire\non the basis of nationality and historical rights, reparation in\nproportion to services and sacrifices during the war, and the proved\naptitude of the races concerned for progress and development on the\nlines of Western civilization.\nThere has long existed in Europe a school of politicians who have always\nasked: \"If you eliminate Turkish rule over the Turks' subject races,\nwhat will you put in its place?\" After what has happened in Armenia and\nSyria, he would be a bold man or a prejudiced man who would deny that\n_any_ change will be an improvement.\nThe unfitness of the Turk to govern alien, and especially Christian\npeoples has been proved by such an overwhelming accumulation of\nhistorical evidence and rivers of innocent Christian blood, that to urge\nthe contrary must appear like an attempt to obscure the sun by the palm\nof the hand.\nIf this war is to bring peace and progress to Asia Minor instead of\nchronic anarchy, bloodshed and devastation as in the past, there must be\nan end of Turkish domination over alien races in any shape or form. By\nall means give the Turk the chance of governing himself in the provinces\ninhabited purely by Turks.\nDuring the Turkish retreat from Thrace in 1913, the evidence of\nnewspaper correspondents was that the Turk was leaving Europe in the\nsame state--moral, material and intellectual--as he entered it four\ncenturies ago. The fact is, that centuries of contact with civilization\nhas made no difference to the nature of the Turk. War brings to the\nsurface the true nature of a people as nothing else can. The Turk has\nproved by his conduct in this war that he is as cruel and brutal as he\nwas when he first swooped down as the scourge of God in Asia Minor one\nthousand years ago. By centuries of conquest and domination he has\nacquired an attractive free and easy outward manner which has stamped\nhim a \"gentleman\" in the eyes of European travellers. But the same\n\"gentleman\" who will charm you with his manner will murder or enslave\nany number of women and children without the slightest twinge of\nconscience. Such is the Turkish \"gentleman.\" The Turks are to-day\nproving their gratitude for a hundred years of British and French\nsupport by throwing the whole of their man-power and resources--largely\nbuilt up by British and French capital--into the scale on the side of\nGermany. They have put at the disposal of Germany and held for Germany\nthe land routes by which alone she can hope to threaten the British and\nFrench colonial empires. They have done their best to do England and her\nAllies all the injury they can, and have given the enemies of England\nall the help they can. And still the Turk and even the Young Turk have\nfriends and protectors in this country.[11] This, to my mind, is the\nmost astonishing phenomenon of the whole war. It must appear strange to\nthinking Moslems that there should be found, in great and mighty\nChristian countries, respected and prominent men who defend the Young\nTurks at the very moment when their _prot\u00e9g\u00e9s_ are persecuting and\nmassacring their weak and defenceless co-religionists in countless\nthousands. I gravely doubt whether such an act is calculated to enhance\nthe prestige of Christianity in the eyes of the Moslem world.\nHave the apologists of the Turks ever put themselves this question: \"If\nunder German influence the Turks have been capable of attempting the\ncold-blooded murder of a whole nation, how is the fact to be explained,\nthat under the same influence they were able to gain the reputation of\n'clean fighters'?\"\nThe irony of it all is, that in a war in which more than twenty\ndifferent nations are engaged, the Turk and the Turk alone among the\nbelligerents should have gained the epithet of \"clean-fighter,\" though,\nnote well, from one of his adversaries only. How is this fact to be\nexplained? Is it seriously claimed that the Turk has proved himself,\nunder the test of war, superior in morals and chivalry to all the\nnations of Europe?\nTurkish mentality is not understood in Western Europe. The Turk has a\nfanatical bravery which, however, easily degenerates into brutality. The\nRussians, Rumanians and Serbs have fought the Turks for centuries. It\nwould be interesting to have their opinion of his \"clean-fighting\"\nqualities. The fact is, the Turk knows he may need English help again\nsome day. He knows that there has long existed in England a school of\npoliticians which has believed that British interests in the Near East\nwill be best served by supporting the Turk. He knows that England has\nmillions of Mohammedan subjects who have still some sympathy for him on\nreligious grounds, and whose susceptibilities Englishmen are naturally\nanxious to avoid hurting. He also knows that the British soldier is a\nchivalrous warrior who gives full credit to his adversary for any good\nqualities he may seem to possess. He understands the power of public\nopinion in England. He sees, in short, that there is in England a\nfertile and responsive psychological soil ready to nurture and fructify\na hundred-fold the smallest show of \"clean-fighting\" he may make.\nAccordingly, the order goes forth to the Turkish soldier to be on his\nbest behaviour whenever and wherever he is fighting British troops, and\nthe Turkish soldier obeys with the blind obedience which is his chief\ncharacteristic.\nThat is the true explanation of the amazing fact that so many--though\nnot all--British officers and soldiers have written or spoken of the\nTurk as a clean-fighter. It is well-known that some wounded Australians\nwho had the misfortune of falling into the hands of the Turks were most\nbrutally mutilated in the early part of the Dardanelles campaign. A\nwounded and gallant young New Zealander told me at a Hampstead hospital\nthat the Turks \"put three bullets into him,\" while he was being carried\nto the rear of the fighting line on a stretcher. (In case my remarks\nconcerning the clean-fighting qualities of the Turk should be\nmisconstrued or misrepresented as in any way implying a doubt as to the\nevidence of British officers and soldiers, I wish to say emphatically,\nwhat hardly needs affirmation, that I regard such evidence as absolutely\nabove doubt or question.)\nThe Russians said in one of their official _communiqu\u00e9s_ that a number\nof their wounded had been mutilated by the Turks.\nTwo Russian hospital ships have been deliberately torpedoed by\nsubmarines manned by Turks and flying the Turkish flag.\nI do not of course suggest that there are no really clean-fighting men\namong the Turks. There must be many such. It should be borne in mind in\nthis connection that, in the early stages of the war, the Turkish army\ncontained a considerable sprinkling of Christians--Greeks, Armenians,\nSyrians, etc. But to label the Turks _as such and as a whole_ as clean\nfighters and gentle folk is to admit the success of the most subtle\npropagandist make-believe of the war and the biggest hoax ever played\noff by Oriental cunning upon a chivalrous and unsuspecting adversary.\nArmenians have known the Turk for centuries. They have known him _as he\nis_, not as he affects to be in the presence of a European, and they can\nclaim credit for some knowledge of the subject. I venture to predict\nthat there is severe disillusionment in store for those who still\nbelieve in the genuineness of Turkish \"clean-fighting\" and \"chivalry,\"\nwhen the British prisoners in Turkey return. Strange indeed must be\nthis Turkish conception of chivalry to sanction the enslavement and\nslaughter of women and children in hundreds of thousands, instead of\nprotecting them and their honour as the ordinary code of chivalry\ndemands.\nA Reuter telegram from Cairo published in _The Daily Chronicle_ of\nFebruary 13, 1917, contained the following--\n \"It is learnt on reliable authority that the British, French, and\n Russian prisoners who are employed on the construction of the new\n line are treated most roughly by the Germans and Turks, and that a\n large number are falling ill from dysentery and filling the\n military hospitals at Aleppo. Those who have not been attacked by\n dysentery have fallen victims to other diseases, resulting from bad\n food, rough treatment, and overwork.\n \"One of the tricks adopted by the Germans and Turks, in order to\n throw dust in the eyes of the British regarding the treatment of\n prisoners, was the honour paid to General Townshend, who was\n returned his sword and accorded the best treatment possible. They\n brought him to Constantinople, and made him write a letter of\n thanks for the good treatment he and his men had received at the\n hands of the Turks.\n \"General Townshend did not know at the time he wrote this letter\n what misery and hardship were awaiting his unhappy troops.\"\nI may here quote in support of my contention one of the foremost living\nEuropean authorities on Near Eastern affairs, and one who certainly will\nnot be suspected of anti-Turkish prejudices--I mean Colonel Sir Mark\nSykes, M.P. Addressing a meeting at Kew on January 17, 1917 (I quote\nfrom _The Near East_ of January 19, 1917), Sir Mark said--\n \"The Turk, who in the last ten years had thrown back to the\n primitive Turanian Conqueror, was not content with dominating, but\n was now engaged in exterminating the Armenian, the Syrian\n Christian, and the Arabs, and was even now beginning to bully the\n Jews. The Turk had overthrown Islam as Prussia had overthrown\n Christianity. Prussia had replaced God by Thor and the Cross by\n his hammer. The Turk had replaced Mohammed by Oghuz and Allah by\n the \"White Wolf\" of the primitive Turks. No belief was to be placed\n in that cloak of chivalry under which in exceptional cases the Turk\n tried to hide his abominable acts.[12] He might treat General\n Townshend well; but how was he treating the thousands of Indians\n and Englishmen in his hands? If it were possible that the\n Teuton-Turanian federation of violence could win this war it would\n be twenty generations before mankind regained its liberty.\"\nFOOTNOTES:\n[9] Since this chapter was written, the following authoritative and\nimportant piece of evidence on this much-debated subject has appeared in\n_The Weekly Dispatch_ of March 4, 1917, from the pen of General Sir\nO'Moore Creagh, V.C.--\n\" ... I have experience of the Turk. He is a merciless oppressor, whose\nreal character is often hidden behind a pleasant manner, and who is\nready to cut your throat with a sort of savage courtesy. Appeal to his\nfanaticism, and in the trenches he has no fear of death; but he is very\nsubject, in case of reverse, to cowardly panic, which to a considerable\nextent detracts from his worth as a soldier....\n\"I know some of our men who have met the Turk both on the Tigris and in\nGallipoli speak of him as a clean fighter. Certainly when he meets his\nmatch he fights fairly enough, but when he is an easy victor he is\nremorseless and merciless; and robs, murders, and ravishes with the\nunrestrained savagery which lies at the base of his character. The\nBritish prisoners taken by the Turk in the present war have been\ndisgracefully treated, and, as we know, denied clothing, medicine, and\nthe ordinary necessaries of life, starved, and even refused shelter in\nextremes of heat and cold. The people who are always ready to praise the\nTurk as a clean fighter should remember that he has a lot to answer for\nin the present war.\"\n[10] See Appendix, p. 188.\n[11] See Sir Edwin Pears's article in _The Contemporary Review_, October\n1916. (I note this with the deepest regret, for Armenians are under a\nheavy debt of gratitude to Sir Edwin Pears for his generous and\nauthoritative defence of their cause in the past.)\n[12] In reply to a question by Colonel Yate in the House of Commons on\nFebruary 12, 1917: \"Mr. Hope said repeated representation had been made\nto the Turkish Government to allow U.S. representatives to visit the\ncamps, but up to now without success. Efforts, however, would be\ncontinued. Information had reached the Government that the conditions\nunder which officers were interned were fairly satisfactory, but the\ncondition of other prisoners was deplorable.\"--_Evening Standard._\n_Truth_ says, in its issue of February 21, 1917: \"I have in my\npossession a letter written last autumn by a British Army officer, one\nof the defenders of Kut, who was then at a place called Vozga, 160 miles\nfrom Tigris Valley railhead. The unfortunate prisoner complains bitterly\nof the privations which he and others have to endure at the hands of the\nTurks.\"\nIV\n ANGLO-RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP A VITAL NECESSITY FOR PEACE AND PROGRESS\n IN ASIA--MOSLEMS AND TURKISH RULE--ARMENIANS PROGRESSIVE AND\n DEMOCRATIC BY TEMPERAMENT\nThe exaggerated panegyrics on the virtues of the Turk, while the Turk is\nat war with England and her Allies and Turkish emissaries are busy\nmaking all the mischief they can among loyal subjects of the British\nEmpire, exploiting religion as a weapon of squalid intrigue, point to\nthe existence of influences which have been at work ever since Turkey\njoined the war, to screen from public view and to palliate the enormity\nof Turkish perfidy in making common cause with England's enemies in the\nhour of England's difficulty. These same influences seem to regard with\ndisfavour the growth of Anglo-Russian friendship and would apparently\nnot be sorry to see some hitch or other occur that would weaken or\nendanger the permanence of that friendship.\nThis may be an unfounded assumption, and I hope it is. But if these\npro-Turkish and anti-Russian influences exist in fact, and gain enough\nstrength to exercise any influence on the course of events after the\nwar, it will be a calamity for the smaller nations of the Near and\nMiddle East, and in fact for all Asia. It will be a hindrance and a\ndeterrent to the tranquillity and development that has been so long\ndenied to these regions. Close and cordial friendship between England\nand Russia are almost as indispensable a condition of life and growth\nand progress to these backward countries as light and heat. It is\nscarcely for me to say that it is also necessary for the future peace of\nAsia and the world. The unnatural and unfounded mutual distrust that\nshadowed Anglo-Russian relations throughout almost the whole of the past\ncentury has been chiefly responsible for the woes and miseries of the\npeoples of the Near East, Moslems as well as Christians. It has kept\nback the clock of progress and civilization for at least fifty years. We\nhave felt its effect in our daily lives and regard any prospect of its\nreturn with the utmost apprehension and regret. Pan-Turanian intrigues\nunder the cloak of Pan-Islamism will not end with the war. They will be\ncontinued after the war by their protagonists, whose chief concern is,\nnot the interests of the Mohammedan religion, but the unscrupulous\nexploitation of religious sentiment for personal ends, and the\ndisturbance of the tranquillity and ordered government which in the\npresent chaotic state of these countries are only possible under the\nstrong and just arm of British, Russian, or French protection. Any\nweakening in Anglo-Russian friendship would give these intriguers their\nchance, of which they would not be slow to take the fullest advantage,\nwith injurious consequences to the countries concerned and to the\ngeneral interests of peace. The best elements of Islam, and specially\nthe peasant populations which form the vast majority of the Moslem\nworld, know and have proved by their loyalty that they have nothing to\nfear from Britain, Russia and France, who have always not only\nrespected, but fostered their religious interests and given them, in\naddition, the inestimable blessings of freedom, justice, security and\nprosperity such as they could never expect to enjoy under any other\nr\u00e9gime.\nIt is idle to pretend that any subject race loves any form of\ndomination for its own sake. But many races and countries in Asia and\nAfrica are so situated that independence is beyond the bounds of\npracticability. Any change would result in an exchange of one domination\nfor another. Some forms of domination are sincerely welcomed because, as\nagainst the evil of domination, they have not only conferred upon the\npeoples under their rule benefits and blessings which they themselves\ncould not possibly have achieved, but have allowed them freedom of\ndevelopment on their national lines. Such in varying degrees is the\nnature of British, French, Russian, and I may add, Dutch dominion over\nthe alien races under their rule. What has Turkish domination been to\nits subject races? An unmitigated curse to Christian, Moslem and Jew\nalike, with this difference, that while the Moslem and Jew have been\nreduced by merciless taxation and robbery to extreme poverty, the\nChristian races have been bled almost to death. The Turks have\ndeliberately fostered the criminal propensities of large sections of\ntheir people and encouraged their free indulgence to check the growth\nand progress of the moral and civilizing elements in their dominions. If\nsome of the Moslems of India, Egypt or Tunis, whose sympathy with the\nTurks on religious grounds every one will understand and respect, would\nlive under Turkish rule for a few months, I have no doubt they would be\ncompletely cured of their love for the Turk as such, hasten back to\ntheir homes and beg the British and the French to remain in their\ncountries for ever. Similarly, if it were possible for the most rabid\npro-Turks in this or any European country to live some time under the\nTurk, disguised as Armenians or Syrians, they would also be cured and\nmore than cured of their admiration for the Turk; then only would they\ncome to understand his real nature.\nThe following account of the experiences of some Indian pilgrims at\nKerbela at the outbreak of war, which appeared in _The Times_ of June 6,\n1916, bears out my contention--\n \"The Bombay Government have published the story of an Indian Moslem\n pilgrim, Zakir Husain, who recently escaped from Kerbela (Baghdad\n Vilayet), whither he went on pilgrimage with his mother and sister\n in the summer of 1914.\n \"Zakir Husain states that after the outbreak of war all routes\n homewards were blocked, and the many Indian pilgrims at Kerbela\n were subjected to the utmost discomfort and cruelty. The Turkish\n authorities issued orders that the goods and women of Indians were\n the legal property of those who plundered them. Their houses were\n searched, their goods taken, and dozens of Indians were arrested\n and deported to the Aleppo side, while their families and children\n were left in Kerbela.\n \"Throughout these fourteen months,\" he continued, \"we never got\n meals more than once a day. We could not get any work, and\n consequently we had to beg from door to door in order to get a few\n scraps of bread to eat, and the state of the women and children was\n worse even than that of the men. For a man to be an Indian was\n considered a sufficient reason by Turks to torture and imprison\n him. We protested that we were Moslems, but they never paid heed.\n They themselves are no Moslems, and do not act according to the\n precepts of Islam. According to what I heard, the Indians in\n Nejef, Kazimain, and Baghdad have also been treated in the same\n cruel way as we were; hundreds have been deported and their houses\n pillaged.\"\nThe following from _The Times_ of December 26, 1916, is another\nillustration of the way Turks treat Moslems of another race who refuse\nto become the blind slaves of their political madness--\n \"Emir Faisal, commander of the Arabian forces in the vicinity of\n Medina, has telegraphed to Mecca stating that the Turks have hanged\n and crucified and employed every species of barbarity against the\n population of Medina.\"\nTurn now from that picture to the following appeal made to Armenians by\none of their principal Tiflis daily papers, _Mschak_ (Labourer), of May\n \"To-day the Moslem Benevolent Society is organizing a collection\n for building and maintaining a shelter for the children of the\n (Moslem) refugees. War causes suffering to the population of the\n country without distinction of race or creed. Moslems as well as\n Christians have to face the effects of the war, therefore the\n scheme of the Moslem Benevolent Society to establish a shelter for\n the children of Moslem refugees is deserving of all sympathy and\n support. We are convinced that the Armenian community also, having\n in mind the universal idea of humanity, will take part in the\n collection and do their duty as a humane people and good\n neighbours.\"\nThese incidents, small in themselves, bring into strong relief the\ndifference between the mentality and degree of civilization of the two\nraces. The Armenian appeal on behalf of refugee Moslem children at a\ntime when one half of their own race was in the throes of the most\nferocious of the numerous attacks made upon its existence, is also\nincidentally a reply, more trenchant than the most eloquent argument in\nwords, to those pro-Turks who have from time to time expressed fears for\nthe rights of the Turks, Kurds, Tcherkesses, Kizilbashis, etc., in an\nautonomous Armenia. Such a fear is either due to ignorance of the\ncharacteristics of the races concerned, or to prejudice. It is\ninconceivable that any Armenian Government would tolerate, much less\nimpose upon orderly and good citizens, an injustice which Armenians\nhave themselves endured and struggled against for generations, and which\nis, for that reason, abhorrent to their very nature. A study of the\nArmenian Church organization will prove to the most sceptical that the\nArmenian temperament is essentially democratic. In the smallest village\nthe candidate for priesthood must be elected by a vote of the\ninhabitants before he can be ordained by the bishop of the diocese. The\nArmenian deputies in the Russian State Duma as well as the late members\nof the Ottoman Parliament are and were supporters of the Progressives.\nArmenians who have risen to positions of influence in the service of\nforeign countries have invariably used their influence in the cause of\nprogress. General Loris Melikoff as Minister of the Interior had\nactually prepared a scheme for the reform of the Government of Russia\nwhen his Imperial Master, the Czar Alexander II, died, and the scheme\nwas shelved. Nubar Pasha, the famous Egyptian-Armenian statesman, for\nmany years Prime Minister, was largely responsible for the abolition of\nthe _corv\u00e9e_ in Egypt, and the introduction of many other reforms. The\nwriter of Nubar Pasha's biography in the _Encyclop\u00e6dia Britannica_,\nreferring to his substitution of Mixed Courts in place of the\n\"Capitulations,\" says (Eleventh Ed., Vol. 19, p. 843), \"That in spite of\nthe jealousies of all the Powers, in spite of the opposition of the\nPorte, he should have succeeded, places him at once in the first rank of\nstatesmen of his period.\" Prince Malcolm Khan, for some years Persian\nMinister in London, sowed the first seeds of constitutional government\nin Persia, for the defence of which another Armenian, Yeprem Khan, laid\ndown his life while leading the constitutional struggle against Mohamed\nAli Shah. The first constitution of the Ottoman Empire, known as the\nMidhat Constitution, was largely the work of Midhat Pasha's Armenian\nUnder-Secretary, Odian Effendi. These are but a few outstanding\ninstances. It must appear inconceivable to right-minded men that a race\nwith such a past record, achieved under all sorts of handicaps, will\neither establish a r\u00e9gime of tyranny over other races or prove incapable\nof self-government after a transition period under European advisers, as\nis alleged by some.\nV\n ARMENIA AS A PEACE PROBLEM--VIEWS OF THE \"MANCHESTER GUARDIAN\" AND\n THE \"SPECTATOR\"--CAN ARMENIANS STAND ALONE AMONG THE\n KURDS?--AMERICAN OPINION AND THE FUTURE OF ARMENIA\nAlthough the Allies have declared in their reply to President Wilson\nthat one of their aims is \"the liberation of the peoples who now lie\nbeneath the murderous tyranny of the Turks,\" no official or\nauthoritative statement has yet been made by the Allied Governments as\nregards the precise future status of Armenia. Mr. Asquith in his\nGuildhall speech spoke of \"reparation and redemption.\" M. Briand in a\nletter to M. Louis Martin, Senator of the Var, published in the _Courier\ndu Parlement_ (Paris) of November 12, 1916, says: \"When the hour for\nlegitimate reparation shall have struck, France will not forget the\nterrible trials of the Armenians, and, in accord with her Allies, she\nwill take the necessary measures to ensure for Armenia a life of peace\nand progress.\" M. Anatole France, in his speech at the great \"Homage \u00e0\nl'Arm\u00e9nie\" meeting in the Sorbonne in April 1916, used these words:\n\"L'Arm\u00e9nie expire, mais elle renaitra. Le peu de sang qui lui reste est\nun sang pr\u00e9cieux dont sortira une post\u00e9rit\u00e9 h\u00e9ro\u00efque. Un peuple qui ne\nveut pas mourir ne meurt pas. Apr\u00e8s la victoire de nos arm\u00e9es, qui\ncombattent pour la libert\u00e9, les Alli\u00e9s auront de grands devoirs a\nremplir. Et le plus sacr\u00e9 de ces devoirs sera de rendre la vie aux\npeuples martyrs, a la Belgique, a la Serbie. Alors ils assureront la\nsuret\u00e9 et l'independance de l'Arm\u00e9nie. Pench\u00e9s sur elle, ils lui diront:\n'Ma soeur, l\u00e8ve toi! ne souffre plus. Tu es d\u00e9sormais libre de vivre\nselon ton genie et foi!'\"[13]\nM. Paul Deschanel, the President of the French Senate, and M. Painlev\u00e9,\nMinister of Public Instruction, spoke in more or less similar terms.\nThe most recent authoritative reference to Armenia--and one which is of\nspecial importance, coming as it does from a member of the Inner Cabinet\nor War Council--is Mr. Arthur Henderson's statement in his conversation\nwith the correspondent of the _New York Tribune_, reported in _The\nTimes_ of January 8, 1916, as follows: \"Speaking of the part of Turkey\nin the war, Mr. Henderson said that though Armenian atrocities were not\nmuch talked about here, they had undoubtedly made a deep impression on\nthe minds of the working population, who, he thought, were determined\nthat never again should a Christian nation be under the yoke of the\nTurk.\" These are comforting words indeed to Armenians, as were those of\nMr. Asquith at the Guildhall. Nothing could give the Armenian people\nmore comfort and hope for the future than this assurance of the British\nworking man's sympathy--of which they never had any doubt--and his\ndetermination to see them freed from the Turkish yoke once and for all.\nBut here again Mr. Henderson--no doubt for very good reasons--gave no\nintimation of the intentions of the British or Allied Governments\nconcerning the new status of Armenia after its liberation from the\nTurkish yoke.\nIt has been suggested that American opinion would favour annexation by\nRussia as a means of putting an end to Turkish atrocities and\nmisgovernment of Armenia. This reading of American opinion is not\nsupported by President Wilson's statement in his historic speech to the\nSenate that \"no right anywhere exists to hand peoples from sovereignty\nto sovereignty as if they were property.\" All the Allied countries, and\nprobably all neutrals, are determined to see the end of the Turkish\nreign of terror in Armenia. But _annexation_ by Russia or any other\nGreat Power, before the blood is dry of hundreds of thousands of\nArmenians sacrificed for their faith and passionate adherence to their\nideal of nationality, must seem particularly unjust to all fair-minded\nmen in all countries, especially the great American democracy, who\nthemselves put an end to misgovernment of a much milder kind in Cuba,\nbut did not annex it. Indeed, having herself, jointly with her Allies,\nsolemnly laid down the \"recognition of the principle of nationalities\"\nas one of the terms of peace stated in the Allied Note to President\nWilson, it seems unthinkable that Russia, on her part, would entertain\nthe intention of _annexing_, and especially of annexing a country and\npeople who have paid a terrible price largely on account of their\nsympathy with and support of the Allied cause, and rendered services the\nvalue of which Russia herself has generously recognized.\nIt is argued in some quarters that the Armenian highlands are a\nstrategic necessity to Russia. There is a \"scrap of paper\" ring in such\nan argument, and I for one cannot believe that the justice-loving\nRussian people would allow such considerations to override a solemn\npledge and the principle of common justice. An Allied protectorate with\nRussia acting as their mandatory would place these strategically\nimportant regions under practically as effective a Russian control as\noutright annexation, while it would have the additional advantages of\ngiving real effect to the \"recognition of the principle of\nnationalities,\" and avoiding injustice, injury and affront to the\nnational sentiment of a people which has endured such grievous\nsufferings and sacrifices to uphold that sentiment.\nAs I write, two important references to the future of Armenia have\nappeared in the Press. One in the _Manchester Guardian_--that old\nand constant champion of wronged and suffering humanity--quoted\nby _The Times_ of December 30, 1916, as follows: \"Another word\nremains--Armenia--a word of ghastly horror, carrying the memory of deeds\nnot done in the world since Christ was born--a country swept clear by\nthe wholesale murder of its people. To Turkey that country must never\nand under no circumstances go back....\"\nThe other reference is made by the _Spectator_ in its issue of December\n30, in a leading article entitled \"The Allied Terms.\" It says--\n \"The process of freeing nationalities from oppression must be\n applied organically to the Turkish Empire. The Armenians, or what\n remains of the race, whose agonized calls for help and mercy have\n been heard even through the din of the present war, will probably\n have to be placed under the tutelage of Russia. They could not\n stand alone among the Kurds.\"\nIf by \"Russian tutelage\" the _Spectator_ means the setting up of a\nself-governing Armenia under Russian suzerainty, that would amount, in\nmy opinion, to the approximate realization of the hopes and aspirations\nof the Armenian people, provided that by \"Armenia\" is understood the six\nvilayets and Cilicia; provided also that Great Britain and France\nretained the rights of Protecting Powers as in the case of Greece.\nAnything short of this, any parcelling out of Armenia, either by\nannexation or \"tutelage\" of different parts under different Powers,\nwould not only be irreconcilable with the \"recognition of the principle\nof nationalities\" which the Allies have solemnly declared to be one of\ntheir principal aims and terms of peace; it would imply an outrage upon\nthe ideal of nationality which is the ruling passion of Armenians\neverywhere. Lynch, the great Armenian authority, has called the\nArmenians \"the strongest nationalists in the world.\" This ideal of\nnationality has grown stronger, more alive and resolute than ever by\ntheir services and unimaginable sufferings and sacrifices in the war.\n\"The little blood that is left them\" has become doubly and trebly\nprecious to the survivors. They rightly feel that they have established,\nand more than established, their title to autonomy and a strong claim\nupon the whole-hearted support of the Allied Powers to enable them to\nstand on their feet again and make a fair start on the road to\nnationhood. If Armenia is cut up and parcelled out without regard for\nthis fervent living sentiment of Armenian nationalism, and their high\nhopes and expectations are dashed to the ground, it will conceivably\nengender in all Armenians a deep sense of wrong and injustice, an\nintense discontent with the new order of things, that are not likely to\nconduce to that contentment and that smoothness of relations between the\ngovernors and the governed that are the essentials and the fundamental\npreliminary steps towards setting these much-troubled regions on the\nroad towards good government, progress and civilization.\nThe \"principle of nationalities\" and of \"government by the consent of\nthe governed\" will be applied all along the line: Belgium,\nAlsace-Lorraine, Serbia, Poland, Bohemia, Transylvania, Arabia, Syria,\nPalestine, will have restored to them or will be granted the forms of\ngovernment most acceptable to the peoples concerned. These true and\nrighteous principles, which will herald the dawn of universal justice\nand morality in the treatment of their weaker brethren by the Great\nPowers of Europe, will cease to operate only when Armenia comes to be\ndealt with. Armenia alone, who has suffered the most tragic, the most\ngrievous and heartrending Calvary, shall be denied an Easter. Why?\nBecause the Armenian people have lost too much blood; because they have\npaid too high a price for their fidelity to their faith, the\npreservation of their distinctive national life and their strong support\nof the Allied cause. That would be an unspeakably cruel and bitter\nclimax to the unending nightmare of Turkish tyranny, the Great Tragedy\nand martyrdom of the Armenian people. It will be nothing less than a\nconfirmation of the death sentence passed by Abdul Hamid and the Young\nTurks on the ideal of Armenian nationality.\nLet those who speak lightly of _annexation_ by Russia put themselves in\nthe place of the tens of thousands of Armenians who have lost wife and\nchildren, sons, brothers, fathers, near or distant relatives, both in\nmassacre as well as in what they understood to be a sacred struggle for\nliberty, to say nothing of their complete economic ruin. They would be\nmuch more or much less than human if they did not feel a deep and\nsmarting sense of wrong at seeing all their appalling sacrifices and\nimportant services result in a mere exchange of the _Kaimakam_ for the\n_Chinovnik_. It is far indeed from my purpose to put the two types of\nofficial and the respective systems of government they represent on the\nsame level. They differ as day from night. In my opinion and to my\nknowledge the vast majority of Armenians will welcome Russian suzerainty\nwith sincere satisfaction. But, after the ordeal of blood and fire\nthrough which they have passed, they must feel, as I believe they do\nfeel with ample justification, that they have a right to a voice and a\nliberal measure of participation in the government of their own country.\nI cannot do better than quote here a passage from Mr. Gladstone's great\nspeech on the Treaty of Berlin, which is applicable to Armenia, and than\nwhich there could be no wiser, more just or authoritative guidance for\nthe formation of a sound and just view on the Armenian and kindred\nproblems--\n \"My meaning, Sir, was that, for one, I utterly repelled the\n doctrine that the power of Turkey is to be dragged to the ground\n for the purpose of handing over the Dominion that Turkey now\n exercises to some other great State, be that State either Russia or\n Austria or even England. In my opinion such a view is utterly\n false, and even ruinous, and has been the source of the main\n difficulties in which the Government have been involved, and in\n which they have involved the country. I hold that those provinces\n of the Turkish Empire, which have been so cruelly and unjustly\n ruled, ought to be regarded as existing, not for the sake of any\n other Power whatever, but for the sake of the populations by whom\n they are inhabited. The object of our desire ought to be the\n development of those populations on their own soil, as its proper\n masters, and as the persons with a view to whose welfare its\n destination ought to be determined.\"\nIt may be argued that things have changed since 1878. The answer to that\nis that principles are immutable. The only change is the cruel reduction\nof the Armenian population. I ask, first of all: \"Is it fair and right\nand just that we should suffer massacre and persecution for generations,\nand when the time for reparation comes, should be penalized because so\nmany of us have been massacred?\" Secondly, it should not be forgotten\nthat although the Armenian element of the population has been reduced,\nthe Turks and Kurds have also suffered very considerable losses.\nThirdly, the Armenians are much more advanced intellectually to-day than\nthey were forty years ago, while their neighbours--Turks, Kurds, and\nothers--are stagnating in the same primitive state as they were\nforty--or, for that matter, four hundred--years ago. Another\ncircumstance which adds materially to the chances of success of an\nautonomous Armenia is the existence of a number of nourishing Armenian\ncommunities of various sizes in other countries--in the Russian Caucasus\nand the Russian Empire, Persia, the United States, Egypt, the Balkans,\nFrance, Great Britain, India, Java, etc.--which are at the present time\nlooking forward with enthusiasm and readiness for sacrifice, to \"do\ntheir bit\" in the sacred work of the reconstruction of their stricken\nand beloved Motherland.\nComing to the _Spectator's_ contention that \"they (the Armenians) could\nnot stand alone against the Kurds,\" I can assure the _Spectator_ that\nthere is no cause whatever for apprehension on that score, if only the\nRussian Government and Army authorities will agree to allow the\nArmenians to organize under their guidance and supervision, immediately\nafter the war, a number of flying columns from among discharged Armenian\nvolunteers and soldiers in the regular army, for the specific purpose of\ncarrying out a \"drive\" from one end of the country to the other and\ndisarming the Kurds. The Armenian volunteers, of whom I speak in another\nchapter, have had a good deal of fighting to do with the Kurds during\nthe war and have proved more than their match, in many cases against\nsuperior numbers.\nThe prevailing erroneous belief that the Armenians \"could not stand\nalone among the Kurds\" has its origin in the fact that for centuries (up\nto 1908) Armenians have been an easy prey to the Kurds by reason of\ntheir being prohibited to possess or carry arms on pain of death, while\nthe Kurds were supplied with arms from the government arsenals, and\nencouraged and supported in every way by the central government to\nharass the Armenians. What chance would the bravest people in the world\nhave under such circumstances? Since 1908, when the prohibition of\ncarrying arms by Christians was relaxed, it is a well-known fact,\nattested by European travellers, that Kurds never attacked Armenian\nvillages which they knew to be armed. Zeytoon and Sassoon have\ndemonstrated beyond question that when Armenians have met Turks on\nanything like equal terms, they have proved their match. These isolated,\ncompact communities of fearless mountaineers were never entirely\nsubjugated by the Turks until the outbreak of the present war, when the\nZeytoonlis were overwhelmed by Turkish treachery and the Sassoonlis died\nfighting to the last man and woman (_see_ Blue-book, pp. 84 and 87).\nIn 1905 the Tartars, who are nearly twice as numerous as the Armenians\nin the Caucasus, made a sudden attack upon the latter in the Hamidian\nstyle. But thanks to the equity of Russian government, Armenians in the\nCaucasus were as free to carry arms as Tartars, so the Tartars soon\nregained their \"humane sentiments\" and offered peace to stop further\nbloodshed. I would recommend those who entertain any fears of Armenians\nbeing able to defend themselves against Kurds or Tartars to read\nVillari's _Fire and Sword in the Caucasus_ and Moore's _The Orient\nExpress_.\nAt all events Europe will not be taking any risk in giving the Armenians\nthe opportunity of proving that they can \"make good\" in spite of the\nKurds, and also, as we hope, can gradually civilize the Kurds and other\nneighbouring backward races.[14]\nAs far as I know (in fact I have no doubt about it), Armenians are\nprepared to take the risk of \"standing alone among the Kurds\", provided\nthat the Entente Powers afford them the necessary assistance during the\nfirst few years of reconstruction and initiation, and above all,\nprovided that they enjoy the whole-hearted and benevolent good-will of\nRussia, for which, it is as certain as anything human can be, their\ngreat protector and neighbour will reap a rich harvest in the future--as\nrich a harvest as that which Britain is reaping to-day for her act of\njustice and statesmanship in South Africa.\nFOOTNOTES:\n[13] \"Armenia is dying, but she will be born again--the little blood\nthat is left to her is the precious blood from which will arise a heroic\nposterity. A people that refuses to die will not die. After the victory\nof our armies, which are fighting for justice and liberty, the Allies\nwill have great duties to fulfil. And the most sacred of these duties\nwill be to bring back to life the martyred peoples, Belgium and Serbia.\nThen they will assure the security and independence of Armenia. Bending\nover her they will say to her: 'Rise, sister! suffer no more. Henceforth\nyou are free to live according to your genius and your faith!'\"\n[14] Armenians have from time to time opened schools for Kurdish\nchildren, but their efforts were not successful, mainly owing to the\nunfriendly attitude of the Turkish authorities.\nVI\n ARMENIA'S SERVICES IN THE WAR\nI have spoken earlier in these pages of the services of the Armenians to\nthe Allied cause in the war. What are these services?\nThe Armenian name has been so long and so often associated with massacre\nthat it has given rise to the general but utterly unfounded belief by\nthose who have not gone deeper into the matter, that Armenians are\ndevoid of physical courage and allow themselves to be butchered like\nsheep.[15] Where this belief is not based upon ignorance of the facts\nand circumstances, it is, I am bound to say, a particularly dastardly\npiece of calumny upon a people who have groaned for centuries under a\nbrutal tyrant's heel, with an indomitable spirit that has ever been and\nis even to-day the Turk's despair. The struggle that has gone on for\nfive or six centuries between Armenian and Turk symbolizes, perhaps\nbetter than any event in history, the invincibility of the spirit of\nChristianity and liberty and the ideal of nationality against\noverwhelming odds of ruthless tyranny, the savagery of the Dark Ages and\nthe unscrupulous and mendacious exploitation of religious passion. That\nstruggle has been as unequal as can well be imagined, but we have not\npermitted the forces of darkness to triumph over the spirit of Light and\nLiberty, though the price paid has come very near that of our\nannihilation. Nevertheless, we have been able, in this world-wide\nstruggle, not dissimilar to our own long struggle in the moral issues\ninvolved, to render services to the cause of the Allies, which is the\ncause of Right and Justice, and therefore our cause also, quite out of\nproportion, in their effect, to our numbers as a race or our\ncontribution of fighting men as compared with the vast armies engaged,\nalthough that contribution has been by no means negligible.\nOn the eve of Turkey's entry into the war the Young Turks employed\nevery conceivable means--persuasion, cajolery, intimidation, the promise\nof a large autonomous Armenia, etc.--to induce the Armenian party\nleaders to prevail upon the Russian Armenians to join themselves in a\nmass rally to the Turkish flag against Russia. They sent a number of\nemissaries to Russian Armenia with the same object. The Turk must have a\npeculiar understanding of human nature, and not much sense of humour, to\nhave the _na\u00efvet\u00e9_ to make such overtures to Armenians after having\npersecuted and harried and massacred them for centuries. All the\nArmenian leaders promised was a correct attitude as Ottoman subjects.\nThey would do neither more nor less than what they were bound to do by\nthe laws of the country. They could not interfere with the freedom of\naction of their compatriots in the Caucasus who owed allegiance to\nRussia. They kept their promise scrupulously in the first months of the\nwar. Armenian conscripts went to the d\u00e9p\u00f4ts without enthusiasm. How\ncould it be otherwise? What claim had the Turks upon the sympathy and\nsupport of their Armenian subjects? Is sympathy won by tyranny, or\nloyalty bred by massacre? They (the Armenians) were placed in a most\ndifficult position. They were naturally reluctant to fight against the\nRussians, and the position was aggravated by the fact that the Russian\nCaucasian army was largely composed of Russian Armenians. But in spite\nof these sentimental difficulties, mobilization was completed without\nany serious trouble.\nSoon, however, Armenians began to desert in large numbers; the Young\nTurks had joined the war against their wish and advice; they had not\ntheir heart in the business, and, last, but not least, they were\nharried, ill-treated and insulted by their Turkish officers and comrades\nat every turn: there were exceptions, of course, but that was the\nposition generally in the closing months of 1914. Let me add that there\nwere large numbers of Turkish deserters also, and that the Armenian\nleaders did all they could to send the deserters of their own\nnationality back to the ranks, doing so forcibly in some cases. Then\ncame the defeat of the Turks at Sarikamysh and the ejection of Djevdet\nBey and his force from Azerbaijan. On his return to Van, Djevdet Bey\ntold his friends: \"It is the Armenians much more than the Russians who\nare fighting us.\"\nThe massacres and deportations began soon after the collapse of the\nTurkish invasion of the Caucasus and Northern Persia, and it is only\nafter it was seen clearly that the Turks were determined to deport or\ndestroy them all that the Armenians in many places took up arms in\nself-defence. There was no armed resistance before that, and the Turkish\nand German allegations of an Armenian revolt are a barefaced invention\nto justify a crime, a tithe of which not one but a hundred revolts\ncannot justify or palliate. This is proved beyond all question by Mr.\nToynbee's concise and illuminating historical summary at the end of the\nBlue-book on the Treatment of Armenians by the Turks during the war.\nThere was no revolt. But when the Armenians were driven to self-defence\nunder the menace of extermination, they fought with what arms they could\nscrape together, with the courage of desperation. In Shahin-Karahissar\nthey held out for three months and were only reduced by artillery\nbrought from Erzerum. In Van and Jebel-Mousa they defended themselves\nagainst heavy odds until relieved by the Russians and the Armenian\nvolunteers in the first case, and rescued by French and British cruisers\nin the second. The Turkish force sent against the insurgents of\nJebel-Mousa was detached from the army intended for the attack on the\nSuez Canal.\nOf course ill-armed, poorly equipped bands without artillery, wanting in\nalmost all necessaries of modern warfare, brave as they may be, cannot\npossibly maintain a prolonged resistance against superior forces of\nregulars well supplied with artillery, machine-guns and all that is\nneeded in war. Nevertheless, some of these bands seem to have succeeded\nin holding out for many months, and it is believed in the Caucasus that\nthere are groups of armed Armenians still holding out in some parts of\nthe higher mountains behind the Turkish lines.[16] It will be\nremembered that some weeks ago--I do not recall the date--a\nConstantinople telegram reprinted in _The Times_ from German papers\nstated that there were 30,000 armed Armenian rebels in the vilayet of\nSivas. This is an obvious exaggeration, and it may simply mean that a\nconsiderable number of Armenians were still defending themselves against\nthe menace of massacre. When the Russian army entered Trebizond a band\nof some 400 armed Armenians came down from the mountains and surrendered\nthemselves to the Russians. Quite recently a band of seventy men cut\nthrough the Turkish lines and gained the Russian lines in the\nneighbourhood of Erzinjian.\nThe Turks have repeatedly declared that the \"Armenian revolt\" threatened\nto place their army between two fires. The particle of truth that there\nis in this assertion is, as may be judged by the facts so far known as\ncited above, that the Armenian resistance to massacre and deportation\nproved to be more serious than they had anticipated, and that they had\nto detach large numbers of troops and in some cases artillery and\nmachine-guns to keep these \"rebels\" in check. It is consequently\nundeniable that Armenian armed resistance to deportation and massacre\nhas been a considerable hindrance to the full development of Turkish\nmilitary power during the war and has, in that way, been of material,\nthough, indirect assistance to the Allied forces operating against the\nTurks. To this may be added the demoralizing effect that the deplorable\nstate of affairs created by the Turks in their dominions must have\nexercised on the morale of their people.\nSuch in general outline have been the services of the Turkish Armenians\nto the Allied cause. It is not my purpose here to endeavour to appraise\nthe possibly ill-concealed, but not by any means ostentatious or\nprovocative, sympathy of the Armenians for the Allies, upon the sinister\ndesigns of the Young Turks. I will content myself with the description\nof a significant cartoon that appeared early in the war in the Turkish\ncomic paper _Karag\u00f6z_ in Constantinople. The cartoon depicted two Turks\ndiscussing the war. \"Where do you get your war news from?\" asked Turk\nnumber one. \"I do not need war news,\" replied Turk number two; \"I can\nfollow the course of the war by the expression on the faces of the\nArmenians I meet. When they are happy I know the Allies are winning,\nwhen depressed I know the Germans have had a victory.\"\nThe following extract from a dead Turkish officer's notebook, reproduced\nin the _Russkaia Viedomosti_ (No. 205), throws some light on the Turkish\nestimate of the value of Armenian support in the war. \"If our Armenians\nhad been with us,\" wrote this Turkish officer, \"we would have defeated\nthe Russians long ago.\"[17]\nThe services of the Russian Armenians to the Allied cause, but\nprincipally, of course to the Russian cause during the war, have been of\na more direct and positive character and of far-reaching importance.\nThey may be divided into two distinct parts, namely, military and\npolitical; and in order the better to explain the full meaning of the\nArmenian \"strong support of the Russian cause\" (in the words of _The\nTimes_), I will deal with each of the two parts separately.\nThe Armenian population of Russian Armenia and the Caucasus numbers,\nroughly, 1,750,000 souls, and there are probably another 100,000 to\n200,000 Armenians scattered over the other parts of the empire. They are\nliable to military service as Russian subjects, and it is estimated that\nthey have given to the Russian army some 160,000 men. Apart from this\nnot negligible number of men called to the colours in the ordinary\ncourse of mobilization, the Armenians, as a result of an understanding\nwith the authorities, organized and equipped at their own expense a\nseparate auxiliary volunteer force under tried and experienced guerilla\nleaders, such as Andranik, K\u00e9ri and others, to co-operate with the\nCaucasian army. This force contained a number of Turkish Armenians,\nmostly refugees from previous massacres. Some twenty thousand men\nresponded to the call for volunteers, though I believe not more than\nabout ten thousand could be armed and sent to the front. The greatest\nenthusiasm prevailed. Armenian students at the Universities of Moscow\nand Petrograd and educational institutions in the Caucasus vied with\neach other in their eagerness to take part in the fight for the\nliberation of their kinsmen from bondage. Several young lady students\noffered to enlist, but I believe all but two or three were dissuaded\nfrom taking part in actual fighting. Boys of fourteen and fifteen years\nran away from home and tramped long distances to join the volunteer\nbattalions. It is recorded that an Armenian widow at Kars, on hearing\nthat her only son had been killed in battle, exclaimed, \"Curse me that I\ndid not give birth to ten more sons to fight and die for the freedom of\nour country.\"\nThe volunteer force was not large, but it was a mobile force well\nadapted to the semi-guerilla kind of warfare carried on in Armenia, and\nthe men knew the country. They seem to have done good work as scouts in\nparticular, though they took part in many severe engagements and were\nmentioned once or twice in Russian _communiqu\u00e9s_ as \"our Armenian\ndetachments.\" Generous appreciation of the services and gallantry of\nthe volunteers as well as of Armenians in the army has been expressed by\nRussian military commanders, the Press, and public men. High military\nhonours were conferred upon the volunteer leaders, and His Imperial\nMajesty the Czar honoured the Armenian nation by his visit to the\nArmenian Cathedral in Tiflis, demonstrating his satisfaction with the\npart played by Armenians in the war.[18]\nThere are, of course, many Armenian high officers in the Russian army,\nincluding several generals, but so far they have not had the opportunity\nof producing in this war outstanding military leaders of the calibre of\nLoris Melikoff and Terkhougasoff. General Samsonoff, \"the Russian\nKitchener,\" was killed early in the war in East Prussia in his gallant\nand successful attempt to relieve the pressure on Paris.\nThe political effect of the strong and enthusiastic support of the\nRussian cause by Armenians has been to keep in check the discontented\nand fanatical section of the Tartars and other Moslems of the Caucasus,\nwho would have been disposed to make common cause with the Turks\nwhenever a favourable opportunity should present itself to do so without\nmuch risk to themselves. The Tartars and other Moslem elements of the\nCaucasus are as a whole genuinely loyal to Russia, but the existence of\na minority who would welcome the success of the Turkish invasion cannot\nbe denied. Some of the Ajars did, in fact, join the Turks during their\ninvasion of Ardahan.\nAll things considered, therefore, those who have any knowledge of the\nracial and political conditions in the Caucasus will not, I think,\nregard it as in any sense an exaggeration to assert that the\nwhole-hearted support of the Armenians--and I may also add, though in a\nlesser degree, the Georgians--has contributed very materially to the\nsuccess of Russian arms in the Caucasian theatre of the war. The absence\nof that support, or even mere formal or lukewarm support, would not\nonly most probably have had serious consequences for the Caucasus, it\nwould have left the whole of Persia at the mercy of the Turks; and who\ncan say what the consequences of such a catastrophe would have been on\nArabia, Mesopotamia, Afghanistan and even the northern frontiers of\nIndia itself?\nNearly all the able-bodied Armenians in France, between 1000 and 1500\nstrong, joined the French Foreign Legion quite early in the war. Some\nArmenians came from the United States to fight for France. Only some 250\nhave survived, I understand, most of whom are proud possessors of the\nMilitary Cross.\nPropaganda in neutral countries has played an important part during the\nwar. The just cause of the Allies has had no stauncher supporters or\nbetter propagandists than the hundred and twenty-five thousand or more\nArmenians in the United States, while the Great Tragedy of Armenia has\nincidentally added to the armoury of the Allies a melancholy but\nformidable moral weapon.\nFOOTNOTES:\n[15] Pierre Loti, the well-known French writer, who was an ardent\nTurkophile before the war, after adding his quota to the current, and,\none is constrained to say, cheap, comments on the lack of courage and\nnumberless other failings of the Armenians, adds the following P.S. in\nhis _Turquie Agonisante_ (pp. 94-95) after a longer sojourn in the\ncountry and closer contact with realities. (I give the translation from\nthe French.)--\n\"Before concluding I desire to make honourable, sincere and spontaneous\namends to the Armenians, at least as regards their attitude in the ranks\nof the Ottoman Army. This is certainly not due to the protestations\nwhich they have inserted in the Constantinople Press by the power of\ngold.\" [This is a curious admission by Pierre Loti; one of the stock\ncries of the Turkophiles is that the Turk is above \"bakshish.\"] \"No, I\nhave many friends among Turkish officers; I have learned from them, and\nthere can be no doubt, that my earlier information was exaggerated, and\nthat, notwithstanding a good number of previous desertions, the\nArmenians placed under their orders conducted themselves with courage.\nTherefore, I am happy to be able to withdraw without _arri\u00e8re pens\u00e9e_\nwhat I have said on this subject, and I apologize.\"\nOf all British games and sports Armenians in different parts of the\nBritish Empire, the Dutch Colonies and Persia have manifested a natural\npredilection for Rugby Football, in which physical courage comes into\nplay more than in most other games. In recent years the Armenian College\nof Calcutta won the Calcutta Schools' Cup three years in succession,\nwhich gave it the right to retain the trophy. I am glad to see in the\nMarch issue of _Ararat_ that the Boy Scouts of the same college, under\nScoutmaster Dr. G. D. Hope, have won the King's Flag, presented by His\nMajesty to the troop having the largest number of King's Scouts in India\nand Burmah.\n[16] I may here point out that--though it is stated in the admirable\nhistorical summary in the Blue-book (p. 649) that \"the number of those\nwho have emerged from hiding since the Russian occupation is\nextraordinarily small\"--this number has been growing very considerably\nof late, as may be seen from Mr. Backhouse's telegram to the chairman of\nthe Armenian Refugees (Lord Mayor's) Fund, dated Tiflis, November 27,\n1916, published in the newspapers.\n[17] Compare an Armenian officer's evidence, Blue-book, p. 231, \" ...\nthey laid the blame for this defeat upon the Armenians, though he could\nnot tell why.\"\n[18] In an article on \"The Armenian Massacres\" in the April\n_Contemporary Review_, Mr. Lewis Einstein, ex-member of the staff of the\nUnited States Embassy in Constantinople, says: \"Talaat attributed the\ndisasters that befell the Turks at Sarikamish, in Azerbaijan and at Van,\nto the Armenian volunteers.\"\nVII\n ARMENIA THE BATTLE-GROUND OF ASIA MINOR AND VICTIM OF CONTENDING\n EMPIRES\nNo country and people have suffered so severely from the clash of rival\nempires, both in war and diplomacy, as have Armenia and the Armenians,\nso far as is known to the recorded history of the world. Her\ngeographical position has made Armenia the cockpit of ambitious empires\nand conquerors, and the highway of their armies in Western Asia, much as\nBelgium and Poland have been the battle-grounds of Europe. But whereas\nin these European battle-grounds the invading armies have generally\nmoved east and west only, Armenia has endured the horrors of invasion,\ntime after time, from north, south, east and west. Then, again, Armenia\nbeing a much older country, the record of her suffering from the\ninvading armies of her stronger neighbours, \"hacking their way\" through\nher territory, extends over a proportionately longer period than that of\nBelgium and Poland. Armenia has been invaded and ravaged in turn by\nBabylonians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Hittites, Parthians, Macedonians,\nPersians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Tartars and Turks. Only during the\nfirst century B.C. did she succeed in subduing all her neighbours, and\nestablishing a short-lived empire of her own, extending from the\nMediterranean to the Caspian.\nThe analogy between Armenia and her European co-sufferers from the ills\nof aggressive Imperialism ceases altogether, however, when we come to\nthe period of Turkish domination. The blood-stained history of that\nr\u00e9gime is well enough known. Periodic explosions have reminded Europe of\nthe existence of the inferno of unbridled lust, corruption and predatory\nbarbarism which this unhappy people have been fated to endure for\ncenturies. What has not been brought into sufficient relief is the fact\nthat this \"bloody tyranny\" could have long since been brought to an end,\nor, at all events, effectively curbed, if it had not been for the\njealousies and rivalries of the great modern Christian empires. The\nhistory of the acts of European diplomacy in regard to Armenia and the\nNear East during the last sixty or seventy years is not one of which the\ndiplomats and statesmen concerned can be particularly proud. Who can\nclaim for them to-day to have served, in the sum total of their results,\neither the interests of the Christian subjects of the Porte, the\nprogress of civilization, the material interests of the Great Powers\nthemselves, or the supreme interests of peace?\nMr. Balfour says in his famous Dispatch to the British Ambassador to the\nUnited States that \"Turkey has ceased to be a bulwark of peace,\" thereby\nimplying, obviously, that Turkey had played that part before. Mr.\nBalfour is a great authority on political history, and when he avers\nthat Turkey has been a \"bulwark of peace\" she must have filled such a\nr\u00f4le at some period of her history. But to his Christian subjects, at\nany rate, the Turk has never brought peace. He has brought them fire and\nsword and a riot of unbridled lust, rapacity, corruption and cruelty\nunparalleled even in the Dark Ages. The only peace he has brought them\nhas been the peace of death and devastation. He has not even left trees\nto break the awful silence of desolation which he has spread over this\nfair and fertile land once throbbing with human life and activity. That\nis the price paid for whatever part Turkey may have played in the past\nas a bulwark of international peace. Professor Valran of the University\nof Aix-en-Provence estimates the Armenian population of Turkey in the\nbeginning of the nineteenth century at 5,000,000.[19] The population of\nthe not too healthy island of Java was the same at the same period.\nUnder the excellent rule of the Dutch, the population of that island has\ngrown up to over 35,000,000 during the century. What has become of the\nArmenians, one of the most virile and prolific races of the world living\nin a healthy country? Let the friends and protectors of the Turk and his\nsystem of government give the answer. In particular let those answer\nwho, with the Turks' black and bloodstained record of centuries before\nthem, have, nevertheless, the effrontery to maintain, at this hour of\nday, that the Turk has not been given a fair chance. The blood of the\nmyriads of innocents who have fallen victims to the Turks' incurable\nbarbarism throughout these centuries, cries aloud against such a brazen\nand deliberate travesty of the truth.\nOne of the principal enactments of the Treaty of Paris was to admit\nTurkey into the comity of the Great Powers of Europe. To-day, after a\nprobation of sixty years, at a fearful cost to her Christian subjects,\nit is at last admitted that Turkey has proved herself \"decidedly foreign\nto Western civilization.\" Could there be a more crushing condemnation of\nthe judgment of the statesmen responsible for that treaty in regard to\nthe Turk? The more one studies the record of the Turk, the more one\nmarvels at the unbounded confidence placed in his promises of reform by\nsome of the greatest statesmen of modern times. In vain have I ransacked\nthe history books in search of an instance where the Turk carried out,\nor honestly attempted to carry out, a single one of his numerous\npromises of reform. Every one of them was a snare and a pretence\ndesigned merely to oil the wheels of a cunning diplomacy or tide over a\nmomentary embarrassment. Whether it was the Sultan or Grand Vizier or\nAmbassador, whenever the Turk made a promise to improve the lot of his\nChristian subjects, he had made up his mind beforehand that that promise\nwould never be performed.[20]\nSince the beginning of last century Russia has been, by reason of her\ngeographical contiguity, practically the only Power which the Turk has\nreally feared. In contrast with the near Eastern policies of the Western\nPowers, Russian policy has been almost invariably hostile to the Turk\nsince the days of Peter the Great. Of course, this was not always pure\naltruism on the part of the rulers of Russia. But, whatever the motive,\nRussian policy certainly coincided absolutely with the interests of\nhumanity and civilization. And while in the West the policy of\n\"buttressing the Turk\" (in the words of the Bishop of Oxford) often met\nwith strong opposition among the democracies of England and France,\nRussian policy in regard to the Turk has always enjoyed the unanimous\nsupport of the Russian people, who being the Turk's neighbour and having\nhad several wars with him, knew his true nature from prolonged personal\ncontact. The one departure from Russia's traditional policy was Count\nLobanoff's regrettable--and I may say inexplicable--refusal to take\njoint action with Britain and France to put a term upon the butcheries\nof 1895-96, and adopt such effective measures as would perhaps have put\nit beyond the power of the Turk to indulge again in his diabolical\norgies of cold-blooded barbarism.\nHis fear of Russia, which acted as a wholesome restraint upon the\npredatory tendencies of the Turk, was weakened by the Treaty of Paris\ntaking away from Russia her effective protectorate over the Christian\nsubjects of the Porte, and was removed altogether by the Treaty of\nBerlin and the Cyprus Convention. The Turk was quick to understand that\nthe Western Powers would not permit Russia to intervene on behalf of his\npersecuted Christian subjects. He saw that conditions were favourable\nfor putting into execution his \"policy\" of getting rid of his Christian\nsubjects, and he forthwith set to work to carry out his foul project.\nEvents have proved the Treaty of Berlin to have been the masterpiece of\nBismarck's policy of \"divide et impera.\" It created, as it was designed\nto create, a deep and bitter feeling of mistrust and antagonism between\nGreat Britain and Russia, which gave Germany her chance of gaining a\nstrong foothold in the Ottoman Empire.\nThe appearance of Germany upon the scene created new dangers, which\nhave proved all but fatal to the Armenian people.\nThe Emperor William II, on his return from his pilgrimage to the Holy\nLand, paid a visit to, and fraternized with, the murderer of 250,000\nArmenians who had died for the sake of the very Christ from the scene of\nwhose life the Christian emperor had just returned. This, by the way,\nwas in characteristic contrast with King Edward's refusal of the\nSultan's offer of his portrait about the same time. This act of the\ngreat and humane English king has touched the hearts of Armenians, who\ncherish a deep and reverent affection for his memory.\nThe result of the Emperor William's visit to Abdul Hamid was the Baghdad\nRailway and many other concessions, and no doubt a great scheme of a\nfuture Germano-Turkish Empire in the East.\nI believe it was Dr. Paul Rohrbach, the well-known German writer on Near\nEastern affairs, who suggested some years ago that the deportation of\nthe Armenians from their homes and their settlement in agricultural\ncolonies along the Baghdad Railway would be the best way to make that\nline pay quick and handsome dividends.\nSome time ago I read in _The Near East_ the account of a conversation\nbetween an American missionary and a German officer travelling together\nin Anatolia. The German officer confessed that what he had seen was\nhorrible, more horrible than anything he had ever seen before; \"but,\" he\nadded, \"what could we do? _The Armenians were in the way of our military\naims._\" Supposing that resistance to massacre by Armenian men was\ninterpreted by the German agents in Turkey as being \"in the way of their\nmilitary aims,\" what possible excuse could there be for the abominable\ntreatment, the torture, the slaughter, and the driving to misery and\ndeath of hundreds of thousands of women and children? Were they also in\nthe way of their military aims?\nWhile the Turks were butchering Christians in their hundreds of\nthousands, the German Emperor was presenting a sword of honour to the\nSultan of Turkey and showering honours upon Enver Pasha at his\nheadquarters. While thousands of Christian children and women were\nbeing mercilessly slaughtered and driven to death by Germany's ally, and\ntheir bodies thrown to the wolves and vultures in the Mesopotamian\ndeserts, the German Government was making provision for the housing and\ntuition of thousands of Turkish youths in the technical schools of\nGermany to fill the places of the \"eliminated\" Armenians. What have\nChristian Germans to say to all this? Do the Johanniter Knights, of whom\nthe Kaiser is himself Grand Master, approve of these proceedings? Do\nthey think that He who said \"inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of\nthese little ones, ye have done it unto Me\" knows of any distinction of\nrace? How can German Christians, from their rulers downwards, face God\nand the Son of God in the intimacy of their prayers after sanctioning\nthese black deeds which are the very negation of God and the teaching of\nChrist? Do the rulers of Germany and Turkey and the protagonists of the\nReventlow doctrine believe that empires, railways, or any other schemes\nof expansion, built upon foundations of the blood and tears of hundreds\nof thousands of human beings, will endure and prosper and bring forth\nharvests of plenty and peace and happiness to their promoters, their\nchildren, and their children's children? They are mistaken. My word may\ncount for naught to the rulers and leaders of mighty states; but it is\ntrue. We are an ancient people. \"We have seen empires come and empires\ngo.\" We have been ground for centuries in the mill of the ruthless clash\nof contending empires; but in spite of our long and bitter sufferings\nour belief to-day is as strong as ever in the existence of another mill,\nthe mill of Divine Justice, which grinds in its own good time, and may\ngrind slow, but \"it grinds exceeding small.\" Who will doubt or deny that\nviolence to women and children and unoffending, defenceless men, \"every\nhair of whose head is numbered,\" will not be forgiven by their just and\nAlmighty Creator; that the sacrifice of them for ulterior selfish\nobjects will not be overlooked? Political and military acts of the\nmightiest empires, entailing injustice, violence and suffering to weaker\npeoples will bring Nemesis in their train in due course. The idol with\nfeet of clay, sunk in the blood of innocents, cannot endure. Sooner or\nlater it must fall.\nFOOTNOTES:\n[19] _Le S\u00e9maphore de Marseille_, November 20, 1915.\n[20] I am indebted to my friend Mr. H. N. Mosditchian for the following\naccount of an incident which throws some light on the ways of the Turk--\n\"The massacres of Sassoon in 1893-1894, first described at the time by\nDr. Dillon in _The Daily Telegraph_, and the first of the series that\ndrenched Armenia with the blood of over 200,000 of her sons and\ndaughters, raised such a cry of horror and indignation throughout the\ncivilised world that Great Britain, France and Russia, through their\nEmbassies at Constantinople, prepared a Scheme of Reforms, known as the\nScheme of the 11th of May 1895, and after much difficulty and long\nnegotiations obtained thereto the approval of Abd-ul-Hamid, 'the Red\nSultan.'\n\"I was with the Patriarch when the Hon. M. H. Herbert, Secretary to the\nBritish Embassy, brought to the Patriarchate the good tidings of the\nSultan's acceptance of the Scheme. Upon his special advice, the\nPatriarch sent there and then telegraphic instructions to all the\nArmenian Bishoprics in the provinces to chant Te Deums in the churches\nand to offer up prayers for the benign and magnanimous Padishah!\n\"I was again with the Patriarch a day or two after when telegrams began\nto pour in from the provinces announcing a fresh outbreak of massacres\nthroughout the country. I hastened to the Embassies of the Six Great\nPowers to give them the appalling news and to ask for their immediate\nassistance. As is well known, they did or could do nothing, and the\nmassacres went on, unchecked and unbridled, assuming every day larger\ndimensions and a better organised thoroughness....\"\nI called on Judge Terrell, the American Ambassador, also. \"I am not at\nall surprised,\" said he, \"at these fresh massacres. I knew they would be\ncoming, so much so that the moment I heard that the Sultan was about to\naffix his signature to the Scheme of Reforms, I hastened to the Grand\nVezir and insisted upon his sending telegraphic orders to all the Valis\nto take good care that no American subject was hurt. The Grand Vezir\nprotested of course that there was no necessity for such orders inasmuch\nas peace and security reigned supreme in all the Vilayets, but I told\nhim that I knew what was going to happen shortly as well as he did, and\nrefused to leave until he had despatched the telegrams in my presence.\"\nJudge Terrell then told me that it had long been known to him that the\nValis of all the Vilayets had received standing orders from the Sultan\nto massacre the Armenians (_a_) whenever they should discover any\nrevolutionary movement among them, (_b_) whenever they should hear of a\nBritish, French or Russian invasion of Turkish territory, and (_c_)\n_whenever they should hear that the Sultan had agreed to and signed a\nScheme of Reforms_.\nVIII\n THE BLUE-BOOK--THE EPIC OF ARMENIA'S MARTYRDOM, THE REVELATION OF\n HER SPIRIT AND CHARACTER--\"TRUTH\" ON THE ARMENIANS: A DIGRESSION\nTo realize, even approximately, the unimaginable barbarities that have\nbeen committed by the Turks during the Great Armenian Tragedy of 1915,\nit is necessary to read the Blue-book itself. But the Blue-book is a\nbulky volume, and the average man or woman has so many calls on his or\nher attention in these stirring and momentous times, that I fear it will\nnot be read as widely as it deserves to be read in the interests of\nhumanity, Christianity, and civilization. I have, therefore, thought it\ndesirable to quote a number of extracts which will give the reader some\nidea of the nature and magnitude of the horrors chronicled in that\nfearful epic of a nation's martyrdom, in the hope that they may thereby\nreach a wider circle of the public.\nApart from giving the reader a general idea of the atrocities\nthemselves, I have selected and grouped the extracts with the object of\ncalling attention to the incidental or subsidiary morals and lessons\nthey convey, which have received little or no notice in the Press\nreviews. The Blue-book reveals the spirit, the character and the ideals\nwhich lay hidden under the unattractive outside appearance of the\nArmenians, upon which has been based their mostly superficial judgment\nof them by European travellers. Often under the influence of a sense of\nindebtedness for an escort of Zaptiehs \"graciously placed at their\ndisposal by a kindly vali\" (in whose harem were probably languishing a\ndozen or more enslaved women), they have seldom paused to understand the\ntragedy of the dour, subdued, anxious mien of the Armenian peasant seen\ntrudging wearily along in the highways and byways of Asia Minor. They\nlittle realized that the Armenian lived under the strain of constant\nterrorism; that he never knew when the honour of his wife or sister\nmight be violently assaulted; when he might be stabbed in the back; when\nhis cattle might be driven away or his crops burned or stolen. He was\nafraid even of a too attractive personal appearance, lest he should\nexcite the cupidity and jealousy of his Turkish neighbour. If he fell\nupon his persecutor and slew him in defence of the honour of his\nwomenfolk, it meant the wiping out not only of his family but of his\nwhole village. His own government was his deadly enemy, bent upon his\ndestruction. This has been the tragedy of the Armenian's life for\ngenerations. It has been little known in the West because Armenia is a\nlong way off, and few European travellers have stopped to look below the\nsurface. He has lived with the _yatagan_ hanging over his head, like the\nsword of Damocles, from birth to death. Virile, industrious, patient,\nlong-suffering, but never despondent, he has clung to his faith, his\nsoil, his ancient culture, his nationality and ideals of civilization\nwith a tenacity that centuries of \"bloody tyranny\" have tended only to\nsteel more and more. That he has succeeded in preserving the ideals\nwhich have cost his nation such heartbreaking sacrifices is abundantly\nproved by the Blue-book. Here is one evidence: \"Mr. Yarrow, seeing all\nthis, said, 'I am amazed at the self-control of the Armenians, for\nthough the Turks did not spare a single wounded Armenian, the Armenians\nare helping us to save the Turks'\" (p. 70).\nBut of all the tales of calm, dignified heroism in face of death\nrecorded in the Blue-book, W. Effendi's letter (p. 133, and 504 of the\nBlue-book) written on the eve of his, his young wife's and infant\nchild's deportation to what he knew to be certain death, will ever stand\nout as an impressive example of the noblest heroism, the highest\nconception of the teaching of Christ and a complete triumph of the\nspirit, unsurpassed in the annals of Christian martyrdom. \"May God\nforgive this nation all their sin which they do without knowing,\" wrote\nthis true follower of Christ, while he was making ready for his and his\nloved ones' journey to sorrow and death. It recalls the story of St.\nStephen's martyrdom. W. Effendi's letter and Nurse Cavell's immortal\nwords, \"patriotism is not enough,\" strike me as the two most remarkable\nutterances delivered spontaneously by heroic spirits in proof of the\nbankruptcy of the \"frightfulness\" to which they were on the point of\nfalling victims.\nThere was a short notice in _Truth_ of January 31, 1917, in connection\nwith Armenia Day which contained the following remark: \"Some people\ndespise these 'eleventh Allies' as a mercenary race, but others, like\nMr. Noel Buxton, depict them in a much more attractive light.\"\nWith the reader's indulgence I will digress for a moment to deal briefly\nwith this totally unjustified stigma cast wantonly upon the character of\na sorely tried nation.\nIn the unoffensive sense of the word the whole human family may be\ncalled \"mercenary.\" I have not met or heard of a race of men in any of\nthe explored parts of the earth, whatever their colour, creed, or degree\nof civilization, who had any conscientious objection to the acquiring of\nas much money as they could acquire by legitimate and honourable means.\nI do not suppose _Truth_ itself is dispensing its very helpful \"Rubber\ntips\" week by week solely for the good of humanity. But if it is\nasserted that the Armenian race puts the love of gold before everything\nelse in life, such an assertion at this juncture is a particularly\nill-timed, offensive and unworthy aspersion. A mercenary race, forsooth!\nIf the Armenian race had valued gold above its loyalty to its faith and\nnationality; if it had attached greater value to material prosperity\nthan to spiritual ideals and principles, it would have accepted Islam\ncenturies ago--Heaven knows the temptation was great--and won a\npredominant position for itself in Asia Minor. It would be counted\nto-day not by two or three, but by twenty or thirty millions. But under\nthe longest and bloodiest pressure endured by any people in history,\nculminating almost in its extermination, it refused to sell its soul.\nThousands of Armenians could have saved their lives by feigning to\naccept Islam, but, with few exceptions, they refused to commit even\nthat measure of spiritual dishonesty, which would perhaps not have been\nconsidered unpardonable under the circumstances. There is scarcely any\ninstance of an Armenian woman trafficking her honour for money; which\nis, perhaps, the most eloquent refutation of the calumny.\nWhat good object has _Truth_ served by giving currency in its columns to\nthis libel against an oppressed people, almost wiped out because of its\nChristian faith and its sympathy for and support of the Allied cause?\nEven if there were the remotest justification for it one would have\nthought that _Truth_ would have shrunk, at this dark and bitter hour,\nfrom adding insult to the agony of a people plunged into sorrow and\nmourning for the loss of half its number. But the assertion that the\nArmenians are a mercenary race is not true. It is part of the propaganda\ncarried on by a very few people who are either blinded by unreasoning\nprejudice, or have some special purpose to serve, or believe that they\nare discharging some kind of duty by whitewashing the Turk and\nblackening the Armenian. I believe that these admirers of the votaries\nof \"bloody tyranny\" on the Bosphorus are very few indeed in this\ncountry. Whoever they are and whatever their motives, conscious of my\nobligations to the generous hospitality of this country--for which I\ncannot be too grateful--but taking my stand on the broader ground of\nHumanity, I wish to say to them, \"Though you are in Great Britain, you\nare not of it; though this great, humane and Christian country may be\nyour physical home by accident of birth, you will find your congenial\n'spiritual home' in the offices of Count Reventlow and the _Tanine_.\nCharity, after all, is a matter between a man and his conscience and his\nGod. If you cannot give your money to a starving woman or child without\nmassacring them morally, while the Turk is taking their life, pray spare\nyour money and let the Armenian die; it will please the Turk and his\nallies. Perhaps it would be more in harmony with your sentiments and\npolitical faith to lend your money to your friend the Turk. When the war\nis over he may need a fresh supply of arms, for even the tender limbs of\nthe countless women and children on whom he has practised his\n'chivalry' may well have blunted and worn his old stock.\"\nThere are mercenary Armenian individuals as there are mercenary persons\nin every nation. It may be that, debarred from government posts except\nwhen he was indispensable, the town Armenian in Turkey, like the Greek\nand Syrian, has been compelled to direct his energies into commercial\nchannels in a larger proportion than free and independent nations.\nNaturally, also, through generations of ruthless persecution, the\nArmenian nation has thrown up a flotsam and jetsam of indigents\nwandering far and wide in search of security and the means of earning a\nliving. But to brand the whole Armenian race as \"mercenary\" is\nmalevolent nonsense, or credulity due to a total ignorance of the facts.\nSeventy or eighty per cent. of the Armenians in Turkish as well as\nRussian Armenia are peasants, farmers and artisans. That is\napproximately true also of the Persian Armenians. Even in the United\nStates the majority of the immigrants have taken to fruit-growing in\nCalifornia. Armenians who have the means to give their sons a good\neducation almost invariably make them follow a profession in preference\nto commerce, as witness the number of Armenian university professors,\ndoctors, lawyers and some artists and painters of considerable merit in\nthe United States.[21] Probably no people have made the sacrifices made\nby Armenians, in proportion to their means, for the relief of distress\nduring the war. There have been a few exceptions among the very rich\nwhose moral sense has been blunted by luxury and self-indulgence. They\ncan be counted on the fingers of one hand. They belong to that class of\ncosmopolitan financiers and traders who are no more thrilled by the\nmusic of their country's or any country's name; who are unmoved by the\ncry of starving women and children of their own or any race; whose home\nis the world and whose god is gold; who are no more the masters but the\nslaves of money. But this, again, is not peculiar to Armenians; very far\nfrom it. It is a fraternity that embraces members of every, or almost\nevery, race; and Armenians are barely represented upon it. It is\npalpably misleading as it is inaccurate to assert that these represent\nthe Armenian nation. In fact, as far as my knowledge goes, the masses of\nthe Armenian people are ashamed of them, because their worship of gold\nand vanity are alien to the national spirit, and bring discredit upon\nthe nation. For generations Armenian educational and religious\ninstitutions have been maintained by voluntary grants; and I do not know\nthat any European citizen bears a heavier burden for the needs of his\nnation than does the individual Armenian.\nIt must not be supposed from what I have said that all, or the majority,\nof rich Armenians have been deaf or indifferent to their country's need.\nThat would be a mistake and an injustice. On the whole their response to\nthe call of their afflicted country has been satisfactory, considering\nthat they had obligations to the belligerent countries to which they\nowed allegiance. I know of one contribution of \u00a330,000,[22] while ten\nMoscow merchants raised a million roubles between them for their\nnation's needs. A prominent Armenian physician has relinquished a large\nand remunerative practice at Petrograd to superintend personally the\nadministration of an orphanage at Erzerum, which he has opened on his\nown private account. The Catholicos's palace at Etchmiadzin was\nconverted into a hospital for refugees in the early months of 1915.\nAlmost every Armenian peasant family in the Caucasus have housed and\ncared for one or more refugees in their humble cottages ever since the\ninflux of their distressed kinsmen from the other side of the frontier\nin the spring and summer of 1915. I have not marshalled these facts in a\nspirit of flaunting the virtues of my race--we certainly hold no\nmonopoly of all the virtues, or indeed of all the vices, to which human\nnature is heir--but I know of no better way to disprove the baseless\naspersions assiduously disseminated by some interested people for\npurposes of pro-Turkish propaganda and accepted by the credulous as\ntrue.\nLord Bryce has known the Armenian people longer and more intimately than\nany eminent European statesman, historian and diplomatist has ever done\nbefore, and his dictum will no doubt be generally accepted as that of a\ngreat and final authority. I therefore make no apology for quoting his\nlordship's most recent utterance on the subject reported in the _Journal\nof the Royal Society of Arts_, February 2, 1917--\n \"Having known a very large number of Armenians, he had been greatly\n struck, not only with their high level of intelligence and\n industry, but also by their intense patriotism. He did not know of\n any people who had shown greater constancy, patience and patriotism\n under difficulties and sufferings than the Armenians. He personally\n had always found them perfectly loyal. He had frequently had\n occasion to give them confidential advice and to trust them with\n secrets, and never on any occasion had he found that confidence\n misplaced.... As a proof of their loyalty and devotion to their\n country he might mention that the Armenians living in America had\n contributed sums enormous in proportion to their number and\n resources, for they were nearly all persons of small means, for the\n relief of the refugees who had been driven out by the Turkish\n massacres. No people during the war had done more in proportion to\n their capacities than the Armenians had done for the relief of\n their suffering fellow-countrymen. A large number of them were also\n fighting as volunteers in the armies of France, where they had\n displayed the utmost courage and valour in the combats before\n Verdun.\"\nTo return to the extracts from the Blue-book. Group \"A\" affords a\nmelancholy abundance of indisputable evidence that it was not Kurds and\nbrigands alone who did Satan's work in Armenia, but that the chief\nculprits were Turkish officials, high and low, officers, soldiers,\ngendarmes and rabble; even a member of parliament took a turn! They not\nonly played the principal part in the vast and revolting carnival of\nblood, lust and savagery, but they took a delight and pride in the part\nthey played, and laughed at the sufferings and tortures of their\nvictims.[23]\nGroup \"B\" bears evidence of a heroism and fidelity in torture and death,\nto faith, honour and the ideal of nationality, unsurpassed in the\nhistory of mankind, which must redound to the eternal glory of\nChristianity and to the honour of the Armenian name. I respectfully\nsuggest for consideration by the Heads of the Christian Churches that a\nday should be fixed to commemorate annually the martyrdom of this vast\nnumber of Armenian Christians.\nGroup \"C\" contains proofs of the conduct of insurgent Armenians in the\nunequal struggles for self-defence, and it should be remembered that\nthese are but a few instances, mainly of what was seen or heard of by\nforeigners. The ruined towns and villages, the silent fields and\nhighways of this land of blood and tears, what secrets of desperate\nheroism in defence of wife and child, mother and sister, these guard\nwill probably never be known. Group \"C\" also contains evidence of the\nfact that the Turks had to employ considerable bodies of troops to\novercome the desperate resistance of Armenians in many places, such as\nMoush, Sassoon, Van, etc. A third feature in this group is, that the\nTurks attributed their defeats in the Caucasus to the Armenians.[24]\nTaken together, these extracts, and the Blue-book from which they are\ntaken, form a better mirror of the characteristics of the two races than\nall that has been written on the subject for a century. They show the\nradical dissimilarity of their natures, and the vast difference between\nthe respective stages of civilization in which the two races find\nthemselves.\nWas it Buddha or Confucius who said that the principal difference\nbetween man and the rest of the animal world is, that man possesses the\nfeeling of pity for the pain and suffering of his fellow-men or animals?\nWhat would they think of this strange race of human beings who delight\nin torture and murder, sparing neither sex nor age, nor even unborn\nbabes and their mothers; who inflict pain and jeer at their victims?\nI remember reading in one of Mr. Lloyd George's speeches not long ago:\n\"It is not the trials one has to go through in life, but the way one\nfaces them that matters,\" or words to that effect. This is as true of\nnations as it is of individuals. \"In the reproof of chance lies the true\nproof of men,\" and of nations. How has the Armenian nation conducted\nitself in this great upheaval and borne the terrible ordeal revealed by\nthe Blue-book: an ordeal the horror and magnitude of which it is\nabsolutely beyond the power of the human mind to imagine? The Blue-book\nitself furnishes the answer. From the first day of the war, Armenians in\nall countries understood the nature of the issues involved. They had no\ndoubt on which side lay their sympathies, which were never influenced by\nthe varying fortunes of the war. They were exposed to grave risks and\npaid a terrible price. Could there be a better proof of intellectual\nrectitude and the sincerity of sentiment? This, I trust, will silence\nfor ever the dastardly reflections often cast upon the honesty of the\nArmenian people. There are some dishonest Armenians as there are some\ndishonest men in all nations. But, whether through prejudice, malice, or\nignorance of the facts, to brand as dishonest a whole people who have\nbeen on the Cross for half a millennium for their religion and\npatriotism, is unworthy of civilized and right-minded men.\nThere are two other important facts which the Blue-book establishes\nbeyond dispute. There was no revolt. Indeed, it would have been sheer\nmadness on the part of the Armenians to attempt a rising when their\nable-bodied manhood was with the colours. The second fact the Blue-book\nreveals is, that the Armenian party leaders did their utmost to dissuade\nthe Young Turks from joining the war. When the veil of war has lifted,\nand Europe comes to know more of what took place behind the scenes in\nConstantinople prior to Turkey's entry into the war, it will be seen how\nnear the personal influence and eloquence of the Armenian deputy Zohrab\ncame to turning the scale against the fateful and suicidal decision.\nThis brilliant young jurist, an intimate personal friend of Enver and\nTalaat who sought his advice almost daily, was murdered by their orders\non the way to Diyarbekir. Armenians have been charged with a lack of\npolitical aptitude as well as with treachery to the Ottoman Empire. I\nwould specially call the attention of those who hold these\nviews--Europeans, Moslems, and thinking Turks themselves--to the fact\nthat, at a time of crisis, it was the Armenians who saw clearly the path\nof safety for the empire, and showed their loyalty to it, in spite of\nall they had suffered in the past, by their councils of prudence to\nwhich the Young Turks lent a deaf ear.\nWhile on the subject of the Blue-book, I cannot refrain from saying\nthat I noted with profound regret the distinction that was evidently\nmade, in many cases, between Catholic and Protestant Armenians on the\none hand, and Gregorians on the other, in the efforts that were made to\nsave them from massacre or deportation. It is no secret that His\nHoliness the Pope and President Wilson intervened through their\nrepresentatives in Constantinople, and possibly in Berlin and Vienna, to\nstop the massacres. I record this fact with the deepest gratitude. Of\ncourse no such distinction can possibly have been made by the Pope or\nPresident Wilson, or their ambassadors; it was probably due to the\nwell-meant activities of subordinates or of local European or American\nresidents.\nNo doubt it was better to save Catholics and Protestants than none at\nall, but the very idea of any distinction being thought of, under such\nfateful circumstances, is obviously contrary to the spirit of\nChristianity, and the passages referring to it make sad reading to a\nChristian.\nFOOTNOTES:\n[21] Visitors to the San Francisco Exhibition will have seen and admired\nthe work of the Armenian sculptor Haik Partigian, whose exhibits, I am\ntold by one who saw them, were among the best, if not the best, of all\nthe exhibits in the Sculpture Section. Russia's great marine painter\nAivazovsky was an Armenian. The recently instituted Society of Armenian\nArtists is holding its first exhibition in Tiflis at the time of\nwriting.\n[22] It was reported in the Tiflis papers, after the above was written,\nthat Mr. Mantashian, the Baku oil king, has made a further donation of\n\u00a360,000 for agricultural improvements, and offered thirty thoroughbreds\nto improve the breed of horses in Armenia.\n[23] Some of the most distressing and disgraceful cases of Turkish\nbestiality appeared in Doctor (Major) Aspland's report on the hospital\nat Van, which was under his charge as representative of the Lord Mayor's\nArmenian Relief Fund. Describing some of the individual cases brought to\nhim for treatment, Dr. Aspland says--\n\"Here is a young woman leaving hospital to-day, who was raped by eight\nKurds. She has suffered for months, and even now, in spite of\noperations, will be crippled for the rest of her life. Here is _a small\ngirl aged five, similarly treated by Turks_, and is now lying in plaster\nof Paris in order to recover from injury to the hip joint.\"--(_Ararat_,\n[24] Compare this with the diary of a Turkish officer, reported in the\n_Russkaia Viedomosti_ (p. 75).\nIX\n EXTRACTS FROM THE BLUE-BOOK\n_Group A_\n\"The Archbishop of Erzeroum, His Grace Sempad, who, with the Vali's\nauthorization, was returning to Constantinople, was murdered at\nErzindjan by the brigands in the service of the Union and Progress\nCommittee.

She was forced into a compartment of an\nadjoining railway coach, in company with a Turkish woman.

This policy of broad, liberal justice has proved, under\nthe stern test of this great war, the highest statesmanship and the\nstrongest bond of empire. Freedom, justice, humanity have proved an\ninfinitely stronger impetus to loyalty than \"frightfulness,\" a stronger\ncement, a superior and better \"paying\" stock-in-trade of empire by far\nthan the jack-boot and the _yatagan_. The conclusive and practical\ndemonstration of this great fact by the British Empire will probably\nexercise a far-reaching influence for good on the future policies of\nempires and the liberties of mankind. The British Flag has not only\ncarried security, order and justice wherever it has gone, it has\nscrupulously respected religious and national sentiment everywhere. It\nhas not denied to the peoples under its sway, or attempted to suppress,\nthe sentiments and allegiances which it has itself held sacred. It has\nmaintained the freedom of the seas as I believe no international device\ncould have achieved it. I do not say this to please British readers. I\nhave lived and travelled among small peoples and subject peoples large\nand small, and that is the impression I have gathered. Thus the Union\nJack has become a symbol of freedom and fairplay the world over, and\npersecuted peoples have long had the conviction, deep down in their\nhearts, that British influence is continually at work towards their\nultimate liberation. If we were to reverse Mr. Gladstone's famous\nchallenge concerning Austria, and ask, _mutatis mutandis_: \"Can any one\nput his finger on the map of the world and say, 'Here the British Empire\nhas wrought evil'?\" it may be that Count Reventlow himself and the\nauthor of the \"Hymn of Hate\" might find themselves baffled. However\nopinions may differ as to the justice of some of her wars, the just and\nliberal treatment of the peoples that have come under British dominion\nis an indisputable historical fact to which the masses of mankind owe at\nleast as much gratitude as they do to the French Revolution. Ireland may\nbe singled out, and not without reason, if I may say so, as the one\nshaded spot on this bright page of the story of the spread of British\nliberty. To the neutral observer it certainly seems strange that\nIreland, so near the home of liberty and the stronghold of democratic\ninstitutions, should be so long denied the full and free enjoyment of\nthose blessings liberally bestowed upon the more distant parts of the\nempire. Possibly neutral observers do not and cannot understand the\ndifficulties and obstacles that have hitherto proved insuperable. It is\noutside the scope of my subject and beyond my competence to enter into a\ndiscussion of the Irish question here, but this much I may say, that\nIreland should convince rulers in all countries that material prosperity\nalone \"is no remedy.\" Security, order, prosperity, an efficient and\nequitable administration may palliate but can never heal a political\ninjustice. They can never satisfy the legitimate aspirations for\nself-rule of a high-spirited and cultured people conscious of a strong,\nindestructible will as well as the undoubted capacity to govern itself.\nOn the other hand, to compare the wrongs and sufferings of Ireland (and\nPoland) with the agony of Armenia, as is sometimes done, is to compare a\nheadache, an acute headache if you will, with the Black Death.\nIt is in keeping with the ill-fortune that has dogged the footsteps of\nthe Armenian people for five centuries that Armenia should have been the\none exception to the rule; the one country which has been denied the\nblessings and benefits that have accrued to every small people which has\ncome within the sphere of, or whose fortunes have been directly or\nindirectly affected by, the policy or interests of the British Empire.\nOne of the most striking features of what has been said and written in\nthis country on the treatment meted out by the Turks to their Armenian\nsubjects during the war has been the paucity of reference to the effect,\nincidental and indirect no doubt, but the real and disastrous effect,\nnevertheless, of British policy in Turkey since the Crimean War upon the\nfate of the Armenian subjects of the Turk. This is in contrast with what\nwas said and written during previous massacres, and is no doubt\nattributable to the fact of the country being at war. I am not touching\nthis aspect of the question in the way of a grievance. I well know, and\nmost gratefully recognize what the British Government and people have\ndone and are still doing for us during the long and ghastly nightmare\nthrough which we are passing. The noble and unremitting efforts of Lord\nand Lady Bryce, Lady Frederick Cavendish, Mr. Aneurin Williams, Mr. T.\nP. O'Connor, Miss Robinson, Mrs. and Miss Hickson, Mrs. Cole, Mr. Noel\nBuxton and his brother the Rev. Harold Buxton, Mr. Arthur G. Symonds,\nMr. Llew Williams, the Rev. Greenland, Mr. Arnold J. Toynbee, and so\nmany other friends of Armenia in this country, have placed us under a\nlasting debt of gratitude to them and to Britain. Lord Bryce's name will\nlive in Armenian history as long as Armenia lasts.\nBut I do think it is fair, in justice to the people of this great and\nrighteous empire, to one-half of the Armenian nation who have fallen as\nheroes and heroines both in war and martyrdom, and to \"the little blood\"\nthat is left to the Armenian people, that the facts in this connection\nshould be placed frankly and fully before the British public at this\njuncture, so that it may be able to form an equitable estimate of the\nreparation due to the Armenians, not only for the crimes and ravages\ncommitted by the enemy during the war, but also in the light of the\nobligations and responsibilities incurred by Europe in general and\nGreat Britain in particular for the Armenian subjects of the Ottoman\nEmpire by Art. 61 of the Treaty of Berlin and the Cyprus Convention.\nI have said \"Great Britain,\" but it would be more accurate to say \"the\nBritish Government of the day,\" for I firmly believe--in fact, who will\ndoubt?--that if the British people had had the slightest suspicion that\nthe Treaty of Berlin and the Cyprus Convention had in them the germs of\nthe disaster that has since overtaken the Christian subjects of the\nPorte, they would never have ratified those treaties. Nor do I suggest,\nI need hardly say, that the statesmen who are responsible for these\ndiplomatic instruments consciously and deliberately jeopardized the\nexistence of an ancient Christian people. Lord Salisbury's sympathetic\nutterances in 1895-96 show unmistakably how deeply distressed he was at\nthe grievous turn events had taken, and still more at the powerlessness\nof the Concert of Europe to save the Armenians from the position of\nextreme peril in which the Concert had placed them in 1878.\nSuccessive British Governments have made frequent attempts to improve\nthe lot of the Armenians; but the more they tried the more the Turks\nmassacred. There is no fairer-minded public than the British, whose\nhospitality and the blessings of whose rule I have gratefully enjoyed\nfor many years, as have some thousands of my compatriots in almost every\npart of the empire. There is also no one more ready and anxious to pay\nhis debt than the Briton when he knows what he owes. I have therefore no\nfear whatever of arousing any resentment by calling the attention of the\nBritish public to the existence of this old liability. On the contrary,\nI am convinced that the fact will be taken note of in good part, and by\nmost even thankfully. I read a Press article not long ago--it was, if I\nremember rightly, a review of Mr. Llew Williams's book, _Armenia Past\nand Present_ in _The Court Journal_--which ended with the following\nquestion: \"If these terrible things are true and we have any\nresponsibility, why are we not told so?\"\nAs regards the nature of the responsibilities and obligations, I refer\nmy readers to the Appendix, where will be found the texts of Art. 61 of\nthe Treaty of Berlin, Art. 18 of the Treaty of San Stefano--which was\ntorn up and superseded by the Treaty of Berlin--the full text of the\nCyprus Convention, and Lord Salisbury's Dispatch to Sir Henry Layard\ncontaining instructions for the negotiation of that Convention.\nI may here point out that though at first sight there appears to be\nlittle difference between the wording of Art. 16 of the Treaty of San\nStefano and Art. 61 of the Treaty of Berlin, there is this fundamental\ndifference between the application of the two clauses that, while the\nformer left the Russian Army in occupation of the Armenian provinces\nuntil the reforms should be an accomplished fact, the latter was a mere\nTurkish promise to be performed after their evacuation by the Russian\nforces. How the Turk performed his promise is well enough known, and\nforms the darkest page of modern history--probably of all history.\nThose who have the interest and the time for fuller information on the\nsubject I recommend to refer to Mr. Gladstone's famous speeches on the\nEastern Question and the Treaty of Berlin, the debates in both Houses of\nParliament on the massacres of 1895-96, Canon Maccoll's \"The Sultan and\nthe Powers,\" Mr. W. Llew Williams's \"Armenia Past and Present,\" and last\nbut not least, \"Our Responsibilities for Turkey,\" by the late Duke of\nArgyll. This frank and admirable commentary on the bearing of British\npolicy upon the Armenian question is now unfortunately out of print. I\ntherefore quote, with apologies, the following lengthy extract for the\nconvenience of those who may have difficulty in procuring a copy. It is\nan authority that will command general and respectful attention.[26]\n(The italics are mine.)\n\"Nothing can be more childish than to suppose that the significance and\neffect of such a change as this[27] can be measured or appreciated by\nlooking at the mere grammatical meaning of the words. The words seemed\nharmless enough. They may even seem to be most benevolent and most wise\nin the interests of the Christian subjects of the Porte in Armenia. But\nwhen we look at the facts which lay behind the words, and at the motives\nwhich were at work among the contracting parties, we must see that\nnothing could have been devised more fatal to their interests. The\nchange which the new words affected in the Treaty of San Stefano wounded\nthe pride and the most justifiable ambition of Russia to be the\nprotector of her co-religionists in provinces with which no other\nChristian Power had any natural connection. On the other hand, it\ndelighted the low cunning of the Turk, in constituting another 'rift\nwithin the lute' which by and by would be quite sure to make the 'music\nmute' of any effective concert between the Powers of Europe. The Turk\ncould see at a glance that, whilst it relieved him of the dangerous\npressure of Russia, it substituted no other pressure which his own\ninfinite dexterity in delays could not easily make abortive. _As for the\nunfortunate Armenians, the change was simply one which must tend to\nexpose them to the increased enmity of their tyrants, whilst it damaged\nand discouraged the only protection which was possible under the\ninexorable conditions of the physical geography of the country._[28]\n\"But this is not the whole of the responsibility which falls on us out\nof the international transactions connected with the Treaty of Berlin.\nAfter that treaty had been concluded, we entered by ourselves into a\nseparate, and for a while a secret, convention with Turkey, by which we\nundertook to defend her Asiatic provinces by force of arms from any\nfurther conquests on the part of Russia, and in return we asked for\nnothing more than a lease of Cyprus, and a new crop of Turkish promises\nthat she would introduce reforms in her administration of Armenia. No\nsecurity whatever was asked or offered for the execution of those\npromises. We simply repeated the old mistake of 1856, of trusting\nentirely to the good faith of Turkey, or to her gratitude. But this time\nthe mistake was repeated after twenty-two years' continued experience of\nthe futility of such a trust. As to gratitude, it must have been quite\nclear to the Turks that we were acting in our own supposed interests in\nresisting the advance of Russia at any cost.\n\"No doubt we had occasion to remember, with some natural bitterness, the\nsacrifice to Russia of all that the gallant General Williams had done\nfor Turkey in his splendid defence of Kars. But we ought to have\nremembered, also, how dreadful had been the account given by that able\nand gallant man of the detestable Government which he was defending. We\nought to have remembered how easy were the reforms which he had\nrecommended, if the Turkish Government had been honest; and how they had\nall been systematically evaded. We ought, above all, to have considered\nthe inevitable effect of this new treaty of guarantee upon the sharp\ncunning of the Turks. They saw how eagerly it was sought by us, and they\nmust have concluded that, whilst we were clearly not only earnest, but\nexcited, in our opposition to Russia, we were comparatively careless and\nlukewarm about any changes in their own system of government. _They must\nhave seen that the new convention_[29] _practically superseded even the\nslightest restraints put upon them by the Treaty of Berlin, and that the\nChristian population of Armenia were practically left entirely at their\nmercy._\n\"Let us look back upon all these transactions as a whole, and try to\nform some estimate of the position of responsibility in which they have\nplaced us towards the Christian populations subject to the Ottoman\ndominion. In 1854-56 we had saved that dominion from destruction by\ndefeating, and locally disarming, its great natural enemy. We had set\nup that dominion with new immunities from attack, and we had choked off\nfrom any protectorate over the Christians the only Power which would or\ncould exert any such influence with effect. We had done this without\nproviding any substitute of our own, except a recorded promise from the\nTurks. We had provided no machinery whereby bad faith on the part of\nTurkey could be proved and punished. Then, twenty years later, in 1876,\nwe had obstinately refused to join the other Powers of Europe in\nremedying this great defect, by putting a combined pressure on Turkey to\ncompel her to establish effective guarantee for the future. In 1878 we\nhad denounced the treaty in which Russia, by her own expenditure of\nblood and treasure, had imposed on Turkey the obligations which we had\nadmitted to be needful, but which we had ourselves declined to do\nanything to enforce. Then, in the same year, at Berlin, we had again\ndone all we could to choke off the only Power which had the means and\nthe disposition to secure the fulfilment of any promises at all.\n_Particularly in Armenia we had substituted for a promise to Russia\nwhich her power, her geographical position, and her pride might have\nreally led her to enforce, another promise to all the Powers which, on\nthe face of it, was absurd--namely, a promise to let all the Powers\n'superintend the execution' of domestic reforms in a remote and very\ninaccessible country._ Lastly, in the same year, as we had already\nchoked off Russia, we now proceeded by a separate Convention to choke\noff also all the other Powers collectively, by inducing Turkey to give a\nspecial promise to ourselves, apart from them altogether. For the\nperformance of this special promise we provided no security whatever,\nbut trusted entirely, as we had done in 1856, to the good faith of a\nPower which we knew had none. _With Russia deeply offended and\nestranged, and the rest of Europe set aside or superseded--such were the\nconditions under which we abandoned the Christian subjects of the Porte\nin Asia to a Government incurably barbarous and corrupt._\n\"And now, we are astonished and disgusted by finding that the terrible\nconsequences of all this selfish folly have fallen on those whom we had\nprofessed, and whom we were bound by every consideration of honour, to\nprotect. Surely these years might have brought us a reconsideration of\nour position. The fever of our popular Russophobia had sensibly abated.\nWe had secured our \"scientific frontier\" in India, and Russian expansion\nhad taken a new direction in the Far East. New combinations--and some\nnew disseverments--had taken place in Europe. The whole position of\naffairs was favourable to a policy of escape from bad traditions--from\nobsolete doctrines--and from duties which it was impossible we could\ndischarge. Surely we might have asked ourselves, What had we been doing\nall these years to fulfil those duties? Nothing. And yet all along we\nwere not ignorant that the vicious Government which we had so long\nhelped to sustain against all the natural agencies that would have\nbrought it to an end long ago was getting no better, but rather worse.\nWe knew this perfectly well, and we have recorded our knowledge of it in\na document of unimpeachable authority. In the second year after the\nTreaty of Berlin, when the obligations we had undertaken under it were\nstill fresh in our recollection, we had made one more endeavour to\nrecall the Ottoman Power to some sense of shame, if not to some sense of\nduty. In 1880 we had a special Envoy at the Porte, one of our most\ndistinguished public men--Mr. Goschen; and we had called together at\nConstantinople a meeting of all the Ambassadors of the six Powers of\nEurope who were signatories of the Treaty of Berlin. They drew up an\nIdentic Note, which they all signed and presented to the Porte. In that\nNote they declared that no reforms had been, or were even on the way to\nbeing, adopted, and that so desperate was the misgovernment of the\ncountry, that 'it would lead in all probability to the destruction of\nthe Christian population of vast districts.' Could a more dreadful\nconfession have been made in respect to the conduct and policy of any\nChristian Government?\n\"This Identic Note commented severely on the calculated falsehoods of\nall kinds, and on the cunning procrastinations, which characterized the\nconduct and language of the Porte. It concluded by reminding that\nGovernment, as an essential fact, 'that by treaty engagements Turkey was\nbound to introduce the reforms which had been often indicated,' and that\nthese reforms were to be 'carried out under the supervision of the\nPowers.'\n\"We might as well have addressed our representations to a convict just\nreleased from a long sentence, and determined at once to renew his\ncareer of crime. And so we had gone on for fifteen more years since\n1880, failing to take, or even attempt taking, any effectual measures to\nprotect the helpless populations subject to a Government which we knew\nto be so cruel and oppressive--_populations towards whom we lay under so\nmany responsibilities, from our persistent protection of their\noppressors_. At last comes, in 1894, one of those appalling outbreaks of\nbrutality on the part of the Turks which always horrify, but need never\nastonish, the world. They are all according to what Bishop Butler would\nhave called the 'natural constitution and course of things,' that is to\nsay, they are the natural results of the nature and government of the\nOttoman Turks.\"\nSuch is the nature of Great Britain's debt to us. It was rashly incurred\nby her statesmen. Successive British Governments have made strenuous\nefforts and run great risks to discharge it. But it has proved\nundischargeable for forty years, with consequences to us which are well\nknown. This terrible war and the ensuing peace will give Great Britain\nboth the power and the opportunity to discharge that obligation, and our\nweapons for enforcing our claim are the honour, the conscience and the\nnever-failing sense of justice of England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and\nthe British Empire. I appeal to these in the name of my sorely-stricken\nnation, pale, prostrate and bleeding almost to death, to stand by us and\nfight our battle at the Peace Conference. And if my appeal reaches a\nwide enough circle of British and Irish men and women, I am confident\nthat my nation will not die, but will live and prosper, and carve out a\nfuture that will amply compensate her for the past.\nFOOTNOTES:\n[26] _Our Responsibilities for Turkey_, by the Duke of Argyll, K.G.,\nK.T., John Murray, 1896, p. 72.\n[27] The supersession of Article 16 of the Treaty of San Stefano by\nArticle 61 of the Treaty of Berlin.\n[28] _Town Topics_ of February 10, 1917, had the following: \"The idiotic\nand ignorant criticism of the Navy one hears occasionally, recalls an\nimmortal answer by a harassed First Lord, during an earlier Armenian\natrocity (1895-96)--\n\"'Will the right honourable gentleman tell the House definitely whether\nit is proposed to send a British battleship to Armenia?' asked the bore\nwho worried about every country but his own.\n\"'It is not proposed to send any ships there,' replied the Minister\ngravely. 'Navigation, I am informed by expert advisers at the Admiralty,\nhas not been good in the vicinity of Ararat since the cruise of the\nArk.'\"\nWould to God that this intelligence had reached the Foreign Offices of\nEurope twenty years earlier, before the signing of the Treaty of Berlin.\n[29] The Cyprus Convention.\nXI\n AN APPEAL TO THE COMING PEACE CONFERENCE\nGentlemen, this historic conference has come together to draw up a map\nof a new Europe and a new Near East which will in no part violate the\nprinciple of nationality--the great weakness and inherent injustice of\nformer treaties, which has been largely responsible for the disastrous\nwar now happily come to an end.\nYou have also assembled as a great international tribunal to uphold the\nsanctity of law and humanity, and to give judgment as to the just\nreparation that must be made, and as to the penalties to be exacted for\nall outrages committed during the war against humanity and the laws and\nusages of civilized warfare.\nAmong the multitude of problems, great and small, that await a just and\nwise settlement at your hands, there is also the Armenian question.\nThis question may appear, to some of you at least, a small and\ninsignificant one in the presence of the great and weighty questions of\nworld-wide importance that await settlement. I claim for it without any\nfear of contradiction that in point of outraged humanity and\ncivilization, measured by the sacrifice of innocence, the magnitude and\nunspeakable horrors of the martyrdom, destruction and ruin that has been\nbrought upon this people with a calculated, deliberate object, and\nwithout the slightest provocation; I maintain that, on these\nincontestable grounds, this is the greatest Wrong that ever demanded\njustice and reparation at the bar of a great International Tribunal.\nAnd it is not Turkey and Germany alone who owe us reparation, although\nupon their shoulders lies the guilt for the innocent blood that has been\nruthlessly shed, the wanton destruction that has been wrought and the\nuntold suffering and sorrow brought upon this people during the war. All\nthe Great Powers of Europe have their share of responsibility for\nleaving them at the mercy of the Turk to be murdered, burned, outraged,\nenslaved, to provide this or that European Statesman the satisfaction of\nhaving scored a point against his opponent in the sordid jealousies and\nrivalries of conflicting interests.\nIn 1877 Russian armies, partly under Armenian generals, occupied our\ncountry, and we hoped and believed that the hour of our liberation from\nthe hideous nightmare of Turkish domination had struck.\nIt was a short-lived joy. The Congress of Berlin assembled soon after,\ntore up the Treaty of San Stefano which had given us the blessing of\neffective Russian protection, compelled the liberating Russian armies to\nevacuate our country, and left us once again the sport and prey of our\nTurkish and Kurdish tormentors.\nAfter the butcheries of 1895-96 Great Britain was prepared to exact\neffective guarantees from the Sultan Abdul Hamid, if necessary by force\nof arms, against a repetition of these unspeakable barbarities; but the\nRussian Government of the day, sore at the rebuff administered to it by\nthe Treaty of Berlin and the Cyprus Convention, opposed Great Britain's\nproposal of taking coercive measures to stay the hand of the Great\nAssassin.\nIn 1913 a Scheme of Reforms proposed by Russia formed the subject of\ndiscussion by the Powers, and was finally agreed to by Turkey after it\nhad undergone such modifications and revisions at the instance of the\nTurks, backed by Germany, as to render it of little practical value. The\nwar intervened before the scheme could be put into operation, and it\nremained a dead letter, as had all its predecessors. Meanwhile massacre,\noutrage, rapine, plunder, and all conceivable forms of oppression and\npersecution went on without respite, though in varying degrees of\nintensity, culminating in the frightful hecatombs of the last two years.\nAlthough, of course, such was not their object and intention, the net\nresult of these transactions was to give the Turk the opportunity, as\nevents have unfortunately proved, of murdering, burning, drowning,\ntorturing, violating, enslaving and forcibly converting to Islam at\nleast 2,000,000 unoffending and defenceless Christians within the\ncomparatively short space of forty years. I do not for a moment suggest\nthat the authors of these Treaties themselves foresaw such a result of\ntheir efforts. But that makes no difference to the result. Europe backed\n\"the wrong horse,\" as Lord Salisbury had the courage to say, and the\nstakes were the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent\nChristians--men, women and children--and a sum of human suffering and\nmisery such as the world has probably never seen before.\nI gratefully acknowledge the efforts made by the successive British,\nFrench, Russian and Italian Governments, from time to time, to bring\nmoral or diplomatic pressure upon the Turks to treat us with less\nharshness and inhumanity. But the Turk, Young and Old, knew that\ncoercion would never be used against him. He treated all European\nrepresentations with amusement and contempt and went his way\nrelentlessly, intent upon wiping out the whole race. He felt more secure\nfrom the danger of coercion after the Christian Emperor William II, on\nhis return from his pilgrimage to the Holy Land, paid a visit to and\nfraternized with the Sultan Abdul Hamid while his hands were still red\nwith the blood of the fearful massacres of 1895-96.\nThat, gentlemen, has been the net result of the solemn promises given by\nthe Turks in the Treaty of Berlin, for which every Signatory Power has\nits share of responsibility. Since that Treaty became the law of Europe\nwe have made numerous appeals and representations for the application of\nArt. 61. The reply we received from the Ministers of the Signatory\nPowers was almost the same every time and everywhere. \"Insistence on the\napplication of Art. 61 will lead to complications; you must wait for a\nfavourable opportunity.\"\nGentlemen, that long-looked-for opportunity has at last come.\nArmenia--\"the little blood that is left to her\"--stands at the bar of\nthis Conference, full of hope and expectation that the Entente Powers\nwill compel Turkey in the first place to make full reparation for the\nuntold horrors, outrages and injustices that she has inflicted upon her;\nthat they will compel Germany to compensate her for her acquiescence in\nthe atrocities committed by the Turks while Turkey was under her\ninfluence and control; and that they will add their own quota as a debt\nof honour and conscience in return for a part at least of what she has\nhad to endure as a result of the diplomatic transactions cited above,\nfor which they have their share of responsibility. You cannot give us\nback our dead, but this Conference gives you the opportunity of exacting\nand making a reparation as generous as our trials and sacrifices have\nbeen heavy.\n\"What do you expect this Conference to give the Armenian people as their\nadequate reparation and just rights?\" I would probably be asked.\nThis is what I should expect the Conference to give to my nation, in all\njustice and equity:\nThe formation of an autonomous Armenia, comprising the vilayets of Van,\nBitlis, Erzeroum, Kharput, Diyarbekir and Eastern Sivas, also Cilicia\nwith an outlet on the Gulf of Alexandretta, say from the port of\nAlexandretta to a few miles south-west of Mersina.\nThis State to be an internationally guaranteed neutral State with its\nports and markets open to all nations. It would have an Organic Statute\ndrawn up for it by the Protecting Powers, England, France, and Russia,\ngiving equality before the law to all the different elements of the\npopulation with extra-territorial rights and consular courts for\nEuropeans for a term of years. Russia to act as mandatory of the\nProtecting Powers, and during the first few years the executive to\nconsist of a Governor-General or High Commissioner and a mixed\nLegislative Council appointed by the Protecting Powers. A Legislative\nAssembly to be called together as soon as the country regains its normal\nstate.\nThe country being at present in a more or less chaotic state, an army of\noccupation will be necessary for as many years as will be required to\norganize and train an efficient gendarmerie from the local population.\nEuropean advisers and heads of departments would be necessary, but there\nare large numbers of experienced Armenian administrators, magistrates,\npost and telegraph inspectors, engineers, etc., etc., in the Ottoman\nEmpire as well as in the Caucasus, Egypt and the Balkans, who would\ngladly put their services at the disposal of their own country. Some\nwould probably come from America, India and elsewhere. Adequate\nfinancial compensation by Turkey[30] and Germany would place at the\ndisposal of the executive ample funds to begin the work of rebuilding\nthe ruined towns and villages and reconstruction generally, and to carry\non the Government of the country until the first year's harvest is sown\nand gathered and revenue begins coming into the Treasury.\nThis is the scheme I would propose in broad outline, it being impossible\nto go into details here.\n\"But there is not a large enough number of Armenians left to form a\nState,\" I may be told, as I have been told so often recently. (I may say\nhere, in parenthesis, that the Turkish and German delegates cannot\nadvance this objection, as their Governments have denied the existence\nof any massacres.)\nThat is an entirely mistaken assumption, created by the frequent but\ninaccurate use of the phrase \"Armenian extermination.\" The Turks did\nmake a final ruthless attempt to exterminate us, and have dealt us a\nstaggering blow as a race; but, gentlemen, they have not quite succeeded\nin their nefarious design, and it would be a sad day, indeed, for\ncivilization if such a design had succeeded.\nThere are to-day 500,000 Turkish Armenians in the parts of vilayets in\noccupation of the Russian armies, in the Caucasus and Northern Persia.\nFar from their spirits being broken, these people are animated with the\nunshakable determination that their beloved country shall rise again\nfrom its ashes and their nation revive and enter upon a new era of\nsecurity and free development. Armenians all over the world are animated\nwith the same spirit and determination. Of the above half-million 50,000\nor 60,000, mostly able-bodied men, are in different parts of the\noccupied provinces. There are a little over 250,000 refugees in the\nCaucasus and Persia, and some 200,000 emigrants and refugees from\npre-war massacres; most of them are ready to return to their homes, one\npotent reason for the readiness of the pre-war emigrants to return\nbeing the growing scarcity and dearness of land in the fertile parts of\nthe Caucasus. Then there are the hundreds of thousands of Armenians in\nconcentration camps in Northern Mesopotamia and Syria. How many are\nalive to return to their devastated homes, I cannot say. Perhaps the\nTurkish delegate will be able to inform the Conference on that point.\nThen there are still large numbers of Armenians--though mostly old men,\nwomen and children, so far as our information goes--in Anatolia and\nThrace, and over 200,000 mostly young, intelligent, ambitious men, who\nhave emigrated since the beginning of Abdul Hamid's reign of terror, to\nthe United States, Egypt, the Balkans, and different other countries. A\nnot unimportant number of these will return to their native land ready\nto \"do their bit\" in the--to them--sacred work of its reconstruction and\nregeneration with invincible industry.\nThis will give us within a very short time an Armenian population of not\nmuch under one million souls in the proposed Autonomous Armenia. It may\nnot form a majority taken as a whole, but it will form the largest\ncoherent ethnological element. In many important centres, such as Van,\nAlashgerd, etc., where there are almost no Turks left and a much smaller\nnumber of Kurds than there was before the war, it will form an absolute\nmajority. This is an important fact which the Conference should bear in\nmind. Although the Armenian element is sadly reduced in numbers, the\ngreat majority of the Turkish and kindred elements in these occupied\nprovinces have, as is their wont, followed the retreating Turkish armies\nand will probably never return. On the other hand, Armenians have for\nsome time past and do still percolate through the Turkish lines in\ngroups of various sizes and gain the Russian lines. This movement of\npopulation will almost certainly continue for some years, tending to\nincrease the Armenian and reduce the Turkish element in the proposed\nArmenian State, if such a State is set up. Similar movements of\npopulations have always taken place whenever any piece of Turkish\nterritory has passed under Christian rule.\nI may also remind the Congress that when Greece achieved her\nindependence, the population of Greece proper did not exceed 400,000.\nAnother important point bearing on this question of population is the\nfact, to which most students of Near Eastern affairs have borne witness,\nthat the Armenian race is endowed with extraordinary powers of\nrecuperation, is almost entirely free from the diseases that impede the\nrapid growth of population, and is one of the most prolific races in the\nworld. Their neighbours, on the evidence of travellers and students, are\nless free from disease and, in spite of polygamy, or perhaps partly\nbecause of it, are much less prolific.\nBut apart from mere counting of heads, it is, I believe, generally known\nand admitted that there is a vast difference between the moral,\nintellectual, economic, and industrial value of the Armenian population\nas compared with most of its neighbours, the Armenians being markedly\nsuperior in every field of human activity. They have proved this even\nunder the most trying handicaps, and when they have had a fair field\nthey have easily proved themselves the equals of Europeans. In fact,\nthe Armenian mind is much more European than Asiatic.[31]\nLord Cromer has said that \"the Armenians with the Syrians, are the\nintellectual cream of Near Eastern peoples.\"\nBut apart from all these practical and certainly essential and vital\nconsiderations there remains, messieurs, the moral argument which, I\nfeel quite certain, this august Conference, representing the will and\nthe conscience of Europe, is not minded to ignore.\nAfter the massacres and deportations of 1915 Talaat Bey is reported to\nhave said: \"I have killed the idea of Armenian autonomy for at least\nfifty years.\" Whether he said it or not, that was clearly the object--to\nkill the Armenian question by wiping out the Armenian race, and\nincidentally to destroy the roots of Christianity in Asia Minor.\nIs this Conference going to condone and justify the barbarous and\nrevolting practice, as a State policy, of the deliberate attempt to\nmurder a whole nation in cold blood, by permitting that infamous policy\nto succeed in its object?\nIs it conceivable that this historic Conference can bring itself to\ndecree that the myriads of our brothers and sisters who have fallen\nvictims to the super-tyrants' fury, for their religion and their nation,\nas well as those who have fallen in the common struggle for Right, have\nsuffered and died in vain?\nIn the name not only of the living, but also of the dead, I appeal to\nyou; I appeal to the heart and conscience of Europe to desist from\nenacting such a flagrant and cruel injustice.\nM. Paul Doumer, late President of the French Senate, declared in Paris\nnot long ago, with a fine sense of French chivalry and outraged\nhumanity, that when the question of Armenian population came to be\nconsidered at the end of the war, the dead must be counted with the\nliving. Who but my martyred nation has the moral right to invoke the\nmemorable and exalted words of the French officer who, at a moment of\ndire straits for men, looked at his fallen heroes around him and\nexclaimed \"Debout les morts!\"?\nI appeal to you, in particular, great and noble-hearted Russia, our\nmighty neighbour and protector. Our destiny is indissolubly bound up\nwith yours. Without the protection of your mighty sword and your most\ngenerous grants to our refugees, the Turk would have succeeded in his\nsinister design. We will remain ever grateful to you, and loyal to the\ndeath. We have always proved our unswerving loyalty to you in your hour\nof peril. We in our turn have rendered services which have been of value\nto you. Your generals gave our men great praise. Your foremost\nnewspapers hailed our soldiers and volunteers, and with truth, as the\nsaviours of the Caucasus. Your great Statesmen and Ministers declared in\nthe Duma that our terrible sufferings were chiefly due to our loyalty to\nRussia. Have trust in us. Help us to stand on our feet again and rebuild\nour devastated homes. _Leave us freedom to develop and progress\naccording to our own national genius._ Some of your newspapers are\nspeaking of a scheme to plant Russian colonies in Armenia, \"to create a\ndividing zone between the Russian and Turkish Armenians.\"[32] If this is\ntrue, it is an injustice. I am speaking candidly as a friend of Russia,\nand a supporter of my nationality as my birthright. Russians will always\nbe welcome amongst us. To show our feelings towards you I may mention\nthe fact that in conversation between themselves Armenians do not speak\nof you as \"Russians\" but as \"k\u00e9ri,\" which means \"uncle.\" But it is\nmanifestly unfair to establish colonies and apportion lands before the\nrepatriation of our numerous refugees, some of whom may be the owners of\nthe land given away. Besides, what is the object or the necessity of a\n\"dividing zone\" between the Turkish and Russian Armenians? We are all\nready to rally to your support again if the need should arise, as we\nhave always done in your righteous struggle against barbarism. Such\nmeasures, before the blood of our numerous victims is dry on our land,\ngrieve and perplex us. I say again, we welcome your protection, but\nenable us to say always, as Sir Wilfrid Laurier said of the French\nCanadians, \"We are loyal because we are free.\" With such just and\nliberal treatment from you, we will not only create in a short time\nimportant markets for your trade down to the shores of the\nMediterranean, but you will have in us a reliable bulwark and\ncounterpoise, on your southern frontier, against the turbulent elements\nwho are a standing menace to that frontier. The stronger you help us to\ngrow, the more secure that frontier of your empire will be.\nTo England, France and Italy I appeal jointly with Russia, to prevent\nthe Congress from finally condemning to death our long-cherished and\nlegitimate aspirations of national regeneration, for which we have paid\nsuch a fearful price. In particular I appeal to you to give us an outlet\nto the sea, not only as an indispensable necessity of our economic life\nand development, but also as the avenue of Western Culture which a hard\nand cruel fate has so long withheld from us.\nLet the radiant sun of liberty and security shine again on our land of\nsorrow and drive away for ever the stifling miasma of the Turkish\nblight, and there will spring to life, within a generation, a people\nwith a passionate craving for the light and progress of the West--a\npeople morally and mentally equipped and adapted for the assimilation of\nthe New Dispensation not only for its own benefit, but also for its\ndissemination amongst its less advanced neighbours--a well-qualified and\nwilling instrument and leaven of Christian civilization.\nFOOTNOTES:\n[30] A friend of mine, a Turkish Armenian well acquainted with local\nconditions, told me that \u00a350,000,000 would be a conservative estimate of\nthe material loss of the 1,200,000 massacred, deported, enslaved, but in\nall cases despoiled, Armenians.\n[31] M. J. de Morgan says in an article in _La Revue de Paris_ (May 1,\n1916): \"Les Arm\u00e9niens sont des Orientaux par leur habitat seulement,\nmais des Europ\u00e9ens par leurs origins, leur parler, leur religion, leurs\nmoeurs et leurs aptitudes.\"\n[32] The _Retch_, the organ of the Constitutional Democrats in Russia,\nhas published the following in its issue of July 28, 1916 (O.S.)--\n\"The scheme of settling Russian emigrants in the occupied parts of\nTurkish Armenia, recently discussed in the Duma, is being energetically\ncarried out. This matter has been the subject of a lively discussion\nbetween the Emigration and Military authorities. Investigations are in\nprogress, not only in the districts near the frontier, but also further\nafield, the fertile Mush valley being the object of special attention.\nAgricultural battalions have been in course of organization since last\nautumn and already number 5000 men. More will be found presently.\n_Armenians and Georgians are excluded._ The task of these young arms is\nto cultivate the fields on which investigations have been carried out,\nunder the supervision of agricultural experts, in order to facilitate\nthe provisioning of the army. The question of emigrating the families of\nthese men is also under consideration.\n\"Side by side with this scheme there exists another scheme of settling\nCossacks in Turkish Armenia, on similar lines to what has already been\ndone in Northern Caucasus with good results. _Those who have conceived\nthese schemes have in view the creation of a sufficiently broad zone\ninhabited by Russians, separating the Russian Armenians from the Turkish\nArmenians._\n\"Armenian refugees are gradually returning to their country and resuming\nthe work of cultivating their lands. They usually settle in the villages\nthat have suffered least, their own villages having been totally ruined.\n\"To avoid confusion, the Grand Duke Nicholas issued a Ukase in March\nlast, warning these returned refugees to keep themselves in readiness to\nvacate these districts on the establishment of Russian Civil\nAdministration. In the same Ukase the Commander-in-Chief of the\nCaucasian Army has decreed that the vacant lands in the plains of\nAlashkert, Diadin and Bayazid may be given in hire up to the time of the\nreturn of their rightful owners. _General Yudenitch has issued orders,\nhowever, prohibiting the settlement in these places of any other\nimmigrants except Russians and Cossacks._ Only those natives are\npermitted to return who are able to prove ownership of land or property\nby legal documents. This arrangement makes it impossible for the natives\n(Armenians) to return to their homes because it is ridiculous to speak\nof title-deeds, when dealing with land in Turkey; and as for other\ndocuments which prove ownership, these always get lost during flight.\n\"In the above three plains, also in parts of the plain of Bassain, the\nsurviving native inhabitants are debarred from returning to their homes\nand resuming their peaceful occupations.\"\nPOSTSCRIPT\nSince the foregoing pages were written and before they had left the\nprinter's hands, two momentous events have occurred which must\nprofoundly influence not only the remaining course of the war, but also,\nand more especially, the settlement of the peace on its termination: two\nevents that together mark the greatest triumph of democracy and\ncivilization the world has seen. The Russian revolution and the entry of\nthe great American Republic into the ranks of the champions of Right and\nHumanity have not only brought peace nearer, they have banished any\ndoubt that may have existed in the minds of sceptics both in belligerent\nand neutral countries that this war of wars is a struggle between the\nforces of Light and Liberty and the powers of Darkness and Reaction.\nAfter watching the course of the struggle for more than thirty months,\ntaking note of the difference between the methods of warfare employed by\nthe opposing groups of belligerents; after ascertaining their respective\naims; after long, patient and careful deliberation, the greatest of all\nthe neutral judges came to the conclusion that \"civilization itself\nseems to be in the balance.\" (It will not be forgotten in the Entente\ncountries, I feel sure, that though unlimited submarine \"frightfulness\"\nwas the immediate _casus belli_, the martyrdom of Armenia played an\nimportant part in leading President Wilson and the people of the United\nStates to that conclusion.) The world's greatest Democracy, imbued with\na deep-rooted love of peace and abhorrence of war as to which no doubt\nor suspicion anywhere exists, has broken away from a century-old\ntradition, which was the very foundation of its external policy, and\ndrawn the sword impelled not by ambition or the furtherance of material\ninterests of any kind, but by honour and the instinctive call of true\nchivalry to stand by those who have carried on a long and fierce\nstruggle to save the \"desperately assaulted\" free institutions,\nprinciples and ideals which are its own and humanity's most precious and\nsacred possessions. For the first time in history--I think one can\nsafely say that--a great nation, led by a great and sagacious leader,\nhas gone to war prompted almost entirely with the disinterested motive\nof upholding its own ideals and the ideals and rights of humanity--truly\nan event of which the best elements of the human race will always be\nproud; which will ever stand out as a bright and noble landmark in the\nhistory of the world.\nWhile these epoch-making events have stamped the cause of the Allies\nwith the seal of supreme moral sanction, they have also made assurance\ndoubly sure that the end of the war will confer upon the world a lasting\npeace based upon _real_ justice and equity. The presence of the\ndelegates of the United States at the Peace Conference side by side with\nthe representatives of the British Empire, France, Italy, and free\nRussia will constitute a sure and sterling guarantee to the world that\nthe determining factors in the moulding of its destinies will not be\nthe selfish interests, avowed or veiled, of this or that empire, not the\nwhims and ambitions of despots and ruling castes or the greed of\ncosmopolitan financiers, but \"the pure milk,\" of the broad interests of\njustice and peace, the rights of nations great and small and the freedom\nand welfare of mankind itself.\nTo the Armenian people it is a final pledge that the reparation to be\ndemanded and obtained for them, in the terms of peace will be\ncommensurate, in full measure, with the magnitude of the wrongs and\nsufferings inflicted upon them because, in a vast waste of ancient\nbarbarism and fraud, they formed an oasis embodying the ideals and\nprinciples which the democracies of Europe and America are struggling to\nvindicate.\nIf the great and free nations of Europe have greeted these auspicious\nevents with the satisfaction and enthusiasm we have witnessed in these\nlast days, it can be readily imagined how intense is the rejoicing they\nhave evoked in the hearts of the most ruthlessly oppressed of all\npeoples, so long denied the blessings whose advent has been placed\nbeyond all doubt by President Wilson's clarion call to Democracy and by\nthe declarations of the Provisional Government of free Russia.\nThat the declarations of the Provisional Government of free and\nregenerated Russia have been received with profound satisfaction by\nArmenians, goes without saying. These declarations added to those\nalready made by the Allied Governments in regard to their war-aims, and\nPresident Wilson's \"Declaration of Liberty\"--as his inspiring and\nmemorable address to Congress has been rightly called--finally ensure\nthe realization of Armenia's legitimate aspiration to freedom and\nself-government. And if the Russian people should decide that the new\nRussia shall be a Republic, that would open out the vista of a\nthoroughly democratic, integral and united Armenian State free to work\nout her regeneration according to her own national genius, under the\nguidance of the Protecting Powers and with their and America's generous\nmoral and material support.\nAmerica's interest in Armenia and the excellent work of her Missions in\nnumerous Armenian centres both in Armenia itself and throughout Asia\nMinor leave no doubt that when the time for reconstruction comes,\nAmerican aid--moral, material and cultural--will be forthcoming on a\nscale and in a manner worthy of that great country and the lofty aims\nfor which she entered the war. For, what part of the vast war-stricken\narea in Europe and the Near East more acutely and tragically exemplifies\nthe evils which the Allies and the United States are determined to put\nan end to once and for all, and what nobler and more fitting culmination\nto their gigantic efforts and sacrifices for humanity, than the\nredemption and re-birth of this thrice-martyred ancient Christian\npeople?\nBefore concluding, I take this opportunity to call attention to a\npassage in Mr. Asquith's speech in the House of Commons on the entry of\nthe United States into the war, which brings into strong relief the\nguilt of the Governments of the Central Powers in the stupendous crime\nof attempting the murder of a nation, although the occasion of the\nspeech was of course the very antithesis of the attitude of the Central\nPowers towards the Armenian atrocities.\n\"In such a situation,\" said Mr. Asquith, \"aloofness is seen to be not\nonly a blunder but a crime. To stand aside with stopped ears, with\nfolded arms, with an averted gaze, when you have the power to intervene\nis to become not a mere spectator, but an accomplice.\"[33]\nI am quoting this striking utterance by one of England's greatest living\nstatesmen also in the hope that it may furnish food for reflection to\nthose pro-Turks who have maintained during pre-war massacres, and still\nmaintain, with Count Reventlow and his followers, that the massacre of\nhis Christian subjects by the Turk is his own concern, and that nobody\nhas the right or the obligation to intervene and create new conditions\nthat will eliminate the possibility of its recurrence.\nFOOTNOTE:\nAPPENDIX\nARTICLE XVI OF THE TREATY OF SAN STEFANO\nAs the evacuation by the Russian troops of the territory which they\noccupy in Armenia, and which is to be restored to Turkey, might give\nrise to conflicts and complications detrimental to the maintenance of\ngood relations between the two countries, the Sublime Porte engages to\ncarry into effect, without further delay, the improvements and reforms\ndemanded by local requirements in the provinces inhabited by Armenians,\nand to guarantee their security from Kurds and Circassians.\nARTICLE LXI OF THE TREATY OF BERLIN\nThe Sublime Porte undertakes to carry out, without further delay, the\nimprovements and reforms demanded by local requirements in the provinces\ninhabited by the Armenians, and to guarantee their security against the\nCircassians and Kurds.

The Marquis of Salisbury to Mr. Layard, May 30, 1878.\n No. 2. Sir A. H. Layard to the Marquis of Salisbury, one Inclosure\n No. 3. Sir A. H. Layard to the Marquis of Salisbury, one Inclosure\nNo. 1 is the letter which conveys to Mr. Layard Lord Salisbury's\ninstructions for entering into the Convention (as follows)--\nTHE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY TO MR. LAYARD.\n Foreign Office, May 30, 1878.\n The progress of the confidential negotiations which have for some\n time past been in progress between Her Majesty's Government and the\n Government of Russia make it probable that those Articles of the\n Treaty of San Stefano which concern European Turkey will be\n sufficiently modified to bring them into harmony with the interests\n of the other European Powers, and of England in particular.\n There is, however, no such prospect with respect to that portion of\n the Treaty which concerns Turkey in Asia. It is sufficiently\n manifest that, in respect to Batoum and the fortresses north of the\n Araxes, the Government of Russia is not prepared to recede from the\n stipulations to which the Porte has been led by the events of the\n war to consent. Her Majesty's Government have consequently been\n forced to consider the effect which these agreements, if they are\n neither annulled nor counteracted, will have upon the future of the\n Asiatic provinces of the Ottoman Empire and upon the interests of\n England, which are closely affected by the condition of those\n provinces.\n It is impossible that Her Majesty's Government can look upon these\n changes with indifference. Asiatic Turkey contains populations of\n many different races and creeds, possessing no capacity for\n self-government[34] and no aspirations for independence, but owing\n their tranquillity and whatever prospect of political well-being\n they possess entirely to the rule of the Sultan. But the Government\n of the Ottoman Dynasty is that of an ancient but still alien\n conqueror, resting more upon actual power than upon the sympathies\n of common nationality. The defeat which the Turkish arms have\n sustained and the known embarrassments of the Government will\n produce a general belief in its decadence and an expectation of\n speedy political change, which in the East are more dangerous than\n actual discontent to the stability of a Government. If the\n population of Syria, Asia Minor, and Mesopotamia see that the Porte\n has no guarantee for its continued existence but its own strength,\n they will, after the evidence which recent events have furnished of\n the frailty of that reliance, begin to calculate upon the speedy\n fall of the Ottoman domination, and to turn their eyes towards its\n successor.\n Even if it be certain that Batoum and Ardahan and Kars will not\n become the base from which emissaries of intrigue will issue forth,\n to be in due time followed by invading armies, the mere retention\n of them by Russia will exercise a powerful influence in\n disintegrating the Asiatic dominion of the Porte. As a monument of\n feeble defence on the one side, and successful aggression on the\n other, they will be regarded by the Asiatic population as\n foreboding the course of political history in the immediate future,\n and will stimulate, by the combined action of hope and fear,\n devotion to the Power which is in the ascendant, and desertion of\n the Power which is thought to be falling into decay.\n It is impossible for Her Majesty's Government to accept, without\n making an effort to avert it, the effect which such a state of\n feeling would produce upon regions whose political condition deeply\n concerns the Oriental interests of Great Britain. They do not\n propose to attempt the accomplishment of this object by taking\n military measures for the purpose of replacing the conquered\n districts in the possession of the Porte. Such an undertaking would\n be arduous and costly, and would involve great calamities, and it\n would not be effective for the object which Her Majesty's\n Government have in view, unless subsequently strengthened by\n precautions which can be taken almost as effectually without\n incurring the miseries of a preliminary war. The only provision\n which can furnish a substantial security for the stability of\n Ottoman rule in Asiatic Turkey, and which would be as essential\n after the re-conquest of the Russian annexations as it is now, is\n an engagement on the part of a Power strong enough to fulfil it,\n that any further encroachments by Russia upon Turkish territory in\n Asia will be prevented by force of arms. Such an undertaking, if\n given fully and unreservedly, will prevent the occurrence of the\n contingency which would bring it into operation, and will, at the\n same time, give to the populations of the Asiatic provinces the\n requisite confidence that Turkish rule in Asia is not destined to a\n speedy fall.\n There are, however, two conditions which it would be necessary for\n the Porte to subscribe before England could give such assurance.\n Her Majesty's Government intimated to the Porte, on the occasion of\n the Conference at Constantinople, that they were not prepared to\n sanction misgovernment and oppression, and it will be requisite,\n before they can enter into any agreement for the defence of the\n Asiatic territories of the Porte in certain eventualities, that\n they should be formally assured of the intention of the Porte to\n introduce the necessary reforms into the government of the\n Christian and other subjects of the Porte in these regions. It is\n not desirable to require more than an engagement in general terms;\n for the specific measures to be taken could only be defined after a\n more careful inquiry and deliberation than could be secured at the\n present juncture.\n It is not impossible that a careful selection and a faithful\n support of the individual officers to whom power is to be entrusted\n in those countries would be a more important element in the\n improvement of the condition of the people than even legislative\n changes; but the assurances required to give England a right to\n insist on satisfactory arrangements for these purposes will be an\n indispensable part of any agreement to which Her Majesty's\n Government could consent. It will further be necessary, in order to\n enable Her Majesty's Government efficiently to execute the\n engagements now proposed, that they should occupy a position near\n the coast of Asia Minor and Syria. The proximity of British\n officers, and, if necessary, British troops, will be the best\n security that all the objects of this agreement shall be attained.\n The Island of Cyprus appears to them to be in all respects the most\n available for this object. Her Majesty's Government do not wish to\n ask the Sultan to alienate territory from his sovereignty or to\n diminish the receipts which now pass into his Treasury. They will,\n therefore, propose that, while the administration and occupation of\n the island shall be assigned to Her Majesty, the territory shall\n still continue to be part of the Ottoman Empire, and that the\n excess of the revenue over the expenditure, whatever it at present\n may be, shall be paid over annually by the British Government to\n the Treasury of the Sultan.\n Inasmuch as the whole of this proposal is due to the annexations\n which Russia has made in Asiatic Turkey, and the consequences which\n it is apprehended will flow therefrom, it must be fully understood\n that, if the cause of the danger should cease, the precautionary\n agreement will cease at the same time. If the Government of Russia\n should at any time surrender to the Porte the territory it has\n acquired in Asia by the recent war, the stipulations in the\n proposed agreements will cease to operate, and the island will be\n immediately evacuated.\n I request, therefore, your Excellency to propose to the Porte to\n agree to a Convention to the following effect, and I have to convey\n to you full authority to conclude the same on behalf of the Queen\n and of Her Majesty's Government--\n \"If Batoum, Ardahan, Kars, or any of them shall be retained by\n Russia, and if any attempt shall be made at any future time by\n Russia to take possession of any further portion of the Asiatic\n territories of the Sultan, as fixed by the definitive Treaty of\n Peace, England engages to join the Sultan in defending them by\n force of arms. In return, the Sultan promises to England to\n introduce necessary reforms (to be agreed upon later between the\n two Powers) into the government of the Christian and other subjects\n of the Porte in these territories; and, in order to enable England\n to make necessary provision for executing her engagement the Sultan\n further consents to assign the Island of Cyprus to be occupied and\n administered by England.\"\n (Signed) SALISBURY.\nNo. 2 is the Convention itself, as follows--\nARTICLE I\nIf Batoum, Ardahan, Kars, or any of them shall be retained by Russia,\nand if any attempt shall be made at any future time by Russia to take\npossession of any further territories of His Imperial Majesty the Sultan\nin Asia, as fixed by the definitive Treaty of Peace, England engages to\njoin His Imperial Majesty the Sultan in defending them by force of arms.\nIn return, His Imperial Majesty the Sultan promises to England to\nintroduce necessary reforms, to be agreed upon later by the two Powers,\ninto the government and for the protection of the Christian and other\nsubjects of the Porte in these territories; and in order to enable\nEngland to make necessary provision for executing her engagement His\nImperial Majesty the Sultan further consents to assign the Island of\nCyprus to be occupied and administered by England.\nARTICLE II\nThe present Convention shall be ratified, and the ratifications thereof\nshall be exchanged, within the space of one month, or sooner if\npossible.\nIn Witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the\nsame, and have affixed thereto the seal of their arms.\nDone at Constantinople, the fourth day of June, in the year One thousand\neight hundred and seventy-eight.\n(L.S.) A. H. LAYARD.\n(L.S.) SAFVET.\nNo. 3 is the Annex to the above Convention, consisting of Six Articles,\nsigned at Constantinople on July 1, 1878, by A. H. Layard and Safvet\nrespectively. The first five Articles deal with the manner in which the\nIsland of Cyprus would be governed, whilst under British occupation. The\nfinal Article, viz. Article VI, is as follows--\n \"That if Russia restores to Turkey Kars and the other Conquests\n made by her in Armenia during the last war, the Island of Cyprus\n will be evacuated by England; and the Convention of June 4, 1878,\n will be at an end.\"\nNOTE\n\"The Turanian movement is not the spasmodic effort of a few enthusiasts.\nIt represents a carefully matured plan most elaborately studied in its\nphilosophical and practical aspects, and carried out on a vast and\nambitious scale. The spirit of its teaching has been made to permeate\nall classes of the purely Turkish population, including women; while, in\nthe army, it has been taught in the shape of a patriotic creed, and the\nforce of military discipline has been laid at the service of its\npromoters. The movement, therefore, no longer expresses the creed of a\nlimited number of nationalist fanatics, represented by the Central\nCommittee of Union and Progress, or the extremist section of it, but of\npractically the whole of the Turkish people, backed by the formidable\npower of the army. Thus, the view that would represent the Turkish\npeople as unwitting or unwilling tools in the hands of the Unionist\nGovernment can no longer be accepted. The Turkish race as a whole, with\nbut few exceptions, stands convicted of indulging in a wanton political\ndream, for the realization of which it seized the opportunity of the\nworld-war to commit most atrocious crimes. It is true that the initial\nresponsibility lies with the C.U.P., but the whole of the Turkish nation\nhas since shared the responsibility by its ready response. This is borne\nout by the easy success attained by the Unionist Government in\nmodifying--with hardly a dissentient voice--the system of State\neducation, embracing even the elementary schools, and in\nmisappropriating the _Wakfs_ funds.\n\"Military officers of the higher grades were instructed to pay\nperiodical visits to the barracks and there deliver lectures of a mixed\nreligious and racial character, prepared by the Government. Were not the\nTurkish heart a ready soil, such sowings would not have yielded such an\nearly and abundant harvest. In spite of successive admixtures of blood,\nthe Turks have retained the original instincts of the wild men of the\nSteppes, and a creed aiming at conquest and domination through\ndestruction and bloodshed found eager response in their souls. Islam,\nsympathetic as it is, despite its militant character, was sacrificed for\nthe realization of this widest of human dreams. There was not enough of\n'iron and blood' in its teaching. The Turanian creed, framed on the\nPrussian pattern of militarism, appealed a thousand times more to the\nTurks' savage nature; and the proof is that, without any compulsion\nbeing employed, it quickly supplanted the religious heritage of\ncenturies. The troops took up readily the heroic Turanian songs in place\nof the usual prayers which had, until lately, been compulsory, but are\nso no more. The simplest of Anatolians willingly accepted the idea that\nthe prophet of later days is Enver! The fundamental rules of Islam\nbecame, for them, the Testimony (for the unity of God), Reason,\nCharacter, and the Collection of contributions for the Government and\nthe War under the Turkish banner.\"\n(From an article entitled \"Turanian and Moslem\" in _The Near East_,\nFOOTNOTE:\n[34] By a curious irony of events, at the time these lines were written\nby the great English statesman, Egypt was governed by an Armenian Prime\nMinister, Nubar Pasha, while the victorious Russian Army in the Caucasus\nwas under the command of the Armenian General Loris Melikoff, the victor\nof Kars, who later became Minister of the Interior and one of the most\ntrusted advisers of the Czar Liberator. It is interesting to note that\nEgypt had an Armenian Prime Minister during the reign of the Khalif\nAl-Mustansir (1036-94) by the name of Badr-el-Gamali (probably a\nvariation of Bedros Gamalian), \"who governed wisely and well for twenty\nyears (1073-94).\"--_See_ ADRIAN FORTESCUE: _The Lesser Eastern\nChurches_, p. 237.\nPRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY RICHARD CLAY & SONS, LIMITED, BRUNSWICK ST.,\nSTAMFORD ST., S.E., AND BUNGAY, SUFFOLK.", "source_dataset": "gutenberg", "source_dataset_detailed": "gutenberg - Armenia and the War\n"}, {"source_document": "", "creation_year": 1942, "culture": " English\n", "content": "Produced by Charlie Howard and the Online Distributed\nproduced from images generously made available by The\nInternet Archive/American Libraries.)\nTranscriber's Note:\nThe original text contained images of three handwritten letters and one\ntyped letter.

It is the carefully\nsifted story of the records and contemporaneous witnesses, and for\nclearness I have here and there introduced General Longstreet\u2019s\npersonal version of some of the disputed points. But the reader will\nperceive that at last it is the _story of the records_.\nFor my undertaking I drew liberally from General Longstreet\u2019s memoirs\nof the war, \u201cManassas to Appomattox;\u201d from his stores of knowledge in\nthe military art, and his treasure-house of memories of the Titanic\nencounter on the field of Gettysburg. The war-pictures included herein\nare also from the above-mentioned volume. And I am gratefully indebted\nto Captain Leslie J.

Please\n express my sincere regrets to the noble Army of the Potomac, and\n accept them, especially, for yourself.\n \u201cOn that field you made your mark that will place you prominently\n before the world as one of the leading figures of the most\n important battle of the Civil War. As a Northern veteran once\n remarked to me, \u2018General Sickles can well afford to leave a leg\n on that field.\u2019\n \u201cI believe it is now conceded that the advanced position at the\n Peach-Orchard, taken by your corps and under your orders saved\n that battle-field to the Union cause. It was the sorest and\n saddest reflection of my life for many years; but, to-day, I can\n say, with sincerest emotion, that it was and is the best that\n could have come to us all, North and South; and I hope that the\n nation, reunited, may always enjoy the honor and glory brought to\n it by the grand work.\n \u201cPlease offer my kindest salutations to your governor and your\n fellow-comrades of the Army of the Potomac.\n \u201cAlways yours sincerely,\n (Signed) \u201cJAMES LONGSTREET,\n \u201c_Lieutenant-General Confederate Army_.\u201d\nEarly in December advance chapters were given to the press for January\n3; by strangely pathetic coincidence that being the date on which\npublic announcement was made of General Longstreet\u2019s death.\nThis hour does not clamor for the charity of silence, but for the white\nlight of truth which I reverently undertake to throw upon the deeds of\nthe commander who, from Manassas to Appomattox, was the strong right\narm of the Confederate States Army.\nI was writing for love of him whose dear name and fame had been\nattacked; to place before his fading vision enduring appreciation of\nhis valiant deeds as a soldier and high qualities as a gentleman.\nProvidence decreed otherwise.

Grant 334\nINTRODUCTION\nBY MAJOR-GENERAL D. E. SICKLES, U.S.A.\nI am glad to write an introduction to a memoir of Lieutenant-General\nLongstreet.\nIf it be thought strange that I should write a preface to a memoir\nof a conspicuous adversary, I reply that the Civil War is only a\nmemory, its asperities are forgotten, both armies were American, old\narmy friendships have been renewed and new army friendships have been\nformed among the combatants, the truth of history is dear to all of\nus, and the amenities of chivalrous manhood are cherished alike by the\nNorth and the South, when justice to either is involved. Longstreet\u2019s\nsplendid record as a soldier needs neither apologies nor eulogium. And\nif I venture, further along in this introduction, to defend him from\nunfair criticism, it is because my personal knowledge of the battle\nof July 2, 1863, qualifies me to testify in his behalf. It was the\nfortune of my corps to meet Longstreet on many great fields. It is now\nmy privilege to offer a tribute to his memory. As Colonel Damas says in\n\u201cThe Lady of Lyons,\u201d after his duel with Melnotte, \u201cIt\u2019s astonishing\nhow much I like a man after I\u2019ve fought with him.\u201d\nOften adversaries on the field of battle, we became good friends after\npeace was restored. He supported President Grant and his successors in\ntheir wise policy of restoration. Longstreet\u2019s example was the rainbow\nof reconciliation that foreshadowed real peace between the North and\nSouth. He drew the fire of the irreconcilable South. His statesmanlike\nforecast blazed the path of progress and prosperity for his people,\nimpoverished by war and discouraged by adversity. He was the first\nof the illustrious Southern war leaders to accept the result of the\ngreat conflict as final. He folded up forever the Confederate flag he\nhad followed with supreme devotion, and thenceforth saluted the Stars\nand Stripes of the Union with unfaltering homage. He was the trusted\nservant of the republic in peace, as he had been its relentless foe in\nwar. The friends of the Union became his friends, the enemies of the\nUnion his enemies.\nI trust I may be pardoned for relating an incident that reveals the\nsunny side of Longstreet\u2019s genial nature. When I visited Georgia, in\nMarch, 1892, I was touched by a call from the General, who came from\nGainesville to Atlanta to welcome me to his State. On St. Patrick\u2019s\nDay we supped together as guests of the Irish Societies of Atlanta,\nat their banquet. We entered the hall arm in arm, about nine o\u2019clock\nin the evening, and were received by some three hundred gentlemen,\nwith the wildest and loudest \u201crebel yell\u201d I had ever heard. When I\nrose to respond to a toast in honor of the Empire State of the North,\nLongstreet stood also and leaned with one arm on my shoulder, the\nbetter to hear what I had to say, and this was a signal for another\noutburst. I concluded my remarks by proposing,--\n \u201cHealth and long life to my old adversary, Lieutenant-General\n Longstreet,\u201d\nassuring the audience that, although the General did not often make\nspeeches, he would sing the \u201cStar-Spangled Banner.\u201d This was, indeed,\na risky promise, as I had never heard the General sing. I was greatly\nrelieved by his exclamation:\n\u201cYes, I will sing it!\u201d\nAnd he did sing the song admirably, the company joining with much\nenthusiasm.\nAs the hour was late, and we had enjoyed quite a number of potations of\nhot Irish whiskey punch, we decided to go to our lodgings long before\nthe end of the revel, which appeared likely to last until daybreak.\nWhen we descended to the street we were unable to find a carriage, but\nLongstreet proposed to be my guide; and, although the streets were dark\nand the walk a long one, we reached my hotel in fairly good form. Not\nwishing to be outdone in courtesy, I said,--\n\u201cLongstreet, the streets of Atlanta are very dark and it is very late,\nand you are somewhat deaf and rather infirm; now I must escort you to\nyour head-quarters.\u201d\n\u201cAll right,\u201d said Longstreet; \u201ccome on and we\u2019ll have another handshake\nover the bloody chasm.\u201d\nWhen we arrived at his stopping-place and were about to separate, as I\nsupposed, he turned to me and said,--\n\u201cSickles, the streets of Atlanta are very dark and you are lame, and\na stranger here, and do not know the way back to your hotel; I must\nescort you home.\u201d\n\u201cCome along, Longstreet,\u201d was my answer.\nOn our way to the hotel, I said to him,--\n\u201cOld fellow, I hope you are sorry for shooting off my leg at\nGettysburg. I suppose I will have to forgive you for it some day.\u201d\n\u201cForgive me?\u201d Longstreet exclaimed. \u201cYou ought to thank me for leaving\nyou one leg to stand on, after the mean way you behaved to me at\nGettysburg.\u201d\nHow often we performed escort duty for each other on that eventful\nnight I have never been able to recall with precision; but I am quite\nsure that I shall never forget St. Patrick\u2019s Day in 1892, at Atlanta,\nGeorgia, when Longstreet and I enjoyed the good Irish whiskey punch at\nthe banquet of the Knights of St. Patrick.\nAfterwards Longstreet and I met again, at Gettysburg, this time as the\nguests of John Russell Young, who had invited a number of his literary\nand journalistic friends to join us on the old battle-field. We rode in\nthe same carriage. When I assisted the General in climbing up the rocky\nface of Round Top, he turned to me and said,--\n\u201cSickles, you can well afford to help me up here now, for if you had\nnot kept me away so long from Round Top on the 2d of July, 1863,\nthe war would have lasted longer than it did, and might have had a\ndifferent ending.\u201d\nAs he said this, his stern, leonine face softened with a smile as sweet\nas a brother\u2019s.\nWe met in March, 1901, at the reception given to President McKinley on\nhis second inauguration. In the midst of the great throng assembled on\nthat occasion Longstreet and I had quite a reception of our own. He\nwas accompanied on this occasion by Mrs. Longstreet. Every one admired\nthe blended courtliness and gallantry of the veteran hero towards the\nladies who were presented to him and his charming wife.\nAt the West Point Centennial Longstreet and I sat together on the\ndais, near President Roosevelt, the Secretary of War, Mr. Root, and\nthe commander of the army, Lieutenant-General Miles. Here among his\nfellow-graduates of the Military Academy, he received a great ovation\nfrom the vast audience that filled Cullum Hall. Again and again he was\ncheered, when he turned to me, exclaiming,--\n\u201cSickles, what are they all cheering about?\u201d\n\u201cThey are cheering you, General,\u201d was my reply.\nJoy lighted up his countenance, the war was forgotten, and Longstreet\nwas at home once more at West Point.\nAgain we stood upon the same platform, in Washington, on May\n30,--Memorial Day,--1902. Together we reviewed, with President\nRoosevelt, the magnificent column of Union veterans that marched past\nthe President\u2019s reviewing-stand. That evening Longstreet joined me in a\nvisit to a thousand or more soldiers of the Third Army Corps, assembled\nin a tent near the White House. These veterans, with a multitude of\ntheir comrades, had come to Washington to commemorate another Memorial\nDay in the Capitol of the Nation. The welcome given him by this crowd\nof old soldiers, who had fought him with all their might again and\nagain, on many battle-fields, could hardly have been more cordial if he\nhad found himself in the midst of an equal number of his own command.\nHis speech to the men was felicitous, and enthusiastically cheered. In\nan eloquent peroration he said, \u201cI hope to live long enough to see my\nsurviving comrades march side by side with the Union veterans along\nPennsylvania Avenue, and then I will die happy.\u201d This was the last time\nI met Longstreet.\nLongstreet was unjustly blamed for not attacking earlier in the day,\non July 2, 1863, at Gettysburg. I can answer that criticism, as I know\nmore about the matter than the critics. If he had attacked in the\nmorning, as it is said he should have done, he would have encountered\nBuford\u2019s division of cavalry, five thousand sabres, on his flank, and\nmy corps would have been in his front, as it was in the afternoon.\nIn a word, all the troops that opposed Longstreet in the afternoon,\nincluding the Fifth Army Corps and Caldwell\u2019s division of the Second\nCorps, would have been available on the left flank of the Union army in\nthe morning. Every regiment and every battery that fired a shot in the\nafternoon was on the field in the morning, and would have resisted an\nassault in the morning as stubbornly as in the afternoon. Moreover,\nif the assault had been made in the morning, Law\u2019s strong brigade of\nAlabamians could not have assisted in the attack, as they did not\narrive on the field until noon. On the other hand, if Lee had waited\nan hour later, I would have been on Cemetery Ridge, in compliance with\nGeneral Meade\u2019s orders, and Longstreet could have marched, unresisted,\nfrom Seminary Ridge to the foot of Round Top, and might, perhaps, have\nunlimbered his guns on the summit.\nGeneral Meade\u2019s telegram to Halleck, dated 3 P.M., July 2, does not\nindicate that Lee was then about to attack him. At the time that\ndespatch was sent, a council of corps commanders was assembled at\nGeneral Meade\u2019s head-quarters. It was broken up by the sound of\nLongstreet\u2019s artillery. The probability is that Longstreet\u2019s attack\nheld the Union army at Gettysburg. If Longstreet had waited until a\nlater hour, the Union army might have been moving towards Pipe Creek,\nthe position chosen by General Meade on June 30.\nThe best proof that Lee was not dissatisfied with Longstreet\u2019s\nmovements on July 2 is the fact that Longstreet was intrusted with\nthe command of the column of attack on July 3,--Lee\u2019s last hope at\nGettysburg. Of the eleven brigades that assaulted the Union left\ncentre on July 3, only three of them--Pickett\u2019s division--belonged\nto Longstreet\u2019s corps, the other eight brigades belonged to Hill\u2019s\ncorps. If Longstreet had disappointed Lee on July 2, why would Lee,\non the next day, give Longstreet a command of supreme importance, of\nwhich more than two-thirds of the troops were taken from another corps\ncommander?\nLongstreet did not look for success on July 3. He told General Lee that\n\u201cthe fifteen thousand men who could make a successful assault over that\nfield had never been arrayed for battle,\u201d and yet the command was\ngiven to Longstreet. Why? Because the confidence of Lee in Longstreet\nwas unshaken; because he regarded Longstreet as his most capable\nlieutenant.\nLongstreet was never censured for the failure of the assault on July\n3, although General Lee intimates, in his official report, that it was\nnot made as early in the day as was expected. Why, then, is Longstreet\nblamed by them for the failure on July 2, when no fault was found by\nGeneral Lee with Longstreet\u2019s dispositions on that day? The failure\nof both assaults must be attributed to insurmountable obstacles,\nwhich no commander could have overcome with the force at Longstreet\u2019s\ndisposal,--seventeen thousand men on July 2, and fifteen thousand men\non July 3, against thirty thousand adversaries!\nIn General Lee\u2019s official report not a word appears about any delay in\nLongstreet\u2019s movements on July 2, although, referring to the assault of\nJuly 3, General Lee says, \u201cGeneral Longstreet\u2019s dispositions were not\ncompleted as early as was expected.\u201d If General Lee did not hesitate to\npoint out unlooked for delay on July 3, why was he silent about delay\non July 2? His silence about delay on July 2 implies that there was\nnone on July 2. _Expresio unius exclusio alterius._\nGeneral Lee says, in his report, referring to July 3,--\n \u201cGeneral Longstreet was delayed by a force occupying the high,\n rocky hills on the enemy\u2019s extreme left, from which his troops\n could be attacked in reverse as they advanced. His operations\n had been embarrassed the day previous by the same cause, and he\n now deemed it necessary to defend his flank and rear with the\n divisions of Hood and McLaws.\u201d\nAnother embarrassment prevented an earlier attack on July 2. It was\nthe plan of General Lee to surprise the left flank of the Union army.\nGeneral Lee ordered Captain Johnson, the engineer officer of his staff,\nto conduct Longstreet\u2019s column by a route concealed from the enemy.\nBut the formation and movements of the attacking column had been\ndiscovered by my reconnoisance; this exposure put an end to any chance\nof surprise. Other dispositions became necessary; fresh orders from\nhead-quarters were asked for; another line of advance had to be found,\nless exposed to view. All this took time. These circumstances were,\nof course, known to General Lee; hence he saw no reason to reproach\nLongstreet for delay.\nThe situation on the left flank of the Union army was entirely changed\nby my advance to the Emmitsburg road. Fitzhugh Lee says, \u201cLee was\ndeceived by it and gave orders to attack up the Emmitsburg road,\npartially enveloping the enemy\u2019s left; there was much behind Sickles.\u201d\nThe obvious purpose of my advance was to hold Lee\u2019s force in check\nuntil General Meade could bring his reserves from his right flank,\nat Rock Creek, to the Round Tops, on the left. Fortunately for me,\nGeneral Lee believed that my line from the Peach-Orchard north--about a\ndivision front--was all Longstreet would have to deal with. Longstreet\nsoon discovered that my left rested beyond Devil\u2019s Den, about twelve\nhundred yards easterly from the Emmitsburg road, and at a right\nangle to it. Of course, Longstreet could not push forward to Lee\u2019s\nobjective,--the Emmitsburg road ridge,--leaving this force on his flank\nand rear, to take him in reverse. An obstinate conflict followed, which\ndetained Longstreet until the Fifth Corps, which had been in reserve on\nthe Union right, moved to the left and got into position on the Round\nTops. Thus it happened that my salient at the Peach-Orchard, on the\nEmmitsburg road, was not attacked until six o\u2019clock, the troops on my\nline, from the Emmitsburg road to the Devil\u2019s Den, having held their\npositions until that hour. The surprise Lee had planned was turned\nupon himself. The same thing would have happened if Longstreet had\nattacked in the morning; all the troops that resisted Longstreet in the\nafternoon--say thirty thousand--would have opposed him in the forenoon.\nThe alignment of the Union forces on the left flank at 11 A.M., when\nLee gave his preliminary orders to Longstreet for the attack, was\naltogether different from the dispositions made by me at 3 P.M.,\nwhen the attack was begun. At eleven in the morning my command was\non Cemetery Ridge, to the left of Hancock. At two o\u2019clock in the\nafternoon, anticipating General Lee\u2019s attack, I changed front,\ndeploying my left division (Birney\u2019s) from Plum Run, near the base\nof Little Round Top, to the Peach-Orchard, at the intersection of\nMillerstown and Emmitsburg roads. My right division (Humphrey\u2019s) was\nmoved forward to the Emmitsburg road, its left connecting with Birney\nat the Orchard, and its right _en echelon_ with Hancock, parallel with\nthe Codori House.\nLongstreet was ordered to conceal his column of attack, for which the\nground on Lee\u2019s right afforded excellent opportunities. Lee\u2019s plan was\na repetition of Jackson\u2019s attack on the right flank of the Union army\nat Chancellorsville. In the afternoon, however, in view of the advance\nof my corps, General Lee was obliged to form a new plan of battle. As\nhe believed that both of my flanks rested on the Emmitsburg road, Lee\ndirected Longstreet to envelop my left at the Peach-Orchard, and press\nthe attack northward \u201cup the Emmitsburg road.\u201d\nColonel Fairfax, of Longstreet\u2019s staff, says that Lee and\nLongstreet were together at three o\u2019clock, when the attack began.\nLieutenant-General Hill, commanding the First Corps of Lee\u2019s army, says\nin his report,--\n \u201cThe corps of General Longstreet (McLaws\u2019s and Hood\u2019s divisions)\n was on my right, and in a line very nearly at right angles to\n mine. General Longstreet was to attack the left flank of the\n enemy, and sweep down his line, and I was ordered to co-operate\n with him with such of my brigades from the right as could join\n in with his troops in the attack. On the extreme right, Hood\n commenced the attack about two o\u2019clock, McLaws about 5.30\n o\u2019clock.\u201d\nLongstreet was not long in discovering, by his artillery practice,\nthat my position at the Peach-Orchard was a salient, and that my left\nflank really rested twelve hundred yards eastward, at Plum Run, in the\nvalley between Little Round Top and the Devil\u2019s Den, concealed from\nobservation by woods; my line extended to the high ground along the\nEmmitsburg road, from which Lee says, \u201cIt was thought our artillery\ncould be used to advantage in assailing the more elevated ground\nbeyond.\u201d\nGeneral J. B. Hood\u2019s story of his part in the battle of July 2, taken\nfrom a communication addressed to General Longstreet, which appears\nin Hood\u2019s \u201cAdvance and Retreat,\u201d pages 57-59, is a clear narrative of\nthe movements of Longstreet\u2019s assaulting column. It emphasizes the\nfirm adherence of Longstreet to the orders of General Lee. Again and\nagain, as Hood plainly points out, Longstreet refused to listen to\nHood\u2019s appeal for leave to turn Round Top and assail the Union rear,\nalways replying, \u201cGeneral Lee\u2019s orders are to attack up the Emmitsburg\nroad.\u201d[A]\nThese often repeated orders of General Lee to \u201cattack up the Emmitsburg\nroad\u201d could not have been given until near three in the afternoon of\nJuly 2, because before that hour there was no Union line of battle on\nthe Emmitsburg road. There had been only a few of my pickets there in\nthe morning, thrown forward by the First Massachusetts Infantry. It\ndistinctly appears that Lee rejected Longstreet\u2019s plan to turn the\nFederal left on Cemetery Ridge. And Hood makes it plain enough that\nLongstreet refused to listen to Hood\u2019s appeal for permission to turn\nRound Top, on the main Federal line, always replying, \u201cNo; General\nLee\u2019s orders are to attack up the Emmitsburg road.\u201d Of course, that\nplan of battle was not formed until troops had been placed in positions\ncommanding that road. This, we have seen, was not done until towards\nthree in the afternoon.\nThe only order of battle announced by General Lee on July 2 of which\nthere is any record was to assail my position on the Emmitsburg\nroad, turn my left flank (which he erroneously supposed to rest on\nthe Peach-Orchard), and sweep the attack \u201cup the Emmitsburg road.\u201d\nThis was impossible until I occupied that road, and it was then that\nLongstreet\u2019s artillery began its practice on my advanced line.\nI am unable to see how any just person can charge Longstreet with\ndeviation from the orders of General Lee on July 2. It is true enough\nthat Longstreet had advised different tactics; but he was a soldier,--a\nWest Pointer,--and once he had indicated his own views, he obeyed\nthe orders of the general commanding,--he did not even exercise the\ndiscretion allowed to the chief of a _corps d\u2019arm\u00e9e_, which permits\nhim to modify instructions when an unforeseen emergency imposes fresh\nresponsibilities, or when an unlooked-for opportunity offers tempting\nadvantages.\nWe have seen that many circumstances required General Lee to modify\nhis plans and orders on July 2 between daybreak, when his first\nreconnoisance was made, and three o\u2019clock in the afternoon, when my\nadvanced position was defined. We have seen that if a morning attack\nhad been made the column would have encountered Buford\u2019s strong\ndivision of cavalry on its flank, and that it would have been weakened\nby the absence of Law\u2019s brigade of Hood\u2019s division. We have seen that\nLongstreet, even in the afternoon, when Law had come up and Buford had\nbeen sent to Westminster, was still too weak to contend against the\nreinforcements sent against him. We have seen that Lee was present all\nday on July 2, and that his own staff-officer led the column of attack.\nWe have seen that General Lee, in his official report, gives no hint of\ndissatisfaction with Longstreet\u2019s conduct of the battle of July 2, nor\ndoes it appear that Longstreet was ever afterwards criticised by Lee.\nOn the contrary, Lee points out that the same danger to Longstreet\u2019s\nflank, which required the protection of two divisions on July 3,\nexisted on July 2, when his flank was unsupported. We have seen that\nagain and again, when Hood appealed to Longstreet for leave to swing\nhis column to the right and turn the Round Tops, Longstreet as often\nrefused, always saying, \u201cNo; General Lee\u2019s orders are to attack up\nthe Emmitsburg road.\u201d The conclusion is irrefutable, that whilst the\noperations were directed with signal ability and sustained by heroic\ncourage, the failure of both assaults, that of July 2 and the other\nof July 3, must be attributed to the lack of strength in the columns\nof attack on both days, for which the commanding general alone was\nresponsible.\nIt was Longstreet\u2019s good fortune to live until he saw his country hold\na high place among the great powers of the world. He saw the new South\nadvancing in prosperity, hand in hand with the North, East, and West.\nHe saw his people in the ranks of our army, in Cuba, Porto Rico, the\nPhilippines, China, and Panama; he saw the Union stars and the blue\nuniform worn by Fitzhugh Lee, and Butler, and Wheeler. He witnessed the\nfulfilment of his prediction,--that the hearty reunion of the North\nand South would advance the welfare of both. He lived long enough to\nrejoice with all of us in a reunited nation, and to know that his name\nwas honored wherever the old flag was unfurled. His fame as a soldier\nbelongs to all Americans.\nFarewell, Longstreet! I shall follow you very soon. May we meet in the\nhappy realm where strife is unknown and friendship is eternal!\nLEE AND LONGSTREET AT HIGH TIDE\nCHAPTER I\nTHE STORY OF GETTYSBURG\n Back of the day that opened so auspiciously for the Confederate\n cause at the first Manassas, and of the four years that followed,\n lies Longstreet\u2019s record of a quarter of a century in the Union\n army, completing one of the most lustrous pages in the world\u2019s\n war history. That page cannot be dimmed or darkened; it rests\n secure in its own white splendor, above the touch of detractors.\nThe detractors of General Longstreet\u2019s military integrity assert that,\nbeing opposed to fighting an offensive battle at Gettysburg, he was\n\u201cbalky and stubborn\u201d in executing Lee\u2019s orders; that he disobeyed the\ncommanding general\u2019s orders to attack at sunrise on the morning of July\n2; that, again ordered to attack with half the army on the morning\nof July 3, his culpably slow attack with only Pickett\u2019s division,\nsupported by some of Hill\u2019s troops, caused the fatal Confederate defeat\nin that encounter.\nGeneral Gordon has seen fit, in a recent publication, to revive this\ncruel aspersion.\nWhen General Longstreet surrendered his sword at Appomattox his war\nrecord was made up. It stands unassailable--needing no defenders. Back\nof the day that opened so auspiciously for the Confederate cause at\nthe first Manassas, and of the four years that followed, lies the\nrecord of a quarter of a century in the Union army.\nIn those times General Longstreet, at Cerro Gordo, Molino del Rey,\nand Chapultepec, was aiding to win the great empire of the West; in\nsubsequent hard Indian campaigns lighting the fagots of a splendid\nwestern civilization, adding new glory to American arms and, in the\nstruggles of a nation that fell, a new star of the first magnitude to\nthe galaxy of American valor, completing one of the most lustrous pages\nin the world\u2019s war history. That page cannot be dimmed or darkened; it\nrests secure in its own white splendor, above the touch of detractors.\nGeneral Longstreet has of late years deemed it unnecessary to make\ndefence of his military integrity, save such as may be found in his\nmemoirs, \u201cManassas to Appomattox,\u201d published nearly ten years since. He\nhas held that his deeds stand on the impartial pages of the nation\u2019s\nrecords--their own defender.\nThe cold historian of our Civil War of a hundred years hence will\nnot go for truth to the picturesque reminiscences of General John B.\nGordon, nor to the pyrotechnics of General Fitzhugh Lee, nor yet to\nthe somewhat hysterical ravings of Rev. Mr. Pendleton and scores of\nother modern essayists who have sought to fix the failure of Gettysburg\nupon General Longstreet. The coming chronicler will cast aside the\nrubbish of passion and hate that followed the war, and have recourse\nto the nation\u2019s official war records, and in the cool, calm lights of\nthe letters and reports of the participants, written at the time, will\nplace the blunder of Gettysburg where it belongs. Longstreet\u2019s fame has\nnothing to fear in that hour.\n[Illustration: R. E. Lee]\nBut for the benefit of the present--of the young, the busy, who\nhave neither time nor inclination to study the records, and for that\nsentiment that is increasingly shaped by the public press,--for these\nand other reasons it appears fitting that in this hour historical truth\nshould have a spokesman on the Gettysburg contentions. In the absence\nof one more able to speak, this little story of the truth is written.\nThe writer belongs to a generation that has come up since the gloom\nof Appomattox closed the drama of the great \u201cLost Cause\u201d of American\nhistory--a generation that seeks the truth, unwarped and undistorted by\npassion, and can face the truth.\nIn the prosecution of my researches for the origin of the extraordinary\ncalumnies aimed at General Longstreet\u2019s honor as a soldier, two most\nsignificant facts have continually pressed upon my attention.\nFirst, not one word appears to have been published openly accusing him\nof disobedience at Gettysburg until the man who could forever have\nsilenced all criticism was in his grave--until the knightly soul of\nRobert Edward Lee had passed into eternity.\nSecond, General Longstreet\u2019s operations on the field of Gettysburg\nwere above the suspicion of reproach until he came under the political\nban in the South, for meeting in the proper spirit, as he saw it, the\nrequirements of good citizenship in the observance of his Appomattox\nparole, and, after the removal of his political disabilities, for\nhaving accepted office at the hands of a Republican President who\nhappened to be his old West Point comrade,--Grant.\nThen the storm broke. He was heralded as traitor, deserter of his\npeople, deserter of Democracy, etc. In the fury of this onslaught\noriginated the cruel slander that he had disobeyed Lee\u2019s most vital\norders, causing the loss of the Gettysburg battle and the ultimate fall\nof the Confederate cause. Most singularly, this strange discovery was\nnot made until some years after the battle and General Lee\u2019s death.\nThereafter for two decades the South was sedulously taught to believe\nthat the Federal victory was wholly the fortuitous outcome of the\nculpable disobedience of General Longstreet.\nThe sectional complaint that he deserted \u201cDemocracy\u201d is about as\nrelevant and truthful as the assertion that he lost Gettysburg. He was\na West Pointer, a professional soldier. He had never cast a ballot\nbefore the Civil War; he had no politics. Its passions and prejudices\nhad no dwelling-place in his mind. The war was over, and he quietly\naccepted the result, fraternizing with all Americans. It was no great\ncrime.\nBut the peculiar circumstances favored an opportunity to make\nLongstreet the long-desired scape-goat for Gettysburg. There was\nan ulterior and deeper purpose, however, than merely besmirching\nhis military record. Short-sighted partisans seemingly argued that\nthe disparagement of Longstreet was necessary to save the military\nreputation of Lee. But Lee\u2019s great fame needed no such sacrifice.\nThe outrageous charges against Longstreet have been wholly disproved.\nMuch of the partisan rancor that once pursued him has died out. Many of\nthe more intelligent Southerners have been long convinced that he was\nthe victim of a great wrong.\nIt was unworthy of Major-General John B. Gordon, once of the army\nof Northern Virginia, to revive this dead controversy. He simply\nreiterates the old charges in full, produces no evidence in their\nsupport, and gratuitously endorses a false and cruel verdict. His\ncontribution is of no historical value. It carries inherent evidence\nthat General Gordon made no critical examination of the documentary\nhistory of Gettysburg. He assumes to render a verdict on the say-so of\nothers.\nGordon\u2019s unsupported assertions would require no attention but for one\nfact. Both South and North there is a widespread impression that Gordon\nwas a conspicuous figure at Gettysburg. This is erroneous. He was\nmerely a brigade commander there, stationed five miles from Longstreet.\nIt is not certain that he personally saw either Lee or Longstreet while\nthe army was in Pennsylvania.\nIn his official report Gordon uses this language regarding the\noperations of his own small command at Gettysburg when the heaviest\nfighting was going on, finely showing the scope of his opportunities\nfor observation:\n \u201cThe movements during the succeeding days of the battle, July 2\n and 3, I do not consider of sufficient importance to mention.\u201d\nIt is but just to Gordon, however, to say that in his subordinate\ncapacity at the head of one of the thirty-seven brigades of infantry\ncomprising Lee\u2019s army, he performed excellent service on the first\nday\u2019s battle. But in estimating his value as a personal witness,\nthe foregoing undisputed facts must be taken into consideration.\nHis testimony is obviously of the hearsay kind. In fact, as will be\nobserved from his own admission, it is no more than his own personal\nconclusions, wholly deduced from the assertions of others, based on an\nassumed state of facts which did not exist.\nIn his recent publication, \u201cReminiscences of the Civil War,\u201d Gordon\nsays,--\n \u201cIt now seems certain that impartial military critics, after\n thorough investigation, will consider the following facts\n established:\n \u201cFirst, that General Lee distinctly ordered Longstreet to attack\n early on the morning of the second day, and if Longstreet had\n done so two of the largest corps of Meade\u2019s army would not have\n been in the fight; but Longstreet delayed the fight until four\n o\u2019clock in the afternoon, and thus lost his opportunity of\n occupying Little Round Top, the key of the position, which he\n might have done in the morning without firing a shot or losing a\n man.\u201d\nIt is competent to point out that Longstreet\u2019s orders from General\nLee were \u201cto move around to gain the Emmitsburg road, on the enemy\u2019s\nleft.\u201d In short, he was \u201cto attack up the Emmitsburg road,\u201d as all the\nauthorities agree. He therefore could not well \u201coccupy\u201d Little Round\nTop up the Emmitsburg road, because it was but a fraction less than a\nmile to the east of that road. It is as clear as noonday that Lee had\nno thought at first, if ever, that Little Round Top was the \u201ckey to the\nposition.\u201d Lee merely contemplated driving the enemy from some high\nground on the Emmitsburg road from which the \u201cmore elevated ground\u201d of\nCemetery Hill in its rear, more than a mile to the northward of Little\nRound Top, could be subsequently assailed.\nLee\u2019s luminous report of the battle, dated July 31, 1863, only four\nweeks after, has escaped Gordon\u2019s notice, or has been conveniently\nignored by him. It is found at page 305 _et seq._, of Part II., Vol.\nXXVII., of the printed War Records, easily accessible to everybody. At\npage 308, Lee\u2019s report:\n \u201c... In front of General Longstreet the enemy held a position\n from which, if he could be driven, it was thought our artillery\n could be used to advantage in assailing the more elevated ground\n beyond, and thus enable us to reach the crest of the ridge. That\n officer was directed to carry this position.... After a severe\n struggle, Longstreet succeeded in getting possession of and\n holding the desired ground.... The battle ceased at dark.\u201d\nThe \u201cdesired ground\u201d captured was that held by Sickles\u2019s Federal Third\nCorps,--the celebrated peach-orchard, wheat-field, and adjacent\nhigh ground, from which Cemetery Hill was next day assailed by the\nConfederate artillery as a prelude to Pickett\u2019s infantry assault.\nIt was the \u201ccrest of the ridge,\u201d not the Round Top, that Lee wished\nto assail. His eye from the first appears to have been steadily fixed\nupon the Federal centre. That is why he ordered the \u201cattack up the\nEmmitsburg road.\u201d\nLongstreet\u2019s official report is very explicit on this point. It was\nwritten July 27, 1863. On page 358 of the same book he says,--\n \u201cI received instructions from the commanding general to move,\n with the portion of my command that was up, around to gain the\n Emmitsburg road, on the enemy\u2019s left.\u201d\nLieutenant-General R. H. Anderson, then of Hill\u2019s corps, also makes\nthis definite statement:\n \u201cShortly after the line had been formed, I received notice that\n Lieutenant-General Longstreet would occupy the ground on my\n right, and that his line would be in a direction nearly at right\n angles with mine, and that he would assault the extreme left of\n the enemy and drive him towards Gettysburg.\u201d\nJust here it is pertinent to say that General Longstreet had the\nafternoon previous, and again that morning, suggested to General Lee\nthe more promising plan of a movement by the Confederate right to\ninterpose between the Federals and their capital, and thus compel\nGeneral Meade to give battle at a disadvantage. On this point General\nLongstreet uses the following language in a newspaper publication[B]\nmore than a quarter of a century ago:\n \u201cWhen I overtook General Lee at five o\u2019clock that afternoon [July\n 1], he said, to my surprise, that he thought of attacking General\n Meade upon the heights the next day. I suggested that this course\n seemed to be at variance with the plan of the campaign that had\n been agreed upon before leaving Fredericksburg. He said, \u2018If the\n enemy is there to-morrow, we must attack him.\u2019 I replied: \u2018If he\n is there, it will be because he is anxious that we should attack\n him--a good reason in my judgment for not doing so.\u2019 I urged\n that we should move around by our right to the left of Meade and\n put our army between him and Washington, threatening his left\n and rear, and thus force him to attack us in such position as\n we might select.... I called his attention to the fact that the\n country was admirably adapted for a defensive battle, and that we\n should surely repulse Meade with crushing loss if we would take\n position so as to force him to attack us, and suggested that even\n if we carried the heights in front of us, and drove Meade out, we\n should be so badly crippled that we could not reap the fruits of\n victory; and that the heights of Gettysburg were in themselves\n of no more importance to us than the ground we then occupied,\n and that the mere possession of the ground was not worth a\n hundred men to us. That Meade\u2019s army, not its position, was\n our objective. General Lee was impressed with the idea that by\n attacking the Federals he could whip them in detail. I reminded\n him that if the Federals were there in the morning it would be\n proof that they had their forces well in hand, and that with\n Pickett in Chambersburg, and Stuart out of reach, we should be\n somewhat in detail. He, however, did not seem to abandon the idea\n of attack on the next day. He seemed under a subdued excitement\n which occasionally took possession of him when \u2018the hunt was up,\u2019\n and threatened his superb equipoise.... When I left General Lee\n on the night of the 1st, I believed that he had made up his mind\n to attack, but was confident that he had not yet determined as to\n when the attack should be made.\u201d\nBut General Lee persisted in the direct attack \u201cup the Emmitsburg\nroad.\u201d Hood, deployed on Longstreet\u2019s extreme right, at once perceived\nthat the true direction was by flank against the southern slopes of\nBig Round Top. He delayed the advance to advise of the discovery he\nhad made. Soon the positive order came back: \u201cGeneral Lee\u2019s orders are\nto attack up the Emmitsburg road.\u201d He still hesitated and repeated\nthe suggestion. Again it was reiterated: \u201cGeneral Lee\u2019s orders are to\nattack up the Emmitsburg road.\u201d Then the troops moved to the attack.\nThere was no alternative. Lee\u2019s orders were imperative, and made after\nhe had personally examined the enemy\u2019s position. Longstreet was ordered\nto attack a specific position \u201cup the Emmitsburg road,\u201d which was _not_\nLittle Round Top, as assumed by Gordon. This point is particularly\nelaborated because in it lies the \u201cmilk in the cocoanut\u201d of the\ncharges against Longstreet. Without consulting the records Gordon\nhas merely followed the lead of some of General Lee\u2019s biographers,\nnotably Fitzhugh Lee, who asserts that his illustrious uncle \u201cexpected\nLongstreet to seize Little Round Top on the 2d of July.\u201d The records\nclearly show that nothing was farther from General Lee\u2019s thoughts.\nAfter the war it was discovered that a very early attack on Little\nRound Top would perhaps have found it undefended, hence the afterthought\nthat General Longstreet was ordered to attack at sunrise. But whatever\nthe hour Longstreet was ordered to attack, it was most certainly not\nLittle Round Top that was made his objective.\nCHAPTER II\nLEE CHANGES PLAN OF CAMPAIGN\n \u201cGeneral, I have been a soldier all my life. I have been with\n soldiers engaged in fights by couples, by squads, companies,\n regiments, divisions, and armies, and should know as well as\n any one what soldiers can do. It is my opinion that no fifteen\n thousand men ever arrayed for battle can take that position,\u201d\n pointing to Cemetery Hill.--LONGSTREET to LEE.\nGeneral Longstreet\u2019s personal account of this magnificent battle \u201cup\nthe Emmitsburg road\u201d will not be out of place here. In the newspaper\narticle previously quoted from he very graphically describes the\nadvance of the two divisions of McLaws and Hood, for when he went into\nbattle it must be understood that even yet one of his divisions, that\nof Pickett, was still absent. He states his total force at thirteen\nthousand men. An account of this clash of arms must send a thrill of\npride through every Southern heart:\n \u201cAt half-past three o\u2019clock the order was given General Hood to\n advance upon the enemy, and, hurrying to the head of McLaws\u2019s\n division, I moved with his line. Then was fairly commenced what I\n do not hesitate to pronounce the best three hours\u2019 fighting ever\n done by any troops on any battle-field. Directly in front of us,\n occupying the peach-orchard, on a piece of elevated ground that\n General Lee desired me to take and hold for his artillery, was\n the Third Corps of the Federals, commanded by General Sickles.\n [Illustration: MAJOR-GENERAL D. E. SICKLES]\n \u201cPrompt to the order the combat opened, followed by artillery of\n the other corps, and our artillerists measured up to the better\n metal of the enemy by vigilant work....\n \u201cIn his usual gallant style Hood led his troops through the\n rocky fastnesses against the strong lines of his earnest\n adversary, and encountered battle that called for all of his\n power and skill. The enemy was tenacious of his strong ground;\n his skilfully handled batteries swept through the passes between\n the rocks; the more deadly fire of infantry concentrated as our\n men bore upon the angle of the enemy\u2019s line and stemmed the\n fiercest onset until it became necessary to shorten their work\n by a desperate charge. This pressing struggle and the cross-fire\n of our batteries broke in the salient angle, but the thickening\n fire, as the angle was pressed back, hurt Hood\u2019s left and held\n him in steady fight. His right brigade was drawn towards Round\n Top by the heavy fire pouring from that quarter, Benning\u2019s\n brigade was pressed to the thickening line at the angle, and G.\n T. Anderson\u2019s was put in support of the battle growing against\n Hood\u2019s right.\n \u201cI rode to McLaws, found him ready for his opportunity, and\n Barksdale chafing in his wait for the order to seize the battery\n in his front. Kershaw\u2019s brigade of his right first advanced and\n struck near the angle of the enemy\u2019s line where his forces were\n gathering strength. After additional caution to hold his ranks\n closed, McLaws ordered Barksdale in. With glorious bearing he\n sprang to his work, overriding obstacles and dangers. Without\n a pause to deliver a shot, he had the battery. Kershaw, joined\n by Semmes\u2019s brigade, responded, and Hood\u2019s men, feeling the\n impulsion of relief, resumed their bold fight, and presently the\n enemy\u2019s line was broken through its length. But his well-seasoned\n troops knew how to utilize the advantage of their ground and put\n back their dreadful fires from rocks, depressions, and stone\n fences, as they went for shelter about Little Round Top.... The\n fighting had become tremendous, and brave men and officers were\n stricken by hundreds. Posey and Wilcox dislodged the forces about\n the Brick House.\n \u201cGeneral Sickles was desperately wounded!\n \u201cGeneral Willard was dead!\n \u201cGeneral Semmes, of McLaws\u2019s division, was mortally wounded!...\n \u201cI had one brigade--Wofford\u2019s--that had not been engaged in the\n hottest battle. To urge the troops to their reserve power in the\n precious moments, I rode with Wofford. The rugged field, the\n rough plunge of artillery fire, and the piercing musket-shots\n delayed somewhat the march, but Alexander dashed up with his\n batteries and gave new spirit to the worn infantry ranks....\n While Meade\u2019s lines were growing my men were dropping; we had\n no others to call to their aid, and the weight against us was\n too heavy to carry.... Nothing was heard or felt but the clear\n ring of the enemy\u2019s fresh metal as he came against us. No other\n part of the army had engaged! My seventeen thousand against the\n Army of the Potomac! The sun was down, and with it went down the\n severe battle.\u201d\nSurely these are not the utterances of one who had been slow, balky,\nand obstructive on that field. The ring of these sentences tells no\ntale of apathy or backwardness because his advice to pursue a different\nline of operations had been ignored by Lee.\nGeneral Gordon, continuing, very complacently assumes that \u201ctwo of the\nlargest corps of Meade\u2019s army would not have been in the fight\u201d of the\n2d had Longstreet attacked early in the morning. He refers to the Union\nFifth and Sixth Corps. That statement is correct only as regards the\nSixth Corps, which, it is true, did not arrive on the field until late\nin the afternoon. But it took only a slight part at dark on the 2d,\nwhen the battle was over. Indeed, as it was so slightly engaged, the\nhour of its arrival at Gettysburg is unimportant. The losses of the\ndifferent corps conclusively show what part the Sixth, which was the\nlargest in the army, took in the battle of the 2d of July; as given in\nthe Rebellion Records:\nKilled and wounded: First Corps, 3980; Second Corps, 3991; Third Corps,\n3662; Fifth Corps, 1976; Sixth Corps, 212; Eleventh Corps, 2353;\nTwelfth Corps, 1016.\nIts non-participation strongly militates against the spirit of\nGordon\u2019s argument, in that Meade entirely frustrated Lee\u2019s plans and\ndefeated the Confederate army, scarcely using the Sixth Corps, some\nfifteen thousand men, at all. This is a significant commentary on the\nanti-Longstreet assumption of how easy it was to win at Gettysburg if\nonly Longstreet had obeyed orders!\nAt sunrise on the 2d, the hour at which Longstreet\u2019s critics would have\nhad this attack delivered, the Federal Fifth Corps was as near the\nbattle-ground of that day as Longstreet\u2019s troops. Longstreet\u2019s troops\nwere bivouacked the night previous at Marsh Creek, four miles west of\nGettysburg. They began to arrive near Lee\u2019s head-quarters on Seminary\nRidge not earlier than 7 A.M. of the 2d, and the last of the column\ndid not get in until near noon. Then they were still five miles by the\nroute pursued from the chosen point of attack.\nThe Union Fifth Corps was bivouacked five miles east of Gettysburg\nabout the same hour on the 1st that Longstreet\u2019s tired infantry reached\nMarsh Creek. At four o\u2019clock A.M. of the 2d they marched on Gettysburg,\narriving about the same hour that Longstreet\u2019s troops were being massed\nnear Lee\u2019s head-quarters, and were thereupon posted upon the extreme\nFederal right.\nUpon the first manifestation of Confederate movements on the right and\nleft, we know that the Fifth Corps was immediately drawn in closer,\nand about nine o\u2019clock massed at the bridge over Rock Creek on the\nBaltimore pike, ready for developments. Meade thought Lee intended\nto attack his right. That Lee contemplated it is quite certain.\nColonel Venable, of his staff, was sent about sunrise to consult with\nLieutenant-General Ewell upon the feasibility of a general attack from\nhis front. Lee wanted Ewell\u2019s views as to the advisability of moving\nall the available troops around to that front for such a purpose.\nVenable and Ewell rode from point to point to determine if this should\nbe done. Finally, Venable says, Lee himself came to Ewell\u2019s lines, and\neventually the design for an attack on the Union right was abandoned.\nWhere the Fifth Corps was finally massed, it was only one and a half\nmiles in the rear of General Sickles\u2019s position. Moreover, it had\nan almost direct road to that point. This facility for reinforcing\nincidentally illustrates the advantages of the Union position. At\nthe same hour General Longstreet\u2019s troops were still massed near the\nChambersburg pike, three miles on a straight line from the point of\nattack. That is to say, Longstreet had twice as far to march on an\nair-line to strike Sickles \u201cup the Emmitsburg road\u201d as Sykes had to\nreinforce the threatened point. But, in fact, Sykes\u2019s advantage was\nfar greater in point of time, because, by order of Lee, Longstreet was\ncompelled to move by back roads and lanes, out of sight of the enemy\u2019s\nsignal officers on Round Top. His troops actually marched six or seven\nmiles to reach the point of deployment.\nLongstreet eventually attacked about 4 P.M., and the Fifth Corps was\nused very effectively against him. But no historian who esteems the\ntruth, with the undisputed records before him, will deny that it\ncould and would have been used just as effectively at seven or eight\no\u2019clock in the morning. The moment Longstreet\u2019s movement was detected\nit was immediately hurried over to the left and occupied Round Top. If\nLongstreet had moved earlier, the Fifth Corps also would have moved\nearlier. It could have been on Sickles\u2019s left and rear as early as\nseven o\u2019clock A.M., had it been necessary. If Ewell and not Longstreet\nhad delivered the general attack it would have been found in his front.\nIt is mathematically correct to say that the troops which met\nLongstreet on the afternoon of the 2d could have been brought against\nhim in the morning. The reports of General Meade, General Sykes, the\ncommander of the Fifth Corps of Sykes\u2019s brigade, and regimental\ncommanders, and various other documentary history bearing on the\nsubject, are convincing upon this point.\nGeneral Sickles\u2019s advance was made in consequence of the Confederate\nthreatening, and would have been sooner or later according as that\nthreatening was made. The critics ignore this fact.\nGeneral Longstreet says on this point:\n \u201cGeneral Meade was with General Sickles discussing the\n feasibility of moving the Third Corps back to the line originally\n assigned for it; the discussion was cut short by the opening of\n the Confederate battle. If that opening had been delayed thirty\n or forty minutes, Sickles\u2019s corps would have been drawn back to\n the general line, and my first deployment would have enveloped\n Little Round Top and carried it before it could have been\n strongly manned. The point should have been that the battle was\n opened too soon.\u201d\nSo much for one part of Gordon\u2019s assumption, based upon other\nassumptions founded upon an erroneous presumption, that if Longstreet\nhad taken wings and flown on an air-line from his bivouac at Marsh\nCreek to the Federal left and attacked at sunrise he would have found\nno enemy near the Round Tops.\nIn another equally unwarranted assumption of what the \u201cimpartial\u201d\nmilitary critic will consider an \u201cestablished fact,\u201d Gordon declares:\n \u201cSecondly, that General Lee ordered Longstreet to attack at\n daylight on the morning of the third day, and that the latter\n did not attack until two or three o\u2019clock in the afternoon, the\n artillery opening at one.\u201d\nLee himself mentions no such order. In his final report, penned six\nmonths afterwards, he merely mentions that the \u201cgeneral plan was\nunchanged,\u201d and Longstreet, reinforced, ordered to attack \u201cnext\nmorning,\u201d no definite hour being fixed. It is significant, however,\nthat in his letter to Jefferson Davis from the field, dated July 4, Lee\nuses this language:\n \u201cNext day (July 3), the third division of General Longstreet\u2019s\n corps having come up, a more extensive attack was made,\u201d etc.\nThe \u201cthird division\u201d was Pickett\u2019s, which did not arrive from\nChambersburg until 9 A.M. of the 3d. In the same report, Lee himself\nstates that \u201cPickett, with three of his brigades, joined Longstreet the\nfollowing morning.\u201d There is no dispute, however, about the hour of\nPickett\u2019s arrival.\nSo that, as Pickett was selected by Lee to lead the charge, and as Lee\nknew exactly where Pickett was, it is morally impossible that it was\nfixed for daylight, five hours before Pickett\u2019s troops were up.\nIn one place Lee remarks in his report: \u201cThe morning was occupied in\n_necessary_ preparations, and the battle recommenced in the afternoon\nof the 3d.\u201d Time was not an essential element in the problem of the\n3d. The Federal army was then all up, whereas Pickett\u2019s Confederate\ndivision was still absent. The delay of a few hours was therefore a\ndistinct gain for the Confederates, and not prejudicial, as Gordon\nwould have the world believe.\nBut Longstreet\u2019s official report is decisive of the whole question. He\nsays,--\n \u201cOn the following morning (that is, after the fight of the 2d)\n our arrangements were made for renewing the attack by my right,\n with a view to pass round the hill occupied by the enemy\u2019s left,\n and gain it by flank and reverse attack. A few moments after my\n orders for the execution of this plan were given, the commanding\n general joined me, and ordered a column of attack to be formed of\n Pickett\u2019s, Heth\u2019s, and part of Pender\u2019s divisions, the assault to\n be made directly at the enemy\u2019s main position, the Cemetery Hill.\u201d\nClearly this shows that Longstreet had no orders for the morning of\nJuly 3. As Longstreet\u2019s report passed through Lee\u2019s hands, the superior\nwould most certainly have returned it to the subordinate for correction\nif there were errors in it. This he did not do, neither did Lee indorse\nupon the document itself any dissent from its tenor.\nAs Pickett did not come up until 9 A.M., and as General Lee says \u201cthe\nmorning was occupied in _necessary_ preparations,\u201d it was logistically\nand morally impossible to make an attack at daylight, and General\nLongstreet states that it could not have been delivered sooner than it\nwas.\nFinally, Longstreet emphatically denies that Lee ordered him to attack\nat daylight on the 3d. He says that he had no orders of any kind on\nthat morning until Lee personally came over to his front and ordered\nthe Pickett charge. No early attack was possible under the conditions\nimposed by Lee to use Pickett\u2019s, Pettigrew\u2019s, and Pender\u2019s troops,\nwidely separated.\nBut without any orders from Lee, as is quite apparent, Longstreet\nhad already given orders for a flank attack by the southern face of\nBig Round Top, as an alternative to directly attacking again the\nimpregnable heights from which he had been repulsed the night before.\nThat would have been \u201csimple madness,\u201d to quote the language of the\nConfederate General Law. But such an act of \u201csimple madness\u201d was the\nonly daylight attack possible from Longstreet\u2019s front on the morning\nof the 3d. Lee substituted for the feasible early attack projected by\nLongstreet the Pickett movement straight on Cemetery Heights which it\nrequired hours of preparation to fulminate, and which proved the most\ndisastrous and destructive in Confederate annals. It was, in fact, the\ndeath-knell of the Southern republic.\nIn his published memoirs,[C] page 385, General Longstreet makes this\nconcise statement in regard to Lee\u2019s alleged orders for the early\nmorning operations on the 3d: \u201cHe [General Lee] did not give or send\nme orders for the morning of the third day, nor did he reinforce me by\nPickett\u2019s brigades for morning attack. As his head-quarters were about\nfour miles from the command, I did not ride over, but sent, to report\nthe work of the second day. In the absence of orders, I had scouting\nparties out during the night in search of a way by which we might\nstrike the enemy\u2019s left and push it down towards his centre. I found\na way that gave some promise of results, and was about to move the\ncommand when he [Lee] rode over after sunrise and gave his orders.\u201d\nBut in his paper of 1877, on Gettysburg, herein-before freely quoted\nfrom, General Longstreet goes more into detail with relation to Lee\u2019s\nplans and orders for the morning of the 3d, and more fully discloses\nthe genesis of the Pickett charge. In this account his own opposition\nto a renewal of the attack on Cemetery Hill is developed and the\nobvious reasons therefor. As he is confirmed in nearly every particular\nby participants and by the records, his account is here reprinted:\n \u201cOn the next morning he came to see me, and, fearing that he was\n still in his disposition to attack, I tried to anticipate him by\n saying, \u2018General, I have had my scouts out all night, and I find\n that you still have an excellent opportunity to move around to\n the right of Meade\u2019s army and man\u0153uvre him into attacking us.\u2019 He\n replied, pointing with his fist at Cemetery Hill, \u2018The enemy is\n there, and I am going to strike him.\u2019 I felt then that it was my\n duty to express my convictions. I said, \u2018General, I have been a\n soldier all my life. I have been with soldiers engaged in fights\n by couples, by squads, companies, regiments, divisions, and\n armies, and should know as well as any one what soldiers can do.\n It is my opinion that no fifteen thousand men ever arrayed for\n battle can take that position,\u2019 pointing to Cemetery Hill.\n \u201cGeneral Lee, in reply to this, ordered me to prepare Pickett\u2019s\n division for the attack. I should not have been so urgent had I\n not foreseen the hopelessness of the proposed assault. I felt\n that I must say a word against the sacrifice of my men; and\n then I felt that my record was such that General Lee would or\n could not misconstrue my motives. I said no more, however, but\n turned away. The most of the morning was consumed in waiting for\n Pickett\u2019s men and getting into position.\u201d\nTo make the attitude of the superior and his subordinate more clear in\nrelation to the proposed desperate throw of General Lee for victory,\nand to further explain the foregoing protest of General Longstreet,\nquotations from a second paper of the series printed in 1877 are here\ngiven, in which he says,--\n \u201cIn my first article I declared that the invasion of Pennsylvania\n was a movement that General Lee and his council agreed should\n be defensive in tactics, while of course it was offensive in\n strategy; that the campaign was conducted on this plan until\n we had left Chambersburg, when, owing to the absence of our\n cavalry and our consequent ignorance of the enemy\u2019s whereabouts,\n we collided with them unexpectedly, and that General Lee had\n lost the matchless equipoise that usually characterized him,\n and through excitement and the doubt that enveloped the enemy\u2019s\n movements, changed the whole plan of the campaign and delivered a\n battle under ominous circumstances.\u201d\nCHAPTER III\nPICKETT\u2019S CHARGE\n \u201cPickett swept past our artillery in splendid style, and the men\n marched steadily and compactly down the slope. As they started\n up the ridge over one hundred cannon from the breastworks of the\n Federals hurled a rain of canister, grape, and shell down upon\n them; still they pressed on until half-way up the slope, when\n the crest of the hill was lit with a solid sheet of flame as the\n masses of infantry rose and fired. When the smoke cleared away\n Pickett\u2019s division was gone. Nearly two-thirds of his men lay\n dead on the field.\u201d--LONGSTREET ON PICKETT\u2019S CHARGE.\nGeneral Longstreet\u2019s description of the Pickett charge itself also\nthrows much light on these old controversies. It is confirmed in all\nessential particulars by General Alexander and others who have written\non the subject since the war, and also by the reports:\n \u201cThe plan of assault was as follows: Our artillery was to be\n massed in a wood from which Pickett was to charge, and it was to\n pour a continuous fire upon the cemetery. Under cover of this\n fire, and supported by it, Pickett was to charge. General E. P.\n Alexander, a brave and gifted officer, being at the head of the\n column, and being first in position, and being besides an officer\n of unusual promptness, sagacity, and intelligence, was given\n charge of the artillery. The arrangements were completed about\n one o\u2019clock. General Alexander had arranged that a battery of\n seven 11-pound howitzers, with fresh horses and full caissons,\n were to charge with Pickett, at the head of his line, but General\n Pendleton, from whom the guns had been borrowed, recalled them\n just before the charge was made, and thus deranged this wise plan.\n \u201cNever was I so depressed as upon that day. I felt that my men\n were to be sacrificed, and that I should have to order them to\n make a hopeless charge. I had instructed General Alexander,\n being unwilling to trust myself with the entire responsibility,\n to carefully observe the effect of the fire upon the enemy, and\n when it began to tell to notify Pickett to begin the assault. I\n was so much impressed with the hopelessness of the charge that I\n wrote the following note to General Alexander:\n \u201c\u2018If the artillery fire does not have the effect to drive off\n the enemy or greatly demoralize him, so as to make our efforts\n pretty certain, I would prefer that you should not advise General\n Pickett to make the charge. I shall rely a great deal on your\n judgment to determine the matter, and shall expect you to let\n Pickett know when the moment offers.\u2019\n \u201cTo my note the general replied as follows:\n \u201c\u2018I will only be able to judge the effect of our fire upon the\n enemy by his return fire, for his infantry is but little exposed\n to view, and the smoke will obscure the whole field. If, as I\n infer from your note, there is an alternative to this attack, it\n should be carefully considered before opening our fire, for it\n will take all of the artillery ammunition we have left to test\n this one thoroughly, and if the result is unfavorable, we will\n have none left for another effort, and even if this is entirely\n successful it can only be so at a very bloody cost.\u2019\n \u201cI still desired to save my men, and felt that if the artillery\n did not produce the desired effect I would be justified in\n holding Pickett off. I wrote this note to Colonel Walton at\n exactly 1.30 P.M.:\n \u201c\u2018Let the batteries open. Order great precision in firing. If the\n batteries at the peach-orchard cannot be used against the point\n we intend attacking, let them open on the enemy at Rocky Hill.\u2019\n \u201cThe cannonading which opened along both lines was grand. In a\n few moments a courier brought a note to General Pickett (who was\n standing near me) from Alexander, which, after reading, he handed\n to me. It was as follows:\n \u201c\u2018If you are coming at all you must come at once, or I cannot\n give you proper support; but the enemy\u2019s fire has not slackened\n at all; at least eighteen guns are still firing from the cemetery\n itself.\u2019\n \u201cAfter I had read the note Pickett said to me, \u2018General, shall I\n advance?\u2019 My feelings had so overcome me that I would not speak\n for fear of betraying my want of confidence to him. I bowed\n affirmation and turned to mount my horse. Pickett immediately\n said, \u2018I shall lead my division forward, sir.\u2019 I spurred my\n horse to the wood where Alexander was stationed with artillery.\n When I reached him he told me of the disappearance of the seven\n guns which were to have led the charge with Pickett, and that\n his ammunition was so low that he could not properly support\n the charge. I at once ordered him to stop Pickett until the\n ammunition had been replenished. He informed me that he had no\n ammunition with which to replenish. I then saw that there was\n no help for it, and that Pickett must advance under his orders.\n He swept past our artillery in splendid style, and the men\n marched steadily and compactly down the slope. As they started\n up the ridge over one hundred cannon from the breastworks of the\n Federals hurled a rain of canister, grape, and shell down upon\n them; still they pressed on until half-way up the slope, when\n the crest of the hill was lit with a solid sheet of flame as the\n masses of infantry rose and fired. When the smoke cleared away\n Pickett\u2019s division was gone. Nearly two-thirds of his men lay\n dead on the field, and the survivors were sullenly retreating\n down the hill. Mortal man could not have stood that fire. In\n half an hour the contested field was cleared and the battle of\n Gettysburg was over.\n \u201cWhen this charge had failed I expected that of course the enemy\n would throw himself against our shattered ranks and try to crush\n us. I sent my staff-officers to the rear to assist in rallying\n the troops, and hurried to our line of batteries as the only\n support that I could give them, knowing that my presence would\n impress upon every one of them the necessity of holding the\n ground to the last extremity. I knew if the army was to be saved\n those batteries must check the enemy.\u201d\nCHAPTER IV\nGORDON\u2019S \u201cESTABLISHED FACTS\u201d AND PENDLETON\u2019S FULMINATIONS\n No officer in a position to know anything about the matter\n confirmed Pendleton\u2019s statement, while everybody who should have\n been aware of such an important order directly contradicted it,\n as do all the records.\nContinuing on the subject of Longstreet\u2019s alleged disobedience, Gordon\nconsiders the following as another of the \u201cfacts established:\u201d\n \u201cThirdly, that General Lee, according to the testimony of Colonel\n Walter Taylor, Colonel C. S. Venable, and General A. L. Long,\n who were present when the order was given, ordered Longstreet\n to make the attack on the last day with the three divisions of\n his own corps and two divisions of A. P. Hill\u2019s corps, and that\n instead of doing so Longstreet sent only fourteen thousand men to\n assail Meade\u2019s army in the latter\u2019s strong and heavily intrenched\n position.\u201d\nThis is the old story that Longstreet was culpable in not sending\nMcLaws and Hood to the attack with Pickett.\nBut, in fact, Lee\u2019s own utterances show that McLaws and Hood were not\nto join in the Pickett attack, but, on the contrary, were excluded\nfor other vital service by Lee\u2019s specific directions. It is true this\nwas done upon Longstreet\u2019s strenuous representations that twenty\nthousand Federals were massed behind the Round Top to swoop down on\nthe Confederate flank if Hood and McLaws were withdrawn. After viewing\nthe ground himself Lee acquiesced. The eye-witnesses quoted by Gordon\nheard only the original order; they evidently did not know of its\nnecessary modification, after Lee was made aware by his own personal\nobservations and by Longstreet\u2019s explanations that it was impossible to\nwithdraw Hood and McLaws.\nThe official reports of both Lee and Longstreet are conclusive on this\npoint, and they substantially agree. In the paragraph quoted in the\npreceding chapter, Longstreet states explicitly that \u201cthe commanding\ngeneral joined me\u201d (on the far right on the morning of the 3d) \u201cand\nordered a column of attack to be formed of Pickett\u2019s, Heth\u2019s, and part\nof Pender\u2019s divisions,\u201d etc. If this was a misstatement, why did not\nLee correct it before sending the report to the War Department? He did\nnot; on the contrary, Lee corroborates Longstreet in these paragraphs\nof his own official report, in which he also explains in detail why\nMcLaws and Hood were not ordered forward with Pickett:\n \u201cGeneral Longstreet was delayed by a force occupying the high\n rocky hills on the enemy\u2019s extreme left, from which his troops\n could be attacked in reverse as they advanced. His operations\n had been embarrassed the day previous by the same cause, and\n he now deemed it necessary to defend his flank and rear with\n the divisions of Hood and McLaws. He was therefore reinforced\n by Heth\u2019s division and two brigades of Pender\u2019s.... General\n Longstreet ordered forward the column of attack, consisting of\n Pickett\u2019s and Heth\u2019s divisions in two lines, Pickett on the\n right.\u201d\nNow, one of Lee\u2019s favorite officers, General Pickett, had personal\nsupervision of the formation of the attacking column. General Lee was\nfor a time personally present while this work was going on, conversing\nwith Pickett concerning the proper dispositions and making various\nsuggestions. He therefore knew by personal observation, before the\ncharge was made, exactly what troops were included and what were not.\nHe knew that the extreme right of Hood\u2019s division was at that moment\nfully three miles away, holding a difficult position in face of an\noverwhelming force of Federals, and McLaws almost equally distant.\nWith these documents before him, how can Gordon believe it an\n\u201cestablished fact\u201d that Lee expected McLaws and Hood to take part in\nthe Pickett charge?\nIt is admitted by almost if not quite all authority on the subject\nthat Pickett\u2019s charge was hopeless. The addition of McLaws and Hood\nwould not have increased the chances of success. The Confederates\nunder Longstreet and R. H. Anderson had tested the enemy\u2019s position on\nthat front thoroughly in the battle of the 2d, and with a much larger\nforce, including these same divisions of McLaws and Hood, who had been\nrepulsed. There was every reason to believe that the position was much\nstronger on the final day than when Longstreet attacked it on the 2d.\nThe troops of Hood and McLaws, in view of their enormous losses, were\nin no condition to support Pickett effectively, even had they been free\nfor that purpose. But it has been shown above by the testimony of both\nLee and Longstreet that they were required to maintain the position\nthey had won in the desperate struggle of the evening previous to\nprevent the twenty-two thousand men of the Union Fifth and Sixth Corps\nfrom falling _en masse_ upon Pickett\u2019s right flank, or their own flank\nand rear had they moved in unison with Pickett.\nHaving proved from Lee\u2019s own official written utterances that the\nthree foregoing points set up by Gordon cannot possibly be accepted as\n\u201cestablished facts,\u201d we now come to his \u201cfourthly,\u201d which is really a\nsumming up of the whole case against Longstreet,--viz., that he was\ndisobedient, slow, \u201cbalky,\u201d and obstructive at Gettysburg. He says,--\n \u201cFourthly, that the great mistake of the halt on the first day\n would have been repaired on the second, and even on the third\n day, if Lee\u2019s orders had been vigorously executed, and that\n General Lee died believing that he lost Gettysburg at last by\n Longstreet\u2019s disobedience of orders.\u201d\nThe first positive utterance holding General Longstreet responsible for\nthe defeat at Gettysburg, through failure to obey Lee\u2019s orders, came\nfrom Rev. Dr. William N. Pendleton, an Episcopal clergyman of Virginia,\non the 17th of January, 1873. General Lee had then been dead more than\ntwo years. In view of what follows it is well to bear in mind these two\ndistinct dates. There had been some vague hints, particularly among\nsome of the higher ex-Confederates from Virginia prior to Pendleton\u2019s\ncategorical story, but Pendleton was the first person to distinctly\nformulate the indictment against Longstreet for disobedience of orders.\nIn an address delivered in the town of Lexington, Virginia, on the date\nmentioned, in behalf of a memorial church to General Lee, Pendleton\nuses this language, referring to the battle of Gettysburg:\n \u201cThe ground southwest of the town [Gettysburg] was carefully\n examined by me after the engagement of July 1.... Its practicable\n character was reported to our commanding general. He informed\n me that he had _ordered Longstreet to attack on that front at\n sunrise next morning_. And he added to myself: \u2018I want you to be\n out long before sunrise, so as to re-examine and save time.\u2019 He\n also desired me to communicate with General Longstreet, as well\n as himself. The reconnoissance was accordingly made as soon as it\n was light enough on the 2d.... All this, as it occurred under my\n personal observation, it is nothing short of imperative duty that\n I thus fairly state.\u201d\nRev. Dr. Pendleton was a brigadier-general and chief of artillery\non Lee\u2019s staff. He was a graduate of West Point, and was the cadet\nfriend of Lee for more than three years in the Military Academy. After\nthe war they were closely associated at Lexington, Virginia. His\nfulmination had the effect of a bombshell. There was a hue and cry at\nonce; corroborative evidence of the easy hearsay sort was forthcoming\nfrom various interested quarters, but most markedly and noisily from\nthe State of Virginia, as if by preconcert. Pendleton\u2019s fulmination\nappeared to have been expected by those who had previously been\npursuing Longstreet. The late General Jubal A. Early was particularly\nstrenuous in unreserved endorsement of the Pendleton story. The Rev. J.\nWilliam Jones, of Richmond, the self-appointed conservator of General\nLee\u2019s fair fame, also quickly added his testimony to the reliability of\nthe Rev. Dr. Pendleton\u2019s discovery and dramatic disclosure. Those who\napproved generally fortified Pendleton with additional statements of\ntheir own.\nPendleton\u2019s statement is characteristic of the whole, but it was for\na time the more effective because it was more definite, in that it\npurported to recite a positive statement by Lee of an alleged order to\nLongstreet. If Pendleton\u2019s statement falls, the whole falls.\nGeneral Longstreet was astounded when Pendleton\u2019s Lexington story was\nbrought to his attention. He had previously paid but little attention\nto indefinite gossip of a certain coterie that he had been \u201cslow\u201d and\neven \u201cobstructive\u201d at Gettysburg, and had never heard before that he\nwas accused of having disobeyed a positive order to attack at any given\nhour. That false accusation aroused him to action. He categorically\ndenied Pendleton\u2019s absurd allegations, and at once appealed to several\nliving members of Lee\u2019s staff and to others in a position to know the\nfacts, to exonerate him from the charge of having disobeyed his chief,\nthereby causing disaster.\nColonel Walter H. Taylor, a Virginian, and General Lee\u2019s\nadjutant-general, promptly responded as follows:\n \u201cNORFOLK, VIRGINIA, April 28, 1875.\n \u201cDEAR GENERAL,--I have received your letter of the 20th inst. I\n have not read the article of which you speak, nor have I ever\n seen any copy of General Pendleton\u2019s address; indeed, I have\n read little or nothing of what has been written since the war.\n In the first place, because I could not spare the time, and in\n the second, of those of whose writings I have heard I deem but\n very few entitled to any attention whatever. I can only say that\n I never before heard of \u2018the sunrise attack\u2019 you were to have\n made as charged by General Pendleton. If such an order was given\n you I never knew of it, or it has strangely escaped my memory.\n I think it more than probable that if General Lee had had your\n troops available the evening previous to the day of which you\n speak he would have ordered an early attack, but this does not\n touch the point at issue. I regard it as a great mistake on the\n part of those who, perhaps because of political differences, now\n undertake to criticise and attack your war record. Such conduct\n is most ungenerous, and I am sure meets the disapprobation of\n all good Confederates with whom I have had the pleasure of\n associating in the daily walks of life.\n \u201cYours very respectfully,\n \u201cTO GENERAL LONGSTREET.\u201d\nTwo years afterwards Colonel Taylor published an article strongly\ncriticising General Longstreet\u2019s operations at Gettysburg, but in that\narticle was this candid admission:\n \u201cIndeed, great injustice has been done him [Longstreet] in the\n charge that he had orders from the commanding general to attack\n the enemy at sunrise on the 2d of July, and that he disobeyed\n these orders. This would imply that he was in position to attack,\n whereas General Lee but anticipated his early arrival on the\n 2d, and based his calculations upon it. I have shown how he was\n disappointed, and I need hardly add that the delay was fatal.\u201d\nThe fact that Colonel Taylor was himself a somewhat severe critic of\nGeneral Longstreet, through a misapprehension of certain facts and\nconditions, gives additional force and value to this statement.\nColonel Charles Marshall, then an aide on Lee\u2019s staff, who succeeded\nLong as Military Secretary and subsequently had charge of all the\npapers left by General Lee, wrote as follows:\n \u201cBALTIMORE, MARYLAND, May 7, 1875.\n \u201cDEAR GENERAL,--Your letter of the 20th ult. was received\n and should have had an earlier reply but for my engagements\n preventing me from looking at my papers to find what I could\n on the subject. I have no personal recollection of the order\n to which you refer. It certainly was not conveyed by me, nor\n is there anything in General Lee\u2019s official report to show the\n attack on the 2d was expected by him to begin earlier, except\n that he notices that there was not proper concert of action on\n that day....\n \u201cRespectfully,\n \u201cCHARLES MARSHALL.\n \u201cTO GENERAL LONGSTREET, NEW ORLEANS.\u201d\nColonel Charles S. Venable, another of Lee\u2019s aides and after the war\none of his firmest partisans, made the following detailed statement,\nwhich not only refutes Pendleton\u2019s Lexington story, but bears\nluminously upon every other point at issue concerning the alleged early\nattack order of the 2d:\n \u201cUNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, May 11, 1875.\n \u201cGENERAL JAMES LONGSTREET:\n \u201cDEAR GENERAL,--Your letter of the 25th ultimo, with regard\n to General Lee\u2019s battle order on the 1st and 2d of July at\n Gettysburg, was duly received. I did not know of any order for an\n attack on the enemy at sunrise on the 2d, nor can I believe any\n such order was issued by General Lee. About sunrise on the 2d of\n July I was sent by General Lee to General Ewell to ask him what\n he thought of the advantages of an attack on the enemy from his\n position. (Colonel Marshall had been sent with a similar order\n on the night of the 1st.) General Ewell made me ride with him\n from point to point of his lines, so as to see with him the exact\n position of things. Before he got through the examination of the\n enemy\u2019s position General Lee came himself to General Ewell\u2019s\n lines. In sending the message to General Ewell, General Lee was\n explicit in saying that the question was whether he should move\n all the troops around on the right and attack on that side. I do\n not think that the errand on which I was sent by the commanding\n general is consistent with the idea of an attack at sunrise by\n any portion of the army.\n \u201cYours very truly,\nGeneral A. L. Long, a Virginian, was General Lee\u2019s Military Secretary\nand aide at Gettysburg. After the war he wrote a book,--\u201cMemoirs of\nGeneral Lee,\u201d--in which he endeavored to hold Longstreet largely\nresponsible for the Gettysburg disaster. But in it he made no assertion\nthat Longstreet had disobeyed an order for a sunrise attack on the 2d,\nor at any other specific hour on that or the next day. He wrote as\nfollows:\n \u201cBIG ISLAND, BEDFORD, VIRGINIA, May 31, 1875.\n \u201cDEAR GENERAL,--Your letter of the 20th ult., referring to an\n assertion of General Pendleton\u2019s, made in a lecture delivered\n several years ago, which was recently published in the _Southern\n Historical Society Magazine_ substantially as follows: \u2018That\n General Lee ordered General Longstreet to attack General Meade\n at sunrise on the morning of the 2d of July,\u2019 has been received.\n I do not recollect of hearing of an order to attack at sunrise,\n or at any other designated hour, pending the operations at\n Gettysburg during the first three days of July, 1863....\n \u201cYours truly,\n \u201cTO GENERAL LONGSTREET.\u201d\nThe foregoing letters, all written by members of General Lee\u2019s military\nfamily, all his close friends and personal partisans, are worth a\ncareful study. They not only negative General Pendleton\u2019s \u201csunrise\u201d\nstory, but as a whole they go to prove that it was not expected by Lee,\nLongstreet, Pendleton, nor any other high officer, that an early attack\nwas to have been delivered on the 2d of July. Both Generals McLaws and\nHood, Longstreet\u2019s division commanders, made statements disclosing that\nthey were totally unaware at Gettysburg of any order for a sunrise\nattack on that day. No officer in a position to know anything about the\nmatter confirmed Pendleton\u2019s statement, while everybody who should have\nbeen aware of such an important order, directly contradicted it, as do\nall the records.\nThe statement of General McLaws appeared in a narrative of Gettysburg\npublished in a Savannah paper nearly thirty years ago. Besides\nits direct bearing on the Pendleton story, it furnishes valuable\ninformation as to some of the causes of delay encountered by\nLongstreet\u2019s troops in their long march from Chambersburg on the 1st of\nJuly:\n \u201cOn the 30th of June I had been directed to have my division\n in readiness to follow General Ewell\u2019s corps. Marching towards\n Gettysburg, which it was intimated we would have passed by\n ten o\u2019clock the next day (the 1st of July), my division was\n accordingly marched from its camp and lined along the road in the\n order of march by eight o\u2019clock the 1st of July. When the troops\n of Ewell\u2019s corps (it was Johnston\u2019s division in charge of Ewell\u2019s\n wagon-trains, which were coming from Carlisle by the road west of\n the mountains) had passed the head of my column I asked General\n Longstreet\u2019s staff-officer, Major Fairfax, if my division should\n follow. He went off to inquire, and returned with orders for\n me to wait until Ewell\u2019s wagon-train had passed, which did not\n happen until after four o\u2019clock P.M.\n \u201cThe train was calculated to be fourteen miles long, when I\n took up the line of march and continued marching until I arrived\n within three miles of Gettysburg, where my command camped along\n a creek. This was far into the night. My division was leading\n Longstreet\u2019s corps, and of course the other divisions came up\n later. I saw Hood\u2019s division the next morning, and understood\n that Pickett had been detached to guard the rear.\n \u201cWhile on the march, at about ten o\u2019clock at night I met General\n Longstreet and some of his staff coming from the direction of\n Gettysburg and had a few moments\u2019 conversation with him. He said\n nothing of having received an order to attack at daylight the\n next morning. Here I will state that until General Pendleton\n mentioned it about two years ago, when he was on a lecturing\n tour, after the death of General Lee, I never heard it intimated\n even that any such order had ever been given.\u201d\nThe following is an extract from a letter[D] of General Hood to General\nLongstreet on the subject of the sunrise order, which indirectly,\nthough conclusively, shows there could have been no such order, besides\nbeing interesting and instructive as to other points:\n \u201cI arrived with my staff in front of the heights of Gettysburg\n shortly after daybreak, as I have already stated, on the morning\n of the 2d of July. My division soon commenced filing into an\n open field near me, when the troops were allowed to stack arms\n and rest until further orders. A short distance in advance of\n this point, and during the early part of the same morning, we\n were both engaged in company with Generals A. P. Hill and Lee\n in observing the position of the Federals. General Lee, with\n coat buttoned to the throat, sabre belt around his waist, and\n field-glasses pending at his side, walked up and down in the\n shade of large trees near us, halting now and then to observe\n the enemy. He seemed full of hope, yet at times buried in\n deep thought. Colonel Fremantle, of England, was ensconced in\n the forks of a tree not far off with glasses in constant use\n examining the lofty position of the Federal army.\n \u201cGeneral Lee was seemingly anxious that you should attack that\n morning. He remarked to me, \u2018The enemy is here, and if we do not\n whip him he will whip us.\u2019 You thought it better to await the\n arrival of Pickett\u2019s division, at that time still in the rear, in\n order to make the attack, and you said to me subsequently, while\n we were seated together near the trunk of a tree, \u2018General Lee is\n a little nervous this morning. He wishes me to attack. I do not\n wish to do so without Pickett. I never like to go into a battle\n with one boot off.\u2019\u201d\nAnother letter, which in a way is still more important than any of the\nforegoing, is one from Colonel John W. Fairfax, a member of General\nLongstreet\u2019s staff. It tends to show that the sunrise-order story was\nconjured up by Dr. Pendleton and others at Lexington after Lee\u2019s death;\nin other words, it is strong circumstantial confirmation of General\nLongstreet\u2019s belief in a conspiracy. Written more than twenty-six years\nago, the manner in which it dovetails with all the foregoing statements\nand documents as to the various events involved is peculiarly\nsignificant. Colonel Fairfax is a Virginian and was always an ardent\nadmirer of General Lee, but not to the extent of desiring to uphold his\nfame at the expense of honor or the ruin of another:\n \u201cFREESTONE P. O., PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VIRGINIA.\n \u201cMY DEAR GENERAL LONGSTREET,-- ... The winter after the death\n of General Lee I was in Lexington, visiting my sons at the\n Virginia Military Institute. General Pendleton called to see me\n at the hotel. General Custis Lee was in my room when he came in.\n After General Lee left, General Pendleton asked me if General\n Longstreet was not ordered to attack on the 2d of July at six\n o\u2019clock in the morning, and did not attack until four in the\n evening. I told him it was not possible. When he left me I was\n under the impression I had convinced him of his mistaken idea. I\n told General Pendleton that you and General Lee were together the\n greater part of the day up to about three o\u2019clock or later; that\n you separated at the mouth of a lane not long thereafter. You\n said to me, \u2018Those troops will be in position by the time you get\n there; tell General Hood to attack.\u2019\n \u201cWhen I gave the order to General Hood he was standing within a\n step or two of his line of battle. I asked him to please delay\n his attack until I could communicate to General Longstreet that\n he can turn the enemy--pointing to a gorge in the mountain, where\n we would be sheltered from his view and attack by his cavalry.\n General Hood slapped me on the knee, and said, \u2018I agree with you;\n bring General Longstreet to see for himself. When I reported to\n you, your answer was, \u2018It is General Lee\u2019s order; the time is\n up,--attack at once.\u2019 I lost no time in repeating the same to\n General Hood, and remained with him to see the attack, which was\n made instantly. We had a beautiful view of the enemy\u2019s left from\n Hood\u2019s position, which was close up to him. He gave way quickly.\n General Hood charged, and I spurred to report to you; found you\n with hat in hand, cheering on General McLaws\u2019s division....\n \u201cTruly your friend,\nGeneral Longstreet\u2019s views at the time of the Gettysburg operations are\nconveyed in a personal letter of a confidential nature, written only\ntwenty days after the event to his uncle in Georgia, upon being made\naware that there was a sly undercurrent of misrepresentation of his\ncourse current in certain circles of the army:\n \u201cCAMP CULPEPER COURT-HOUSE,\n \u201cMY DEAR UNCLE,--Your letters of the 13th and 14th were received\n on yesterday. As to our late battle I cannot say much. I have\n no right to say anything, in fact, but will venture a little\n for you alone. If it goes to aunt and cousins it must be under\n promise that it will go no farther. The battle was not made as\n I would have made it. My idea was to throw ourselves between the\n enemy and Washington, select a strong position, and force the\n enemy to attack us. So far as is given to man the ability to\n judge, we may say with confidence that we should have destroyed\n the Federal army, marched into Washington, and dictated our\n terms, or at least held Washington and marched over as much of\n Pennsylvania as we cared to, had we drawn the enemy into attack\n upon our carefully chosen position in his rear. General Lee chose\n the plans adopted, and he is the person appointed to choose and\n to order. I consider it a part of my duty to express my views\n to the commanding general. If he approves and adopts them, it\n is well; if he does not, it is my duty to adopt his views and\n to execute his orders as faithfully as if they were my own. I\n cannot help but think that great results would have been obtained\n had my views been thought better of, yet I am much inclined to\n accept the present condition as for the best. I hope and trust\n that it is so. Your programme would all be well enough had it\n been practicable, and was duly thought of, too. I fancy that no\n good ideas upon that campaign will be mentioned at any time that\n did not receive their share of consideration by General Lee.\n The few things that he might have overlooked himself were, I\n believe, suggested by myself. As we failed, I must take my share\n of the responsibility. In fact, I would prefer that all the blame\n should rest upon me. As General Lee is our commander, he should\n have the support and influence we can give him. If the blame, if\n there is any, can be shifted from him to me, I shall help him\n and our cause by taking it. I desire, therefore, that all the\n responsibility that can be put upon me shall go there and shall\n remain there. The truth will be known in time, and I leave that\n to show how much of the responsibility of Gettysburg rests on my\n shoulders....\n \u201cMost affectionately yours,\n \u201cTO A. B. LONGSTREET, LL.D., COLUMBUS, GA.\u201d\nAside from all this irrefragable personal testimony of conspicuous\nparticipants disproving Pendleton\u2019s apocryphal story, there is other\nevidence still more conclusive that no sunrise order for attack by\nLongstreet was given by Lee, and equally strong that an early attack on\nthat day was out of the question. The position of Longstreet\u2019s troops,\nall still absent from the field and on the march, forbade an attack by\nhim at sunrise, or at any other hour much before noon, at the point\ndesignated by Lee. General Lee was well aware of its impossibility. At\nsunrise Longstreet\u2019s infantry was still distant from the field, but\nrapidly coming up. One brigade (Law\u2019s) was not less than twenty miles\naway at the very hour Pendleton would have had Longstreet attack.\nMcLaws\u2019s and Hood\u2019s divisions had encamped at Marsh Creek, four miles\nfrom Gettysburg, at midnight of the 1st, and did not begin to arrive on\nSeminary Ridge until more than three hours after sunrise on the 2d.\nThe corps artillery did not get up until nine or ten o\u2019clock, and part\nof it not until noon or after. Pickett\u2019s division did not begin its\nmarch from the vicinity of Chambersburg, some thirty miles away, until\nthe 2d. Pendleton\u2019s report, herein quoted, shows how the artillery was\ndelayed, and the deterrent effect that delay had upon Longstreet\u2019s\nadvance after he received the order. Pendleton himself was the chief of\nartillery, and largely responsible for its man\u0153uvres.\nAfter their arrival upon Seminary Ridge, the infantry of Hood and\nMcLaws was massed in a field within musket shot of General Lee\u2019s\nhead-quarters, and there rested until the troops took arms for the\nmarch to the point of attack. From this point of rest near Lee\u2019s\nhead-quarters to the point of attack, by the circuitous route selected\nby Pendleton, was between five and seven miles.\nSo that Longstreet\u2019s infantry, the nearest at hand, had from nine\nto eleven miles to march to reach the selected point of attack, the\ngreater part of which march by the back roads and ravines, to avoid\nthe observation of the enemy, was necessarily slow at best, and made\ndoubly so by the mistakes of Pendleton\u2019s guides, who put the troops\nupon the wrong routes. The artillery, still back on the Chambersburg\nroad, did not all get up until noon, causing a further delay of the\nwhole column, as shown by the Pendleton report. General Law\u2019s brigade,\nmarching from 3 A.M., arrived about noon.\nAfter they came up all movements were still several hours delayed,\nawaiting Lee\u2019s personal reconnoissances on the left and right to\ndetermine the point of attack.\nColonel Venable says that \u201cabout sunrise\u201d he was sent to General\nEwell on the left to inquire if it were not more feasible to attack\nin that quarter. While he was riding from point to point with Ewell,\nLee himself came over to see Ewell in person. Lee did not return\nto Longstreet\u2019s front until about nine o\u2019clock. Meanwhile, his\nstaff-officers, Pendleton, Long, Colonel Walker, and Captain Johnston,\nby Lee\u2019s orders, had been examining the ground to the right. Upon Lee\u2019s\nreturn from the left he rode far to the right and joined Pendleton.\nNot until then was the attack on the enemy\u2019s left by Longstreet finally\ndecided upon. Longstreet said it was not earlier than eleven o\u2019clock\nwhen he received his orders to move; from the time consumed by Lee and\nhis staff it was probably later. The front of the Confederate army was\nsix miles in extent.\nHence matters on the morning of July 2 were not awaiting Longstreet\u2019s\nmovements. All that long forenoon everything was still in the air,\ndepending upon Lee\u2019s personal examinations and final decisions.\nIt is perfectly clear from this indecision on the 2d that Lee could not\nhave arrived at a decision the previous night, as asserted by Pendleton\nat Lexington long after the war.\nCHAPTER V\nLONGSTREET\u2019S VERSION OF THE OPERATIONS OF JULY 2\n \u201cGeneral Lee never in his life gave me orders to open an attack\n at a specific hour. He was perfectly satisfied that when I had my\n troops in position and was ordered to attack, no time was ever\n lost.\u201d--LONGSTREET ON THE SECOND DAY AT GETTYSBURG.\nThe hour, the feasibility, and point of attack have now been thoroughly\ndiscussed, mainly from the stand-point of the official records. As\nsupplementary to the recitations of the official reports of Lee,\nLongstreet, Pendleton, and others quoted on these heads, it seems\ndesirable to introduce just here General Longstreet\u2019s version of his\noperations on July 2, published so long ago as 1877, only twelve\nyears after Appomattox and two decades before he knew the tenor\nof Pendleton\u2019s report. It was given to the world long before the\npublication of the official records by the government, to which he\ncould therefore have had no access. How closely he is confirmed in all\nessential particulars by the records is marvellous. In this regard it\nis to be noted that in all these controversies his statements have\nalways stood analysis in the light of all the evidence far better than\nthose of his reckless critics. The following is useful because it\ncomprehensively sums up from Longstreet\u2019s stand-point all the movements\nrelating to fixing the point and time of his attack, the movement and\ndisposition of his troops, and other incidents:\n[Illustration: SECOND DAY\u2019S BATTLE, GETTYSBURG.]\n \u201cGeneral Lee never in his life gave me orders to open an attack\n at a specific hour. He was perfectly satisfied that when I had\n my troops in position and was ordered to attack, no time was\n ever lost. On the night of the 1st I left him without any\n orders at all. On the morning of the 2d I went to General Lee\u2019s\n head-quarters at daylight and renewed my views against making\n an attack. He seemed resolved, however, and we discussed the\n probable results. We observed the position of the Federals and\n got a general idea of the nature of the ground. About sunrise\n General Lee sent Colonel Venable, of his staff, to General\n Ewell\u2019s head-quarters, ordering him to make a reconnoissance of\n the ground in his front, with a view of making the main attack on\n his left. A short time afterwards he followed Colonel Venable in\n person. He returned at about nine o\u2019clock and informed me that it\n would not do to have Ewell open the attack. He finally determined\n that I should make the main attack on the extreme right. It was\n fully eleven o\u2019clock when General Lee arrived at this conclusion\n and ordered the movement. In the mean time, by General Lee\u2019s\n authority, Law\u2019s brigade, which had been put upon picket duty,\n was ordered to rejoin my command, and upon my suggestion that\n it would be better to await its arrival, General Lee assented.\n We waited about forty minutes for these troops and then moved\n forward. A delay of several hours occurred in the march of the\n troops. The cause of this delay was that we had been ordered by\n General Lee to proceed cautiously upon the forward movement so\n as to avoid being seen by the enemy. General Lee ordered Captain\n Johnston, of his engineer corps, to lead and conduct the head\n of the column. My troops therefore moved forward under guidance\n of a special officer of General Lee, and with instructions to\n follow his directions. I left General Lee only after the line had\n stretched out on the march, and rode along with Hood\u2019s division,\n which was in the rear. The march was necessarily slow, the\n conductor frequently encountering points that exposed the troops\n to the view of the signal station on Round Top. At length the\n column halted.\n \u201cAfter waiting some time, supposing that it would soon move\n forward, I sent to the front to inquire the occasion of the\n delay. It was reported that the column was awaiting the movements\n of Captain Johnston, who was trying to lead it by some route by\n which it could pursue its march without falling under view of the\n Federal signal station. Looking up towards Round Top, I saw that\n the signal station was in full view, and, as we could plainly\n see this station, it was apparent that our heavy columns were\n seen from their position and that further efforts to conceal\n ourselves would be a waste of time.\n \u201cI became very impatient at this delay, and determined to take\n upon myself the responsibility of hurrying the troops forward.\n I did not order General McLaws forward because, as the head of\n the column, he had direct orders from General Lee to follow the\n conduct of Colonel Johnston. Therefore I sent orders to Hood,\n who was in the rear and not encumbered by these instructions, to\n push his division forward by the most direct route so as to take\n position on my right. He did so, and thus broke up the delay. The\n troops were rapidly thrown into position and preparations were\n made for the attack.\n \u201cWe had learned on the night of the 1st, from some prisoners\n captured near Seminary Ridge, that the First, Eleventh, and\n Third Corps had arrived by the Emmitsburg road and had taken\n position on the heights in front of us, and that reinforcements\n had been seen coming by the Baltimore road just after the fight\n of the 1st. From an intercepted despatch we learned that another\n corps was in camp about four miles from the field. We had every\n reason, therefore, to believe that the Federals were prepared to\n renew the battle. Our army was stretched in an elliptical curve,\n reaching from the front of Round Top around Seminary Ridge, and\n enveloping Cemetery Heights on the left; thus covering a space of\n four or five miles. The enemy occupied the high ground in front\n of us, being massed within a curve of about two miles, nearly\n concentric with the curve described by our forces. His line was\n about fourteen hundred yards from ours. Any one will see that\n the proposition for this inferior force to assault and drive out\n the masses of troops upon the heights was a very problematical\n one. My orders from General Lee were \u2018to envelop the enemy\u2019s left\n and begin the attack there, following up as near as possible the\n direction of the Emmitsburg road.\u2019\n \u201cMy corps occupied our right, with Hood on the extreme right\n and McLaws next. Hill\u2019s corps was next to mine, in front of the\n Federal centre, and Ewell was on our extreme left. My corps, with\n Pickett\u2019s division absent, numbered hardly thirteen thousand\n men. I realized that the fight was to be a fearful one; but\n being assured that my flank would be protected by the brigades of\n Wilcox, Perry, Wright, Posey, and Mahone, moving _en echelon_,\n and that Ewell was to co-operate by a direct attack on the\n enemy\u2019s right, and Hill to threaten his centre and attack if\n opportunity offered, and thus prevent reinforcements from being\n launched either against myself or Ewell, it seemed that we might\n possibly dislodge the great army in front of us.\u201d\nCHAPTER VI\nPENDLETON\u2019S REPORT\n \u201cPendleton\u2019s report will destroy many illusions of Lee\u2019s\n misguided friends who are unwittingly doing deadly injury to\n his military fame by magnifying the mistakes of Gettysburg and\n ascribing them to another.\u201d--LESLIE J. PERRY, formerly of the War\n Records Department.\nThere is even more positive proof than has yet been produced. That\nLee gave no such order as described in Pendleton\u2019s Lexington lecture,\nor for an \u201cearly attack,\u201d as asserted by Gordon now, is absolutely\nproved by an official report of Gettysburg, penned by General Pendleton\nhimself. That Pendleton was an oral falsifier of history is established\nby his own hand, under date of September 12, 1863, only nine weeks\nafter the battle.\nConfident in his own rectitude of purpose and conduct, and far from\nbeing an expert controversialist, for he was without guile himself,\nit is not at all singular that the significance of Pendleton\u2019s report\nin connection with the Lexington story should for years have entirely\nescaped General Longstreet\u2019s notice. He knew that the document was\nprinted in its sequence in the Gettysburg volumes of the War Records,\nand for certain purposes had even quoted from it regarding other\nquestions. He was also fully aware that General Pendleton had long\nbeen distinguished for the unreliability of his memory. Nevertheless\nGeneral Longstreet had never analyzed the report to the extent of\nobserving that it made ridiculous the reverend gentleman\u2019s version of\nIt is most striking that the extraordinary tenor of this old\nPendletonian exhumation of the War Records office in Washington\nshould so long have passed entirely unnoticed by everybody, despite\nthe researches of the most industrious. It remained for Mr. Leslie J.\nPerry, one of the historical experts then in charge of the government\npublication of the Union and Confederate records of the Civil War, to\npoint out some nine years ago how glaringly the Pendleton report of\n1863 stultified the Pendleton story of 1873.\nThe immediate result of the exploitation of the Pendleton report\nwas the elimination of the sunrise story from the repertory of the\nanti-Longstreet crusaders. In the subsequent literature of the\nsubject a decided change of tone regarding other allegations was\nsoon perceived, more favorable to Longstreet. General Longstreet was\nastounded by this bald disclosure of his old military associate\u2019s\ntergiversation, to call it nothing worse. For a time after the\nappearance of the Lexington story, he had charitably presumed that, in\nan excess of zeal to protect General Lee\u2019s military fame, Pendleton\nmight really have harbored in good faith the belief that his Lexington\nstatements were true. But after reading the detailed analysis of the\nPendleton report, and carefully studying the report itself, General\nLongstreet speedily arrived at the conclusion that he was the victim\nof a deliberate conspiracy. It is not strange that he found it hard\nto forgive the conspirators, even after becoming fully aware that the\nworld was practically convinced that he had been cruelly misrepresented.\nLet us see how \u201cfairly\u201d Pendleton stated the case against General\nLongstreet in his Lexington lecture. His official report[E] of\nGettysburg was written only about sixty days after the battle. It was\ndated September 12, 1863. It is a detailed report of the operations of\nthe Confederate artillery in the Pennsylvania campaign, embodying a\nminute description of General Pendleton\u2019s personal movements on that\nday. That is its only value to this discussion. The paragraphs having a\nbearing upon the time of Longstreet\u2019s attack are as follows:\n \u201cFrom the farthest occupied point on the right and front, in\n company with Colonels Long and Walker and Captain Johnston\n (engineer), soon _after sunrise_ I surveyed the enemy\u2019s position\n towards some estimate of the ground and best mode of attack.\n So far as judgment could be formed from such a view, assault\n on the enemy\u2019s left by our extreme right might succeed, should\n the mountain there offer no insuperable obstacle. The attack on\n that side, if practicable, I understood to be the purpose of the\n commanding general.\n \u201cReturning from this position more to the right and rear, for the\n sake of tracing more exactly the mode of approach, I proceeded\n some distance along the ravine road noticed the previous evening,\n and was made aware of having entered the enemy\u2019s lines by meeting\n two armed dismounted cavalrymen. Apparently surprised, they\n immediately surrendered, and were disarmed and sent to the rear.\n \u201cHaving satisfied myself of the course and character of this\n road, I returned to an elevated point on the Fairfield road,\n which furnished a very extensive view, and despatched messengers\n to General Longstreet and the commanding general. This front was,\n after some time, examined by Colonel Smith and Captain Johnston\n (engineers), and about midday General Longstreet arrived and\n viewed the ground. He desired Colonel Alexander to obtain the\n best view he then could of the front. I therefore conducted the\n colonel to the advanced point of observation previously visited.\n Its approach was now more hazardous from the fire of the enemy\u2019s\n sharp-shooters, so that special caution was necessary in making\n the desired observation. Just then a sharp contest occurred in\n the woods to the right and rear of this forward point. Anderson\u2019s\n division, Third Corps, had moved up and was driving the enemy\n from these woods. These woods having thus been cleared of the\n enemy, some view of the ground beyond them, and much farther\n to the right than had yet been examined, seemed practicable. I\n therefore rode in that direction, and when about to enter the\n woods, met the commanding general _en route_ himself to survey\n the ground.\n \u201cThere being here still a good deal of sharp-shooting, the front\n had to be examined with caution.... Having noticed the field and\n the enemy\u2019s batteries, etc., I returned to General Longstreet\n for the purpose of conducting his column to this point, and\n supervising, as might be necessary, the disposition of his\n artillery. He was advancing by the ravine road (as most out of\n view), time having already been lost in attempting another, which\n proved objectionable because exposed to observation. On learning\n the state of facts ahead, the general halted, and sent back to\n hasten his artillery. Members of my staff were also despatched to\n remedy, as far as practicable, the delay. Cabell\u2019s, Alexander\u2019s,\n and Henry\u2019s battalions at length arrived, and the whole column\n moved towards the enemy\u2019s left.... The enemy opened a furious\n cannonade, the course of which rendered necessary a change in\n the main artillery column. Cabell\u2019s deflected to the left, while\n Alexander\u2019s was mainly parked for a season, somewhat under cover,\n till it could advance to better purpose.... Soon after, at about\n 4 P.M., the general assault was made.\u201d\nHere is the whole of Pendleton\u2019s celebrated report, so far as it bears\nupon the hour of Longstreet\u2019s attack on the 2d of July. Nothing is\nomitted relating to the preliminary movements of Longstreet\u2019s column\nof attack, or that in any manner modifies the tenor of the parts\nintroduced.\nCHAPTER VII\nPENDLETON\u2019S UNRELIABLE MEMORY\n All the battle worthy the name for the Southern cause at\n Gettysburg on the 2d and 3d was made by Longstreet. The whole\n superstructure of the contentions against his honor as a soldier\n is based solely on the statements since the war, and since Lee\u2019s\n death, of two or three obscure individuals. They are easily\n exploded by the records of the battles; they are corroborated by\n none.\nWhen the Rev. Dr. Pendleton told that dramatic story to his breathless\nhearers at Lexington in 1873, under \u201cpressure of imperative duty,\u201d had\nhe forgotten the tenor of his official report, made in 1863? The story\nas modified by the prior report forms the greatest anticlimax in all\nhistory. Several decisive facts are disclosed by this unbiassed report.\n1. Instead of being dilatory and obstructive, Pendleton himself\nestablishes that Longstreet was personally exerting himself to \u201chasten\nforward\u201d the very artillery of which he, Pendleton, was the chief.\n2. As late certainly as eleven o\u2019clock, if not noon, General Lee and\nhis staff-officers were still rambling all over a front six miles\nlong, yet undetermined either as to the point or proper route of\nattack. According to both Pendleton and Venable, they did not _begin_\nthis necessary preliminary survey until \u201cabout sunrise,\u201d the specific\nhour at which General Lee on the night previous had already ordered\nLongstreet to begin his attack, as asserted by Pendleton at Lexington.\n3. Not until Lee and Pendleton had devoted the entire forenoon to the\nexamination of the ground, did Pendleton go to conduct Longstreet to\nthe point of attack thereupon decided upon. Evidently Longstreet was\nnot delaying action; he was awaiting their motions.\nThe following general conclusions upon the state of facts disclosed by\nPendleton\u2019s remarkable report are therefore inevitable and unavoidable.\n1. At sunrise of the 2d, General Lee himself did not know where to\nattack. He did not know as late as ten or eleven o\u2019clock. His mind\nwas not fully made up until after he came back from Ewell\u2019s front\n(about nine o\u2019clock, according to all authorities), and had made the\nfinal examination on the right. General Longstreet says he received\nhis orders to move about eleven o\u2019clock, and this corresponds with\nPendleton\u2019s report. But if anything, it was later, rather than earlier.\n2. These painstaking, time-consuming reconnoissances of the commanding\ngeneral and his staff-officers, the journey of Colonel Venable to\nEwell, three miles to the left, and Lee\u2019s later visit to Ewell,\ntogether with the unavoidable absence of General Longstreet\u2019s troops\nuntil late in the morning, prove absolutely that Lee issued no order\nfor Longstreet to attack at any specific hour on July 2.\n3. Longstreet\u2019s preliminary movements from start to finish were\nunder the personal supervision of Lee\u2019s confidential staff-officer,\nPendleton, and the subordinate staff-officers. So Longstreet has\npositively stated, so has General McLaws, and both are confirmed by\nPendleton\u2019s report. The staff guide caused a loss of three hours by\nputting the head of McLaws\u2019s column upon a wrong road. This compelled\nLongstreet to \u201chasten matters\u201d by assuming personal direction of the\nmovement, and pushing Hood\u2019s division rapidly to the front past McLaws.\n4. Pendleton\u2019s official utterances make it an \u201cestablished fact\u201d that\nGeneral Longstreet made his tremendous and successful attack on July\n2 at the earliest moment possible after receiving Lee\u2019s orders to\nadvance, under the conditions imposed by Lee,--viz., to be conducted to\nthe point of attack by Pendleton himself and the other staff-officers.\nThus the misapprehensions respecting Longstreet\u2019s great part at\nGettysburg were cleared away, and a better general understanding of\nwhat actually occurred was obtained from the Rev. Mr. Pendleton\u2019s\nreport of September 12, 1863. Few military students now hold that\nLongstreet was in the remotest degree culpable for Lee\u2019s defeat. On\nthe contrary, most of them severely criticise Lee\u2019s operations from\nstart to finish, particularly the hopeless assaults he persisted in\nmaking, and for the lack of concert. It is held generally now that the\ndreadful result fully justified Longstreet\u2019s protests against attacking\nthe Federals in that position, and that his suggestion of a turning\nmovement was far more promising of success.\nIn all the circumstances it is not only entirely improbable, but the\ndeveloped facts of the battle make it impossible that \u201cGeneral Lee died\nbelieving that he lost Gettysburg at last by Longstreet\u2019s disobedience\nof orders.\u201d Longstreet disobeyed no orders at Gettysburg, and Lee\nwas well aware of the fact. General Gordon has simply reiterated the\nclaque set up after Lee\u2019s death by his fond admirers to shift the\nresponsibility of defeat from his shoulders upon Longstreet. It was\nnecessary to the success of that folly to make the world believe Lee\nalways quietly held that view, and only imparted it in the strictest\nconfidence to close friends like the ex-army chaplain, Rev. J. William\nJones, and the Rev. William N. Pendleton.\nThe evidence is totally insufficient. Its gauzy character is fully\nexposed by the Pendleton report. But apocryphal after-war evidence of\nthis kind was the only reliance of the conspirators. It is absolutely\ncertain that there is no evidence of any such belief in any of Lee\u2019s\nofficial utterances during the progress of the war, nor a hint of it\nin his private correspondence then or afterwards, so far as has been\nproduced. The whole superstructure of the contention is based solely on\nthe statements since the war, and since Lee\u2019s death, of two or three\nobscure individuals. Pendleton\u2019s Lexington yarn is an example. They are\neasily exploded by the records of the battle; they are corroborated\nby none. All the battle worthy the name for the Southern cause at\nGettysburg on the 2d and 3d was made by Longstreet.\nAnother evidence of the falsehoods concerning Longstreet\u2019s disobedience\nand Lee\u2019s alleged belief is found in the relations of the two men.\nTheir personal friendship continued after Gettysburg as it was before.\nIt was of the closest and most cordial description. General Lee always\nmanifested the highest regard for General Longstreet, and continued to\nmanifest undiminished confidence in his military capacity, fighting\nqualities, and subordination. There is no manifestation of a withdrawal\nof that confidence after Gettysburg. I here cite a few illustrations of\ntheir relations after Gettysburg. Just after his corps was ordered to\nreinforce Bragg before Chattanooga, Longstreet wrote Lee from Richmond,\nwhere he had temporarily stopped on his journey to the new field:\n \u201cIf I did not think our move a necessary one, my regrets at\n leaving you would be distressing to me.... Our affections for you\n are stronger, if it is possible for them to be stronger, than our\n admiration for you.\u201d\n[Illustration: RETREAT FROM GETTYSBURG. ACCIDENT DURING THE\nNIGHT-CROSSING OF THE POTOMAC ON A PONTOON BRIDGE]\nAfter the battle of Chickamauga Lee wrote to Longstreet:\n \u201c... My whole heart and soul have been with you and your brave\n corps in your late battle.... Finish the work before you, my\n dear General, _and return to me. I want you badly, and you cannot\n get back too soon._\u201d\nThese letters, printed in the official records, were written less than\nninety days after the battle of Gettysburg.\n\u201cI want you badly\u201d does not indicate that Longstreet had ever failed\nGeneral Lee. They are significant words, so soon after the event\nwherein Longstreet, by mere obstinacy and obduracy, had defeated\nhis chief\u2019s plans, if we may believe Gordon, Pendleton, and Jones.\nAfter the forlorn campaign in East Tennessee against overwhelming\nnumbers, when General Longstreet was on his way back to the Army of\nNorthern Virginia with his troops to aid in repelling Grant, Lee\u2019s\nadjutant-general wrote him as follows at Gordonsville or Orange\nCourt-House:\n \u201cHEAD-QUARTERS ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA,\n \u201cMY DEAR GENERAL,--I have received your note of yesterday and\n have consulted the General about reviewing your command. He\n directs me to say that he has written to the President to know if\n he can visit and review the army this week, and until his reply\n is received, the General cannot say when he can visit you. He is\n anxious to see you, and it will give him much pleasure to meet\n you and your corps once more. He hopes soon to be able to do\n this, and I will give you due notice when he can come. I really\n am beside myself, General, with joy of having you back. It is\n like the reunion of a family.\n \u201cTruly and respectfully yours,\n \u201cTo GENERAL LONGSTREET.\u201d\nAfter the war was over and the Southern cause lost, there are warm\nletters from General Lee, written before Longstreet had accepted\nappointment at the hands of a Republican President. A few months after\nthe surrender General Lee wrote:\n[Illustration: Fac-simile of General Lee\u2019s Letter to General Longstreet]\n My dear Genl\n Upon my return from Richmond, where I have been for a week,\n on business connected with Washington College, I found your\n letter of the 26th ulto. I regret very much that you never\n recd my first letter, as you might then perhaps have given me\n the information I desired, with more ease to yourself, & with\n more expedition than now. I did not know how to address it,\n but sent it to a friend in Richmond, who gave it to one of our\n officers going south, who transferred it to another etc., & after\n travelling many weary miles, has been recently returned to me. I\n start it again in pursuit of you, though you did not tell me how\n to address you. I have almost forgotten what it contained, but I\n hope it will inform you of my purpose in writing a history of the\n campaigns in Viga, & of the object that I have in view so that\n you may give me all the information in your power. I shall be in\n no hurry in publishing, & will not do so, until I feel satisfied\n that I have got the true story, as my only object is to\n disseminate the truth. I am very sorry to hear that your records\n were destroyed too, but I hope Sorrel & Latrobe will be able to\n supply you with all you require. I wish to relate the acts of all\n the corps of the Army of N. Va. wherever they did duty, & do not\n wish to omit so important a one as yours. I will therefore wait\n as long as I can.\n I shall be very glad to receive anything you may give to Mr.\n Washington McLean, as I know you recommend no one but those who\n deserve your good opinion.\n I am delighted to hear that your arm is still improving & hope it\n will soon be restored. You are however becoming so accomplished\n with your left hand, as not to need it. You must remember me\n very kindly to Mrs. Longstreet & all your children. I have\n not had an opportunity yet to return the compliment she paid\n me. I had while in Richmond a great many inquiries after you, &\n learned that you intended commencing business in New Orleans. If\n you become as good a merchant as you were a soldier I shall be\n content. No one will then excel you, & no one can wish you more\n success & more happiness than I. My interest & affection for\n you will never cease, & my prayers are always offered for your\n prosperity--\n I am most truly yours\n\u201cIf you become as good a merchant as you were a soldier I shall be\ncontent. No one will then excel you, and no one can wish you more\nsuccess and more happiness than I. My interest and affection for\nyou will never cease, and my prayers are always offered for your\nprosperity.\u201d Strange words from the commander to the subordinate whose\ndisobedience at Gettysburg, according to Rev. Dr. Pendleton and others,\nled the way to Appomattox.\nWhile General Longstreet held General Lee to be a great strategist, he\nthought him to be less able as an offensive battle tactician. Those\nviews are shared by many other military officers, who have of late\ngiven free expression to them. The Gettysburg controversies, followed\nby such criticisms, led to the belief that Longstreet was the open\nenemy of Lee\u2019s fame, and lost no opportunity to maliciously decry his\nmilitary ability. But this is a mistake. General Longstreet\u2019s intimate\nfriends know that he has always born for General Lee the most profound\nlove and respect, both as a man and as a commander. His views of Lee\u2019s\nmilitary capacity are discriminating and just, and they are probably\ncorrect. Longstreet saw things military with a practical eye. A fine\nprofessional soldier himself, who had taken hard knocks on many great\nfields, he clearly discerned General Lee\u2019s incomparable attributes as\na commander, and was never loath to praise them. He also knew Lee\u2019s\nweaknesses, and has sometimes spoken of them, but never in malice or\ncontemptuously. Those who read his utterances in that sense are very\nnarrow indeed. He has never, like the mass of Southerners, looked upon\nLee as infallible, yet in one particular Longstreet has held him to be\none of the very greatest of commanders.\nAs an example of General Longstreet\u2019s estimate of Lee\u2019s professional\nplace in history, one of his interviews when on a visit to the Antietam\nbattle-field, published a few years ago, is quoted: \u201cGeneral Lee, as\na rule, did not underestimate his opponents or the fighting qualities\nof the Federal troops. But after Chancellorsville he came to have\nunlimited confidence in his own army, and undoubtedly exaggerated its\ncapacity to overcome obstacles, to march, to fight, to bear up under\ndeprivations and exhaustion. It was a dangerous confidence. I think\nevery officer who served under him will unhesitatingly agree with me on\nthis point.\u201d\nIn answer to a question as to which he regarded as Lee\u2019s best\nbattle: \u201cWell, perhaps the second battle of Manassas was, all things\nconsidered, the best tactical battle General Lee ever fought. The grand\nstrategy of the campaign was also fine, and seems to have completely\ndeceived General Pope. Indeed, Pope failed to comprehend Lee\u2019s purpose\nfrom start to finish. Pope was outgeneralled and outclassed by Lee,\nand through improper dispositions his fine army was out-fought. Still,\nit will not do to underrate Pope; he was an enterprising soldier and a\nfighter.\u201d\nGeneral Longstreet, in the interview at Antietam, summed up Lee\u2019s\ncharacteristics as a commander in the following succinct manner:\n\u201cGeneral Lee was a large-minded man, of great and profound learning in\nthe science of war. In all strategical movements he handled a great\narmy with comprehensive ability and signal success. His campaigns\nagainst McClellan and Pope fully illustrate his capacity. On the\ndefensive General Lee was absolutely perfect. Reconciled to the single\npurpose of defence, he was invincible. But of the art of war, more\nparticularly that of giving offensive battle, I do not think General\nLee was a master. In science and military learning he was greatly the\nsuperior of General Grant, or any other commander on either side.\nBut in the art of war I have no doubt that Grant and several other\nofficers were his equals. In the field his characteristic fault was\nheadlong combativeness. His impatience to strike, once in the presence\nof the enemy, whatever the disparity of forces or relative conditions,\nI consider the one weakness of General Lee\u2019s military character.\nThis trait of aggressiveness led him to take too many chances--into\ndangerous situations. At Gettysburg, all the vast interests at\nstake and the improbability of success would not deter him. In the\nimmediate presence of the enemy General Lee\u2019s mind, at all other times\ncalm and clear, became excited. The same may be said of most other\nhighly educated, theoretical soldiers. General Lee had the absolute\nconfidence of his own troops, and the most unquestioning support of his\nsubordinates. He was wholesomely feared by the Federal rank and file,\nwho undoubtedly considered him the easy superior of their own generals.\nThese were tremendous advantages.\u201d\nIt is very difficult to detect malice or hatred in these calm and\ndispassionate conclusions.\nIt is most probable that General Longstreet would have never written or\nuttered one word concerning Gettysburg had it not been for the attempt\nof wordy soldiers to specifically fix upon him the whole burden of that\nbattle, their rashness carrying them so far as to lead them to put\nfalse orders in the mouth of the great captain, and charge Longstreet\nwith having broken them. To disprove these untrue assertions, and\nto give the world the truth concerning the battle, then became what\nGeneral Longstreet considered an imperative duty. He has always\nregretted deeply that this discussion was not opened before the death\nof General Lee. If the charges so vehemently urged had been preferred\nor even suggested in Lee\u2019s lifetime, Longstreet does not believe they\nwould have needed any reply from him. General Lee would have answered\nthem himself and set history right.\nBut after all, Longstreet does not fear the verdict of history on\nGettysburg. He holds that time sets all things right. Error lives but a\nday--truth is eternal.\nCHAPTER VIII\nGENERAL LONGSTREET\u2019S AMERICANISM\n \u201cThe strongest laws are those established by the sword. The ideas\n that divided political parties before the war--upon the rights of\n the States--were thoroughly discussed by our wisest statesmen,\n and eventually appealed to the arbitrament of the sword. The\n decision was in favor of the North, so that her construction\n becomes the law, and should be so accepted.\u201d--GENERAL LONGSTREET\n in \u201cFrom Manassas to Appomattox.\u201d\nIt seems advisable here to introduce General Longstreet\u2019s personal\nversion of the animus of the after-the-war criticism of his operations\non the field of Gettysburg, taken from his war history, \u201cFrom Manassas\nto Appomattox:\u201d\n\u201cAs the whole animus of the latter-day adverse criticisms upon, and\nuncritical assertions in regard to, the commander of the First Corps\nof the Army of Northern Virginia had its origin in this matter of\npolitics, a brief review of the circumstances is in order.\n\u201cAs will be readily recalled by my older readers (while for the\nyounger it is a matter of history), President Johnson, after the war,\nadopted a reconstruction policy of his own, and some of the States\nwere reorganized under it with Democratic governors and legislatures,\nand all would have followed. But Congress, being largely Republican,\nwas not satisfied, and enacted that the States could not be accepted\nunless they provided in their new constitutions for _negro suffrage_.\nIn case they would not, the State governments should be removed and the\nStates placed in the hands of general officers of the army as military\ngovernors, who should see that the States were reorganized and\nrestored to the Union under the laws.\n\u201cUnder the severe ordeal one of the city papers of New Orleans called\nupon the generals of Confederate service to advise the people of the\ncourse that they should pursue,--naming the officers. I thought it\nbetter policy to hold the States, as they were organized, under the\nPresident\u2019s policy, shape their constitutions as directed by Congress,\nand have the States not yet reorganized follow the same course. My\nletter upon the subject was as follows:\n \u201c\u2018J. M. G. PARKER, ESQ.:\n \u201c\u2018DEAR SIR,--Your esteemed favor of the 15th ultimo was duly\n received.\n \u201c\u2018I was much pleased to have the opportunity to hear Senator\n Wilson, and was agreeably surprised to meet such fairness and\n frankness from a politician whom I had been taught to believe\n harsh in his feelings towards the people of the South.\n \u201c\u2018I have considered your suggestion to wisely unite in efforts\n to restore Louisiana to her former position in the Union,\n \u201cthrough the party now in power.\u201d My letter of the 6th of April,\n to which you refer, clearly indicates a desire for practical\n reconstruction and reconciliation. There is only one route left\n open, which practical men cannot fail to see.\n \u201c\u2018The serious difficulty arises from want of that wisdom so\n important for the great work in hand. Still, I will be happy\n to work in any harness that promises relief to our discomfited\n people and harmony to the nation, whether bearing the mantle of\n Mr. Davis or Mr. Sumner.\n \u201c\u2018It is fair to assume that the strongest laws are those\n established by the sword. The ideas that divided political\n parties before the war--upon the rights of the States--were\n thoroughly discussed by our wisest statesmen, and eventually\n appealed to the arbitrament of the sword. The decision was in\n favor of the North, so that her construction becomes the law, and\n should be so accepted.\n \u201c\u2018The military bill and amendments are the only peace-offerings\n they have for us, and should be accepted as the starting-point\n for future issues.\n \u201c\u2018Like others of the South not previously connected with\n politics, I naturally acquiesced in the ways of Democracy, but,\n so far as I can judge, there is nothing tangible in them, beyond\n the issues that were put to test in the war and there lost. As\n there is nothing left to take hold of except prejudice, which\n cannot be worked for good for any one, it seems proper and right\n that we should seek some standing which may encourage hope for\n the future.\n \u201c\u2018If I appreciate the issues of Democracy at this moment, they\n are the enfranchisement of the negro and the rights of Congress\n in the premises, but the acts have been passed, are parts of the\n laws of the land, and no power but Congress can remove them.\n \u201c\u2018Besides, if we now accept the doctrine that the States only can\n legislate on suffrage, we will fix the negro vote upon us, for he\n is now a suffragan, and his vote, with the vote that will go with\n him, will hold to his rights, while, by recognizing the acts of\n Congress, we may, after a fair trial, if negro suffrage proves\n a mistake, appeal and have Congress correct the error. It will\n accord better with wise policy to insist that the negro shall\n vote in the Northern as well as the Southern States.\n \u201c\u2018If every one will meet the crisis with proper appreciation\n of our condition and obligations, the sun will rise to-morrow\n on a happy people. Our fields will again begin to yield their\n increase, our railways and water will teem with abundant\n commerce, our towns and cities will resound with the tumult of\n trade, and we will be reinvigorated by the blessings of Almighty\n God.\n \u201c\u2018Very respectfully yours,\n \u201c\u2018JAMES LONGSTREET.\u2019\n\u201cI might have added that not less forceful than the grounds I gave\nwere the obligations under which we were placed by the terms of our\nparoles,--\u2018To respect the laws of Congress,\u2019--but the letter was enough.\n\u201cThe afternoon of the day upon which my letter was published the\npaper that had called for advice published a column of editorial\ncalling me traitor! deserter of my friends! and accusing me of joining\nthe enemy! but did not publish a line of the letter upon which it\nbased the charges! Other papers of the Democracy took up the garbled\nrepresentation of this journal and spread it broadcast, not even giving\nthe letter upon which they based their evil attacks upon me.\n\u201cUp to that time the First Corps, in all of its parts, in all of its\nhistory, was above reproach. I was in successful business in New\nOrleans as cotton factor, with a salary from an insurance company of\nfive thousand dollars per year.\n\u201cThe day after the announcement old comrades passed me on the streets\nwithout speaking. Business began to grow dull. General Hood (the only\none of my old comrades who occasionally visited me) thought that he\ncould save the insurance business, and in a few weeks I found myself at\nleisure.\n\u201cTwo years after that period, on March 4, 1869, General Grant was\ninaugurated President of the United States, and in the bigness of his\ngenerous heart called me to Washington. Before I found opportunity to\nsee him he sent my name to the Senate for confirmation as surveyor of\ncustoms at New Orleans. I was duly confirmed, and held the office until\n1873, when I resigned. Since that time I have lived in New Orleans,\nLouisiana, and in Gainesville, Georgia, surrounded by a few of my old\nfriends, and in occasional appreciative touch with others, South and\nNorth.\u201d\nCHAPTER IX\nFINALE\n Mr. Valiant summoned. His will. His last words.\n Then, said he, \u201cI am going to my Father\u2019s.... My sword I give to\n him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and\n skill to him that can get it.\u201d ... And as he went down deeper, he\n said, \u201cGrave, where is thy victory?\u201d\n So he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him on the\n other side.--BUNYAN\u2019S \u201cPilgrim\u2019s Progress.\u201d\nThe personal letters and official reports of Robert E. Lee, reproduced\nin this work, clearly established that from Gettysburg to Appomattox\nLongstreet continued to be Lee\u2019s most trusted Lieutenant; their mutual\naffection and admiration had no diminution.\nThe official reports of Lee and Pendleton herein given make it clear as\nnoonday that Longstreet disobeyed no orders of his chief at Gettysburg,\nand was at no time \u201cslow\u201d or \u201cobstructive\u201d on that great field.\nThe man who, under the weight of official evidence massed in this\nlittle story, can still raise his voice to assert that \u201cLongstreet was\nslow and balky\u201d at Gettysburg, takes direct issue with the official\nreports of Robert E. Lee and the Rev. Mr. Pendleton, and his becomes a\nquarrel with the war records.\nLongstreet had unhesitatingly thrown up his commission in the old\narmy and joined the Southern cause at the very outset. He was a\nchief participant in the first and last great scenes of the drama in\nVirginia. He had copiously shed his blood for the South. The sum of\nGeneral Longstreet\u2019s offending was,--\n1. When the war was over he placed himself on the high plane of\nAmerican citizenship, where all patriots now stand. He accepted office\nat the hands of a Republican President (pardonable offence in this good\nday); these were crimes which the temper of the South could not condone\nsome forty years ago.\n2. He had protested against wrecking the Confederate cause on the\nrocks of Cemetery Hill. In sheer self-defence he was compelled to\nrecapitulate in plainest terms General Lee\u2019s tactical mistakes and\ntheir fatal consequences. To many that was a crime never to be\nforgiven. Yet at the time and on the spot General Lee was morally brave\nenough to place the blame where it belonged,--on his own shoulders. Lee\nnever sought a scape-goat for the mistakes of Gettysburg.\nThis is the story, short enough for the busy; clear and straight enough\nfor the young. It is the story of sentiment as well as reverence and\nadmiration, growing up from childhood, of him who led the forlorn hope\nat Gettysburg.\nBut behind the sentiment is the unassailable truth. It is undeniably\nthe story of the records, of the events exactly as they occurred. It\nis fully corroborated by all the probabilities; in no part disputed by\none. It is the story told by General Longstreet himself, and nobody\nfamiliar with his open character and candid manner of discussing its\nvarious phases can doubt for one instant that he tells the details of\nGettysburg exactly as they occurred, in so far as his personal part was\nconcerned.\n[Illustration: GENERAL LONGSTREET IN 1901]\nOf him I would say, as his sun slants towards the west and the evening\nhours draw near, that his unmatched courage to meet the enemies of the\npeace time outshines the valor of the fields whereon his blood was\nshed so copiously in the cause of his country. I would tell him that\nhis detractors are not the South; they are not the Democratic party;\nthey represent nobody and nothing but the blindness of passion that\ndesires not light. I would tell him that the great, loyal South loves\nhim to-day as in the old days when he sacrificed on her altars a career\nin the army of the nation; when the thunder of his guns was heard\naround the world and the earth shook beneath the tread of his soldiers.\nAnd as he journeys down to the Valley of Silence, the true sentiment of\nthe generous South that he loves so well is voiced by Hon. John Temple\nGraves, in the Atlanta, Georgia, _News_:\n \u201cAs there walks \u2018thoughtful on the silent, solemn shore of that\n vast ocean he must sail so soon,\u2019 one of the last of the great\n figures that moved colossal upon the tragic stage of the Civil\n War,--Longstreet, the grim and tenacious, the bulldog of war\n whose grip never relaxed, whose guns never ceased to thunder,--as\n the eye grows dim that blazed like lightning over so many stormy\n fields, let the noble woman who bears his name read to her heroic\n soldier the message that the South of the present, the not\n ignoble offspring of the past, compasses the couch of Longstreet\n with love, and covers his fading years with unfading admiration\n and unforgetting tenderness.\u201d\n WASHINGTON, D. C., December, 1903.\nLONGSTREET THE MAN\nHIS BOYHOOD DAYS\nThe original plan of this little work was to publish only the short\nstory of Gettysburg which was written while General Longstreet lived.\nMy friends have insisted that the generous public, although it has\nreceived the prospectus of the work with such warm appreciation, will\nbe disappointed if I discuss only the one event of his most eventful\nlife. And so have been added the paper on the Mexican War and chapters\non his famous campaigns of the Civil War.\nThey have insisted further that I must speak of Longstreet the man.\nI have replied that I could not. My heart is sore. I cannot forget\nthat he poured out his heroic blood in defence of the Southern people,\nand when there was not a flag left for him to fight for many of them\nturned against him and persecuted him with a bitterness that saddened\nhis last years. They undertook to rob him of the glories of his many\npeerless campaigns; to convict him of treason to his cause on the field\nof battle. And when he lay dead, forty years after his world-famous\nvictories, perhaps from an opening of the old wound received at the\nWilderness, a Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy of the State\nbeneath whose sod rests his valiant dust, refused to send flowers to\nhis grave, because, they said, he disobeyed orders at Gettysburg. And\na Southern Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans refused, for the\nsame alleged reason, to send a message of sympathy to his family. If I\nshould now undertake to write about him I might speak of such things as\nthese with bitterness; and I must not so speak, because I am a Southern\nwoman, and the Southern people--my people--must forever be to me as\nthey were to him, \u201cdear as the ruddy drops about his heart.\u201d\nI must not write about him until I can write bravely, sweetly,\ncheerfully, and in this hour it is, perhaps, more than my human nature\ncan do. And I cannot take the public into my confidence about the man\nI loved. The subject is too sacred. But my friends demand at least one\npage on the man as I knew him, that the South at last--the dear South\nthat I love with all my heart--may know him and love him as I did.\nAnd so I undertake to string together disjointedly a few incidents\nof a life that was lived upon high levels, brave and blameless, and\nthat the days give back to me a glorified memory, coupled with a great\nthankfulness that I had a small part in it.\nFrom my childhood he had been the fine embodiment of my ideals of\nchivalry and courage. The sorrows of his later years aroused all the\ntender pity of my heart. His wounds and sufferings enveloped him with\npoetic interest. He was fighting the battles of my country before I was\nborn. The blood of my ancestors had dyed the brilliant fields whereon\nhe led. He was ever the hero of my young dreams; and throughout a long\nand checkered career always to me a figure of matchless splendor and\ngallantry.\nHis life was set to serious work. His father died before he was old\nenough to understand the meaning of a father\u2019s care. He had but little\nschooling before he went to West Point as cadet of the Military\nAcademy. From West Point he went into service in the Mexican War,\nand was in every battle, save one, of the war that gave to us an\nempire in wealth and territory; winning promotions for gallantry on\nthe field. After the Mexican War he saw long service on the Western\nfrontier. He entered the Civil War of 1861-65, and the greatest\nConfederate victories of that greatest war of civilized times are\ninscribed upon his battle-flags. The glories of Manassas, Williamsburg,\nFredericksburg, Chickamauga, the East Tennessee campaigns, the\nWilderness, the campaigns about Richmond, and the last desperate\nstruggles on the way to Appomattox, gather about his name.\nAfter the Civil War came the most trying period of his life,--the dark\ndays of reconstruction, the fierce dissensions between the sections,\nand between those holding different views in the same section, the\nhot feeling and prejudices of the time, the struggle to repair the\nruined fortunes of war. When he was finally gathered to his fathers,\nat the ripe old age of eighty-three, he was still in harness, holding\nthe position under the government of United States Commissioner of\nRailroads.\nThis busy, exciting, and strenuous life was calculated to develop\nin him the qualities of the soldier, the man of affairs, the blood\nand iron of nature rather than her gentler qualities. Nevertheless,\nhis heart was as tender as a woman\u2019s, the sentiment and romance of\nhis being never ceased to be exerted, and he exhibited to the last a\ntenderness of feeling and thoughtfulness regarding others which were in\nsingular and beautiful contrast to the main currents of his life. This,\nI think, will appear without any special effort to show it as this\nsketch goes on.\nGeneral Longstreet was born in Edgefield District, South Carolina,\nJanuary 8, 1821. His early years were spent in the country. His father\nwas a planter. Natural to him was all the vigor and fire of that heroic\nsection, and still there was in him a coolness, conservatism, and iron\nwill tempered by justice and fair judgment embracing the best of his\nDutch ancestry. His ancestors on this side of the water were chiefly\nthe Dents, Marshalls, and Randolphs, of Virginia. On the maternal side,\nhis grandfather, Marshall Dent, traced his line back to the Conqueror.\nHis mother was Mary Ann Dent, of the family that furnished the lady who\nbecame famous as the wife of the soldier-President, Grant. His father\nwas James Longstreet. His grandfather on his father\u2019s side was William\nLongstreet.\nIt is interesting here to note that this William Longstreet was the\ninventor of the steamboat. He discovered the principle in a series of\nexperiments about the kitchen and the mills, and after much care and\ntrouble he was able to apply the principle. He made a rather pudgy\nsteamboat, rigged it up with all necessary equipment, and successfully\nran it for some miles up and down the Savannah River. He did not have\nthe means to develop it to such extent as to demonstrate to the world\nits possibilities. Fully appreciating the importance of the invention,\nhe appealed to Governor Telfair, the then governor of Georgia, for\naid. Very naturally, the aid was refused him, for that was a day of\nscepticism regarding new-fangled things. He was made sport of by the\npeople around, and called \u201cBilly Boy,\u201d the dreamer, and made the\nsubject of doggerel poetry. As an authentic part of the story, I give\nhere the letter which he wrote to Governor Telfair, which is still\npreserved in the State archives of Georgia:\n \u201cAUGUSTA, GEORGIA, September 26, 1790.\n \u201cSIR,--I make no doubt but you have often heard of my steamboat,\n and as often heard it laughed at, but in this I have only shared\n the fate of other projectors, for it has uniformly been the\n custom of every country to ridicule the greatest inventions until\n they had proved their utility. In not reducing my scheme to\n active use it has been unfortunate for me, I confess, and perhaps\n the people in general; but, until very lately, I did not think\n that artists or material could be had in the place sufficient.\n However, necessity, that grand mother of invention, has furnished\n me with an idea of perfecting my plan almost entirely of wooden\n material, and by such workmen as may be had here; and, from a\n thorough confidence of its success, I have presumed to ask your\n assistance and patronage. Should it succeed agreeably to my\n expectations, I hope I shall discover that sense of duty which\n such favors always merit; and should it not succeed, your reward\n must lay with other unlucky adventures.\n \u201cFor me to mention all of the advantages arising from such\n a machine would be tedious, and, indeed, quite unnecessary.\n Therefore I have taken the liberty to state, in this plain and\n humble manner, my wish and opinion, which I hope you will excuse,\n and I shall remain, either with or without your approbation,\n \u201cYour Excellency\u2019s most obedient and humble servant,\n \u201cWM. LONGSTREET.\n \u201cGOVERNOR TELFAIR.\u201d\nSome time afterwards Robert Fulton took up and developed the idea.\nAt first he, too, was laughed at and discredited fully as much as\nwas William Longstreet; but he finally succeeded in enlisting the\npatronage of Gouverneur Morris, a rich New Yorker, and the success of\nthe steamboat, with all its tremendous meaning to civilization, was the\nresult.\nHis father having died when he was but twelve years old, General\nLongstreet\u2019s mother moved shortly afterwards to Augusta, Georgia,\nwhere she resided a few years, after which she moved to Alabama. The\neducation of young Longstreet was then intrusted to his uncle, Judge A.\nB. Longstreet, for many years president of Emory College, at Oxford,\nGeorgia, and one of the most illustrious presidents of that famous\nold college. Judge Longstreet was noted as lawyer, judge, educator,\nand writer. He is a very poorly read Georgian, a rather poorly read\nSoutherner, who has not enjoyed and talked to his friends about that\nbook of wonderful naturalness, humor, and human philosophy, \u201cGeorgia\nScenes.\u201d The author of this book was Judge A. B. Longstreet. In later\nyears its authorship has been often erroneously credited to General\nLongstreet.\nEntirely immersed in his college duties, Judge Longstreet had but\nlittle time to give to his youthful nephew. Of those early days, it is\nonly known that the boy was not much of a student; that the massive old\noaks of Oxford appealed to him more than the school-room; that fishing\nin the streams around and chasing rabbits over the fields formed his\ndearest enjoyment. In his habits and feeling he was then and always\nnear to nature. The flash of the lightning in mid-heaven interested him\nmore than the Voltaic sparks of the lecture-room. He was mischievous,\nfull of fun and frolic, but beneath all that he was almost from\nbabyhood planning for a larger career in the outside world and longing\nto be a soldier and fight his country\u2019s battles. The books that he\nloved most told of Alexander and C\u00e6sar, of Napoleon and his marshals,\nof George Washington and the Revolution. He wanted to do things, not to\nstudy about them.\nHe received his West Point appointment through a relative in Alabama,\nwho was a member of Congress. The appointment came naturally from\nAlabama, because his mother was living there. He went to West Point at\nthe age of sixteen. This was one of the proudest days of his life; it\nwas the beginning of the fulfilment of his dreams; he had not an idea\nthat any human agency could turn him from the soldier course in which\nhe was directed, or could delay him for an instant. And yet, while\nhe was in New York City arranging for the change from the cars to the\nHudson River boat, he was approached by two little boys of guileless\nappearance, who told him that their father had recently died away down\nin South Carolina, that they had no money, that their mother had no\nmoney, that they just must get to their dead father, and wouldn\u2019t he\nhelp them out. With a tenderness of heart characteristic of him then\nand always, he was about to open to them his purse and take the chances\nof never reaching West Point, when a policeman who had observed the\nperformance approached and prevented the innocent embryo soldier from\nbeing fleeced by the youthful bunco steerers of the city.\nArriving at West Point, he proudly went to the hotel to register and\ntake a room, and was much chagrined upon being told by the proprietor\nthat they didn\u2019t \u201ctake in kids.\u201d He was directed to the cadets\u2019\nquarters, and his first humiliation there was the further discovery\nthat instead of being waited on as a dignified soldier should be by\nhalf a dozen servants, he had to keep his own room, make his own bed,\nblack his own boots.\nHis thoughts of war had been associated with fierce fighting, the\nkilling of many enemies, the capturing of many prisoners. His\npreconceived idea of a prisoner was gained while a small boy in\nAlabama. He had heard that a prisoner was down at the station, and\nran there full of expectancy to see what a \u201cprisoner\u201d was like. He\ndiscovered a big buck negro, black as midnight, large as two ordinary\nmen, with countenance ferocious. His first West Point assignment which\ngave promise of the heroic was to guard a \u201cprisoner.\u201d He was given\na gun for the purpose. The figure of the Alabama darky came to his\nmind, and he wondered if the gun were big enough to kill him in case\nthat should be necessary. Examining it, he discovered, alas! that\nit was not even loaded. Sent to guard a terrible prisoner with an\nunloaded gun! When he got to the place of service he was relieved,\nsurprised, and equally disgusted by the discovery that the prisoner\nwas a fellow-student who had broken the rules--a poor little weakly,\ncadaverous fellow, whom he could pick up and throw into the Hudson\nwithout half trying.\nAs a West Point cadet, so far as the drilling, the field practice,\nthe athletics, all the out-door work was concerned, he sustained\nhimself well. He was very large, very strong, well proportioned. He\nhad dark-brown hair, blue eyes, features that might have served for a\nGrecian model. He was six feet two inches tall, of soldierly bearing,\nand was voted the handsomest cadet at West Point. As a student of\nbooks, however, he was not a success. They seemed to contain so much\nthat did not properly belong to the life of a soldier that he could not\nbecome interested enough in them to learn them. In his third year he\nfailed in mechanics, and did not \u201crise\u201d until given a second trial. In\nscholarship, he always ranked much closer to the foot than to the head\nof his class. He was just a little better student than his friend, U.\nS. Grant, which was poor praise, indeed. But their after careers told a\ndifferent story.\nLIFE-LONG FRIENDSHIP OF GRANT AND LONGSTREET\nI may be pardoned for digressing here to speak of the strong school-boy\nfriendship which began at West Point between Grant and Longstreet and\nlasted throughout their lives. Grant was of the class after Longstreet,\nbut somehow their silent serious natures were in spontaneous accord,\nand they became fast friends from their first meeting. That one was\nfrom the West and one from the South made no difference, just as later\nit made no difference in their feeling of personal affection that one\nled the army of the Union and the other the army of the Confederacy.\nAfter their graduation at West Point they were both stationed at\nJefferson Barracks near St. Louis. The Dent family lived near by;\nLongstreet was a cousin. And he was particularly fond of his cousin\nJulia Dent! He took his friend Grant out to see her, and the result of\nthe introduction was their marriage five years later. There was such a\ncontrast between her tall cousin James and her short admirer, Ulysses,\nthat her friends often joked her about \u201cthe little lieutenant with the\nbig epaulettes.\u201d\nGrant and Longstreet went through the Mexican War together, and their\nboyhood friendship was indissolubly cemented by the associations of\ncamp life on the Mexican border. Longstreet went in as a lieutenant\nand came out as a major. General Worth apologized, giving Longstreet\u2019s\nyouth as an excuse for not recommending him for higher promotion.\nPromotions in the army in those days were not so rapid as at the\npresent time.\nThe first meeting of Grant and Longstreet during the Civil War was not\na personal meeting; it was when they were leading opposing forces at\nthe battle of the Wilderness. It is known to all students of our Civil\nWar history that the Confederate forces led by Longstreet were getting\nall the better of it at the Wilderness and that the Union forces under\nGrant were being driven back, when Longstreet was shot down and carried\nfrom the field. He was _leading_ his men, after his custom,--he never\nfollowed, never told them to go, but always bade them come. He was at\nthis crucial point at the battle of the Wilderness far in advance of\nhis men--so far in advance that they mistook him for the enemy and\nfired upon him. Shot through the shoulder and the throat, wounded nigh\nunto death, he was taken from the field. With this calamity discovered,\nthe Confederates held up in their swift advance. The impression rapidly\nspread that Longstreet was killed. The surgeons and attendants who\nwere bearing him to the rear called out to the soldiers and asked that\nthe cry be sent down the lines: \u201cLongstreet is not killed, he is only\nwounded.\u201d The men who had seen him fall cried out, \u201cThey are fooling\nus; he is dead.\u201d General Longstreet has said that he heard both cries;\nhe knew he was not dead, but did not know how soon he might be; he had\njust strength enough left to lift his hat. For this purpose he exerted\nthat strength, and waved his hat to his men that they might see that he\nstill lived. But the genius of the battle of the Wilderness borne to\nthe rear, even the ever dauntless Confederates could not follow up the\nadvantage they had won.\nThe next meeting of these two personal friends and opposing generals\nwas at Appomattox. In the beginning of that momentous conference\nGeneral Lee called General Longstreet to him and asked him, in case\nhonorable terms of surrender should not be offered, and in the ensuing\ndevelopments it should be necessary for the Confederates to fight their\nway out, if he would stand by him. Longstreet replied that he would\nfight and die fighting.\nGeneral Longstreet often spoke of the details of the capitulation at\nAppomattox. He said that when he went into the conference-room, in\nthe McLean residence, as one of the Confederate Commissioners, he was\ncompelled to pass through the room occupied by General Grant as his\nhead-quarters. He felt curious to know how General Grant would receive\nhim. He had loved Grant as one of his closest boyhood friends, but\ntimes were much changed. Grant was victor, he was vanquished. He was\ntherefore prepared to observe the rigid demeanor of those between whom\nceremony only forces recognition. But immediately he entered the room\nGrant rose, approached him with a greater show of demonstration than\never in the olden days, and slapped him on the shoulder, exclaiming,\n\u201cWell, Old Pete, can\u2019t we get back to the good old days by playing a\ngame of brag?\u201d At West Point the nickname among the boys for General\nLongstreet was \u201cOld Pete.\u201d No one ever knew why, any more than they\nknow why this or that college president is designated Peleg or Squeers.\nIt has often been related by General Longstreet and by others that\nGeneral Lee went into the Appomattox conference dressed in full\nuniform, and making withal the best appearance that this most noble\nsoldier in his dire defeat could make. General Grant, on the contrary,\nhad not dressed up for the occasion. He wore his old fighting uniform,\nmud bespattered, evidencing no acquaintance even with a dusting-brush.\nThe important part of that meeting, the splendid bearing of the\nconquered Confederates, the modest demeanor of the Union victors,\nand, above all, the noble generosity of Grant in refusing to accept\nthe sword of Lee and in giving the fairest terms possible under the\nexisting conditions,--these are known to all who have read United\nStates history. When General Lee rode back to his head-quarters\nfrom this fateful conference, his half-starved, ragged, worn-out,\nworshipful followers saluted him from both sides of the road. Overcome\nwith emotion, he dared not look directly into their faces. He held\nhis hat in his hand and fixed his eyes straight between his horse\u2019s\nears. The parting at Appomattox between Lee and his officers was\nmost kindly, affectionate, and touching in every instance. But when\nGeneral Longstreet approached, General Lee threw his arms about him,\nand, locked in each other\u2019s embrace, the two wept with a bitterness of\nregret that ordinary mortals can never understand.\nSoon after the war General Longstreet visited Washington and was\ninvited to be the guest of a Union officer. He protested against\naccepting the invitation, saying that it was too soon after the\nfighting. But the insistence was so cordial as to leave no excuse for\nrefusal. Once under an officer\u2019s roof, it became his pleasant duty\nto pay his respects to the commanding general, who was, of course,\nGeneral Grant. Grant received him with all his old-time cordiality, and\ninvited him to take supper at his house that evening, saying quickly,\nas enforcement of the invitation, that his wife would be anxious to\nsee him. The evening was pleasantly spent, and upon taking his leave,\nGeneral Grant walked to the gate with General Longstreet, where he\nsaid, \u201cNow that it is all over, would you not like to have pardon?\u201d\nGeneral Longstreet replied, with a touch of Southern fire, that he\nwas unaware of having done anything in need of pardon. General Grant\nreplied that he had perhaps used the wrong word, as he was more of a\nsoldier than a linguist; that he meant to ask if General Longstreet\nwould like to have amnesty. General Longstreet answered that he was\nback in the Union, meant to live in the Union, was ready at that\nmoment to fight for the Union, and would be happy if his old friend\ncould place him in the way of restored citizenship. General Grant\nrequested him to come again to his office the following morning, and\nsaid that in the mean time he would see the President and Secretary\nof War in General Longstreet\u2019s behalf. In the morning he gave General\nLongstreet a letter to President Johnson full of warm interest and\nbroad-mindedness characteristic of Grant, which is here reproduced:\n \u201cHEAD-QUARTERS ARMIES OF THE UNITED STATES,\n WASHINGTON, D. C., November 7, 1865.\n \u201cHIS EXCELLENCY, A. JOHNSON,\n \u201cPresident:\n \u201cKnowing that General Longstreet, late of the army which was in\n rebellion against the authority of the United States, is in the\n city, and presuming that he intends asking executive clemency\n before leaving, I beg to say a word in his favor.\n \u201cGeneral Longstreet comes under the third, fifth, and eighth\n exceptions made in your proclamation of the 29th of May, 1865.\n I believe I can safely say that there is nowhere among the\n exceptions a more honorable class of men than those embraced\n in the fifth and eighth of these, nor a class that will more\n faithfully observe any obligation which they may impose upon\n themselves. General Longstreet, in my opinion, stands high among\n this class. I have known him well for more than twenty-six years,\n first as cadet at West Point and afterwards as an officer of\n the army. For five years from my graduation we served together,\n a portion of the time in the same regiment. I speak of him,\n therefore, from actual personal acquaintance.\n \u201cIn the late rebellion, I think, not one single charge was ever\n brought against General Longstreet for persecution of prisoners\n of war or of persons for their political opinions. If such\n charges were ever made, I never heard them. I have no hesitation,\n therefore, in recommending General Longstreet to your Excellency\n for pardon. I will further state that my opinion of him is such\n that I shall feel it as a personal favor to myself if this pardon\n is granted.\n \u201cVery respectfully, your obedient servant,\n \u201c_Lieutenant-General_.\u201d\nArmed with this letter, General Longstreet sought President Johnson.\nIn the interview that followed the presentation of the letter the\nPresident was nervous, ill at ease, and somewhat resentful. He would\nnot decide to grant the request, and he would not positively refuse.\nFinally, he asked General Longstreet to call again the following\nmorning. At this next meeting he was still non-committal, and at\nlength closed the interview by saying, \u201cThere are three men this\nUnion will never forgive. They have given it too much trouble.\nThey are Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and James Longstreet.\u201d\nGeneral Longstreet said, \u201cThose who are forgiven much, love much,\nMr. President.\u201d Johnson answered, \u201cYou have high authority for that\nstatement, General, but you cannot have amnesty.\u201d It was shortly\nafterwards granted by act of Congress, General Longstreet\u2019s name being\nadded to a list of prominent Confederate officers by the especial\nrequest of Grant.\nThese incidents in the associations of Grant and Longstreet come in\nnaturally in a paper of this kind. I always think of them together,--as\nchums at West Point; as comrades in the West and on the fields\nof Mexico; as opposing forces in the mightiest war the world has\nwitnessed; and after that war was ended, as good friends again in the\nstronger nation.\nPresident Johnson, who had started out with the plan of being generous\nto the South, and for some unknown reason departed from that policy,\nconceived the idea of having arrested and thrown into prison and tried\nfor treason a number of the high officers of the Confederacy. He called\nfor a Cabinet meeting to get an endorsement of this plan, and sent for\nGeneral Grant to attend the meeting. He forcibly presented his reasons\nfor the procedure, and asked for the opinions of those present. After\nmuch discussion there was general acquiescence by the Cabinet. \u201cThe\nsilent man of destiny\u201d was the last member of the conference to open\nhis lips. He said, \u201cI will resign my commission in the army before I\nwill, as commanding general, sign a warrant for the arrest of any of\nthese Confederate officers as long as they observe the honorable terms\nof surrender made to me.\u201d\nIt would be easy to write a book about a statement like that, but the\nbook when written would not be as good as the unadorned statement.\nThe illustrious Union general\u2019s noble generosity to the conquered South\nis an old tale. But it is so beautiful that it bears repetition, and I\nlove to repeat it. I have digressed from the main line of this paper\nto pay to General Longstreet\u2019s boyhood friend the modest tribute of my\nadmiration. From early childhood I reverenced Grant. I always regarded\nhim as the greatest man, the greatest general, the greatest hero on\nthe Union side. I have now a life-size steel-engraving of him that I\nsecured when a girl. This was long before I knew much of that side of\nhis life which has since most appealed to me. My admiration of him\nhas been in every way strengthened by the stories General Longstreet\ntold me of him, particularly the stories showing his generosity to his\nfoes and his many private and official kindnesses to the widows and\norphans of Confederate officers and privates. Of these stories I give\none typical of many: When Grant was President, a widow of a Confederate\nofficer applied for a post-office in a small Southern town. Hearing\nnothing of her application, she came to Washington to press it. She was\nunable to move the authorities at the Post-Office Department, and was\nabout to go home in despair, when a friend suggested that it might be\nworth while for her to see the President. With much effort she summoned\ncourage and appeared at the White House. The President received her\nin a most friendly manner, and after hearing her story took her\napplication and wrote a brief but strong endorsement on the back of\nit. She hurried in triumph to the Post-Office Department. The official\nto whom she presented the application frowned and pondered over it\nfor some time, and then wrote under the President\u2019s endorsement:\n\u201cThis being a fourth-class office, the President does not have the\nappointing power.\u201d The application was handed back to her, and she\nwent away in deep distress, and was again preparing to return home,\nwhen another friend told her by all means to take the paper back to the\nPresident so that he might see how his endorsement had been received.\nShe did so. The President wrote under the last endorsement: \u201cWhile the\nPresident does not have the appointing power in this office, he has the\nappointment of the Postmaster-General,\u201d and, summoning his secretary,\ndirected him to accompany the lady to the Department and in person\ndeliver her application to the Postmaster-General. It is needless to\nadd that she received the commission before leaving the office.\nWhile on a tour through the West in 1899, General Longstreet was\nentertained in San Diego, California, at a dinner at the home of U.\nS. Grant, Jr. After dinner he requested the company to stand while he\nproposed a toast. We expected, perhaps, some pleasantry or gallant\ncompliment to the hostess. He said: \u201cThirty-odd years ago I first met\nGeneral Grant in the Civil War at the Wilderness, and there received\nthe wound that paralyzed my right arm. During the fiercest warfare this\nnation has seen, General Grant was the strongest obstacle that stood\nbetween me and my people and the consummation of the dearest hopes that\nthey then cherished. Now, in this day of peace and union, with not a\ncloud upon the sky of a reunited country, in the presence of General\nGrant\u2019s descendants, under the roof of his namesake son, I want to\ndrink this toast to the memory of Grant, revered alike by the brave men\nwho fought with him and the equally brave men who fought him.\u201d\nHIS FIRST ROMANCE\nFifty years before the pleasant day in San Diego, fresh from the fields\nof his honors and victories in Mexico, young Major Longstreet had come\nhome to wed the daughter of his old brigade commander, Colonel John\nGarland. She was Marie Louise Garland, a very charming woman, and so\nsmall of figure as to be in striking contrast to her husband of six\nfeet two. They were engaged for some time before the breaking out of\nthe Mexican War. With a lofty deference, which he bravely overcame in\nlater life, he had never kissed his fianc\u00e9e. In setting out for the\nMexican War, he said that he thought, inasmuch as he might get killed\nand never see her again, it might not be improper, under all the sad\ncircumstances, to kiss her. They had ten children, five of whom died\nin infancy. A word as to the living five. A son born in Virginia\nduring the war was named Robert Lee, after the Southern Commander.\nThis son served in the recent Spanish-American War, and was, by happy\nfortune, a member of the staff of General Fitzhugh Lee. He is now in\nthe government service at Washington City. Another son, named James,\nafter his father, was born in Virginia not long after the surrender. At\nthe time, General Longstreet wrote to an absent relative: \u201cThis is my\nUnion son, but he has a yell like the rebel yell when trying to reach\nthe breastworks. I have named him James, after myself, and I know he\nwill always be as good a Union man as I am going to be hereafter.\u201d\nThis son likewise saw volunteer service in the Spanish-American War.\nHe afterwards received a commission in the regular army, and is now\nserving in the Philippines in the Thirteenth Cavalry. This Union\nofficer son is a strong Democrat; his brother in Washington is an\nequally strong Republican. The General always taught that political\nalignment should be based upon conviction alone. His oldest son, John,\nan architect, lives in Atlanta, the youngest son, Randolph, a farmer,\nlives on the home place at Gainesville; the only daughter is Mrs.\nWhelchel, of Gainesville, Georgia. There are five grandchildren.\nGeneral Longstreet said that he started out in his married life with\nthe purpose of preserving military discipline in the family,--managing\nthe family as he would manage soldiers on the field. He soon found that\nthis would not work, and turned over the chief control of his home to\nhis wife.\nGeneral Longstreet was a great admirer of ladies, and has often said\nthat he never saw enough of them, never knew as many as he wanted to\nknow. Into his soldier life few ladies had come. When he got into\ncivil life he wondered where all the ladies came from. After the\nCivil War he was much petted and kissed by the ladies of the South,\nas was the custom with the old heroes of the war. He submitted to it\nwith something more than willingness, particularly from the younger\nand prettier girls. He always had for woman in the abstract the\ntenderest love and reverence. He considered her the human temple of all\nloveliness. He preserved to the end of his long life the romance and\nsentiment which, having but half a chance to develop in his youth, had\ncontinued to develop in his later years. The home was ever to him the\nholy of holies.\nLast summer, at Chicago, he met the daughter of his first sweetheart,\nand told her, with beautiful _na\u00efvet\u00e9,_ that her mother had been his\nsweetheart before going to West Point; that he had meant to marry her\nwhen he got back, though he had not told her so; and on returning, to\nhis disgust, he found her married to another fellow.\nAfter the Mexican War General Longstreet served extensively in the\nIndian campaigns out West. He considered it his duty and made it his\ndelight, as do all good soldiers, to go willingly where he was sent.\nWhen choice was allowed him he went where the service was hardest. He\ndid not ask to dine nicely nor to sleep warm. A storm cloud was not\ntoo rough a covering for him. He did not seek Olympian sunshine. He\ncould gladly make the Rocky Mountains his bed, and the war-whoop of\nthe Indian seeking to disturb the peace of his country was music to\nhis ears. The highest word that he knew was duty. His country he loved\nabove all things else. He served in the United States army for almost a\nquarter of a century, nearly always west of the Mississippi.\nWhen the Civil War broke out he was paymaster at Albuquerque, New\nMexico, with the rank of major. The country had for years been in\ncomparative peace, and he had given up the cherished idea of military\nglory and high promotion. Where did his duty lie in this hour? He had\nloyally served in the Union army for nearly twenty-five years and\nthrough the war that gave to the nation a rich empire. His State and\nhis people were now going to fight the Union. The Union officers with\nwhom he was serving and the Union soldiers whom he had commanded,\npleaded with him to stay with the Union; their wives and daughters\nentreated him and wept over him; the power of vast association appealed\nwonderfully to him; but he thought that duty called him to the service\nof the South, and no earthly power could keep him from that service.\nHe sent in his resignation, and set out at once for Richmond. His\nrelatives and friends along the way, only taking time to speak to him\nas he passed, hastened him on to Richmond. It was a gala journey that\nhe made through the Southern country. The music of Southern songs was\nborne upon every breeze. The wildest enthusiasm electrified town\nand hamlet; from the open doors of every farm-house came salutations\ncheering the passengers on to Richmond. He was not allowed to pay for\nentertainment at any Southern hotel. Everything was free for those who\nwere going to join \u201cJeff. Davis for Dixie and for Southern rights.\u201d\nHEROIC CITIZEN OF THE RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD\nLongstreet entered the Confederate service as brigadier-general,\nand reported for duty to General Beauregard at the first Manassas.\nAfter the baptism of fire at Antietam, in 1862, Longstreet was made\nlieutenant-general, next in rank to Lee. This rank he retained to the\nend of the war, ranking even Stonewall Jackson. This fact is especially\nmentioned, because the last generation of the South have often confused\nthe rank secured by their fathers in the war with the paper ranks given\nby the Confederacy when the war was over and that government, heroic in\nits ruins, had nothing else to give.\nI have heard it said by many Union officers that Longstreet\u2019s corps,\nthe First Corps, was the terror of the Union army. I have heard it\nsaid that Longstreet was the only officer in the Confederate army whom\nGrant and Lincoln wholesomely feared. He was Lee\u2019s right arm in very\ntruth. The morning of the battle of the Wilderness, while President\nLincoln was at the War Department, some one asked him, \u201cWhat is the\nbest thing that can happen to the Union to-day?\u201d He answered, \u201cTo kill\nLongstreet.\u201d It nearly happened, but by the bullets of Longstreet\u2019s own\nmen, because in so gallantly leading them he went too far in front.\nAfter the fall of the curtain at Appomattox General Longstreet went\nto New Orleans and engaged in the cotton and insurance business.\nHe developed in business the splendid ability that marked him as a\nsoldier. He was making ten thousand dollars a year at the time the\ncelebrated difference of opinion came up as to the course the South\nshould pursue in the rehabilitation of the war-wasted land. It was\nthen that he wrote the famous political letter of 1867 that turned the\nSouth against him and made it practically impossible for him to do\nbusiness in that section of the country. The idea that this letter was\nwritten to secure political preferment from the powers in authority is\nperfectly absurd. He was making more in business, and would have made\nstill more and more as the years went on, than he could make then or\never afterwards in politics. Besides, to me, and to any one who ever\nknew the real man, the idea of his changing his convictions a hair\u2019s\nbreadth for any sort of gain is too far-fetched for serious discussion.\nThe very head and front of his offending consisted in his belief that\nit was better for the South to accept the situation then presented;\nbetter for the high-class men of the South to hold the offices than\nto have the negroes and scallawags hold them; better for the South\nto keep faith with its Appomattox parole, which promised obedience\nto constituted authority. It was a few years after this letter that\nPresident Grant appointed him Surveyor of the Port at New Orleans.\nHe never asked for this appointment, and was not consulted about it.\nPresident Grant, in the generosity of his heart, voluntarily sent his\nname to the Senate, and the first news General Longstreet had of it\ncame through the press.\nGeneral Longstreet never affiliated with the controlling element of the\nRepublican party in the South. He believed in a white man\u2019s Republican\nparty in the South, and therefore was never in favor with the dominant\nRepublican party in that section that believed differently. The\npolitical appointments that came to him came because of his high\ncharacter and his record of substantial achievement, and in spite of\nthe opposition of miscellaneous competitive place-seekers. He led a\npolitical movement that has had no following in the Southern section.\nIt would seemingly have been easy for him to have acquiesced in the\nmethods of the Republican machinery in the Southern States which would\nnaturally have made him the head and front of the Southern Republican\nparty. It would have seemed easier in an earlier day for him to have\ngone with the Democracy, which would have made him the political idol\nof the South, as he had been its military idol. Is is so much easier\nto be a demagogue than it is to be a man. It requires no unusual\nmoral caliber to take a seat on the band-wagon and go with the crowd.\nConscience compelled James Longstreet to oppose politically, for their\nown good, as he saw it, his Southern fellow-countrymen. He announced\nhis convictions and stood by them. He never profited, as we measure\nmaterial benefits; he lost. The qualities he exhibited in these crucial\nperiods of his life differentiated the man from the time-server and\nplace-seeker.\nOne who loved him and was close to him in life said, regretfully,\nnot long ago, in speaking of him, that he never did anything after\nAppomattox that \u201cturned out for his own good.\u201d I felt a sudden\ntightening about my heart at this criticism. Perhaps as we view worldly\nhonors and earthly goods the things he did after Appomattox did not\n\u201cturn out for his own good.\u201d But to me he has always been a figure of\nmore sublime courage in the gathering storms of \u201967 and the years that\nfollowed than on any of the brilliant fields of the Civil War. And\nI love best to think of him, not as the warrior leading his legions\nto victory, but as the grand citizen after the war was ended, nobly\ndedicating himself to the rehabilitation of his broken people, offering\na brave man\u2019s homage to the flag of the established government, and\nstanding steadfast in all the passions, prejudices, and persecutions\nof that unhappy period. It was the love and honor and soul of the man\ncrystallized into a being of wonderful majesty, immovable as Gibraltar.\n\u201cThere be things, O sons of what has deserved birthright in the land\nof freedom, the \u2018good of which\u2019 and \u2018the use of which\u2019 are beyond all\ncalculation of earthly goods and worldly uses--things that cannot\nbe bought with a price and do not die with death;\u201d these, gathering\nstrength and beauty in James Longstreet\u2019s character, through the four\nterrible years of warfare, assumed colossal proportions in the dark\nreconstruction era. And when the story of his life has finally been\ntold, in all its grandeur, the finer fame will settle not about the\nvalorous soldier, but about Longstreet, the patriot-citizen.\nTHE CHRISTIAN PATRIOT LOVED THE SOUTH TO THE LAST\nWhen General Longstreet quit fighting, he quit fighting for good. He\nconsidered that the South was back in the Union to stay. There is\nno doubt in the minds of many with whom I have talked that General\nLongstreet\u2019s conciliatory course, because of its effect in holding\nthousands obedient to the laws of the government, prevented the\nconfiscation of much property in the South immediately after the war,\nand greatly alleviated the trials of that distressing period. The\nlocal ostracism of that day and subsequently cut General Longstreet\ndeeply. He loved the South with all the tenderness of one who was\nwilling to die for it. In all the quiet hours that he discussed the\nmisrepresentations of the Southern people, the resentment they bore\nhim, the criticisms and slanders that had been hurled at him, I never\nheard him utter a word against them or give expression to a note of\nbitterness. But I think towards the last, exhausted by much suffering,\nhe had a pitiful yearning for complete reconciliation with all his\npeople. Not many months before he died an officer of the Northern\narmies was calling on him at his hotel in Washington, and in discussing\nthe Civil War and subsequent events, and General Longstreet\u2019s part\ntherein, said, \u201cThe Southern people have not appreciated you since the\nwar, General, but when you are dead they will build monuments to you.\u201d\nGeneral Longstreet said nothing, but his eyes slowly filled. While he\nbore unjust criticism in silence, he was visibly moved by any evidence\nof affection from the Southern people.\nI recall two very beautiful press tributes that appeared last summer\nwhile he was lying desperately ill at his home in Gainesville, Georgia;\none was from the pen of Hon. John Temple Graves, in the Atlanta,\nGeorgia, _News_; the other by Mrs. W. H. Felton, an old-time friend,\nin the Atlanta _Journal_. Mr. Graves, a representative of the splendid\nnew South, spoke of the new generations as worthy descendants of the\nheroic days, and the place General Longstreet would always hold in\ntheir hearts; and Mrs. Felton, one of the important figures of the\nold South, told of the undying love for him of the soldiers of the\nConfederacy, and of the place he had worthily won in the affections of\nall the people; she wanted to speak these words to him for the comfort\nthey would give him; and because he had nobly earned the right to hear\nthem, and ten thousand times more from the people whose battles he had\nfought. When he seemed out of immediate danger, and strong enough to\nunderstand, I read these tributes to him, and he wept like a child.\nThe forbearance of the man and his generous feeling towards those who\nused him harshly finally became a wonder, and is to-day a joy for me to\nremember. I will here give an instance or two touchingly illustrative\nof this side of his character. General Wade Hampton, as stoical as ever\na Roman was, felt very bitterly against General Longstreet because\nof his Republican politics. He expressed his feelings freely both in\npublic and private, and was embittered to the extent that he refused\nto speak to General Longstreet. When General Longstreet succeeded him\nas United States Commissioner of Railroads, he would not come to the\noffice to turn it over to his successor. General Longstreet went to the\noffice, took the oath alone, and endeavored as best he could to make\nhimself acquainted with the duties of the position. When he came home\nthat evening and told me, with evident surprise, that General Hampton\nwas still bitter against him, I asked, rather in the hope of getting\na reply in criticism of General Hampton, \u201cWhat sort of a soldier was\nGeneral Hampton, since he seems so intractable in civil life?\u201d General\nLongstreet replied, without a moment\u2019s hesitation: \u201cThere was not a\nfiner, braver, more gallant officer in the Confederate service than\nWade Hampton.\u201d And when General Hampton died, I think the most splendid\ntribute paid him came from the pen of General Longstreet.\nYears ago there were political differences between General Longstreet\nand Judge Emory Speer, now of the Federal Bench of Georgia, then a\nmember of Congress from the old Eighth District of Georgia. General\nLongstreet felt that he had been wronged. The summer before his death\nwe were at Mt. Airy, Georgia, for a short time. One day I saw Judge\nSpeer in the hotel where we were stopping, and asked General Longstreet\nhow he was going to receive him if Judge Speer should come to speak\nto him, in view of their past differences. The General replied, \u201cAs I\nwould receive any other distinguished American. And as for our past\ndifferences, that has been a long time ago, and I have forgotten what\nit was all about.\u201d\nGeneral John B. Gordon, during recent years, did General Longstreet\ninjustice. I know he caused him much pain. At a time when General\nLongstreet was suffering horribly,--one eye had already been destroyed\nby the dreadful disease; he had long been deaf and paralyzed from war\nservice; the wound in his throat was giving him severest pain,--at this\nsad time General Gordon revived the old, threadbare story that he had\ndisobeyed orders at Gettysburg. But when a reporter from one of the\nNew York dailies called to interview him about General Gordon and his\ncharges, he refused to say one word. It was then that I said, \u201cIf you\nwill not reply to General Gordon, I will. And in the future, so long\nas I shall live, whenever your war record is attacked, I will make\nanswer.\u201d And so it happened that the little story of Gettysburg was\nwritten while General Longstreet was nearing the grave. During these\nlast, sorrowful days he had heard that General Gordon was not in good\nhealth, and he asked me, with touching concern, about his condition.\nI expected to tell General Gordon of these occurrences, but I never\nsaw him again. The Reaper gathered him in, ten days after General\nLongstreet answered the call.\nGeneral Longstreet was a most devout churchman. In early life he was\nan Episcopalian, and he regularly attended that church in New Orleans\nuntil the political differences developed between himself and his\nfriends. After that he noticed that even his church associates avoided\nhim. They would not sit in the same pew with him. Cut to the quick\nby such treatment, he began to wonder if there was any church broad\nenough to withstand differences caused by political and sectional\nfeeling. He discovered that the Roman Catholic priests extended him\nthe treatment he longed for. He began to attend that church, and has\nsaid that its atmosphere from the first appealed to him as the church\nof the sorrow-laden of earth. He was converted under the ministration\nof Father Ryan. After accepting the faith of the Catholic Church he\nfollowed it with beautiful devotion. He regarded it as the compensation\nsent him by the Almighty for doing his duty as he saw it. He clung to\nit as the best consolation there was in life. He went to his duties as\ndevoutly as any priest of the church, and was on his knees night and\nmorning, with the simple, loving faith of a little child.\nWORSHIPPED BY THE SOLDIERS OF THE CONFEDERACY\nThe political estrangements between General Longstreet and many of the\nleaders of the South never extended to the soldiers who did any large\namount of fighting for the South. There was a Confederate reunion in\nAtlanta in 1898. A camp of Confederate Veterans, of Augusta, Georgia,\nmade up of his old command, sent General Longstreet a special request\nto come down from his home in Gainesville, and to wear his old uniform.\nHe replied that his uniform had been destroyed years ago in the fire\nwhich burned his home and practically everything else he had, but that\nhe would gladly go down with what was left of himself--that his old\ntrunk of a body was the only relic of the Confederacy remaining to him.\nThey then secured his measure and had a new Confederate uniform made\nfor him to represent the old as nearly as possible. During all his\nstay at that reunion the old soldiers flocked about him with a devotion\nthat Napoleon would have envied. They went wild over him. When he went\nto the dining-room at the hotel, the doors had to be closed so that he\ncould take his meals without interruption. One evening, in the Kimball,\nhis old \u201cboys\u201d surged about him by the thousands for hours, eager to\ntouch his hand, to touch his garments, to look into his face, and the\ntears streamed down his cheeks. Just before that, one day, outraged at\nsome unkindness that had come from the South, I had said to General\nLongstreet, \u201cThe Southern people are no longer my people. I have no\nhome and no country.\u201d In the midst of the splendid demonstration at the\nreunion of 1898, when the thousands who had followed his colors stood\nwith uncovered heads in his honored presence, I said to him, \u201cThis is\nthe South that I love, because it loves you; it is the magnificent,\ngenerous, loyal South that I love with every impulse of my heart; these\nare my people.\u201d\nI think he never forgot the Confederate reunion in Atlanta in 1898. His\nold soldiers came to his room in a continuous stream. One afternoon,\nwhen he was asleep, utterly worn out, a one-legged, one-armed veteran,\npoorly clad, looking poorly fed, came to his room. I told him of the\nGeneral\u2019s exhausted condition--that he needed the rest, and I was\nreally afraid to disturb him. Then he said, \u201cWon\u2019t you let me go in and\nlook at my old commander, asleep. I haven\u2019t seen him since Appomattox.\nI came all the way from Texas to see him, and I may never see him\nagain.\u201d Without a word I opened the door, and as the worn veteran\nlooked upon his old chieftain we both cried. In the midst of it General\nLongstreet wakened and called the veteran to him. They embraced like\nbrothers and wept together.\nOn the eve of the Spanish-American War General Longstreet received\nhundreds of letters from his old soldiers in every part of the country,\nasking for the privilege of seeing service with him under the flag of\nthe Union. One of them wrote: \u201cIf this country is going to have another\nwar, I want to be in it, and I want to follow my old commander.\u201d\nGeneral Longstreet answered that he was seventy-eight, deaf, and\nparalyzed; that he had two sons he would send to fight for him, but\nthat if his country needed his services, his sword was at its command.\nAs Commissioner of Railroads, General Longstreet made a tour of the\nWest in 1899. He was received with beautiful consideration everywhere,\nbut the welcome which touched him most was that of his old soldiers who\ngreeted him in every State. It was marvellous to see how the veterans\nof a war that was over forty years ago had scattered through the West,\nand it certainly seemed that every one there had heard that General\nLongstreet was coming, and came to the nearest station to see him. With\nthem were many Union veterans who gave him an equally cordial greeting.\nI will digress here to say that General Longstreet could never stand\non a foot of Northern soil where he was not received with every\nmanifestation of earthly honor and esteem by the Union veterans and\ntheir descendants, and this touched him as nothing else in the world\ncould have done. I wish to offer the humble tribute of my love to the\nchivalrous section that is to-day so close to my heart; the honors\nthey paid General Longstreet, their tributes to him, did not end with\nthe grave. Two weeks after the prospectus of this little volume had\nbeen sent out, the first edition had been bought, long before it was\nready for delivery, by the Grand Army of the Republic, and the orders\nwere accompanied by testimonials to General Longstreet as soldier and\npatriot that would make a memorial volume of rich value, and a brief\nselection, at least, I hope to give in future editions.\nAt one place, on his Western tour in 1899, it became necessary for him\nto telegraph to an official of the Rock Island road to ask if he would\n\u201cpass\u201d his car. It happened that this official had been a Union officer\nwho had received hard blows from Longstreet on many bloody fields. He\nreplied that in the old days that tried the courage of men he was much\nmore anxious to \u201cpass\u201d Longstreet than to meet him; that now he was\ngoing to insist on meeting him first, and afterwards he would \u201cpass\u201d\nanything the General wanted him to \u201cpass.\u201d\nNext to the pleasure of meeting his old friends on this Western tour,\nGeneral Longstreet most enjoyed the wonderful development of the\ncountry that had taken place since he was chasing wild Indians across\nits wide plains. The smiling farms that greeted him, the magnificent\ncities, the marvellously fertile irrigated sections that he had last\nbeheld as deserts, the net-work of competing railroads which had\ntaken the place of the trail and the half-worked wagon-roads, the\nevidences everywhere of a magnificent country built up by progressive\npeople,--all these, with all the suggestiveness attaching to them,\nappealed with mighty force to his heart and to his mental appreciation.\nThe picture of industrial growth is a beautiful and impressive one. It\nis a story in itself that needs only a suggestion to make it as large a\npart of this as it should make.\nGenuine Americanism, a love of his country in every sentiment that\nconcerns it and every line of development affecting it, formed a very\nlarge and attractive phase of General Longstreet\u2019s character. And so,\nfrom every stand-point he enjoyed this Western trip to the full.\nHIS COUNTRY HOME IN PICTURESQUE NORTH GEORGIA\nNext to the smoke of battle in the cause of his country, he loved\nnature in her gentlest and most quiet moods. He was fond of the\nforest and farm. He owned a small farm near Gainesville, Georgia,\nwhich was one of the delights of his life. Here he set out an orchard\nand a vineyard on a scale somewhat extensive, in which he found much\npleasure. It is a hilly, uneven country, this rugged Piedmont section\nof north Georgia, noted for its red clay, its rocks, its mighty trees,\nthe wild honeysuckles that carpet its woods, and the purity of the air\nthat sweeps over it and the water that gushes in abundance from its\ndepths. General Longstreet made his little farm in this picturesque\nsection as productive and attractive as he could. It was mostly hills,\nand had to be terraced extensively to keep it from washing away. He had\nit terraced with much care, and laid off something after the manner\nof a battle-field. Thereupon the people around jokingly called it\n\u201cGettysburg.\u201d\nHere he had built and lived in a splendid home of the old colonial\nstyle of architecture, such as has long been popular in the South.\nThe house was richly furnished. He had one of the finest libraries\nin the South, and had collected interesting and valuable souvenirs,\nand furnishings from all over the world. His residence was situated\non a lordly eminence; beyond, the everlasting mountains stretched\nin unbroken length; in the valley between, the placid waters of the\nmountain streams wound lazily to the sea. The location was most\nbeautiful, and has often been called \u201cInspiration Point.\u201d Amid these\nromantic surroundings General Longstreet dispensed a hospitality\ncharacteristic of the most splendid days of the old South. He often\nlaughingly said that his house became a rendezvous for old Confederates\nwho were hastily going West, and needed a \u201clittle aid.\u201d They never\nknocked in vain at his door. He has said that a favorite tale of theirs\nwas that they \u201chad just killed a Yankee, and had to go West hurriedly;\u201d\nthinking, of course, that this plea would strike a sympathetic chord.\nSome twenty years ago General Longstreet\u2019s home and everything it\ncontained, save the people, vanished in flames. After that he lived\nin one of the out-houses, a small frame cottage such as any carpenter\nmight build and any countryman might own.\nSome years ago Hamlin Garland visited Gainesville for the purpose of\ncalling on General Longstreet. After talking with him Mr. Garland\nwrote a very interesting article about him. He especially marvelled\nthat he should find so great a man, so colossal a character, living in\nsuch modest fashion, seemingly almost forgotten by all sections of the\ncountry in whose destiny he had played so important a part. He said he\nfound a world-famous general pruning grape-vines on a red hill-side of\nthe picturesque mountain region of Georgia. He was delighted with his\nversatility, his information, and, most of all, with his glowing love\nof country and his broad ideas of the future greatness of America.\nWhen the imposing house stood and when he afterwards occupied the\ncottage, his home was still the boasted \u201cshow-place\u201d of Gainesville.\nHe was Gainesville\u2019s grand historic character, her first gentleman,\nand her best-loved citizen. Whatever resentment towards him because of\npolitical views may have been felt in other parts of the country where\nmen were striving to be at the head of state processions, in his little\nhome city there was never a break in the loving and proud esteem in\nwhich he was held by his home people.\nHere life remained interesting to him to the last. His heart was ever\nyoung; when he died he was eighty-three years young. Only a day or\ntwo before he was taken away he was planning things that were to take\nplace years in the future. Blindness, deafness, paralysis, the decay of\nphysical faculties, failed to move his dauntless courage or quell his\nsplendid determination.\nGeneral Longstreet\u2019s last days were spent in revising his memoirs\nof the Civil War, as were Grant\u2019s in writing his. The two colossal\ncharacters passed away suffering the excruciating pains of the same\ndread disease,--cancer,--both disdaining death, heroic to the end.\nOn the eve of the Spanish-American War General Longstreet was invited\nby the New York _Herald_ to contribute to its columns a paper on the\nsubject of the threatened trouble with Spain.\nThe closing paragraph of that paper comes across the years a prophecy\nand prayer for all mankind:\n \u201cAs the evening hours draw near, the bugle calls of the eternal\n years sound clearer to my understanding than when drowned in\n the hiss of musketry and the roar of cannon. By memory of\n battle-fields and prophecy of coming events, I declare the hope\n that the present generation may witness the disbandment of\n standing armies, the reign of natural justice, the ushering in of\n the brotherhood of man. If I could recall one hour of my distant\n but glorious command, I would say, on the eve of battle with a\n foreign foe, \u201cLittle children, love one another.\u201d\nLONGSTREET ON THE FIELDS OF MEXICO[F]\nCHAPTER I\nTHE WINNING OF OUR WESTERN EMPIRE\n Mexico will always be a land of romance. Her ruins are yet\n fragrant with memories of the mighty plans of Louis Napoleon.\nAfter an absence of fifty years, General Longstreet revisited Mexico\nin the eventful summer of 1898, leisurely passing over some of the\nscenes of his early military experiences. Half a century had stolen\naway, yet architecturally he found Mexico but little changed. Few of\nthe old landmarks were effaced. Modern ideas and inventions have been\nencouraged and do prevail in our sister republic, but the dream-like\nstrangeness of its civilization is still all-pervading. Mexico is not\nunlike Egypt in some respects. Everywhere is the poetry of a past age.\nEgypt has its sphinx and the pyramids to illustrate a mysterious past;\nin Mexico we find the temples of the Aztecs and the monuments of their\ncruel conquerors. The Montezumas have left the impress of their race\nand civilization on every hand. To the northern visitor Mexico will\nalways be the land of the Aztecs, worshippers of the sun.\nTo me the battle-fields of 1846-47 were of supreme interest. They\nare to most Americans doubtless the chief magnet of attraction. But\nthe eye of an active participant in those glorious achievements of\nAmerican arms sees more as it sweeps over the valley of Mexico than\nis comprehensible to the unprofessional casual observer. It was my\ngreat privilege--to-day a cherished memory--to go over the fields that\nstretch away from Chapultepec with a war-worn soldier who fifty years\nearlier had there learned his first lessons in real warfare.\nMexico will always be a land of romance. Her civilization stands apart.\nHer ruins are yet fragrant with memories of the mighty plans of Louis\nNapoleon. From the ill-fated Maximilian empire to our own war with\nMexico seems but a step back, and yet between the steps great history\nhas been written.\nExcepting Vera Cruz and Cerro Gordo, the scene of all the leading\nevents of General Scott\u2019s campaign lie almost within cannon-shot of the\nMexican capital.\nThe four battles of Contreras, Churubusco, Molino del Rey, and\nChapultepec, which decided the fate of the war, occurred within a\nperiod of four weeks and within a radius of a dozen miles. The Mexican\nGeneral Valencia was disastrously routed at Contreras August 19, 1847,\nand Churubusco was fought and won by the Americans next day. Then\nthere was a short truce between the two belligerents, and terms of\npeace were proposed by an American plenipotentiary. These not proving\nsatisfactory, hostilities were resumed. Scott moved with energy. On\nSeptember 8 the battle of Molino del Rey occurred, the Americans\nwinning, but at heavy sacrifice in killed and wounded. The successful\nassault on Chapultepec hill was made on the 13th, five days later,\nand on the morning of the 14th Scott\u2019s splendid little army entered\nthe Mexican capital and hoisted its flag over the public buildings.\nThe belligerents engaged in these affairs were comparatively small\nand the losses on both sides very severe. The Mexicans fought well,\nbut were execrably led. With the fall of Mexico Scott had conquered a\nnation with an army fewer in numbers than the single corps Longstreet\ncommanded at Gettysburg.\nScott\u2019s army, for the most part, was composed of veteran\ntroops,--regulars, with a considerable contingent of fine and\nwell-officered volunteers. Most of them were already battle-seasoned,\nhaving participated in General Taylor\u2019s initiatory campaign of 1846 on\nthe Rio Grande, where they had signally defeated the Mexicans at Palo\nAlto, Resaca de la Palma, and Monterey. Taylor\u2019s crowning victory at\nBuena Vista, February 23, 1847, did not occur until after Scott had\ndrafted away the best part of his regulars for the march on Mexico.\nAmong them were the Fourth and Eighth Infantry regiments. Lieutenant\nLongstreet had served in both,--in the Fourth as brevet second\nlieutenant after graduating from the Military Academy in 1842, up to\n1845, when he was promoted and transferred to the Eighth, and he was\nlucky enough to be with the latter in the action at Palo Alto, May 8,\n1846, at Resaca de la Palma next day, and in the siege and capture of\nMonterey, September 21 to 23, of the same year. It was on these fields\nthat most of the young fellows who afterwards became conspicuous in the\nUnion and Confederate armies flashed their maiden swords.\nIn the Fourth, among Longstreet\u2019s earlier official and social intimates\nat Jefferson Barracks and Camp Salubrity, were Captain George A.\nMcCall, Lieutenants Augur, Grant, Alex. Hays, and David A. Russell,\nall afterwards distinguished Union generals. Captain McCall was then\nforty-three years old, and was graduated from West Point in 1822, just\ntwenty years ahead of Longstreet\u2019s class.\nThe subsequent Civil War produced some singular anticlimaxes to these\nold Mexican War friendships. It so happened, for instance, that\nsixteen years afterwards, at the battle of Glendale before Richmond,\nLongstreet\u2019s Confederate division was pitted against McCall\u2019s smaller\nUnion division, and the Confederates had the best of it. About dusk,\nafter the heavy fighting was over, McCall and his staff accidentally\nrode into the Forty-seventh Virginia. Curiously enough, the Union\ngeneral alone was captured and brought to Longstreet\u2019s head-quarters.\nHaving for a time been a brevet second lieutenant under McCall in the\nold Fourth Infantry, and really commiserating his personal mishap,\nGeneral Longstreet cordially advanced, offering his hand and proffering\nsuch hospitality as was permissible in the untoward circumstances. But,\ndeeply chagrined by his defeat and capture, McCall sullenly repelled\nLongstreet\u2019s friendly advances. It only remained for the Union general\nto be sent back to Richmond in charge of a staff-officer and guard. It\nwas the last meeting between the old captain and his former lieutenant,\nand, strangely, was McCall\u2019s last appearance in battle, though he\nwas exchanged in a few weeks. He somehow fell into disfavor with the\nWashington authorities, resigned in March, 1863, and died on a farm\nnear Westchester, Pennsylvania, in 1868. McCall was a fine soldier of\nthe old school. Grant was also a second lieutenant with McCall in the\nFourth, and liked him very much.\nAlex. Hays and Longstreet had been associated in both regiments. Like\nLongstreet, Hays was promoted and transferred from the Fourth to\nthe Eighth, though upward of a year subsequently. Grant never left\nthe Fourth until he resigned as captain, about seven years after the\nMexican War. Hays and Grant had been friends at West Point, though not\nclassmates, and very chummy afterwards while subs. in the old Fourth\nInfantry. The official personnel of General Taylor\u2019s army, scant\nthree thousand men, was so small that they were almost like a family.\nEverybody knew everybody else.\nHays was detached from the Eighth when Scott advanced into the\nvalley of Mexico, but was engaged in several severe affairs in\ndefence of convoys of supplies to the front, and also at Heamantle\nand Sequaltiplan. After that war was over he resigned, but in 1861\nimmediately sought service again, and soon rose to the command of a\nUnion division. His division contributed materially to the repulse of\nLongstreet\u2019s attack at Gettysburg on July 3. But poor Hays was killed\nin front of Longstreet\u2019s lines at the Wilderness in 1864, the first\nbattle in Virginia after his old comrade, Grant, had assumed command of\nthe Union armies. Such was the fortune of war of the civil struggle.\nThe Eighth Infantry furnished from its Mexican War contingent few\nconspicuous leaders to either side in the subsequent Civil War. The\nregiment was compelled to surrender to the local authorities of Texas\nearly in 1861, and were detained at the South many months. Only a few\nof its old officers then remained. All those of Southern proclivities\nhad already withdrawn. Longstreet left the Eighth in 1858, ten years\nafter peace with Mexico, having been promoted to major and paymaster.\nBy detention as prisoners of war the Union soldiers of the Eighth were\ndeprived of the early promotion which fell to the lot of most regulars.\nOut of all the officers of the two regiments engaged in Mexico,\nonly seven, it appears, espoused the Southern cause, and of these\nbut three attained to any considerable rank in the Confederate\narmies,--Longstreet, Pickett, and Cadmus E. Wilcox. Pickett was a\nmagnificent soldier, one of the most daring in the Confederate army.\nIn the two campaigns of Taylor and Scott the Fourth and Eighth lost no\nfewer than twelve officers killed and fatally wounded, and eighteen\nothers seriously wounded, a very heavy percentage. This alone proves\nthat the Americans had no walkover. Every foot of the ground was\nbravely contested by the Mexicans.\nTo continue this digression a little farther, it may be said that the\ngenesis of the two Mexican campaigns is not well understood. Winfield\nScott was and had long been the commanding general of the United\nStates army, and entitled as such, aside from his military renown, to\nthe Mexican command. But Scott, a Southern Whig, was ambitious to be\nPresident. The Democratic administration of Polk was quite naturally\nchary of giving Scott an opportunity to win public applause through\na victorious military campaign. Scott had early submitted a plan of\noperations, with request for permission to lead an American army into\nMexico. But Zachary Taylor, then only a colonel and brevet brigadier,\nwas chosen for the purpose, to the discomfiture of Scott and his\ncoterie. Of course, the general-in-chief chafed because he had thus\ndesignedly been over-slaughed by a junior.\nThe administration overreached itself. Taylor\u2019s small victories in\nnorthern Mexico in the Spring of 1846 were so greatly magnified by the\npress of the States that he at once became the hero of the hour. Soon\nhe was the open candidate of the Whig party for the Presidency; for\nTaylor, like Scott, was a Southern Whig. Polk and his advisers were\nnow between the devil and the deep sea. To beat back and neutralize the\nrising Taylor tide they precipitately turned to Scott. His original\nplan for bringing Mexico to terms _via_ Vera Cruz was adopted, and he\nassigned to the command, with fulsome assurances of ample and continued\nsupport, which were never fulfilled.\nScott was thereupon given _carte blanche_ to withdraw such force\nof regulars from Taylor as he deemed necessary to the successful\nprosecution of his proposed invasion, and meanwhile Taylor, with some\nfive thousand volunteers and a slight leaven of regular troops, was to\nremain on the defensive. Then something happened. Taylor did not choose\nto remain stock still, but advanced. A few weeks after the depletion of\nhis army, which began in January, 1847, and before Scott had landed at\nVera Cruz with his raw volunteers, Taylor worsted Santa Anna at Buena\nVista. He not only signally defeated the foreign enemy, but completed\nthe rout of the Democratic administration at Washington, and the next\nyear was nominated by the Whigs and elected President hands down,\nwholly on the strength of his military achievements. Scott, nominated\nin 1852, was disastrously beaten by the Democratic candidate, Franklin\nPierce, one of his inconspicuous civilian brigadiers in Mexico. It must\nhave been a galling blow to the old General\u2019s pride. His defeat was the\ndeath-blow of the Whig party.\nCHAPTER II\nPECULIARITIES OF SCOTT AND TAYLOR\n As we gazed down from Chapultepec\u2019s heights, on that fragrant day\n of 1898, across the beautiful valley of Mexico, the war of fifty\n years agone seemed but yesterday to him who on those fields had\n added a new star of the first magnitude to the galaxy of American\n valor.\nSince those old days General Longstreet often speculated on the result\nif Taylor and Scott had been required to handle the armies of Lee and\nGrant and meet the conditions which confronted the great Union and\nConfederate leaders at the crucial periods of their campaigns. He\nconcluded that both would have maintained their high reputations at the\nhead of much larger bodies of troops than they marshalled in Mexico,\neven though confronted by abler opponents than Santa Anna, supported\nby stronger and better-disciplined armies than the half-starved,\nill-appointed levies he brought against them at Buena Vista and Cerro\nGordo. At all events, the young fellows of 1846-47 to a man believed\nTaylor and Scott adequately equipped to successfully meet any military\nemergency.\nThey were extraordinary characters. Both were practised officers dating\nback to the war of 1812, though neither was a West Point graduate.\nScott on the Canadian frontier had commanded against considerable\nbodies of disciplined British troops in pitched battle, and came off\nwith increased reputation. He had then visited Europe and observed the\ncontinental armies. He was well educated; had studied for the bar,\nbut by preference took up the military profession, of which he was a\ndiligent student. Scott was thoroughly up in the literature of war. To\na cultivated mind he added a colossal person and a fine presence.\nGeneral Scott\u2019s chief fault was an overweening personal vanity\nwhich often took the form of mere pedantry, not unseldom bringing\nhim into personal ridicule. Insufferably pompous, he invariably\nmaintained a vast, unbending dignity, both of manner and speech,\nwhether oral or written. The subalterns of the army looked upon him\nwith absolute awe. Many a brevetted cadet would readily have chosen\nto go against a Mexican intrenchment rather than into the commanding\ngeneral\u2019s presence. He brooked no familiarity from high or low. While\nhe sometimes indulged in a sort of elephantine affability, he was\nnaturally dictatorial towards all subordinates, though always within\nthe limits of decency. Scott\u2019s was not at all the overbearing insolence\nof the coward. He always rode in full uniform, with all the insignia of\nhis rank visible to the naked eye.\nSuch a queer combination of bigness and littleness, learning, practical\nability, and whimsicality formed a character sure to create enemies,\nand it must be said that Scott had plenty of them, both in and out of\nthe army. By them he was derisively dubbed \u201cOld Fuss and Feathers.\u201d\nNotwithstanding his weakness, the General was physically and morally\na very brave man. He was cool and deliberate in forming his military\nplans, and once determined upon they were prosecuted with unhesitating\nenergy and precision. Above all he was an honest man. Undoubtedly\nGeneral Scott possessed a comprehensive military mind.\nEqually cool and careful in planning, equally energetic in execution,\nand equally brave, honest, and true, in other respects Taylor was an\nentirely different type of man. Personally he was the antipodes of the\nhandsome giant, Scott, being only of middle stature. His complexion was\nswarthy and his face rugged and homely, but with a kindly expression.\nUnlike Scott again, Taylor\u2019s schooling had been limited, yet without\nany affectation of style he wrote clearly and vigorously. From the age\nof one year he had lived the life of a Kentucky frontier farmer boy up\nto his entry into the army as a lieutenant in 1808.\nTaylor\u2019s military experience, confined wholly to the Western border in\n1812, was limited to outpost affairs with Indians and the few squads\nof British soldiers and borderers who supported them. As an officer he\nhad never met so much as a full company of disciplined soldiers until\nPalo Alto. Taylor never wore his uniform, or almost never. He dressed\nin rough clothes no better than those worn by the common soldier. He\nwas often seen riding without his staff or other attendant, seeing\nthings with his own eyes. He was frank and somewhat rough, but kindly\nin speech. While he was not without proper dignity, he talked and acted\nstraight to the mark without much consideration for appearances. He\ntreated his subordinates with easy consideration, and was often seen\njoking and laughing with mere subalterns. He was given the sobriquet\nof \u201cOld Rough and Ready\u201d by the army, in which he was dearly loved by\nall. It was a title which rang through the country in the political\ncampaign of 1848. He not only inspired universal good will, rough and\nuncultivated as he was, but confidence. Such were the two Mexican\ncommanders.\nAs we gazed down from Chapultepec\u2019s heights, on that fragrant day of\n1898, across the beautiful valley of Mexico, the war of fifty years\nagone seemed but yesterday to him who on those fields had added a new\nstar of the first magnitude to the galaxy of American valor. Memories\nof the glorious past rushed through his mind. Here Grant and Lee had\ntaken their first lessons in practical warfare on a considerable\nscale. Here had been won not only Texas, but the vast domain away\nto the Pacific. Since then what social, industrial, and political\nrevolutions had he not witnessed. From the Mississippi had spread out a\ngreat republic, reaching from ocean to ocean. He had seen the Southern\nConfederacy rise and fall, and colossal history, along the way from\nChapultepec to Manila, written in the blood of the nation\u2019s strong\nmen. And Mexico has not been behind in the mighty changes that have\nswept over the continent since her bitter humiliation in 1847. She has\nadvanced by heroic strides, especially under the wise leadership of\nDiaz.\nBut after all it was not wholly the great events of half a century\nthat crowded upon General Longstreet\u2019s memory at this interesting\njuncture. Curiously enough, his mind persisted in fixing itself upon\nminor incidents,--social and personal relations,--on the comrades who\nhad here and elsewhere laid down their lives in the service, on others\nwho had risen to distinction or dropped out of the running. The \u201cboys\u201d\nof \u201946 and \u201947 again crowded upon him. It could hardly be otherwise,\nfor they were a band of brothers then. When General Taylor\u2019s little\nArmy of Observation was collected in western Louisiana, the whole\nregular establishment of the United States consisted of no more than\n12,139 officers and men. The Army of Occupation which was concentrated\nat Corpus Christi, Texas, in the fall of 1845, numbered only three\nthousand men.\nThe days of Corpus Christi still formed a vivid picture in General\nLongstreet\u2019s mind. The oldest officers present--even General Taylor\nhimself--had never seen so large a body of the regular army together.\nAdjoining the camp were extensive level prairies, admirably adapted to\nmilitary man\u0153uvres. Many of the officers had not taken part in even\na battalion drill since leaving West Point, and with most of them\nevolutions of the line had only been read in tactics. So widely had\nthe troops been scattered, and in such small detachments, to meet the\nrequirements of the country\u2019s extensive frontiers, that there were\ncolonels who had never seen their entire regiments.\nThis concentration afforded opportunity for practical professional\ninstruction and discipline which was appreciated and availed of.\nBut with this preparatory work there were amusements, and lasting\nfriendships were formed; perhaps a few equally lasting enmities.\nGame and fish abounded. There were no settlements; the country was\nabsolutely wild. Within a few hours\u2019 ride of the camps were wild\nturkeys in flocks of twenty to forty; deer and antelope were numerous,\nand not far afield were vast droves of wild mustangs. Wolves and\ncoyotes were everywhere, and occasionally a Mexican lion (cougar) was\nfound. Many of the young officers became expert hunters. Muzzle-loading\nshot-guns were used mainly; there were no breech-loaders in those\ndays. The camp tables fairly groaned with game dishes; wild turkey\nand venison finally so palled upon many of the soldiers as actually\nto become distasteful, and the old reliable beef and pork of the\ncommissariat was resorted to in preference.\nWild horses were lassoed and brought into camp by Mexicans and tame\nIndians, and sold to the Americans for two or three dollars a head.\nAn extra good animal would sometimes bring twelve dollars, which was\nthe tip-top price. A good many were purchased by the quartermaster for\nthe use of the army, and proved very serviceable. These animals looked\nsomething like the Norman breed; they had heavy manes and tails, and\nwere much more powerful than the plains ponies farther north of a later\ndate. They foraged for themselves and flourished where the American\nhorse would deteriorate and soon die.\nCHAPTER III\nUNPRETENTIOUS LIEUTENANT GRANT\n It was not until Grant came East during the Civil War that\n Longstreet began fully to appreciate his military ability.\n Grant\u2019s successes at Donelson, Shiloh, and Vicksburg were but\n vaguely understood in the Army of Northern Virginia, where they\n were mainly ascribed to bad generalship on the Confederate side,\n and some blundering good luck on Grant\u2019s part.\nLieutenant Grant, of the Fourth, had acquired great reputation at the\nMilitary Academy as an expert horseman. He was always the show rider\nupon great occasions. He greatly added to this reputation at Corpus\nChristi. He was regimental quartermaster, and had much to do with these\nhorses. He bought several of the better class for his own use. While\nriding one and leading the others to water one day, just before the\narmy moved to the Rio Grande, his colored servant lost the whole bunch,\nor perhaps sold them for his own account. He claimed that, throwing him\noff, they jerked loose and stampeded away. There was a joke among the\nboys that, upon being told of the incident, General Taylor humorously\nremarked, \u201cYes, I understand Mr. Grant lost five or six dollars\u2019 worth\nof horses recently,\u201d satirically referring to their extraordinary\ncheapness. Grant declined to buy more horses for his private use. Soon\nafter, the army advanced to the Rio Grande, and foot officers had no\nuse for horses.\nThe unpretentious Grant was soon famous throughout the army as a\n\u201cbronco buster,\u201d in the sense the term is now familiarly used. He would\nunhesitatingly mount and soon bring to terms the most vicious of wild\nhorses. On horseback he was a very centaur. In no other manner could an\nanimal unhorse Grant than by lying down and rolling over. A large group\nof interested officers one day had opportunity to observe his success\nin dealing with an unbroken horse. An Indian had brought to camp a\nsplendid specimen which had struck Grant\u2019s fancy, and for which he paid\nthe record price of twelve dollars. It seemed to prance on springs\nof steel; its beautiful head was carried on high, and the noble eyes\nshot sparks of fire. While two grooms held it by lariats from either\nside, Grant blindfolded the stallion. Then the regulation accoutrements\nof Spanish saddle and heavy-bitted bridle were adjusted, and Grant\nmounted, his heels armed with an enormous pair of Mexican spurs.\nThus blindfolded, the beautiful animal had stood stock still, trembling\nlike an aspen. The instant his eyes were uncovered he sprang forward\nlike a shot. Grant held his seat firmly. Then the horse began to\n\u201cbuck,\u201d--that is, to jump high into the air, at the same moment\nsuddenly crooking his back upward with intent to throw off his burden.\nThis was repeated time after time, of course without dislodging\nGrant, who was up to that sort of thing. The proceeding was greeted\nby the by-standers with shouts of laughter and yells of \u201cHang on,\nGrant,\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t let him down you, old boy,\u201d etc. The animal presently\ntired of this work, and at the proper juncture the cool-headed rider\nvigorously applied the spurs, at the same time loosening the rein,\nwhen the stallion plunged straight forward at a breakneck pace through\nthe chaparral and cacti of the plain. The soldiers watched them until\nthey disappeared, and the uninitiated wondered if they should ever see\nGrant alive again. Two hours later they returned at a slow walk, both\nexhausted, the horse\u2019s head down and his sides wet with sweat and foam.\nHe was conquered, and was thereafter as docile as any well-trained\nAmerican horse.\nWhen not on duty, Grant\u2019s chief amusement at Corpus Christi was\nhorseback riding. He was no sportsman, and only occasionally played\n\u201cbrag\u201d for small stakes. Longstreet\u2019s classmate, Lieutenant Benjamin,\nof the Fourth Artillery, came in one day with a story about Grant\u2019s\none attempt at gunning for turkeys. The two, on a short leave with\nother officers, had made a journey on horseback to Austin late in\nthe fall of 1845, accompanying a train of supplies. Returning, the\nparty was reduced to three,--Benjamin, Grant, and Lieutenant Augur,\nafterwards major-general in the Union army. Augur fell sick and was\nleft at Goliad, to be picked up by a train following. At Goliad Grant\nand Benjamin went out to shoot turkeys. Benjamin was a good shot and\nsoon returned to camp with several fine birds. He found Grant already\nin, but without any game. The latter said that a large flock of turkeys\nhad taken flight in twos and threes from branches of the pecan-trees\noverhead, some of them calmly looking at him several moments before\ntaking wing. He had watched them with much interest until the last\nturkey had disappeared. Then it suddenly occurred to him that he\nhad come out to shoot turkeys. \u201cI concluded, Benjamin, from this\ncircumstance,\u201d explained Grant, with much chagrin, \u201cthat I was not\ncut out for a sportsman, so I returned to the house, confident you\nwould bring in plenty of birds.\u201d This explanation was offered with the\nutmost simplicity, and Benjamin repeated it with much unction. Poor\nBenjamin did not live to see the heights of fame reached by the little\nlieutenant who did not know enough to shoot wild turkeys in 1845. He\nwas killed at the storming of the city of Mexico, September 13, 1847.\nThese anecdotes of a distinguished man naturally find place in a\npotpourri paper of this kind, but their special purpose is to show\nGrant\u2019s personal characteristics, and in some sort the estimate\nplaced upon him by his comrades of sixty years ago. But in those\ndays the young fellows of the army fooled away no time in estimating\nupon the intellectual capacity of even the most promising associate.\nGrant was just simply an unobtrusive, every-day second lieutenant,\nwithout special promise or remarkable traits. It must be said that\nno one looked upon him then as the coming great man of the greatest\nwar of civilized times. Rather quiet, seldom seeking crowds, Grant\nnevertheless enjoyed his friends, and among them was both a voluble\nand interesting talker. The alleged taciturnity of the later time was\nassumed to shut off busybodies--it was only judicious reticence. He\nwas quickly known as a very brave and enterprising soldier in action,\nand, in fact, distinguished himself under both Taylor and Scott. He\nand Longstreet were intimate friends from 1839 through the seven years\nending with the Mexican War, and often met in friendliest relations\nafter the Civil War. Grant never forgot a friend in need.\nIt was not until Grant came East during the Civil War that Longstreet\nbegan to fully appreciate his military ability. Grant\u2019s successes at\nDonelson, Shiloh, and Vicksburg were but vaguely understood in the\nArmy of Northern Virginia, where they were mainly ascribed to bad\ngeneralship on the Confederate side, and some blundering good luck on\nGrant\u2019s part. But after the war was over and access was had to the\ninside history of those events, Longstreet soon perceived that the\nVicksburg campaign was one of the greatest in military history, and\nthat Pemberton\u2019s destruction was almost wholly due to Grant\u2019s bold\nconception of the military requirements to fulfil the expectations of\nhis government.\nLongstreet had been near by when Grant attacked and defeated Bragg\nat Chattanooga, and also thought that victory was largely due to\noverwhelming numbers and Bragg\u2019s incapacity to perceive the impending\nstorm. Longstreet wrote to General Lee from East Tennessee, some\ntime in the winter of 1863-64, that he need have no fear of Grant,\nthen presumptively booked for the Army of the Potomac; that he was\noverestimated, largely from his prestige acquired against inferior\ncommanders, etc. But in the very beginning of the Wilderness campaign\nin 1864 the commander of the First Corps of the Army of Northern\nVirginia saw a power displayed in man\u0153uvring the Army of the Potomac\nwhich the Confederates had never met before. There is no doubt that\nGeneral Lee himself appreciated that he had a new and puzzling force to\ndeal with. At the Wilderness Lee assumed the offensive the moment Grant\ncrossed the Rapidan, essaying the same tactics that had been practised\nupon Hooker at Chancellorsville, but he failed. The Confederates\nwithstood Grant in the Wilderness, but it was the last time General Lee\nattempted a general offensive. This was somewhat due to his inferior\nnumbers and waning morale, but it was mainly because of Grant\u2019s\npresence. The year before, after what was practically a drawn battle at\nChancellorsville, Hooker, with double Lee\u2019s force, withdrew across the\nriver. He had between twenty-five thousand and thirty thousand men who\nhad scarcely fired a gun in battle. Grant, with fewer men than Hooker,\nfought a larger Confederate army at the Wilderness. It, too, was no\nmore than a drawn battle, yet Grant had no thought of recrossing the\nriver to recuperate. He moved forward and immediately put General Lee\non the defensive.\nGeneral Lee at last realized that the Confederacy\u2019s only hope was\ndefensive battle, and his fame as a General will rest wholly on that\ncampaign. If he had persisted in the tactics employed against Hooker\nand Pope and McClellan, his army would have been destroyed in ten days\nafter the Wilderness. Grant really had the Army of Northern Virginia\non the go on the morning of the 6th of May; it was saved from utter\nrout only by the timely arrival of the First Corps, which rolled back\nHancock\u2019s victorious lines upon the Brock road and beyond.\nCHAPTER IV\nPLEASANT INCIDENTS OF CAMP LIFE AT CORPUS CHRISTI\n The reunion at Corpus Christi made a deep impression upon the\n fledglings of the service. The long encampment there formed a\n green spot in the memory of the little army that bore our colors\n in triumph to the city of Mexico.\nAmong General Longstreet\u2019s pleasant memories of camp life at Corpus\nChristi was a rude theatre erected by a joint stock company of the\nyoung officers, who acted in the plays produced on its boards, taking\nboth male and female parts. Many roaring comedies were billed, and\ncheered the garrison from time to time. The enlisted men were of\ncourse permitted to pay the entrance fee and see the best that was\ngoing. General Worth was always a delighted auditor, General Taylor\noccasionally honored the entertainments with his presence, and General\nTwiggs rarely. After exhausting the field of comedy and having already\nreimbursed themselves for all outlays, the officers concluded to enter\nthe more expensive and difficult field of tragedy. The first play\nchosen was the Moor of Venice. Lieutenant Porter, brother of Admiral\nPorter, was assigned the part of Othello, whilst Lieutenant Longstreet\nwas nominated for Desdemona; but upon inspection the manager protested\nthat six feet dignified in crinoline would not answer even for a tragic\nheroine. So Longstreet was discarded and Grant substituted. Finally,\nafter a rehearsal or two, Grant, too, had to give way under protests\nof Porter that male tragediennes could not give the proper sentiment\nto the play. Then the officers \u201cchipped in\u201d and sent to New Orleans\nfor a real actress, and thereafter all went well. The play was pulled\noff eventually with as much _\u00e9clat_ as followed General Taylor\u2019s first\nvictory a few months later on the Rio Grande.\nA volume could be filled with incidents of those sunny days on the\nMexican Gulf, the incipient stage of the first campaign in real war\nfor the young officers. They gave little heed of the morrow. Their pay\nwas small, but their requirements were on even a less scale. There\nwas a good deal of drilling, but otherwise their duties were far from\nonerous. A large proportion of the cadets Longstreet had known at West\nPoint from 1838 to 1842 were there congregated, and old associations\nwere renewed. Of course, all these officers were not intimates, but\nnearly all were personal acquaintances on the most friendly footing.\nEvery one brought his share to the common aggregate of interest and\npleasure.\nAmong the officers there collected who afterwards became prominent\nin the Union and Confederate armies, in addition to those already\nmentioned, were William J. Hardee, Thomas Jordan, John C. Pemberton,\nBraxton Bragg, Earl Van Dorn, Samuel G. French, Richard H. Anderson,\nRobert S. Garnett, Barnard E. Bee, Bushrod R. Johnson, Abram C. Myers,\nLafayette McLaws, and E. Kirby Smith, of the Confederate service;\nand J. K. F. Mansfield, George G. Meade, Don Carlos Buell, George H.\nThomas, N. J. T. Dana, Charles F. Smith, Joseph J. Reynolds, John\nF. Reynolds, Abner Doubleday, Alfred Pleasanton, Thomas J. Wood,\nSeth Williams, and George Sykes, distinguished Union generals in the\nCivil War. There were many others too numerous to mention. Longstreet\nafterwards met many of these officers as mortal foes on the field of\nbattle. He served with others in the Confederate armies, and others\nserved under him. McLaws and Pickett were long fighting division\ncommanders in his corps.\nRobert E. Lee, George B. McClellan, G. T. Beauregard, and Joseph E.\nJohnston were not with Taylor, and they and others, notably E. R. S.\nCanby, Isaac I. Stevens, and John G. Foster, did not join the army\nuntil Scott\u2019s campaign opened in 1847, though it appears that Lee was\nwith General Wool\u2019s column in the movement towards Chihuahua. They\nwere among the great names of the subsequent Civil War. Jefferson\nDavis, colonel of the Mississippi Rifles, joined Taylor after Scott had\nwithdrawn the regulars, but in time to turn the tide of battle at Buena\nVista. Altogether it was a brilliant roster. They were all graduates of\nthe Military Academy. Of all the officers collected at Corpus Christi,\nit is doubtful if there is to-day a score of survivors. A large number\nwere killed in action. A far greater number died of disease in the\nMexican or Civil War campaigns.\nBesides the long list of West Pointers, there were at Corpus Christi\nmany regulars appointed from civil life, meritorious officers who\nafterwards made their mark. One of these was Lawrence P. Graham, a\nVirginian, already a captain in the Second Dragoons. He was some six\nyears Longstreet\u2019s senior. After Mexico Graham stuck to the old army,\nrose to the colonelcy of the Fourth Cavalry in 1864, and was a Union\nbrigadier of volunteers. He had been in the army nearly ten years when\nthe Mexican War broke out. He still survives at the green old age of\neighty-eight, a retired colonel since 1870, thirty-three years. He has\nbeen carried on the rolls of the United States army nearly sixty-seven\nyears. That is one of the rewards for having been lucky enough to\nespouse the winning side in 1861. But self-interest had little to do\nwith the choice of sides; conscience pointed the way in that hour of\npassion.\nThe reunion at Corpus Christi made a deep impression upon the\nfledglings of the service. The long encampment there formed a green\nspot in the memory of the little army that bore our colors in triumph\nto the city of Mexico. Those who have left memoirs of their military\ncareers have to a man dwelt largely upon the various interesting,\nthough generally unimportant, incidents of this delightful episode.\nMarch, 1846, brought the hour of their ending; on the 9th the bugles\nof the line sounded the assembly, and in obedience to instructions\nfrom Washington General Taylor put his army in motion by easy stages\nfor the line of the Rio Grande River. That movement immediately\nproduced a result which the government had long secretly desired,--war.\nNegotiations for the amicable possession of Texas and the territory to\nthe Pacific had failed.\nIt is not the purpose of this paper to write the history of the Mexican\nWar, but a few of its salient features may be recounted perhaps with\nprofit.\nUnder the Texas treaty of annexation and the act admitting Texas into\nthe American Union the United States claimed all the territory down\nto the Rio Grande and westward to the border of New Mexico. Mexico,\non her part, denied that Texas was a free agent, although President\nSanta Anna, captured by the Texans the next day after the battle of\nSan Jacinto in 1836, while in durance had consented to a treaty which\nacknowledged Texan independence. Texas had adopted a constitution\nand set up an independent government. Mexico repudiated Santa Anna\u2019s\nagreement, but nevertheless had subsequently never been able to conquer\nthe lost territory. The entrance of the American troops into Texas was\ntherefore by Mexico considered a _casus belli_, and her troops, under\nGeneral Arista, crossed the river and began aggressive war upon the\nUnited States detachments as soon as they reached the vicinity.\nThe Mexican General Torrejon captured a detachment of United States\ndragoons April 25, including Captains Thornton and Hardee and\nLieutenant Kane, besides killing Lieutenant George J. Mason and sixteen\nmen. Mason was a classmate of Longstreet. Thornton, Hardee, and Kane\nwere well treated, and soon after exchanged. Small bands of Mexicans\ncommitted other depredations. Shortly after the unfortunate incident\nabove recited, Lieutenant Theodoric Porter and a small party were fired\nupon from an ambuscade in the chaparral, and Porter and one soldier\nkilled. Porter had been one of the theatrical stars at Corpus Christi.\nThe march to Point Isabel, the siege of Fort Brown by General Ampudia,\nand the stirring affairs at Palo Alto and Resaca soon followed. The\nspirit of _camaraderie_ and patriotic zeal which animated the Army\nof Occupation was vividly illustrated when Captain Charles May was\nordered by Taylor, at Resaca de la Palma, to charge a Mexican battery.\nAs May drew up his own and Graham\u2019s squadrons for the work, Lieutenant\nRandolph Ridgely, of Ringgold\u2019s artillery, called out, \u201cHold on,\nCharlie, till I draw their fire,\u201d and he \u201cturned loose\u201d with his six\nguns upon the enemy. The return fire was prompt, but Ridgely\u2019s wise\npurpose was accomplished. Then the invincible heroism with which\nMay rushed forward at the head of a handful of the Second Dragoons\nsignalized the qualities which unerringly foreshadowed the result of\nthat war. The opposing battery was secured in the twinkling of an eye,\nand the Mexican General La Vega captured amid his guns. May\u2019s gallant\nexploit was the theme of the army. May, Ridgely, and Longstreet were\nclose friends, of the trio Longstreet being youngest in years and\nservice. Ridgely was killed at Monterey that fall. May lived until\n1864, having resigned in 1861. He took no part in the Civil War.\nThe first successes of the Mexican War were easy and decisive. The\nreal hardships began with the march over the sterile wastes towards\nMonterey. Monterey was equally as decisive, but it was found to be a\nmuch harder nut to crack, and here the American losses were very heavy.\nThe general effect of Taylor\u2019s operations, in conjunction with Wolf\u2019s\ncampaign and the overland march of General Kearny to California, was\ndemoralizing to the Mexicans.\nCHAPTER V\nINTO THE INTERIOR OF MEXICO\n In after-years Lee\u2019s admirers claimed that much of Scott\u2019s glory\n on the fields of Mexico was due to Lee\u2019s military ability. Scott\n gave him great praise.\nWhen it was learned that two divisions of Taylor\u2019s army had been\nordered to the coast, there was much speculation at the front as to the\nmeaning of the movement. The younger contingent immediately jumped to\nthe conclusion that the war was over, and that Twiggs\u2019s and Patterson\u2019s\ntroops were ordered home. This proved not to be the case, but the army\nwas not much disappointed to learn that another campaign farther south\nwas projected. There was some friction between Taylor and Scott over\nthe withdrawal of the regulars. Some of Scott\u2019s letters to Taylor\nmiscarried, and Scott, pressed for time, was compelled to order the\ntroops he wanted down to the coast without Taylor\u2019s knowledge, the\nlatter at times being far in the interior. When Taylor learned that his\nbest troops had been ordered away without an hour\u2019s previous notice,\nthe old general was naturally very much incensed. He was afterwards\nsomewhat mollified when he received Scott\u2019s delayed correspondence, and\nsaw that his chief had endeavored to reach him in the proper spirit.\nScott was the senior, and of course it was for him to order; besides,\nScott himself had orders from the President to withdraw the troops.\nTaylor, however, made, both to Scott and the Secretary of War, a sharp\nprotest against the manner of carrying out the design. Doubtless Taylor\nfelt sore upon learning that the administration intended leaving him\nupon the defensive, without means to continue his victorious advance.\nBuena Vista, a few weeks later, probably melted the old fellow\u2019s rancor\ninto sardonic satisfaction.\nOnce started, the troops rapidly retrograded to the Rio Grande.\nThe weather was fairly cool, and the marches made from twenty to\ntwenty-eight miles per day. One rather warm day, while the troops were\non this move, a burnt district was passed over, and the heat and flying\nsmoke and ashes choked the tired men and officers. When the column\ncamped, it was upon a beautiful mountain stream, into which all rushed\nfor a bath. First Lieutenant Sydney Smith, of the Fourth, one of the\nfirst to start for the water, while passing through the timber which\nfringed the stream, was attacked by peccaries, a species of wild pig\ncommon in Mexico. They are not very large, but travel in droves, and\nare very fierce. They treed Smith upon a low-hanging limb barely out\nof reach of his excited pursuers. The limb was very slender for his\nweight, and as he swung to the ground, the maddened peccaries reared\nupon their hind feet and snapped savagely at Smith\u2019s pendent feet and\nlegs. The woods were now full of the officers and men going to the\nstream, and a party soon relieved Smith from his precarious perch.\nSmith was a brave fellow. He was the next year wounded at Molino del\nRey, and within a week after killed at the attack on Belen Gate.\nThere was a considerable delay at the mouth of the river, awaiting\ntransports. The point of assemblage of the troops from New Orleans,\nMobile, and Taylor\u2019s army was Lobos Island, some three hundred miles\nsouth of the Rio Grande\u2019s mouth. The march began January 9, 1847, but\nit was not until about February 12 that the first of the regulars\nsailed from the Rio Grande to Lobos Island. Scott had expected the\nconcentration at Lobos to have been completed three weeks earlier. The\nfault was in the transport service.\nThe fleet did not leave Lobos Island until March 2. A week later a\nlanding was effected near Vera Cruz, and on the 10th the first guns\nof the new campaign were heard,--shots from the castle of San Juan de\nUlloa at Worth\u2019s troops encamped upon the sand-hills. The investment of\nthe city was speedily completed and siege operations begun. The army\nheard of Taylor\u2019s remarkable victory at Buena Vista on the 15th of\nMarch. It took away their breath to learn that Santa Anna had marched a\ngreat army against Taylor after they had left, and had been defeated.\nIt explained why there had been so little opposition to the landing of\nthe American forces. Vera Cruz surrendered on the 29th.\nThen the march into the interior of Mexico began, led by Twiggs\u2019s\ndivision. The first objective point was Jalapa. Scott\u2019s design was to\nget upon the mountain plateau before the yellow-fever season approached\non the coast. It was deadly in that region. The precision with which\nScott\u2019s plans were carried forward, and their uniform success, made\na profound impression upon the army. His reputation was very high\nbefore he had struck the first blow, but after Vera Cruz no one of that\narmy doubted that he would soon enter the Mexican capital. The army\u2019s\nmorale was high from the outset; it was small, consequently but little\nbothered with the impedimenta which make the movements of a large army\nso slow and oftentimes tortuous. It marched rapidly, and Scott sent it\nsquare at the mark every time occasion offered.\nNevertheless there was great delay in the advance to the valley of\nMexico. Operations were very energetic in the beginning. The battle\nof Cerro Gordo occurred on the 18th of April, where a complete and\ntechnically brilliant victory was won. It was here Santa Anna, already\nreturned from his ill-fated movement against Taylor, undertook to\ndefend the passage of the mountains against Scott\u2019s advance. After\ncareful reconnoissances, the American general turned his position,\nattacked his flank, and after a short fight broke up his army in utter\nrout, very nearly cutting off and capturing the whole. As it was, the\nAmericans captured about four thousand prisoners, forty-three cannon,\nand three thousand five hundred small-arms. All this was done with a\nforce of less than nine thousand Americans against some twelve thousand\nMexicans strongly fortified.\nThis extraordinary victory opened the road to the valley. Thus within\ntwenty days Scott had effected a landing, captured Vera Cruz, signally\ndefeated the enemy in pitched battle, and taken the road into the heart\nof Mexico. Jalapa was entered on the 20th. At Jalapa seven regiments\nof volunteers were discharged, and the American force was too greatly\nreduced to attack the capital. The enforcements promised did not\narrive. The advance, however, was pushed on to Puebla, a city then\nof some seventy thousand inhabitants, which was occupied by Worth on\nthe 15th of May; Lieutenant Longstreet was with the division occupying\nPuebla. Here there was a long wait of weeks for the required forces\nto attack the capital, now less than three marches away. From Jalapa\nScott set out for the front on May 23, arriving at Puebla on the 28th.\nMany of the higher officers rode out to meet and give the General a\nproper reception, and he entered the city in considerable state. \u201cEl\nGeneralissimo! El Generalissimo!\u201d was shouted by the citizens as the\ngeneral-in-chief rode through the streets to his head-quarters. The\narmy welcomed him with enthusiasm.\nIt was at the siege of Vera Cruz and the operations at Cerro Gordo that\nthe engineer officers, R. E. Lee, G. B. McClellan, I. I. Stevens, G.\nT. Beauregard, and others, began to attract the notice of the line.\nTaylor had made little use of engineers in northern Mexico. He largely\ndepended upon his own practised military eye to determine positions,\neither for the offensive or defensive. Scott\u2019s methods were entirely\ndifferent. He depended more upon reconnoissances led by his staff\nengineers, and their reports of situations, approaches, etc. He saw\nlargely through the eyes of these officers, and his fine strategy was\nbased on their information. Hence under Scott the engineer officers\nsoon began to fill a large space in the eyes of the army. They became\nfamiliar figures.\nLongstreet\u2019s personal acquaintanceship with Lee began in this campaign.\nHe was graduated from the Academy, No. 2 of the class of 1829, nine\nyears before Longstreet entered it. Lee was already a captain of\nengineers when Longstreet entered as a cadet in 1838. He was past\nforty when the American forces landed before Vera Cruz. So in years\nhe was much older, as in rank and prestige he was away above the line\nsubalterns of that campaign, many of whom subsequently served under\nhim and against him in 1861-65. He evinced great admiration, even\nreverence, for Scott\u2019s generalship. In after-years his admirers claimed\nthat much of Scott\u2019s glory was due to Lee\u2019s military ability. Scott\ngave him great praise. But while Lee was much respected in the army,\nit is due to say that nobody then ascribed the victories of American\narms to him. Besides which, Colonel Joseph G. Totten was Scott\u2019s\nchief-engineer, and Lee had another superior present in the person of\nMajor J. L. Smith. The army thought General Scott entitled to the full\ncredit of leadership in the campaign of 1847.\nAbout August 14 sufficient reinforcements had arrived to warrant\nanother forward movement. Scott had now about ten thousand men, with\nmore coming on from the coast. His army was composed of four divisions,\ncommanded by Generals Twiggs, Worth, Pillow, and Quitman, the two\nlatter volunteer major-generals. The army began its final advance on\nthe 8th of August, 1847. It had been idle nearly three months, awaiting\nthe action of the government. It was General Longstreet\u2019s opinion\nthat with five thousand more men Scott could have followed Santa Anna\nstraight into Mexico from Cerro Gordo. Owing to dilatoriness in raising\ntroops at home, his active force at Puebla was at one time reduced to\nfive thousand men. The three months\u2019 halt gave the demoralized enemy\ntime to recover courage and recruit their numbers.\nThe American advance from Puebla to the valley of Mexico was over\nthe Rio Frio Mountain. The pass is over eleven thousand feet above\nthe ocean. It was easily susceptible of successful defence, but the\nexperience of the Mexicans at Cerro Gordo probably led their generals\nto conclude that Scott\u2019s strategy was irresistible in a mountain\nregion. At any rate there was no resistance, and after a toilsome\nclimb of three days in the mountains, the Americans debouched into the\nbeautiful valley without firing a shot.\nThis valley is one of the most singular of natural features. It is\nsimply a basin in the mountains without any visible outlet. In seasons\nof heavy rainfall and snowfall on the stupendous mountains which\nsurround it, the small lakes in this basin overflow, and sometimes\ninundate the capital itself. It is only in recent years that a channel,\nor tunnel, has been cut to drain off the superfluous water in time of\nneed. At some time in the past the basin was probably a lake. There\nmust have been some unknown subterranean outlet which originally\ndrained it down and afterwards prevented it refilling. Before the\nartificial drain was made, however, there were indubitable signs that\nthe lakes were much smaller than in the beginning of the sixteenth\ncentury when Cort\u00e9s conquered the Aztec capital. The bed of this valley\nis seven thousand feet above the sea level. There are five shallow\nlakes in the basin. The capital is located on the west side of Lake\nTezcuco. It contained about two hundred thousand people in 1847.\nThe army entered the valley from the east, at first aiming to pass\nbetween Lakes Chalco and Tezcuco, but the fortified hill of El\nPenyon and other obstructions made that approach very difficult, if\nnot impossible, and after the engineers had examined the ground,\nScott concluded to pass around to the southward of Lake Chalco and\nXochimilco. The movement was inaugurated on the 15th of August,\nfour days after entering the valley. On the 17th, the border of\nLake Xochimilco was skirted, and that night Worth bivouacked in San\nAugustin, the Tlalpan of Cort\u00e9s, on the road approaching the capital\nfrom the south and west of the lakes. It became for the time the depot\nand base of the army. These preliminary movements consumed a week\u2019s\ntime.\nCHAPTER VI\nFROM CONTRERAS TO CHAPULTEPEC\n While rushing up the heights of Chapultepec with the regimental\n flag in his hands, Longstreet was severely wounded by a\n musket-ball through the thigh. After Longstreet fell, George E.\n Pickett carried the old Eighth\u2019s flag to the works on the hill\n and to the top of the castle.\nOn the 18th the brilliant action of Contreras was fought. Here Scott\noutman\u0153uvred the enemy completely, employing again the Cerro Gordo\ntactics, and striking him in flank and rear. The routed Mexicans fled\nback to the fortified lines about Churubusco. Many prisoners were\ncaptured at Contreras. The attack was pressed against the position\nof Churubusco on the 19th and 20th, resulting in the severest battle\nof the war, except perhaps Buena Vista. Longstreet\u2019s regiment, the\nEighth Infantry, of which he was adjutant, here distinguished itself,\naiding in the capture of many prisoners and some guns. At one crucial\npoint Longstreet had the proud honor to carry forward the regimental\ncolors mentioned in Worth\u2019s despatches. After the surrender some of the\nprisoners attempted to escape by a rush, and many of them did get away.\nOthers were shot down and some were recaptured. A company of Americans\nwho had deserted the year before from Taylor\u2019s army and joined the\nMexicans were here captured in a body. Their resistance had caused\nsevere loss to the American army. They were tried for desertion, found\nguilty and a score or so of them shot to death.\nScott won Churubusco with less than nine thousand men. The routed enemy\nfled into the city and to the fortified hill of Chapultepec, and were\nfollowed pell mell by the American cavalry. It was in this charge that\nPhil Kearny lost his arm. He was afterwards killed at Chantilly, in\nPope\u2019s campaign of 1862, a Union major-general. The Americans could\ncertainly have entered the city that day on the heels of the flying\nfoe, but Scott thought it wisest to hold back and not disperse the\nMexican government, to give the American peace commissioner, Mr. Trist,\nan opportunity to propose terms. An armistice followed, but the Mexican\ngovernment declined the basis of peace proposed.\nThe Americans were in possession of the whole country practically; at\nleast there was nothing left to successfully oppose their occupation of\nits territory to the farthest limits. Yet after these victories, they\nproposed to take only Texas, New Mexico, and California, and to pay for\nthem a large sum of money. Texas was counted our own before the war\nbegan. The terms of our government were so liberal that the Mexicans\nprobably suspected that there was alarm for the result of future\noperations. Perhaps they judged the terms would be no worse after\nanother trial of arms. And they were not.\nMolino del Rey and Chapultepec followed on September 8 and 13\nrespectively. At the first affair the Americans lost seven hundred\nand eighty-seven men in the two hours of severe fighting, but won a\ncomplete victory, as usual. The fight was made by Worth\u2019s division,\nand Longstreet\u2019s regiment was engaged, of course. Thus far he had got\nthrough without a scratch.\nScott\u2019s army, at the outset not over-large for the contract he had\nundertaken, was now very much reduced, but its morale was still fine.\nIt was a critical question to determine the point of attack on the\ncity. On the 11th there was a council of nearly all the generals and\nengineer officers at Piedad. Major Smith, Captain Lee, and Lieutenants\nTower and Stevens, of the engineers, reported in favor of attacking\nthe San Antonio or southern gate. Generals Quitman, Shields, Pierce,\nand Cadwalader concurred. General Scott, on the contrary, favored the\nChapultepec route, and General Twiggs supported the general-in-chief.\nAlone of the engineers, Lieutenant Beauregard favored the Chapultepec\nroute. After hearing Beauregard\u2019s reasons, General Pierce changed his\nopinion. At the conclusion of the conference General Scott said, \u201cWe\nwill attack Chapultepec and then the western gate.\u201d\n\u201cThe Hill of the Grasshopper,\u201d Chapultepec, is an isolated mound rising\none hundred and fifty to two hundred feet above the valley. Nearly\nprecipitous in some parts, it slopes off gradually to the westward.\nHeavy batteries frowned from its salient positions, sweeping the\napproaches from all directions. To the southward the ground was marshy.\nThe position was regarded by both belligerents as the key to the\ncapital.\nThe American batteries opened fire upon Chapultepec on the 12th,\ncausing great destruction and killing and wounding many of its\ndefenders. The Mexican leader, Santa Anna, a very brave fellow with\nonly one leg, was under this heavy fire for a time, taking observations\nof its effect. On the 13th this fire was resumed, followed by an\nassault of infantry. The volunteers of Quitman and Pillow, led by\npicked storming parties, made the assault on two fronts. The hill was\ncarried with a rush after Scott gave the signal of attack. Pillow\ncalling for reinforcements, Longstreet\u2019s brigade was ordered forward by\nGeneral Worth, and he went into the enemy\u2019s works on the hill with the\nothers.\nLongstreet did not quite reach the works, for while rushing up the\nhill with the regimental flag in his hands he was severely wounded by\na musket-ball through the thigh. The castle, all the enemy\u2019s guns, and\nmany prisoners were captured. General Scott rode to the summit soon\nafter and surveyed the work of his gallant army. It was well done.\nGeneral Worth chased the fleeing enemy to the city\u2019s gates. After\nLongstreet fell George E. Pickett carried the flag to the works on the\nhill, and to the top of the castle. The old Eighth\u2019s flag was hoisted\nfrom the staff which but a month before flaunted the Mexican banner.\nThis was the last action in the valley. There was some fighting at the\ngates, and desultory firing from the houses as the American troops\npushed in, but the city fell without much loss after Chapultepec. The\nMexicans evacuated the capital that night, and General Scott entered\nthe next day. The Mexican War was practically over. In a few months a\ntreaty was made giving the United States about what was demanded by Mr.\nTrist after Churubusco in August, the United States salving up Mexico\u2019s\nwounded pride with fifteen million dollars.\nCHAPTER VII\nLONGSTREET\u2019S HONEYMOON\n After reaching home from Mexico, Longstreet soon regained his\n strength. He then wrote to Colonel John Garland, of Virginia, his\n old brigade commander, asking for his youngest daughter. Colonel\n Garland promptly replied, \u201cYes, with all my heart.\u201d\nWith several wounded comrades Longstreet was assigned quarters with\nthe Escandons, a kind-hearted, refined Mexican family. They could\nnot conceal their deep chagrin at the defeat of their army, and were\ndoubtless mortified by the enforced presence of the wounded Americans.\nNevertheless they insisted that those officers confined to their beds\nshould be supplied from their own table. Delicacies without stint were\nsent. The days of confinement were greatly brightened by their delicate\nattentions. On the 1st of December the accomplished surgeons, Satterlee\nand DeLeon, thought that Longstreet was strong enough to travel, and\nannounced that he was to be ordered out of the country on sick-leave.\nWith others he left Mexico on December 9. A few days later he sailed\nfrom Vera Cruz with a large number of sick and wounded, among whom\nwas Brigadier-General Pierce, who was very popular in the army. After\nreaching home Longstreet soon regained his strength. He then wrote to\nColonel John Garland, of Virginia, his late brigade commander, asking\nfor his youngest daughter. Colonel Garland promptly replied, \u201cYes,\nwith all my heart.\u201d He had won fame in Mexico and returned home on\nleave a month before Longstreet was well enough to travel, and was then\nwith his family. The young lady and her soldier sweetheart already\nhad a pretty good understanding on the subject, and her answer was\nequally flattering. On the 8th of March, 1848, the marriage occurred at\nLynchburg. After a brief honeymoon orders were received from the War\nDepartment detailing Longstreet for recruiting service, with station\nat Poughkeepsie, New York. Before autumn of that year nearly all the\ntroops in Mexico were withdrawn, and the Eighth, Longstreet\u2019s old\nregiment, was ordered to Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis, where he had\nbeen stationed before the war, then a brevet second lieutenant in the\nFourth.\nAfter fifty years General Longstreet found that many of the physical\ndetails of the battle terrain in the valley of Mexico differed quite\nmaterially from the memory conveyed by his younger eyes in the heat\nof action. There was no real change in fixed landmarks, but the\ndepressions were not so deep, nor the impregnable hills the Americans\nattacked so high, as they appeared when the Mexicans were defending\nthem with sword, musket, and cannon. In instants of supreme danger it\nis very difficult for the soldier or subordinate officer to see things\nexactly as they are on a battle-field. His eye and mind are inevitably\nand anxiously concentrated on the enemy or the battery that is dealing\ndeath and destruction round about.\nGREAT BATTLES BEFORE AND AFTER GETTYSBURG[G]\nTHE FIRST MANASSAS\nThe armies that prepared for the first grand conflict of the Civil\nWar were commanded by West Point graduates, both of the Class of\n1838,--Beauregard and McDowell. The latter had been assigned to the\ncommand of the Federal forces at Washington, south of the Potomac,\nin the latter part of May, 1861. The former had assumed command of\nthe Confederates at Manassas Junction about the 1st of June. To him,\nBrigadier-General Longstreet reported for duty.\nMcDowell marched on the afternoon of the 16th of July at the head\nof an army of five divisions of infantry, supplemented by nine\nbatteries of the regular service, one of volunteers, besides two guns\noperating separately, and seven companies of regular cavalry. In his\ninfantry columns were eight companies of regulars and a battalion of\nmarines,--an aggregate of thirty-five thousand men.\nBeauregard stood behind Bull Run with seven brigades, including\nHolmes, who joined on the 19th, twenty-nine guns, and fourteen hundred\ncavalry,--an aggregate of twenty-one thousand nine hundred men, all\nvolunteers. To this should be added, for the battle of the 21st,\nreinforcements aggregating eight thousand five hundred men, under\nGeneral Johnston, making the sum of the aggregate thirty thousand four\nhundred men.\nThe line behind Bull Run was the best between Washington and the\nRapidan for strategy, tactics, and army supplies.\nGeneral Longstreet always believed that by vigorous and concentrated\nwork the Confederates, after the battle of the first Manassas, might\nhave followed McDowell\u2019s fleeing columns into Washington, and held the\ncapital. But this is not a part of my story.\nOn the eve of the battle the Confederates had occasional glimpses\nbehind the lines about Washington, through parties who managed to evade\nthe eyes of guards and sentinels, which told of McDowell\u2019s work since\nMay, and heard on the 10th of July that he was ready to march. Most of\nthe Confederates knew him and of his attainments, as well as those of\nBeauregard, to the credit of the latter, and on that point they were\nsatisfied. But the backing of an organized government, and an army\nled by the foremost American war-chief,--that consummate strategist,\ntactician, and organizer, General Scott,--together with the splendid\nequipment of the field batteries and the presence of the force of\nregulars of infantry, gave serious apprehension.\nA gentleman who was a boy in Washington during the Civil War, said not\nlong ago, in speaking of the first Manassas, that he would never forget\nthe impression made upon his youthful mind by McDowell\u2019s army in moving\ntowards Manassas Junction. Their arms glistened in the sunshine; the\nnew uniforms added to the splendid bearing of the ranks; the horses\nwere garlanded with flowers; the silken folds of regimental flags,\nlifted caressingly by the breezes of mid-summer, made an ocean of\ncolor above the noble columns. It was an inspiring sight; every flag\nin the capital was a beckoning call to arms in the nation\u2019s defence.\nMcDowell\u2019s army seemed setting out for some festal occasion, and gayly\nmoved to the sound of music and song. But oh, what a different sight\nafter Manassas, when his weary and routed columns straggled back to\nWashington, before the victorious Confederates. Their gala day had been\nof short duration.\nOn the 16th of July the Confederates learned that the advance of\nMcDowell\u2019s army was under definite orders for next day. Longstreet\u2019s\nbrigade was at once ordered into position at Blackburn\u2019s Ford, and all\nothers were ordered on the alert.\nAt eight o\u2019clock A.M. on the 18th McDowell\u2019s army concentrated about\nCenterville, his immediate objective being Manassas Junction. His\norders to General Tyler, commanding the advance division, were to look\nwell to the roads on the direct route to Manassas Junction and _via_\nthe Stone Bridge, to impress an advance upon the former, but to have\ncare not to bring on a general engagement.\nUnder the instructions, as General Tyler construed them, he followed\nthe Confederates to the heights of Centerville, overlooking the valley\nof Bull Run, with a squadron of cavalry and two companies of infantry.\nFrom the heights to the Run, a mile away, the field was open, and\npartially disclosed the Confederate position on his right. On the left\nthe view was limited by a sparse growth of spreading pines.\nThe enemy was far beyond the range of Confederate guns, his position\ncommanding as well as his metal, so Longstreet ordered the guns\nwithdrawn to a place of safety, till a fair opportunity was offered\nthem. The guns were limbered and off before a shot reached them.\nArtillery practice of thirty minutes was followed by an advance of\ninfantry. The march was quite up to the bluff overlooking the ford,\nwhen both sides opened fire.\nThe first pouring-down volleys were most startling to the new troops.\nPart of Longstreet\u2019s line broke and started at a run. To stop the\nalarm he rode with sabre in hand for the leading files, determined to\ngive them all that was in the sword and his horse\u2019s heels, or stop the\nbreak. They seemed to see as much danger in their rear as in front, and\nsoon turned and marched back to their places, to the evident surprise\nof the enemy. Heavy firing was renewed in ten or fifteen minutes, when\nthe Federals retired. After about twenty minutes a second advance was\nmade to the top of the bluff, when another rousing fusilade followed,\nand continued about as long as the first, with like result. Longstreet\nreinforced the front line with part of his reserve, and, thinking to\nfollow up his next success, called for one of the regiments of the\nreserve brigade.\nThe combat lasted about an hour, when the Federals withdrew to their\nground about Centerville, to the delight of the Confederates, who felt\nthemselves christened veterans; their artillery being particularly\nproud of the combat against the famed batteries of the United States\nregulars.\nGeneral McDowell\u2019s order for the battle on the 21st of July was issued\non the afternoon of the 20th.\nBeauregard\u2019s order for battle, approved by General Johnston, was issued\nat five A.M. on the 21st.\nThe orders for marching were only preliminary, coupled with the\ncondition that the troops were to be held ready to move, but to wait\nfor special order for action. The brigade at Blackburn\u2019s Ford had been\nreinforced by the Fifth North Carolina and Twenty-fourth Virginia\nRegiments, under Lieutenant Jones and Colonel Kemper. Longstreet\ncrossed the Run under the five o\u2019clock order, adjusted the regiments\nto position for favorable action, and gave instructions for their\nmovements on the opening of the battle.\nThis first clash of arms tested the fighting qualities of the\nConfederates; but the soil was Virginia, and for them it was to be\ndeath or victory.\nThe close of the battle of the 21st found the Federals beaten and\nfleeing towards the shelter of their capital. They had fought\nstubbornly. McDowell made a gallant effort to recover his lost power,\nriding with his troops and urging them to brave effort. Although his\nrenewed efforts were heroic, his men seemed to have given confidence\nover to despair when fight was abandoned and flight ensued. Over the\ncontested field of the first battle of the war, Longstreet had borne\nthe victorious banners of the South.\nWILLIAMSBURG\n \u201cGeneral Longstreet\u2019s clear head and brave heart left no apology\n for interference at Williamsburg.\u201d--JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON.\nThis battle was fairly fought and dearly won by the Confederacy, May\n5, 1862. General Joseph E. Johnston was chief in command and General\nLongstreet had the active direction of the battle.\nIn his official report upon the battle, General Johnston said,--\n \u201cThe action gradually increased in magnitude until about three\n o\u2019clock, when General Longstreet, commanding the rear, requested\n that a part of Major-General Hill\u2019s troops might be sent to his\n aid. Upon this I rode upon the field, but found myself compelled\n to be a spectator, for General Longstreet\u2019s clear head and brave\n heart left no apology for interference.\u201d\nThe battle was fought by Sickles\u2019s Federal Third Corps, that heroically\ncontested every inch of the ground.\nIt was at the close of the battle that General Hancock distinguished\nhimself by holding his position in and about the forts with five\nregiments and two batteries against the assault of the Fifth North\nCarolina and Twenty-fourth Virginia Regiments, and it was on this field\nthat he won the title of \u201cThe Superb,\u201d given to him by McClellan in his\nreport.\nThe object of the battle on the part of the Confederates was to gain\ntime to haul their trains to places of safety. The effect besides\nwas to call two of the Federal divisions from their flanking move to\nsupport the battle, thereby greatly crippling their expedition.\nGeneral McClellan was at Yorktown during most of the day to see several\nof the divisions of his army aboard the transports for his proposed\nflanking and rear move up York River. Upon receiving advice that the\nWilliamsburg engagement was serious and unsatisfactory, he hastened to\nthe battle with the divisions of Sedgwick and Richardson, which he had\nexpected to send up the river.\nThere were about nine thousand Confederates and twelve thousand Union\ntroops engaged. The Confederate casualties were 1565; the Federal\ncasualties, 2288. Johnston had anticipated McClellan\u2019s move up the York\nRiver, and considered it very important to cripple or break it up.\nTherein he used the divisions of Longstreet, Magruder, D. R. Jones,\nMcLaws, G. W. Smith, and D. H. Hill.\nThere was a tremendous downpour of rain the night before the battle,\nflooding thoroughfares, by-ways, woodlands, and fields so that many of\nthe Confederate trains were unable next day to move out of the bogs\nthat were developed during the night.\nGeneral Hooker\u2019s division of the Third Corps, on the Federal side, came\nto the open on the Hampton road, and engaged by regiments,--the First\nMassachusetts on the left, the Second New Hampshire on the right.\nAfter the advance of his infantry in the slashes, General Hooker, with\nthe Eleventh Massachusetts and Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania, cleared the\nway for communication with the troops on the Yorktown road and ordered\nWebber\u2019s six-gun battery into action. As it burst from the woods\nthrough which it had come, the Confederate infantry and every gun in\nreach opened upon it a fire so destructive that it was unmanned before\nit came into practice. New Federal troops immediately came to the\nrescue, and the guns reopened fire. Osborn\u2019s and Bramhall\u2019s batteries\njoined in, and the two poured an unceasing fire into the Confederate\ntroops about the fort and redoubts. The Fifth New Jersey Regiment was\nadded to the battery guard, and the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth were\ndeployed on the left in the woodland. The brigades of R. H. Anderson,\nWilcox, Pryor, A. P. Hill, and Pickett were taking care of the\nConfederate side.\nGeneral Longstreet, hearing the swelling noise of battle, rode to the\nfront and ordered Colston\u2019s brigade and the batteries of Deering and\nStribling to follow, as well as Stuart\u2019s horse artillery under Pelham.\nIt soon became evident that the fight was for the day. D. H. Hill was\nasked to return with the balance of his division. Hooker was bracing\nthe fight on his left. He directed Emory to reconnoitre on his extreme\nleft. Grover was called to reinforce the fighting in the edge of\nthe woods. Several New York regiments came into the action, but the\nConfederates nevertheless continued to gain ground until they got\nshort of ammunition. While holding their line, some of the regiments\nretired a little to fill their cartridge-boxes from those of the\nfallen enemy and their fallen comrades. This move was misconstrued\ninto an order to withdraw, and the Confederate line fell back, but the\nmistake was soon discovered and the lost ground regained. The Eleventh\nMassachusetts, Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania, and Second New Hampshire\ncame into the action. On the Confederate side, Colston\u2019s brigade, the\nFlorida regiment, and the Mississippi battalion came to the rescue,\nand General Anderson, who was in immediate charge, grouped his forces,\nmade a concentrated move upon the Federal batteries, cleared them of\nthe gunners, and captured four of Webber\u2019s guns and forty horses.\nGeneral Stuart rode up about this time, decided that the Federals were\nin retreat, and insisted upon a charge and pursuit. He was, however,\nconvinced that Federal reinforcements were coming up and that the break\nwas only of their front line. About three o\u2019clock Kearny\u2019s division\ncame to the Federal aid.\nBefore the reinforcements arrived for Hooker\u2019s relief, Anderson had\nestablished his advanced line of skirmishers so as to cover with their\nfire Webber\u2019s guns that were abandoned. The Federal reinforcing column\ndrove back his advance lines; then he reinforced and recovered his\nground. Then he met General Peck, the leader of the last reinforcing\nbrigade, who put in his last regiment, the Ninety-eighth Pennsylvania;\nbut the night was approaching, both armies were exhausted, and little\nfurther aggressive work was done.\nFRAYSER\u2019S FARM\nStonewall Jackson was in the Shenandoah Valley and the rest of the\nConfederate troops were east and north of Richmond. In front General\nMcClellan\u2019s army was encamped, a hundred thousand strong, about the\nChickahominy River preparing for a regular siege of the Confederate\ncapital. His army was unassailable from the front, and he had a small\nforce at Mechanicsville and a much larger force farther back at Beaver\nDam Creek.\nA Confederate conference was called. Longstreet suggested that Jackson\nbe called down from the Valley to the rear of the Federal right, in\norder to turn the position behind Beaver Dam, and that the rest of\nthe Confederate forces who were to engage in the attack cross the\nChickahominy and get ready for action. General Lee then sent General J.\nE. B. Stuart on his famous ride around McClellan. He made a favorable\nreport of the situation. Upon further conference, the 26th was selected\nas the day for moving upon the Federal position at Beaver Dam. There\nwas some spirited fighting between the two armies, but the advance of\nJackson, which had been some time delayed, made the Federals abandon\ntheir position at Beaver Dam. They were closely followed, and were\nagain encountered at Gaines Mill, where battle followed.\nLongstreet came up with reserve forces, and was preparing to support\nHill, when he was ordered by General Lee to make a demonstration\nagainst the Federal left. He threw in three brigades, and for a time\nthe battle raged with great fierceness. General Jackson could not reach\nthe point of attack, and General Lee ordered Longstreet to throw in all\nthe force he could. The position in front of him was very strong. An\nopen field led to a difficult ravine beyond Powhite Creek. From there\nthe ground made a steep ascent, and was covered with trees, slashed\ntimber, and hastily made rifle-trenches. General Whiting came up with\ntwo brigades of Jackson\u2019s men. Longstreet\u2019s column of attack then was\nthe brigades of R. H. Anderson and Pickett and the divisions of Law,\nHood, and Whiting. They attacked and defeated the Federals on their\nleft and captured many thousand stands of arms, fifty-two pieces of\nartillery, a large quantity of supplies, and many prisoners, among them\nGeneral Reynolds, who afterwards fell at Gettysburg.\nOn the 29th General Lee ascertained that McClellan was marching towards\nthe James, and decided to intercept his forces in the neighborhood of\nCharles City Cross-Roads. Longstreet was to march to a point below\nFrayser\u2019s Farm with General A. P. Hill. Holmes was to take up position\nbelow on the New Market road; Jackson was to pursue the Federal rear;\nHuger to attend to the Federal right flank. Thus the Federal rear was\nto be enveloped and a part of McClellan\u2019s army destroyed. Longstreet\nfound himself in due time in front of General McCall with a division\nof ten thousand Federals near Frayser\u2019s Farm. Finally artillery firing\nwas heard, which was taken for the expected signal for the beginning of\nbattle, and Longstreet\u2019s batteries replied as the signal that he was\nready. While the order was going around to the batteries, President\nDavis and General Lee, with their staff and followers, were with\nLongstreet in a little open field near the firing lines, but not in\nsight of the Federals.\nThe Federal batteries opened up spitefully. They did not know of the\ndistinguished Confederates near by, yet a battery had by chance their\nexact range and distance, and poured a terrific fire in their midst.\nThe second or third shell killed two or three horses and wounded\nseveral men. The little party speedily retired to safer quarters.\nLongstreet sent Colonel Micah Jenkins to silence the Federal battery\nwith his long-range rifles. He charged the battery, and that brought on\na general fight between Longstreet\u2019s division and the troops in front.\nThe Federal lines were broken and a number of batteries taken. At\npoints during the day McCall several times regained his lost position.\nHe was finally pushed back. At length McCall\u2019s division was driven off\nand fresh troops came to the Federal relief. Ten thousand men of A. P.\nHill\u2019s division, held in reserve, were now brought into action.\nAbout dark General McCall, while looking up a fragment of his\ndivision, ran into Longstreet\u2019s arms and was taken prisoner. General\nLee was there at the time. Longstreet had served with McCall in the\nold Fourth Infantry, and offered his hand as McCall dismounted. The\nFederal general did not regard this as an occasion for renewing old\nfriendships, and he was promptly offered an escort of Longstreet\u2019s\nstaff to take him to Richmond.\nMARCH AGAINST POPE AND THE SECOND MANASSAS\nEven as early as 1862 the Union army had been using balloons to\nexamine the position of the Confederates, and even that early, the\nscanty resources of the Confederates made the use of balloons a luxury\nthat could not be afforded. While gazing enviously upon the handsome\nballoons of the Federals floating serenely at a distance that their\nguns could not reach, a Confederate genius suggested that all the silk\ndresses in the Confederacy be got together and made into balloons. This\nwas done, and soon a great patch-work ship of many and varied hues\nwas ready for use. There was no gas except in Richmond, and so the\nsilk-dress balloon had to be inflated there, tied to an engine, and\ncarried to where it was to be sent up. One day it was on a steamer down\nthe James River, when the tide went out and left the vessel and balloon\non a sand-bar. The Federals gathered it in, and with it the last silk\ndress in the Confederacy. General Longstreet used to say, laughingly,\nthat this was the meanest trick of the war.\nWhen General Pope came down into Virginia as Federal\ncommander-in-chief, with the double purpose of drawing McClellan away\nfrom Westover and checking the advance of the new enemy approaching\nfrom Washington, General Lee sent Stonewall Jackson to Gordonsville and\nordered General Longstreet to remain near Richmond to engage McClellan\nif he should attempt an advance on that city. On the 9th of August,\n1862, Jackson encountered the Federals near Cedar Mountain and repulsed\nthem at what is known as the battle of Cedar Run. About five o\u2019clock\nin the afternoon of this fight the Federals, by a well-executed move,\nwere pressing the Confederates back, when the opportune approach of two\nbrigades converted seeming defeat into victory. The Federals were more\nnumerous than the Confederates, and Jackson deemed it unwise to follow\nin pursuit, so the Confederates retired behind the Rapidan to await the\narrival of General Lee with other forces.\nGeneral Lee then began preparations for a vigorous campaign against\nGeneral Pope. On the 13th of August Longstreet\u2019s corps was ordered to\nGordonsville, and General Lee accompanied it there. General Jackson\u2019s\ntroops were near by. The Rapidan River was to the north. Farther on\nat Culpeper Court-House was the army of Pope, and the Rappahannock\nRiver was beyond them. Clark\u2019s Mountain, rising several hundred feet\nabove the surrounding hills, was a little in advance of Longstreet\u2019s\nposition. The Federal situation was observed from the summit of this\nmountain.\nThe flags of Pope\u2019s army were in full view above the tops of the trees\naround Culpeper Court-House. General Lee was very anxious to give\nbattle as soon as possible, but operations were in some way delayed\nuntil General Pope captured a despatch from Lee to Stewart containing\ninformation of the contemplated advance. Pope then withdrew to a\nstronger position behind the Rappahannock River. Longstreet approached\nthe Rappahannock at Kelly\u2019s Ford, and Jackson approached higher up at\nBeverly Ford, near the Orange and Alexandria bridge. They found Pope in\nan almost unassailable position, with heavy reinforcements summoned to\nhis aid.\nThe Confederate idea was to force a passage and make the attack before\nreinforcements could reach Pope. Some sharp marching to this end was\ndone by Longstreet and Jackson. On the 23d Longstreet had a spirited\nartillery combat at Beverly Ford with a Federal force. The Federals\nhad the superior position, the better guns; the Confederates had more\nguns, and fought with accustomed persistence. Before night the Federals\nwithdrew. Incidentally, they set fire to a number of farm-houses in\nthe locality. Henry W. Grady, afterwards a distinguished Georgian, who\nwas a small boy during the war, frequently said that one of the worst\nthings about the Union forces was the carelessness with which they\nhandled fire.\nPope was meanwhile on the alert, and Lee found it impracticable to\nattack him in his stronghold behind the Rappahannock. Lee then decided\nto change his plan of operations by sending Jackson off on a long\nmarch to the rear of the Federal army while keeping Longstreet with\nthirty thousand men in front to receive any attack that might be\nmade. Jackson crossed the Rappahannock at Hinson\u2019s Hill, four miles\nabove Waterloo Bridge, and that night encamped at Salem. The next\nday he passed through Thoroughfare Gap, moved on by Gainesville, and\nwhen the sun next set he was in the rear of Pope\u2019s army and between\nit and Washington. The sudden appearance of his army gave much\nterror to the Federals in the vicinity; when he arrived at Bristoe\nStation just before night the Federal guard at that point sought\nsafer quarters, and two trains of cars coming from towards Warrenton\nwere captured. Jackson sent a force forward seven miles and captured\nManassas Junction. He left a force at Bristoe Station and proceeded\nhimself to the Junction. During the afternoon the Federals attacked the\nConfederates at Bristoe Station in such force as to make it appear that\nPope had discovered the situation and was moving upon Jackson with his\nentire army. The Confederates then hastened away from Bristoe Station\nand the Federals halted there. Jackson\u2019s forces then moved over to a\nposition north of the turnpike leading from Warrenton to Alexandria,\nand there awaited results.\nOn the evening of the 28th King\u2019s division attacked Jackson, but was\nrepulsed. That same evening Longstreet arrived at Thoroughfare Gap.\nDuring the time of Jackson\u2019s march he had been engaging Pope\u2019s army at\ndifferent points along the Rappahannock, to impress them with the idea\nthat he was attempting to force a passage in front and with the hope of\npreventing his discovery of Jackson\u2019s movement. Pope was not deceived,\nhowever, but turned his army to meet Jackson\u2019s daring and unexpected\nmove. Longstreet decided to follow at once. To force a passage of the\nriver, much swollen by recent rains, seemed impossible, and so he took\nthe route by which Jackson had gone. Finding that Thoroughfare Gap was\nunoccupied, he went into bivouac on the west side of the mountain and\nsent a brigade under Anderson to occupy the pass.\nAs the Confederates approached from one side, Ricketts\u2019s division of\nFederals approached from the other and took possession of the east\nside. Thoroughfare Gap is a rough pass in the Bull Run Mountains, in\nsome places not more than a hundred yards wide. A swift stream rushes\nthrough it, and the mountains rise on both sides several hundred feet\nabove. On the north the face of the Gap is almost perpendicular; the\nsouth face is less precipitous, but is covered with tangled mountain\nivy and projecting boulders; the position, occupied by a small force,\nwas unassailable. The interposition of Ricketts\u2019s division at this\nmountain pass showed a disposition to hold Longstreet back while\noverwhelming Jackson. This necessitated prompt and vigorous measures by\nLongstreet. Three miles north was Hopewell Gap, and it was necessary\nto get possession of this in advance of the Federals to provide for a\nflank movement while forcing the way by foot-paths over the mountain\nheights of Thoroughfare Gap. During the night Longstreet sent Wilcox\nwith three brigades to Hopewell Gap, while he sent Hood and his forces\nby a trail over the mountain at Thoroughfare.\nTo the great delight of the Confederates, in the morning it was\ndiscovered that Ricketts had given up the east side of the Gap and\nwas going towards Manassas Junction. Longstreet\u2019s corps then went\nalong unimpeded. Hearing the artillery combat around Gainesville, they\nquickened their steps. As the fire became more spirited their movements\nbecame more rapid. Passing through Gainesville, they filed to the left\ndown the turnpike, and soon came in sight of the Federal troops held\nat bay by Jackson. They were on the left and rear of the Federals; the\nartillery was ordered up for action, but the advance was discovered,\nand the Federals withdrew from attack and retired behind Groveton on\ndefensive ground. The battalion of Washington Artillery was thrown\nforward to a favorable position on Jackson\u2019s right, and Longstreet\u2019s\ngeneral line was deployed so as to extend it to the right some distance\nbeyond the Manassas Gap Railroad.\nThe two great armies were now face to face, both in good positions,\neach anxious to find a point for an entering wedge into the stronghold\nof the adversary. What troubled the Confederates was the unknown\nnumber of Federals at Manassas Junction. Each side watched the\nmovements of the other until the day was far spent. Orders were\ngiven for a Confederate advance under the cover of night until the\nmain position of the enemy could be more carefully examined by the\nearliest light of the next day. It so happened that a similar order\nwas issued at the same time by the Federals, and the result was a\nspirited engagement, which was a surprise to both sides. Longstreet\u2019s\ncorps was, however, successful, so far, at least, as to capture a\npiece of artillery and make reconnoissance before midnight. The next\nday Longstreet did not deem an attack wise, and the Confederate forces\nwere ordered back to their original positions. Then each side was\napprehensive that the other was going to get away.\nPope telegraphed to Washington that Longstreet was in full retreat and\nhe was preparing to follow; while Longstreet, thinking Pope was trying\nto escape, was arranging to move to the left across Bull Run, so as\nto get over on the Little River pike and between Pope and Washington.\nJust before nine o\u2019clock that day (the 30th) Pope\u2019s artillery began to\nplay a little, and some of his infantry was seen in motion. Longstreet\nconstrued this as a display to cover his movements to the rear. Later\na large division of Pope\u2019s army began an attack on the left along\nthe whole of Jackson\u2019s line. Pope evidently supposed that Longstreet\nwas gone, and intended to crush Jackson with a terrific onslaught.\nLongstreet was meanwhile looking for a place to get in. Riding along\nthe front of his line, he could plainly see the Federals as they rushed\nin heavy masses against Jackson\u2019s obstinate ranks. It was a splendidly\norganized attack.\n[Illustration: DEFEAT OF THE FEDERAL TROOPS BY LONGSTREET\u2019S CORPS,\nSECOND MANASSAS.]\nLongstreet received a request from Jackson for reinforcements, and\nabout the same time an order from General Lee to the same effect.\nLongstreet quickly ordered out three batteries. Lieutenant Chapman\u2019s\nDixie Battery of four guns was the first to report, and was placed in\nposition to rake the Federal ranks. In a moment a heavy fire of shot\nand shell was poured into the thick columns of the Federals, and in ten\nminutes their stubborn masses began to waver. For a moment there was\nchaos; then there was order, and they reformed to renew the attack.\nMeanwhile, Longstreet\u2019s other eight pieces had begun deadly work. The\nFederal ranks broke again and again, only to be reformed with dogged\ndetermination.\nA third time the Longstreet batteries tore the Federals to pieces, and\nas they fell back under this terrible fire Longstreet\u2019s troops leaped\nforward with the famous rebel yell. They pressed onward until, at ten\no\u2019clock at night, they had the field. Pope was across Bull Run and the\nvictorious Confederates lay down to sleep on the battle-ground, while\naround them thousands of friend and foe slept the last sleep together.\nThe next morning the Federals were in a strong position at Centerville.\nLongstreet sent a brigade across Bull Run under General Pryor to occupy\na point near Centerville. General Lee ordered Jackson to cross Bull\nRun near Sudley\u2019s and turn the position of the Federals occupying\nCenterville. On the next day (September 1) Longstreet followed, but\nthe Federals discovered the move, abandoned Centerville, and started\ntowards Washington. On that evening a part of the Federal force at Ox\nHill encountered Jackson and gave him a sharp fight. Longstreet went to\nJackson\u2019s rescue.\nWith the coming darkness it was difficult to distinguish between the\nscattered ranks of the opposing armies. General Philip Kearny, a\nmagnificent Federal officer, rode hastily up looking for the broken\nlines of his command. At first he did not know that he was in the\nConfederate line, and the Confederates did not notice that he was a\nFederal. He began quietly to inquire about some command, and was soon\nrecognized. He was called upon to surrender, but instead of doing so\nhe wheeled his horse, pressed spurs to his sides, lay flat on the\nanimal\u2019s neck, and dashed away like the wind. A dozen shots rang out,\nand in less time than it takes to tell the story the heroic Kearny fell\ndead. He had been in the army all his life; the Confederate generals\nwho had formerly been in the Union army knew him; Longstreet loved him\nwell; General A. P. Hill, who was standing by, said, sorrowfully, \u201cPoor\nKearny! he deserved a better death than this.\u201d The next day his body\nwas sent over the lines with a flag of truce and a note from General\nLee referring tenderly to the manner in which he had met his death. The\nFederal forces which had been fighting the Ox Hill battle proved to be\nthe rear guard covering the retreat of the Federals into Washington.\nTHE INVASION OF MARYLAND AND THE BATTLE OF ANTIETAM\nGeneral Longstreet always thought that the division of the Confederate\narmy after they moved into Maryland proved their downfall. This,\nhowever, is not a part of my story.\nAt this time General Pope had been relieved and General McClellan\nrestored to the command of the Union army. With ninety thousand troops,\nhe marched towards Antietam to avenge the second Manassas.\nGeneral D. H. Hill was at South Mountain with five thousand men;\nLongstreet\u2019s First Corps was at Hagerstown, thirteen miles farther on;\nGeneral Lee was with him, and on the night of the 13th of September,\n1862, information was received that McClellan was at the foot of South\nMountain with his great army. It was decided to withdraw the forces\nof Longstreet and Hill from their respective positions and unite\nat Sharpsburg, which afforded a strong defensive position. On the\nafternoon of the 15th of September the commands of Longstreet and Hill\ncrossed the Antietam Creek and took position in front of Sharpsburg,\nLongstreet on the right and Hill on the left. They soon found their\nweak point was on the left at the famous Dunkard Church. Hood, with\ntwo brigades, was put to guard that point. That night, after the fall\nof Harper\u2019s Ferry, General Lee ordered Stonewall Jackson to come to\nSharpsburg as quickly as possible.\nOn the forenoon of the 15th the blue uniforms of the Federals appeared\namong the trees that crowned the heights on the eastern bank of the\nAntietam. Their numbers increased in proportions distressing to their\nopponents, who were shattered by repeated battles, tired by long\nmarches, and fed most meagrely. On the 16th Jackson arrived and took\nposition on Longstreet\u2019s left. Before night the Federals attacked, but\nwere driven back. Hood was ordered to replenish his ammunition during\nthe night and resume his position on Longstreet\u2019s right in the morning.\nGeneral Jackson\u2019s forces were extended to the left, and reached well\nback towards the Potomac, where most of the Confederate cavalry was.\nGeneral Robert Toombs was placed as guard on the bridge at Longstreet\u2019s\nright.\nOn the Federal side General Hooker, who had been driven back in the\nafternoon, was reinforced by the corps of Sumner and Mansfield; Sykes\u2019s\ndivision was also drawn into position for battle; Burnside was over\nagainst Longstreet\u2019s right threatening the passage of the Antietam.\nOn the morning of the 17th the Federals were in good position and in\ngood condition. Back of McClellan\u2019s line was a high ridge, upon which\nhe had a signal-station overlooking every point of the field. D. R.\nJones\u2019s brigades of Longstreet\u2019s command deployed on the right of the\nSharpsburg pike, while Hood\u2019s brigades awaited orders; D. H. Hill was\non the left towards the Hagerstown-Sharpsburg pike; Jackson extended\nout from Hill\u2019s left towards the Potomac.\nThe battle opened heavily with attacks by Hooker, Mansfield, and Sumner\nagainst Longstreet\u2019s left centre, which consisted of Jackson\u2019s right\nand D. H. Hill\u2019s left. So persistent were the attacks that Longstreet\nsent Hood to support the Confederate centre. The Confederates were\nforced back somewhat; McClellan\u2019s forces continued the attacks; the\nline swayed forward and back like a rope exposed to rushing currents;\na weak point would be driven back and then the Confederate fragments\nwould be collected and the lost ground recovered; the battle ebbed and\nflowed with fearful slaughter on both sides. The Federals came forward\nwith wonderful courage, and the Confederates heroically held their\nground, while they were mown down like grass.\nHow Lee\u2019s ragged army withstood McClellan\u2019s troops no one will ever\nbe able to tell. Hood\u2019s ammunition gave out; he retired for a fresh\nsupply; the Federals continued to come up in great masses. At one\npoint, under the crest of a hill occupying a position that from four\nto six brigades should have held, there were only the stranded troops\nof Cooke\u2019s regiment of North Carolina Infantry, who were without a\ncartridge. As Longstreet rode along the line of his staff, he saw\ntwo pieces of Washington Artillery (Miller\u2019s battery), but there\nwere not enough men to handle them. The gunners had all been killed\nor wounded--and this was the Confederate centre. Longstreet held the\nhorses of his staff-officers, put them to man the guns, and calmly\nsurveyed the situation. He saw that if the Federals broke through\nthe line at that point the Confederate army would be cut in two and\nprobably destroyed. Cooke sent him word that his ammunition was\nentirely out. Longstreet replied that he must hold his position as\nlong as he had a man left. Cooke responded that he would show his\ncolors as long as there was left a man alive to hold them up. The two\nguns were rapidly loaded with canister by the staff-officers, and they\nrattled leaden hail into the Federals as they came up over the crest\nof the hill. That little battery, with superhuman energy, had to hold\nthousands of Federals at bay, or the whole battle would be lost.\nThe Confederates sought to make the Federals believe that many\nbatteries were before them. As they came up, they would see the colors\nof Cooke\u2019s North Carolina regiment waving as placidly as if the whole\nof Lee\u2019s army were back of them, while a shower of canister came from\nthe two lonely guns. General Chilton, General Lee\u2019s chief of staff,\nmade his way to Longstreet and asked, \u201cWhere are the troops you are\nholding your line with?\u201d Longstreet pointed to his two pieces and to\nCooke\u2019s regiment, and replied, \u201cThere they are; but that regiment\nhasn\u2019t a cartridge.\u201d Chilton, dumb with astonishment, rode back to tell\nthe story to General Lee. Then an enfilade fire from General D. H.\nHill\u2019s line ploughed the ground across the Federal front and kept them\nback; meanwhile, R. H. Anderson and General Hood came to the support\nof this fearfully pushed Confederate centre. In a little while another\nFederal assault was made against D. H. Hill and extending far to the\nConfederate left, where McLaws and Walker were supporting Jackson.\nIn this fearful combat the lines swung back and forth, the Federals\nattacking with invincible motion and the Confederates holding their\npositions with irresistible force.\nMeanwhile, General Lee was over towards the right, where Burnside was\nmaking the attack. General Toombs, assigned as guard at that point,\nhad only four hundred weary and footsore soldiers to meet the Federal\nNinth Corps, which pressed the brave little band slowly back. The\ndelay that Toombs caused, however, saved that part of the battle, for\nat the last moment A. P. Hill came in to reinforce him and D. H. Hill\ndiscovered a place for a battery and lost no time in opening it. Thus\nthe Confederates drove the Federals back, and when night settled down\nthe army of Lee was still in possession of the field. But it was a\nvictory that was not a victory, for thousands of Confederates were\ndead on the field and gallant commands had been torn into fragments.\nNearly one-fourth of the troops who went into the battle were killed or\nwounded. This day has been well called the bloodiest day of the Civil\nWar.\nGeneral Longstreet was fond of telling how during the battle he\nand General Lee were riding along his line and D. H. Hill\u2019s when\nthey started up a hill to make a reconnoissance. Lee and Longstreet\ndismounted, but Hill remained on his horse. General Longstreet said\nto Hill, \u201cIf you insist on riding up there and drawing the fire, give\nus time to get out of the line of the fire when they open up anew.\u201d\nWhile they were all standing there viewing with their glasses the\nFederal movements, Longstreet noticed a puff of white smoke from a\nFederal cannon. He called to Hill, \u201cThat shot is for you.\u201d The gunner\nwas a mile away, but the cannon-shot took off the front legs of Hill\u2019s\nhorse. The horse\u2019s head was so low and his croup so high that Hill was\nin a very ludicrous position. With one foot in the stirrup he made\nseveral efforts to get the other leg over the croup, but failed. Lee\nand Longstreet yelled at him to dismount from the other end of the\nhorse, and so he got down. He had a third horse shot under him before\nthe close of the battle. General Longstreet said that that shot at Hill\nwas the second best shot he ever saw. The best was at Yorktown, where a\nFederal officer came out in front of the Confederate line, sat down to\na little platting table, and began to make a map. A Confederate officer\ncarefully sighted a cannon, touched it off, and dropped a shell into\nthe lap of the man at the little table a mile or more away.\nAfter the battle closed, parties from both sides, by mutual consent,\nwent in search of fallen comrades.\nAfter riding along the lines, giving instructions for the night and\nmorning, General Longstreet rode for general head-quarters to make\nreport, but was delayed somewhat, finding wounded men hidden away under\nstone walls and in fence-corners, not yet looked after, and afterwards\nin assisting a family whose home had been fired by a shell, so that all\nthe other officers had arrived, made their reports, and were lounging\nabout on the sod when General Longstreet rode up. General Lee walked up\nas he dismounted, threw his hands upon his shoulders, and hailed him\nwith, \u201cHere is my old war-horse at last!\u201d\nFREDERICKSBURG\nWhen General Lee learned that General McClellan had been succeeded by\nGeneral Burnside, he expressed regret at having to part with McClellan,\nbecause, he said, \u201cWe always understood each other so well. I fear they\nmay continue to make these changes till they find some one whom I don\u2019t\nunderstand.\u201d\nThe Federal army was encamped around Warrenton, Virginia, and was\ndivided into three grand divisions, under Generals Sumner, Hooker, and\nFranklin. Lee\u2019s army was on the opposite side of the Rappahannock\nRiver, divided into two corps, the First commanded by General\nLongstreet and the Second by General Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson.\nAt that time the Confederate army extended from Culpeper Court-House,\nwhere the First Corps was stationed, across the Blue Ridge, down the\nValley of Virginia, to Winchester, where Jackson was encamped with the\nSecond Corps. Information was received about the 19th of November that\nSumner with his grand division of more than thirty thousand men was\nmoving towards Fredericksburg. Two of General Longstreet\u2019s divisions\nwere ordered down to meet him. After a forced march they arrived on the\nhills around Fredericksburg about three o\u2019clock on the afternoon of the\n21st (November, 1862). Sumner had already arrived, and was encamped on\nStafford Heights overlooking the town from the Federal side.\nAbout the 26th it became evident that Fredericksburg would be the scene\nof a battle, and Longstreet advised the people who were still in town\nto leave. A previous threat from the Federal forces that they might\nhave to shell the town had already forced many to leave. Distressed\nwomen, little children, aged and helpless men, many of them destitute\nand with nowhere to go, trudged away as best they could. Soon the\nremainder of Longstreet\u2019s corps came up from Culpeper Court-House, and\nit was then known that all the Army of the Potomac was in motion for\nthe prospective scene of battle, when Jackson was drawn down from the\nBlue Ridge. In a short time the Army of Northern Virginia was face to\nface with the Army of the Potomac. On the Confederate side nearest\nthe Rappahannock was Taylor\u2019s Hill, and South of it Marye\u2019s Hill;\nnext, Telegraph Hill, the highest Confederate elevation, afterwards\nknown as Lee\u2019s Hill, because General Lee was there during the battle.\nLongstreet\u2019s head-quarters in the field were there. Next was a\ndeclination through which Deep Run Creek passed on to the Rappahannock,\nand next was Hamilton\u2019s Crossing, upon which Stonewall Jackson massed\nthirty thousand men. Upon these hills the Confederates prepared to\nreceive Burnside whenever he might choose to cross the Rappahannock.\nThe Federals occupied the noted Stafford Heights beyond the river, and\nhere they carefully matured their plans of advance and attack. General\nHunt, chief of artillery, skilfully posted one hundred and forty-seven\nguns to cover the bottoms upon which the infantry was to form for the\nattack, and at the same time play upon the Confederate batteries.\nFranklin and Hooker had joined Sumner, and the Federal army were\none hundred and sixteen thousand strong. The Federals had been seen\nalong the banks of the river investigating the best places to cross.\nPresident Lincoln had been down with General Halleck, who had suggested\nthat a crossing be made at Hoop-Pole Ferry, about twenty-eight or\nthirty miles below Fredericksburg. The Confederates discovered this\nmovement, and it was then abandoned. There were sixty-five thousand\nConfederates well located upon the various hills on the other side\nof the river. Anderson, McLaws, Ransom, Hood, A. P. and D. H. Hill,\nLongstreet, Stonewall Jackson, and the great Robert E. Lee himself were\nall there.\nOn the morning of the 11th of December, 1862, an hour or so before\ndaybreak, the slumbering Confederates were awakened by a cannon\nthundering on the heights of Marye\u2019s Hill. It was recognized as the\nsignal of the Washington Artillery, and it told that the Federal\ntroops were preparing to cross the Rappahannock and give battle. The\nFederals came down to the river and began to build their bridges, when\nBarksdale and his heroic Mississippians opened fire, which forced them\nto retire. The Federals then turned their whole artillery force on\nFredericksburg, demolishing the houses with a cyclone of fire. The\nonly offence of the little town was that it was situated where the\nbattle raged. The little band of Mississippians kept up their work, and\nlike so many angry hornets stung the whole Army of the Potomac into\nfrenzy. Longstreet ordered Barksdale to withdraw, and the Federals\nthen constructed their pontoons without molestation, and the next\nday Sumner\u2019s grand division passed over into Fredericksburg; General\nFranklin\u2019s grand division passed over on pontoon bridges lower down\nand massed on the level bottoms opposite Hamilton\u2019s Crossing, in front\nof Stonewall Jackson\u2019s corps. Opposite Fredericksburg the formation\nalong the river bank was such that the Federals were concealed in their\napproaches, and they thereby succeeded in getting over and concealing\nthe grand division of Sumner and a part of Hooker\u2019s grand division in\nFredericksburg, and so disposing of Franklin in the open plain below\nas to give out the impression that the great force was there to oppose\nJackson.\nBefore daylight of the eventful 13th Longstreet rode to the right\nof his line, held by Hood\u2019s division, which was in hearing of the\nFederals who were marching their troops to the attack on Jackson.\nLongstreet ordered Hood, in case Jackson\u2019s line should be broken, to\nwheel around to his right and strike in on the attacking bodies, while\nhe ordered Pickett with his division to join in the flank movement. He\ntold them at the same time that he himself would be attacked near his\nleft centre, that he would be personally at that point, and that his\nposition was so well defended that he would not need their troops. He\nreturned to Lee\u2019s Hill soon after sunrise.\nThere was a thick fog that morning, and the preparations of the\nFederals were concealed thereby. The Confederates grimly awaited the\nonslaught. About ten o\u2019clock the sun burst through the fog and revealed\nthe mighty panorama in the valley below. Franklin\u2019s forty thousand\nmen, reinforced by two divisions of Hooker\u2019s grand division, were in\nfront of Jackson\u2019s thirty thousand. The flags of the Federals fluttered\ngayly, their polished arms shone brightly, and the beautiful uniforms\nof the buoyant troops gave a holiday air to the scene. A splendid\narray it was. Awaiting their approach was Jackson\u2019s ragged infantry,\nand beyond was Stuart\u2019s battered cavalry. The majority of the Federal\ntroops were in Fredericksburg almost in reach of the Confederate guns.\nThere was some lively firing between a part of Franklin\u2019s command and\na part of Stuart\u2019s Horse Artillery under Major John Pelham. Franklin\nadvanced rapidly towards Jackson; silently Jackson awaited his approach\nuntil within good range, and then opened with a terrific fire, which\nthrew the Federals into some confusion. The Federals again massed and\nadvanced, and pressed through a gap in Jackson\u2019s line. Then they came\nupon Gregg\u2019s brigade, and a severe encounter ensued in which Gregg was\nmortally wounded. The concentration of the divisions of Taliaferro and\nEarly against this attack drove the Federals back.\nOn the Confederate side near the town was a stone wall, shoulder high.\nBehind this stone wall Longstreet had placed General T. R. R. Cobb\u2019s\nbrigade and a portion of the brigade of General Kershaw,--about two\nthousand five hundred men in all. To reach Longstreet\u2019s weakest point\nthe Federals had to pass directly over this wall.\nJust before noon Longstreet sent orders to all his batteries to open\nfire as a diversion in favor of Jackson. This fire began at once\nto develop work for Longstreet. The Federal troops swarmed out of\nFredericksburg and came in double-quick towards Cobb\u2019s wall. From the\nmoment of their appearance fearful carnage began. The Confederate\nartillery from the front, right, and left tore through their ranks,\nbut the Federals pressed forward with almost invincible determination.\nThus they marched upon the stone fence behind which Cobb\u2019s brigade\nwas quietly waiting. When the Federals came within its reach they\nwere swept from the field like chaff before the wind. A vast number\nwent pell-mell into an old railroad cut to escape fire from the right\nand front. A battery on Lee\u2019s Hill saw this, and turned its fire into\nthe entire length of the cut, and wrought frightful destruction.\nThough thus repulsed and scattered in its first attempt to drive the\nConfederates from Marye\u2019s Hill, the determined Federal army quickly\nformed again and filed out of Fredericksburg to another charge. Again\nthey were forced to retire before the well-directed guns of Cobb\u2019s\nbrigade and the fire of the artillery on the heights.\n[Illustration: THE BATTLE OF FREDERICKSBURG, FROM THE BATTERY ON LEE\u2019S\nHILL.]\nStill again they formed and advanced, and again they were driven off.\nBy this time they had difficulty in walking over the dead bodies of\ntheir comrades. So persistent were they in their continuing advances\nthat General Lee, who at the time was with Longstreet on Lee\u2019s Hill,\nbecame uneasy and said that he feared the Federals would break through\nhis line. To this Longstreet replied, \u201cGeneral, if you put every man\nnow on the other side of the Potomac on that field to approach me over\nthe same line, and give me plenty of ammunition, I will kill them\nall before they reach my line. Look to your right; you are in some\ndanger there, but not on my line.\u201d As a precaution, General Kershaw\nwas ordered with the remainder of his brigade down to the stone wall\nto carry ammunition to Cobb and to reinforce him if necessary. Kershaw\narrived just in time to succeed Cobb, who was falling from a Federal\nbullet, to die in a few minutes from loss of blood. A fifth time\nthe Federals formed, charged, and were repulsed, and likewise a\nsixth time, when they were again driven back, and night came to end\nthe dreadful carnage. The Federals then withdrew, leaving the field\nliterally piled up with the bodies of their dead. The Confederate\nmusketry alone killed and wounded at least five thousand, while the\nartillery brought the number of those killed and wounded at the foot of\nMarye\u2019s Hill to over seven thousand.\nDuring the night a Federal strayed beyond his line, was taken up by\nLongstreet\u2019s troops, and on his person was found a memorandum of\nGeneral Burnside\u2019s arrangements and an order for the renewal of the\nbattle next day. Upon receiving this information General Lee gave\nimmediate orders for a line of rifle-pits on the top of Marye\u2019s Hill\nfor General Ransom, who had been held somewhat in reserve, and for\nother guns to be placed on Taylor\u2019s Hill. The Confederates were up\nbefore daylight on the morrow, anxious to receive General Burnside\nagain. The Federal troops, however, had left the field. It was at first\nthought that the memorandum was intended as a ruse of war, but it was\nafterwards learned that General Burnside expected to resume attack, but\ngave it up when he became fully aware of the fate of his soldiers at\nthe foot of Marye\u2019s Hill.\nCHICKAMAUGA\nThis battle marked the only great Confederate victory won in the\nWest, and was one of the bloodiest battles of the war. Indeed, the\ncontest for the bloodiest day in this great war is, I believe, between\nAntietam and Chickamauga. Official reports show that on both sides the\ncasualties embrace the enormous proportion of thirty-three per cent. of\nthe troops actually engaged. On the Union side there were over a score\nof regiments in which the losses in this single fight exceeded 49.4 per\ncent. The \u201cCharge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava,\u201d immortalized by\nTennyson, did not suffer by ten per cent. as much as did thirty of the\nUnion regiments at Chickamauga; and a number of Confederate regiments\nsuffered even more than their Federal opponents.\nLongstreet\u2019s command in less than two hours lost nearly forty-four\nper cent. of its strength. Of the troops that received their splendid\nassaults, Steedman\u2019s and Brannan\u2019s commands lost respectively\nforty-nine and thirty-eight per cent. in less than four hours. The loss\nof single regiments showed a much heavier percentage. For instance, the\nTenth Tennessee Regiment lost sixty-eight per cent.; the Fifth Georgia,\n61.1; the Second Tennessee, 60.2; the Sixteenth Alabama, 58.6; a great\nnumber of them more than fifty per cent.\nThe total Confederate losses were about 18,000 men; the total\nFederal losses, about 17,000. Viewed from the stand-point of both\nsides, Chickamauga was the fifth greatest battle of the war, being\nexceeded only by Gettysburg, Spottsylvania, the Wilderness, and\nChancellorsville. But each of these battles were of a much longer time.\nThe total Confederates engaged in the battle were 59,242; the total\nFederals, 60,867. The battle was fought on the 20th of September, 1863.\n[Illustration: BATTLE OF CHICKAMAUGA. CONFEDERATES FLANKING THE UNION\nFORCES.]\nThe movements of both sides were too complex to be followed here.\nDuring a very hot part of the battle, General Hood, on the Confederate\nside, was fearfully wounded; General Benning, of his \u201cRock Brigade,\u201d\nlost his own horse, and thought that General Hood was killed and that\neverything was gone to smash. He cut a horse loose from a captured\ngun, grabbed a rope trace as a riding whip, mounted, and rode to meet\nGeneral Longstreet and report. He had lost his hat in the m\u00eal\u00e9e, and\neverything was in terrible shape. He reported,--\n \u201cGeneral Hood killed, my horse killed, my brigade torn to pieces,\n and I haven\u2019t a single man left.\u201d\nGeneral Longstreet smiled, and quietly asked him if he did not think he\ncould find _one_ man. Quieted by the tone of the question, he began to\nlook for his men, found quite a number of them, and quickly joined the\nfighting forces at the front, where he discovered that the Confederates\nhad carried the first line, that Johnson\u2019s division was in the breach\nand pushing on, with Hindman spreading battle to the enemy\u2019s limits,\nStuart\u2019s division holding bravely on, and the brigades of Kershaw and\nHumphreys coming along to help restore the battle to good organization.\nAbout one o\u2019clock in the day lunch was ordered spread for a number of\nthe officers. General Longstreet meanwhile rode with General Buckner\nand the staffs to view the changed conditions of the battle. He could\nsee but little of the enemy\u2019s line, and only knew it by the occasional\nexchange of fire between the skirmishers. Suddenly the party discovered\nthat they had passed the Confederate line and were within the fire of\nthe Federal sharp-shooters, who were concealed behind the trees and\nunder the brush. They came back in more than double-quick. General\nLongstreet ordered General Buckner to establish a twelve-gun battery on\nthe right and enfilade the Federal works. Then he rode away to enjoy a\nsumptuous spread of Nassau bacon and Georgia sweet potatoes. They were\nnot accustomed to potatoes of any kind in Virginia, and the Georgia\nvariety was a peculiar luxury. While the lunch was in its first stages\na fragment of shell came tearing through the woods, passed through\na book in the hands of a courier who sat his horse hard by reading,\nand struck down the chief of ordnance, Colonel T. P. Manning. Friends\nsprang forward to look for the wound and give relief. Manning had\njust taken an unusually large bite of sweet potato, and was about\nsuffocating thereby. He was supposed to be gasping for his last breath\nwhen General Longstreet suggested that he be relieved of the potato and\ngiven a chance to breathe. This done, he soon revived, and was ready\nto be taken to the hospital, and in a few days he was again ready for\neither a Federal shell or a Georgia potato.\nThe vicissitudes of the battle were many and varied, but finally\nthe Federal forces quit the field and the different wings of the\nConfederate army came together and greeted each other with loud huzzas.\nThe Army of the Tennessee was ready to celebrate its first grand\nvictory, in spite of the great losses sustained. The twilight dews\nhung heavy over the trees, as if to hush the voice of victory in the\npresence of death, but nevertheless, the two lines, which neared as\nthey advanced, united their shouts in increasing volume, not as the\ncannon\u2019s violent noise, but as one great burst of harmony that seemed\nalmost to lift from their rooted depths the great forest trees. Before\ngreetings and congratulations upon the success had passed it was night,\nand the mild beams of the quartering moon were more suggestive of Venus\nthan of Mars, as Longstreet rested in the white light of the one great\ntriumph of Confederate arms in the West.\nIN EAST TENNESSEE\nAbout the 1st of November, 1863, it was determined at Confederate\nhead-quarters that Longstreet should be ordered into East Tennessee\nagainst General Burnside\u2019s army.\nOn the 22d of October General Grant joined the army, and it was known\nthat General Sherman was marching to join him.\nOn the 20th of October General Burnside reported by letter to General\nGrant an army of twenty-two thousand three hundred men, with ninety-odd\nguns, but his returns for November gave a force of twenty-five thousand\ntwo hundred and ninety, and over one hundred guns. Eight thousand of\nhis men were on service north of Knoxville and about Cumberland Gap.\nTo march, capture, and disperse this formidable force, fortified at\npoints, Longstreet had about fifteen thousand men, after deducting\ncamp guards and foraging parties. Marching and fighting had been his\nalmost daily occupation from the middle of January, 1863, when he left\nFredericksburg to move down to Suffolk, Virginia, until the 16th of\nDecember, when he found bleak winter again breaking upon him, away from\nfriends, and dependent upon his own efforts for food and clothing for\nhis ragged and hungry Confederates.\nIt is not in the purview of this paper to more than briefly refer to\nLongstreet\u2019s work in East Tennessee in the bitter winter of 1863-64. He\nhas said that Washington\u2019s men at Valley Forge did not suffer more than\nhis command on the hard campaigns of that severe winter. Much of the\ntime half-clad and shoeless, the snow-covered ground bore the bloody\nimprint of their naked feet. They were compelled to dig holes in the\nfrozen ground, which were thawed out by fires to furnish their usual\ncouch. They had nothing to eat but parched corn. But the brave fellows\nnever lost heart. They undertook to make a joke of their dire straits.\nAs General Longstreet rode out among them, they would call cheerily to\nknow if they might not have a little fodder to eat with their corn.\nIt is now generally conceded that no more valorous service was rendered\nthe Confederate cause during the four years\u2019 fighting than Longstreet\u2019s\nwork in East Tennessee, cut off from supplies, improperly supported by\nhis government, and sent with an inadequate force to attack Burnside in\nhis stronghold.\nMrs. Grant, a few years before her death, in discussing the events of\nthose campaigns, said to me that General Grant had come to Nashville\nto spend Christmas with her. She had scarcely given him greeting when\na hurried message came from Knoxville,--\u201cLongstreet is coming!\u201d He\nwas much perturbed at having to forego his Christmas with his family\nand return immediately to his works about Knoxville. In parting she\nsaid to him, \u201cNow, Ulysses, you know that you are not going to hurt\nLongstreet.\u201d Grant quickly replied, \u201cI will if I can get him; he is in\nbad company.\u201d\n[Illustration: THE ASSAULT ON FORT SANDERS, KNOXVILLE.]\nTo \u201cget\u201d Longstreet or to drive him out of Tennessee came to be the\nchief concern of Grant and his government. General Halleck was much\nconcerned about the Confederate army in East Tennessee, the only\nstrategic field then held by Southern troops. It was inconveniently\nnear Kentucky and the Ohio River. President Lincoln and his War\nSecretary added their anxiety to Halleck\u2019s on account of its\npolitico-strategic bearing. General Halleck urged his views upon\nGeneral Grant, and despatched General Foster that it was of first\nimportance to \u201cdrive Longstreet out of Tennessee and keep him out.\u201d\nGeneral Grant ordered: \u201cDrive Longstreet to the farthest point east\nthat you can.\u201d It was easier to issue that order than to execute it.\nAnd Grant reported to the authorities:\n\u201cIf Longstreet is not driven out of the valley entirely, and the road\ndestroyed east of Abingdon, I do not think it unlikely that the last\ngreat battle of the war will be fought in East Tennessee. Reports\nof deserters and citizens show the army of Bragg to be too much\ndemoralized and reduced by desertions to do anything this winter. I\nwill get everything in order here in a few days and go to Nashville\nand Louisville, and, if there is still a chance of doing anything\nagainst Longstreet, to the scene of operations there. I am deeply\ninterested in moving the enemy beyond Saltville this winter, so as to\nbe able to select my own campaign in the spring, instead of having the\nenemy dictate it to me.\u201d\nAbout the middle of December orders were given the Confederate army,\nwhich was on the west bank of the Holston River, to cross and march for\nthe railroad, only a few miles away.\nThe transfer of the army to the east bank of the river was executed\nby diligent work and the use of such flatboats and other means of\ncrossing as could be collected and constructed. They were over by\nthe 20th, and before Christmas were in camps along the railroad near\nMorristown. Blankets and clothes were scarce, shoes more so. But to\nthe hungry Confederates the beautiful country in which they found\nthemselves seemed a land of milk and honey. The French Broad River and\nthe Holston are confluent at Knoxville. The country between and beyond\nthem contains as fine farming-lands and has as delightful climate as\ncan be found. Stock and grain were on all farms. Wheat and oats had\nbeen thoughtfully hidden away by the Federals, but the fields were\nfull of maize, still standing. The country around the French Broad had\nhardly been touched by the foragers. The Confederate wagons immediately\non entering the fields were loaded to overflowing. Pumpkins were on the\nground in places like apples under a tree. Cattle, sheep, and swine,\npoultry, vegetables, maple sugar, and honey were all abundant for\nimmediate wants of the troops.\nWhen the Federals found that the Confederates had moved to the east\nbank, their cavalry followed to that side. They were almost as much in\nwant of the beautiful foraging lands as the Confederates, but there\nwas little left for them. With the plenitude of provisions for the\ntime, and many things which seemed luxuries, the Confederates were\nnot altogether happy. Tattered garments, blankets, and shoes (the\nlatter going, many gone) opened ways, on all sides, for piercing\nwinter blasts. There were some hand-looms in the country, from which\nthere was occasionally picked up a piece of cloth, and here and there\nother comforts were received, some from kind and some from unwilling\nhands, which nevertheless could spare them. For shoes the men were\ncompelled to resort to the raw hides of beef cattle as temporary\nprotection from the frozen ground. Then soldiers were discovered who\ncould tan the hides of beeves, some who could make shoes, some who\ncould make shoe-pegs, some who could make shoe-lasts; so it came about,\nthrough the varied industries of Longstreet\u2019s men, that the hides\npassed rapidly from the beeves to the feet of the soldiers. Thus the\nsoldier\u2019s life was made, for a time, passably pleasant in the infantry\nand artillery. Meanwhile, the Confederate cavalry were looking at\nthe Federals, and the Federals were looking at them, both frequently\nburning powder between their lines.\nGeneral Sturgis had been assigned to the cavalry of the other side,\nto relieve General Shackelford, and he seemed to think that the dead\nof winter was the time for cavalry work; and the Confederate General\nMartin\u2019s orders were to have the enemy under his eye at all hours. Both\nwere vigilant, active, and persevering.\nAbout December 20 a raid was made by General Averill from West Virginia\nupon a supply depot of General Sam Jones\u2019s department, at Salem, which\nwas partially successful, when General Grant, under the impression that\nthe stores were for East Tennessee, wired General Foster, \u201cThis will\ngive you great advantage.\u201d And General Foster despatched General Parke,\ncommanding his troops in the field, December 26, \u201cLongstreet will feel\na little timid now, and will bear a little pushing.\u201d\nGeneral Grant made a visit to Knoxville about New Year\u2019s, and remained\nuntil the 7th. He found General Foster in the condition of the\nConfederates,--not properly supplied with clothing, especially in want\nof shoes. So he authorized a wait for clothing, then in transit and\nlooked for in a week; and that little delay was a great lift for the\nConfederates.\nBefore leaving General Foster, General Grant ordered him, on receipt of\nclothing, to advance and \u201cdrive Longstreet at least beyond Bull\u2019s Gap\nand Red Bridge.\u201d And to prepare for that advance, he ordered the Ninth\nand Twenty-third Corps to Mossy Creek, the Fourth Corps to Strawberry\nPlains, and the cavalry to Dandridge.\nThe Union army--equipped--marched on the 14th and 15th of January. The\nbitter freeze of two weeks had made the rough angles of mud as firm\nand sharp as so many freshly quarried rocks, and the bare feet of the\nConfederates on this march left bloody marks along the roads.\nGeneral Sturgis rode in advance of the army, and occupied Dandridge by\nElliott\u2019s, Wolford\u2019s, and Garrard\u2019s divisions of cavalry and Mott\u2019s\nbrigade of infantry. The Fourth and Twenty-ninth Corps followed the\ncavalry, leaving the Ninth Corps to guard at Strawberry Plains.\nGeneral Martin gave prompt notice that the march was at Dandridge\nand in full force. Dandridge is on the right bank of the French\nBroad River, about thirty miles from Knoxville. Its topographical\nfeatures are bold and inviting of military work. Its other striking\ncharacteristic was the interesting character of its citizens. The\nConfederates--a unit in heart and spirit--were prepared to do their\nshare towards making an effective battle, and the plans were so laid.\nAt the time ordered for his advance General Foster was suffering from\nan old wound, and General Parke became commander of the troops in the\nfield. The latter delayed at Strawberry Plains in arranging that part\nof his command, and General Sheridan, marching with the advance, became\ncommander, until superseded by the corps commander, General Gordon\nGranger.\nThe Confederate plans were laid before the army was all up. Their\nskirmish line was made stronger, and relieved the cavalry of their\ndismounted service. A narrow, unused road, practicable for artillery,\nwas found that opened a way for the Confederates to reach the enemy\u2019s\nrearward line of march. Sharp-shooters were organized and ordered\nforward by it, to be followed by our infantry columns. It was thought\nbetter to move the infantry alone, as the ringing of the iron axles of\nthe guns might give notice of the Confederate purpose; the artillery to\nbe called as the Confederate sharp-shooters approached the junction of\nthe roads. The head of the turning force encountered a picket-guard,\nsome of whom escaped without firing. General Granger decided to retire,\nand was in time to leave the crossroads behind him, his rear guard\npassing the point of intersection before the Confederate advance party\nreached it about midnight.\nThe weather moderated before night, and after dark a mild, gentle rain\nbegan to fall.\nWhen Longstreet rode into Dandridge in the gray of the morning the\nground was thawing and hardly firm enough to bear the weight of his\nhorse. When the cavalry came at sunrise the last crust of ice had\nmelted, letting the animals down to their fetlocks in heavy limestone\nsoil. The mud and want of a bridge to cross the Holston made pursuit by\nthe heavy Confederate columns useless. The cavalry was ordered on, and\nthe troops at Morristown, on the Strawberry Plains road, were ordered\nto try that route, but the latter proved to be too heavy for progress\nwith artillery.\nWhile General Longstreet rode through the streets of Dandridge, giving\ndirections for such pursuit of the fleeing Federals as could be made, a\nlady came out upon the sidewalk and invited him into her parlors. When\nthe orders for pursuit were completed, he dismounted, and with some\nmembers of his staff walked in. After the compliments of the season\nwere passed, the Confederates were asked to be seated, and the lady\ntold, with evident great enjoyment, of General Granger during the night\nbefore. She had never heard a person swear about another as General\nGranger did about General Longstreet. Some of the officers proposed to\nstop and make a battle, but General Granger swore, and said, \u201cIt\u2019s no\nuse to stop and fight Longstreet. You can\u2019t whip him. It don\u2019t make any\ndifference whether he has one man or a hundred thousand.\u201d Presently she\nbrought out a flask that General Granger had forgotten, and presented\nit to General Longstreet. It had about two horizontal fingers left\nin it. Though not left with compliments, it was accepted. Although\nthe weather had moderated, it was very wet and nasty, and as General\nLongstreet had taken his coffee at three o\u2019clock, it was resolved to\ncall it noon and divide the spoils. Colonel Fairfax, who knew how to\nenjoy good things, thought the occasion called for a sentiment, and\noffered, \u201cGeneral Granger--may his shadow never grow less.\u201d\nThe cavalry found the road and its side-ways so cut up that the\npursuit was reduced to a labored walk. The previous hard service and\nexposure had so reduced the animals that they were not in trim for real\neffective cavalry service. They found some crippled battery forges and\na little of other plunder, but the enemy passed the Holston and broke\nhis bridges behind him, and Longstreet\u2019s men returned to their huts and\nwinter homes.\nTo seek some of the fruits of his advantage at Dandridge, the roads\nbeing a little firmer, General Longstreet ordered his leading division,\nunder General Jenkins, on the 21st, to proceed to march towards\nStrawberry Plains, and the Richmond authorities were asked to send a\npontoon bridge, tools of construction, and to hurry forward such shoes\nas they could send.\nOn the 24th, as the official records show, General Grant sent word to\nGeneral Halleck of Longstreet\u2019s return towards Knoxville; that he had\nordered General Foster to give battle, if necessary, and that he would\nsend General Thomas with additional troops to insure that Longstreet\nwould be driven from the State. He also directed General Thomas to\ngo in person and take command, and said, \u201cI want Longstreet routed\nand pursued beyond the limits of Tennessee.\u201d And he ordered General\nFoster to put his cavalry on a raid from Cumberland Gap to cut in upon\nLongstreet\u2019s rear.\nOn the 6th of February General Grant reported from Nashville,--\n \u201cMAJOR-GENERAL H. W. HALLECK,\n \u201cGeneral-in-Chief:\n \u201cI am making every effort to get supplies from Knoxville for the\n support of a large force--large enough to drive Longstreet out.\n \u201c_Major-General Commanding_.\u201d\n \u201cMAJOR-GENERAL THOMAS:\n \u201cReports of scouts make it evident that Joe Johnston has removed\n most of his force from our front, two divisions going to\n Longstreet. Longstreet has been reinforced by troops from the\n east. This makes it evident the enemy intends to secure East\n Tennessee if they can, and I intend to drive them out or get\n whipped this month. For this purpose you will have to detach at\n least ten thousand men besides Stanley\u2019s division (more will be\n better). I can partly relieve the vacuum at Chattanooga by troops\n from Logan\u2019s command. It will not be necessary to take artillery\n or wagons to Knoxville, but all the serviceable artillery horses\n should be taken to use on artillery there. Six mules to each two\n hundred men should be taken, if you have them to spare. Let me\n know how soon you can start.\nOn the 9th Major-General J. M. Schofield arrived at Knoxville, and\nassumed command of the Army of the Ohio.\nGeneral Grant reported on the 11th,--\n \u201cMAJOR-GENERAL H. W. HALLECK,\n \u201cGeneral-in-Chief:\n \u201cI expect to get off from Chattanooga by Monday next a force to\n drive Longstreet out of East Tennessee. It has been impossible\n heretofore to subsist the troops necessary for this work.\n \u201cMAJOR-GENERAL J. M. SCHOFIELD,\n \u201cKnoxville, Tennessee:\n \u201cI deem it of the utmost importance to drive Longstreet out\n immediately, so as to furlough the balance of our veterans, and\n to prepare for a spring campaign of our own choosing, instead of\n permitting the enemy to dictate it for us. Thomas is ordered to\n start ten thousand men, besides the remainder of Granger\u2019s corps,\n at once. He will take no artillery, but will take his artillery\n horses, and three mules to one hundred men. He will probably\n start next Monday.\nHow General Grant abandoned the move against Longstreet, while\nLongstreet kept Schofield bottled up all through that trying winter in\nhis works about Knoxville, is old history.\nThe Confederate government finally abandoned the plan of occupying\nEast Tennessee, and on the 7th of April Longstreet was ordered, with\nthe part of his command that had originally served with the Army of\nNorthern Virginia, to join General Lee on the Rapidan.\nI have gone thus far into the East Tennessee campaigns for the pleasure\nit gives me to reproduce the following resolutions passed by the\nConfederate Congress during General Longstreet\u2019s arduous work in the\nwinter of 1863-64:\n \u201cNo. 42. Joint Resolutions of Thanks to Lieutenant-General\n Longstreet and the officers and men of his command.\n \u201c_Resolved by the Congress of the Confederate States of America_,\n That the thanks of the Congress are due, and hereby cordially\n tendered, to Lieutenant-General James Longstreet and the\n officers and men of his command, for their patriotic services\n and brilliant achievements in the present war, sharing as they\n have the arduous fatigues and privations of many campaigns in\n Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Tennessee, and\n participating in nearly every great battle fought in those\n States, the commanding general ever displaying great ability,\n skill, and prudence in command, and the officers and men the most\n heroic bravery, fortitude, and energy, in every duty they have\n been called upon to perform.\n \u201c_Resolved_, That the President be requested to transmit a copy\n of the foregoing resolutions to Lieutenant-General Longstreet for\n publication to his command.\n \u201cApproved February 17, 1864.\u201d\nTHE WILDERNESS\nThe Wilderness is a forest land about fifteen miles square, lying\nbetween and equidistant from Orange Court-House and Fredericksburg.\nIt is broken occasionally by small farms and abandoned clearings, and\ntwo roads,--the Orange Plank Road and the turnpike, which are cut at\nright angles by the Germania road,--in general course nearly parallel,\nopen ways through it between Fredericksburg and the Court-House. The\nGermania Ford road joins the Brock road, the strategic line of the\nmilitary zone, and crosses the turnpike at Wilderness Tavern and the\nplank road about two miles south of that point.\nGeneral Grant was making his head-quarters near the Army of the\nPotomac, in Culpeper County, Virginia, commanded by Major-General\nGeorge G. Meade. The aggregate of the Federal command was about one\nhundred and thirty thousand men.\nThe Army of Northern Virginia was on the west side of the Rapidan\nRiver. Its total number at the beginning of the campaign was then put\nby Colonel Taylor, chief of staff, at about sixty-four thousand.\nHowever, the numerical strength of the armies did not decide the\nmerits of the campaign. The commanders on both sides had chosen their\nground after mature deliberation. They knew of each other\u2019s numbers\nand resources, and made their plans accordingly. A number of their\nrespective leaders had known each other personally for more than\ntwenty years. They had the undivided support and confidence of their\ngovernments and their armies. General Lee was as always the trusted\nleader of the Confederates; General Grant by his three years\u2019 service\nin the West had become known as an all-round soldier seldom if ever\nsurpassed. General Longstreet, who thought most highly of General\nGrant from every stand-point, always said that the biggest part of him\nwas his heart.\nIn this case General Grant had no fixed plan of campaign except to\navoid the strong defensive line occupied by General Lee, and to draw\nhim out to open battle.\nGeneral Lee\u2019s orders were against a general engagement until the\nFederal forces should attack, but in the midst of varied man\u0153uvrings\nthe battle was begun in half a dozen quarters before either commanding\ngeneral had expected it. Hancock advanced before sunrise ready\nfor battle, just as Longstreet\u2019s command, which had come up from\nMechanicsville, reported to General Lee. Longstreet\u2019s line was formed\nalong the right and left of the plank road, Kershaw on the right,\nField on the left. Hancock\u2019s musketry was doing considerable damage to\nthe forces in front, and as Longstreet\u2019s lines were forming the men\nbroke files to give free passage for their comrades to the rear. The\nadvancing fire was getting brisk, but not a shot was fired in return by\nLongstreet\u2019s troops until the divisions were ready. Three of Field\u2019s\nbrigades were formed in the line of the left, and three of Kershaw\u2019s on\nthe right. The advance of the six brigades was ordered, and Hancock\u2019s\nlines, thinned by their previous fighting and weaker than the fresh\nmen now coming against them, were checked and pushed back to their\nintrenched lines. Then the fighting became steady and firm.\n[Illustration: THE WOUNDING OF GENERAL LONGSTREET AT THE WILDERNESS,\nFinally Hancock\u2019s line began to break. As they retreated and the\nConfederates advanced, a fire was started in the dry leaves and began\nto spread. The Confederate forces, in spite of the fire, moved on.\nAs the battle waged, General Wadsworth, who was gallantly leading\na division of the Federal forces, fell mortally wounded, and there\nwas then a general break in the Union line. Jenkins\u2019s brigade was\nconspicuous among the Confederates in pursuit. Jenkins exclaimed to\nthose around him, \u201cI am happy; I have felt despair of the cause for\nsome months, but am relieved, and feel assured that we will put the\nenemy back across the Rapidan before night.\u201d A few minutes later he\nfell mortally wounded. In the general m\u00eal\u00e9e Longstreet was leading in\nadvance of his troops, and in the midst of close firing was shot by his\nown men. This caused the Confederate lines to slow up in their advance.\nOrders were given General Field by Longstreet to push on before the\nenemy could have time to rally, but in the midst of the general\nconfusion, General Lee ordered the broken lines to be reformed, and the\nadvantage already gained was not followed up.\nGeneral Field, in his subsequent account of the day, said,--\n \u201cI was at Longstreet\u2019s side in a moment, and in answer to my\n anxious inquiry as to his condition, he replied that he would be\n looked after by others, and directed me to take command of the\n corps and push on. Though at this moment he could not have known\n the extent or character of his wounds (that they were severe was\n apparent), he seemed to forget himself in the absorbing interest\n of the movement he was making.\n \u201cHad our advance not been suspended by this disaster, I have\n always believed that Grant would have been driven across the\n Rapidan before night; but General Lee was present, and ordered\n that our line, which was nearly a right angle, should first\n be straightened out. The difficulty of man\u0153uvring through the\n brush made this a tedious operation, so that when we did advance\n with large reinforcements from Ewell\u2019s Corps placed under my\n orders, the enemy was found awaiting us behind new breastworks,\n thoroughly prepared.\u201d\nIn a letter touching this subject to General Longstreet, Colonel\nFairfax said,--\n \u201cOn reaching the line of troops you were taken off the horse and\n propped against a tree. You blew the bloody foam from your mouth\n and said, \u2018Tell General Field to take command, and move forward\n with the whole force and gain the Brock road,\u2019 but meantime hours\n were lost.\u201d\nA Northern historian[H] said, on the same point,--\n \u201cIt seemed indeed that irretrievable disaster was upon us; but in\n the very torrent and tempest of the attack it suddenly ceased and\n all was still. What could cause this surcease of effort at the\n very height of success was then wholly unknown to us.\u201d\nSome years after, General Hancock said to General Longstreet,--\n \u201cYou rolled me up like a wet blanket, and it was some hours\n before I could reorganize the battle.\u201d\nTHE CURTAIN FALLS AT APPOMATTOX\nIn discussing the war, General Longstreet always dwelt with peculiar\ntenderness on the last days that culminated with the surrender at\nAppomattox. His mental belief for two years before the surrender was\nthat from the very nature of the situation the Union forces would in\nall probability finally triumph, but his brave heart never knew how to\ngive up the fight, and the surrender was at last agreed upon while he\nwas still protesting against it.\nThe incident is well known of a number of the leading Confederate\ngenerals, who, having decided that further resistance was useless, went\nto General Lee and suggested surrender upon the best terms that could\nbe had as the wisest thing to do. General Longstreet declined to join\nwith them. General Pendleton was spokesman for the party. His account\nof the conference is thus related by General A. L. Long in his Memoirs\nof Lee:\n \u201cGeneral Lee was lying on the ground. No others heard the\n conversation between him and myself. He received my communication\n with the reply, \u2018Oh, no; I trust that it has not come to that,\u2019\n and added, \u2018General, we have yet too many bold men to think of\n laying down our arms. The enemy do not fight with spirit, while\n our boys do. Besides, if I were to say a word to the Federal\n commander, he would regard it as such a confession of weakness as\n to make it the condition of demanding an unconditional surrender,\n a proposal to which I will never listen.... I have never believed\n we could, against the gigantic combination for our subjugation,\n make good, in the long run, our independence, unless some foreign\n power should, directly or indirectly, assist us.... But such\n considerations really make with me no difference. We had, I am\n satisfied, sacred principles to maintain, and rights to defend,\n for which we were in duty bound to do our best, even if we\n perished in the endeavor.\u2019\n \u201cSuch were, as nearly as I can recall them, the exact words of\n General Lee on that most pitiful occasion. You see in them the\n soul of the man. Where his conscience dictated and his judgment\n decided, there his heart was.\u201d\nNo words of eulogy show up so clearly the characters of Lee and\nlikewise of Grant as their own direct words and deeds. On the evening\nof April 7, 1865, General Grant wrote General Lee as follows:\n \u201cThe results of the last week must convince you of the\n hopelessness of further resistance on the part of the Army of\n Northern Virginia in this struggle. I feel that it is so, and\n regard it as my duty to shift from myself the responsibility of\n any further effusion of blood by asking of you the surrender\n of that portion of the Confederate army known as the Army of\n Northern Virginia.\u201d\nGeneral Longstreet was with General Lee when he received this note.\nIt was handed to General Longstreet without a word. After reading it\nGeneral Longstreet handed it back, saying, \u201cNot yet.\u201d General Lee\nreplied to General Grant that same evening:\n \u201cI have received your note of this day. Though not entertaining\n the opinion you express on the hopelessness of further resistance\n on the part of the Army of Northern Virginia, I reciprocate your\n desire to avoid useless effusion of blood, and therefore, before\n considering your proposition, ask the terms you will offer on\n condition of its surrender.\u201d\nWhile this correspondence was pending, both armies, under the\nrespective directions of Grant and of Lee, continued their preparations\nfor battle as if there was no thought of cessation. The next day, April\n8, General Grant wrote General Lee as follows:\n \u201cYour note of last evening, in reply to mine of the same date\n asking the conditions on which I will accept surrender of the\n Army of Northern Virginia, is just received. In reply I would say\n that, peace being my great desire, there is but one condition I\n would insist upon,--namely, that the men and officers surrendered\n shall be disqualified for taking up arms again against the United\n States government until properly exchanged. I will meet you, or\n will designate officers to meet any officers you might name for\n the same purpose, at any point agreeable to you, for the purpose\n of arranging definitely the terms upon which the surrender of the\n Army of Northern Virginia will be received.\u201d\nTo this General Lee replied, under the same date:\n \u201cI received at a late hour your note of to-day. In mine of\n yesterday I did not intend to propose the surrender of the Army\n of Northern Virginia, but to ask the terms of your proposition.\n To be frank, I do not think the emergency has arisen to call for\n the surrender of this army, but as the restoration to peace\n should be the sole object of all, I desired to know whether your\n proposals would lead to that end. I cannot, therefore, meet you\n with a view to the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia;\n but as far as your proposal may affect the Confederate States\n forces under my command and tend to the restoration of peace,\n I should be pleased to meet you at ten A.M. to-morrow on the\n old stage road to Richmond, between the picket-lines of the two\n armies.\u201d\nThat night General Lee spread his couch about a hundred feet from the\nsaddle and blanket that were General Longstreet\u2019s pillow for the night,\nand it is not probable that either had a more comfortable bed than\nthe other. Of the early hours of the next day, the last day of active\nexistence of the Army of Northern Virginia, Colonel Venable, of General\nLee\u2019s staff, has written a touching account, which is published in\nGeneral Long\u2019s \u201cMemoirs of General Lee.\u201d When further resistance seemed\nuseless, he quoted General Lee as saying,--\n \u201cThen there is nothing left me but to go and see General Grant,\n and I would rather die a thousand deaths.\u201d\nMany were the wild words of passionate grief spoken by the officers\naround him. Said one, \u201cOh, General, what would history say of the\nsurrender of the army in the field?\u201d According to Colonel Venable,\nGeneral Lee replied, \u201cYes, I know they will say hard things of us; they\nwill not understand how we are overwhelmed with numbers. But that is\nnot the question; the question is, Is it right to surrender this army?\nIf it is right, then I will take all the responsibility.\u201d\nPresently General Lee called General Longstreet to ride forward with\nhim. He said that the advance columns stood against a very formidable\nforce which he could not break through, while General Meade was at\nLongstreet\u2019s rear ready to call for all the work that the rear\nguard could do. He added that it did not seem possible for him to\nmake further successful resistance. General Longstreet asked if the\nsacrifice of his army could benefit the cause in other quarters. He\nthought not. Then, said Longstreet, \u201cThe situation speaks for itself.\u201d\nSeveral other leading generals were consulted, and all of them held the\nsame view.\nMeanwhile, the Federal forces appeared plainly to be preparing for\nattack. The Confederates continued work on their lines of defence.\nGeneral Longstreet ordered parts of the rear guard forward to support\nthe advance forces, and directed General E. P. Alexander to establish\nthem with part of his batteries in the best position for support or\nrallying line in case the front lines were forced back.\nThus the last line of battle formed in the Army of Northern Virginia\nwas by the invincible First Corps, twice conqueror of empire!\n[Illustration: GENERAL ALEXANDER ARRANGING THE LAST LINE OF BATTLE\nFORMED IN THE ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA.]\nIn talking over the delicate situation, General Lee told General\nLongstreet that he feared his refusal to meet General Grant\u2019s\nproposition might cause him to demand harsh terms. General Longstreet\nassured him that he knew General Grant well enough to be certain that\nthe best terms possible would be given--even such terms as he himself\nwould be willing to give a gallant foe under similar circumstances. How\ntrue this estimate proved all the world now knows.\nAPPENDIX\nLONGSTREET\n He lies in state, while by his flag-draped bier\n Pass the long ranks of men who wore the gray--\n Men who heard shriek of shot and shell unmoved--\n Sobbing like children o\u2019er the lifeless clay.\n Through the fair South the heroes whom he led\n Against the blue lines in the stricken field\n Muse on the days ere Appomattox wrenched\n The laurel wreath from Dixie\u2019s shattered shield.\n The glories of Manassas, Chancellorsville,\n And all the triumphs those gray legions gained\n Seem gathered in a shadowy host beside\n That casket and those colors battle-stained!\n While in the frozen North the men who strove\n Against his squadrons, bartering blow for blow,\n Bow silvered heads, exclaiming lovingly,\n \u201cMay he rest well! He was a noble foe!\u201d\n Genius and courage equally were his--\n He fought in cause his heart maintained as right,\n And when the sword clanked in the rusted sheath\n He murmured not against the losing fight,\n But made endeavor, with a loyal soul,\n To heal the wounds the years of strife had wrought--\n And in the fields of peace more glories won\n Than in the battles his gray warriors fought!\n --W. A. P., in Chicago Journal.\nJAMES LONGSTREET\nJames Longstreet was born in Edgefield District, South Carolina,\nJanuary 8, 1821, son of James and Mary Ann (Dent) Longstreet, and a\ndescendant of the Longstreets and Randolphs of New Jersey and the Dents\nand Marshalls of Maryland and Virginia. Richard Longstreet, progenitor\nof the name in America, settled in Monmouth County, New Jersey.\nJames Longstreet, subject of this sketch, removed with his parents to\nAlabama in 1831, from which State he received his appointment to West\nPoint, and was graduated from the United States Military Academy in\n1842. He was promoted in the army as brevet second lieutenant of the\nFourth Infantry, July 1, 1842, and served in garrison at Jefferson\nBarracks, Missouri, 1842-44; on frontier duty at Natchitoches,\nLouisiana, 1844-45; was promoted second lieutenant of the Eighth\nInfantry, March 4, 1845; was in military occupation of Texas, 1845-46,\nand served in the war with Mexico, 1846-47. He participated in the\nbattle of Palo Alto; May 8, 1846; the battle of Resaca de la Palma,\nMay 9, 1846; was promoted first lieutenant Eighth Infantry, February\n23, 1847, and participated in the siege of Vera Cruz, March 9-29,\n1847; the battle of Cerro Gordo, April 17 and 18, 1847; the capture of\nSan Antonio and the battle of Churubusco, August 20, 1847; the battle\nof Molino del Rey, September 8, 1847; the storming of Chepultepec,\nSeptember 13, 1847, where he was severely wounded in the assault on\nthe fortified convent. He was brevetted captain, August 20, 1847,\n\u201cfor gallant and meritorious conduct in the battles of Churubusco and\nContreras,\u201d and major, September 8, 1847, \u201cfor gallant and meritorious\nconduct at the battle of Molino del Rey.\u201d He served as adjutant of\nthe Eighth Infantry, 1847-49; was in garrison at Jefferson Barracks,\n1848-49; and served on frontier duty in Texas in 1849. He was chief\nof Commissariat of the Department of Texas, 1849-51, and served on\nscouting duty in Texas, Kansas, and New Mexico, 1851-61. He was\npromoted captain, December 7, 1852, and major of staff and paymaster\nJuly 19, 1858. He resigned his commission in 1861 and was appointed\nbrigadier-general in the Confederate States army, and commanded a\nbrigade at Blackburn\u2019s Ford, Virginia, from July 18 to and including\nJuly 21, 1861. He was promoted major-general and commanded the rear\nguard of Joseph E. Johnston\u2019s army during the retreat from Yorktown,\nVirginia. He commanded the Confederate forces in the field, composed of\nhis own and part of D. H. Hill\u2019s division and Stuart\u2019s cavalry brigade,\nat the battle of Williamsburg, May 5, 1862; commanded the right wing\nof Johnston\u2019s army at Seven Pines, May 31 and June 1, 1862; his own\nand A. P. Hill\u2019s division, in the Seven Days\u2019 Battle before Richmond;\nand commanded the right wing of Lee\u2019s army of Northern Virginia in the\nsecond battle of Bull Run, August 29 and 30, 1862; and in the Maryland\ncampaign, September, 1862; the First Corps (Confederate left) at the\nbattle of Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862. He was on duty south of\nthe James River in April, 1863, and was ordered to rejoin General Lee\nat Chancellorsville, Virginia, but Lee, without awaiting his return\nmade precipitate battle May 2 to 4, 1863. He commanded the right wing\nof the Army of Northern Virginia at Gettysburg July 1 to 3, 1863. He\nserved under General Bragg in the Army of the Tennessee, and commanded\nthe left wing of that army, composed of Hindman\u2019s division, Polk\u2019s\ncorps, Buckner\u2019s corps, and two divisions and artillery of Longstreet\u2019s\ncorps, at the battle of Chickamauga, September 19 and 20, 1863. He was\nsent with part of his corps and Wheeler\u2019s cavalry against Burnside\u2019s\narmy in East Tennessee, in November, with orders to recover possession\nof that part of the State. He drove Burnside back into his works around\nKnoxville, and held him there under siege from November 17 to December\n4, 1863, when Sherman approached with twenty thousand of Grant\u2019s army,\nnear Chattanooga, for relief of the besieged army. Bragg ordered\nprecipitate attack of the fortifications, but they were too strong\nto be carried by assault. Just then orders came from President Davis\nfor Longstreet to return to Bragg\u2019s army in distress at Chattanooga.\nLongstreet held his army in possession of East Tennessee, keeping the\nFederal forces close about their works, until January, 1864, when he\nwas ordered to withdraw towards General Lee\u2019s army in Virginia, and\nhe participated in the battle of the Wilderness, May 5 and 6, 1864,\nwhen he commanded the two divisions of the First Corps forming the\nright of Lee\u2019s army, and was severely wounded. After convalescing he\nparticipated in all the engagements of the Army of Northern Virginia\nin 1864. He commanded the First Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia\nfrom the date of its organization until surrendered by General Lee at\nAppomattox Court-House, Virginia, April 9, 1865. He was called the\nhardest fighter in the Confederate army, and the fairest military\ncritics of the century have estimated his military genius as second to\nno commander in the Confederate States service.\nHe removed to New Orleans and engaged in commerce immediately after\nthe surrender. He was Surveyor of Customs of the Port of New Orleans,\n1869; Supervisor of Internal Revenue, 1878; Postmaster at Gainesville,\nGeorgia, 1879, and was appointed by President Hayes United States\nMinister to Turkey, serving 1880. He was United States Marshal of the\nNorthern District of Georgia, in 1881, and was appointed United States\nCommissioner of Railroads by President McKinley in October, 1897,\nserving until the date of his death in 1904.\nOn the 8th day of March, 1848, at Lynchburg, Virginia, he was married\nto Marie Louise Garland, daughter of General John Garland, U.S.A., of\na noted Virginia family, hero of two wars. Mrs. Longstreet died at\nGainesville, Georgia, December 29, 1889.\nOn the fiftieth anniversary of the battle of Molino del Rey, September\n8, 1897, at the Executive Mansion in Atlanta, Georgia, he was married\nto Helen Dortch, daughter of the late Colonel James S. Dortch, a\nbrilliant Georgia lawyer, of a distinguished North Carolina family.\nGeneral Longstreet died at Gainesville, Georgia, January 2, 1904, and\nwas buried at Alta Vista Cemetery, that place, with military honors,\nJanuary 6.\nTHE FUNERAL CEREMONIES\n(_A. S. Hardy, in the Constitution, Atlanta, Georgia._)\n GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, January 6, 1904.\nThe funeral of General James Longstreet, which was held at eleven\no\u2019clock to-day at the county court-house, was the most impressive\nceremonial ever held in Gainesville. Several thousand people gathered\nin and around the court-house, and when the guards threw open the doors\nto the public just preceding the service, which occurred in the main\ncourt-room instead of in the rotunda as originally intended, there was\na great crush, though every endeavor was made to handle the vast throng\nwith every possible ease. Only a few minutes were consumed in filling\nevery available seat, and outside there appeared to be absolutely no\ndiminution in the size of the crowd.\nA few moments before twelve o\u2019clock, the active pall-bearers bore the\ncasket up the stairway from the rotunda, where it had lain in state\nfrom two o\u2019clock yesterday, and placed it in position just in front of\nthe judge\u2019s rostrum. It was banked in a profusion of exquisite floral\nofferings, many of which came from out-of-town Confederate camps, other\norganizations, and from personal friends. Across the head and foot were\nthrown a Confederate and a United States flag, and standing near was\nthe handsome silk flag of the Candler Horse Guards.\nIf any should doubt that the people among whom the General lived\ndid not love him and revere his memory, this doubt would have been\ndispelled to-day if they had seen the demonstration over his casket\nas the last sad rites were being said. Not a business house in town\nwas open, everything in the city closing tight their doors from the\nbeginning of the funeral until after the body was placed to rest in\nAlta Vista Cemetery. From every quarter the people came and upon every\nlip there was praise of the immortal deeds of the great Confederate\ncommander.\nAs the body was being placed in position, Bishop Keiley, Father\nSchadewell, of Albany, and Father Gunn, of Sacred Heart Church,\nAtlanta, emerged from the judge\u2019s private chambers on the left and\nwere escorted to a position in front of the casket. The burial service\nof the Roman Catholic Church was conducted by the Right Rev. Bishop\nKeiley, of Savannah; Father Schadewell, of Albany, and Dr. Gunn, of the\nSacred Heart Church, of Atlanta. Father Schadewell read the liturgical\nLatin service, then gave the same in English. Some of the beautiful\nprayers are given elsewhere.\nAfter reading the service and the blessing of the remains the right\nreverend bishop, who himself had served as a soldier from 1860 to 1864\nin the Confederate army under Longstreet, spoke as follows:\n\u201cHad it pleased God that the cause which met defeat at Appomattox\neight and thirty years ago had been crowned with that success for\nwhich both its justice and the singular devotedness of its defenders\nhad given us right and warrant to hope, a far different scene had been\nwitnessed here to-day. It might have been that Federal as well as State\nauthorities had met to pay a merited tribute to this dead hero, who\nvaliantly sustained on many a bloody field the imperishable principles\nof the right of self-government.\n\u201cHad it pleased God to spare the precious lives of those of his\ncompanions in arms who have passed over the river, then we had seen\nthe peerless Lee, the brave Johnston, and the dashing Hampton sharing\nour grief and mingling their tears with ours over the remains of the\nsoldier whom Lee loved. Is there e\u2019en a suggestion of irreverence in\nthe thought which would people this hall with the dauntless spirits of\nour dead?\n\u201cHaving met defeat in an unequal struggle and having loyally accepted\nthe results of that struggle; having devoted our time and scanty means\nto the upbuilding of our loved land; having been blessed by a merciful\nGod beyond our dreams or deserts, we lay aside our tasks to-day for\nawhile to recall the glories of our past and to tell of the valor of\none who fought and bled for us.\n \u201cThe foeman need not frown,\n They are all powerless now;\n We gather here and we lay them down,\n And tears and prayers are the only crown\n We bring to wreathe each brow.\n\u201cHaving passed the span which Providence ordinarily allots as the term\nof human life, General James Longstreet has answered the roll-call of\nthe great God.\n\u201cWhat a brilliant page in history is filled with his grand career. Born\nmore than eighty years ago in the neighboring State of South Carolina,\nhe entered West Point in his seventeenth year and graduated therefrom\nin his twenty-first. He served with marked distinction in the Mexican\nWar and was more than once complimented for his gallant conduct and\nmerited and received promotion.\n\u201cWhen the Southern States withdrew from the Union by reason of attacks\non their reserved rights which were guaranteed by the Constitution, and\nwere forced into the war between the States, James Longstreet offered\nhis services and sword to the cause of self-government. No history of\nthe war may be written which does not bear emblazoned on every page the\nstory of his deeds. Why need I recount them here? Assuredly no one will\nquestion the gross impropriety of discussing incidents of the career of\nLongstreet during the war which have been the subject of criticism by\nsome.\n\u201cWe who knew him forty-odd years ago; we who shared his convictions\nand in humble ways bore a part in the good cause; we know what a tower\nof strength Longstreet was to the noblest knight who has graced tented\nfield since the peerless Bayard passed from earth,--Robert E. Lee; we\nfeel and know to-day that neither boundless praise nor fullest words of\ngratitude can exaggerate the worth of James Longstreet or pay him what\nwe owe.\n\u201cBy what I deem is a peculiarly fortunate coincidence, we are\ncommitting his remains to the tomb on a day when the Catholic Church\ncommemorates the manifestation of our Saviour to the Gentiles in the\npersons of the wise men, who, led by a star, came from their distant\nhomes to Bethlehem. The Bible tells us that they found the Child and\nMary, His Mother. God has sent stars which have been beacon-lights\non our pathway through the world, though in their gleaming we have\nfoolishly failed at times to see the guiding hand of a merciful\nProvidence. Joy and sorrow, sickness, and even death have been stars\nwhich should have led us nearer and nearer to God.\n\u201cIt is my duty as a priest of God to call your attention to the\nobvious lesson of this occasion,--the vanity of mere earthly greatness\nand the certainty of death and the necessity of preparation for it.\nJames Longstreet was a brave soldier, a gallant gentleman, but better\nstill--a consistent Christian. After the war between the States he\nbecame a member of the Catholic Church, and to his dying day remained\nfaithful to her teaching and loyal to her creed.\n\u201cDeep down in the heart and breast of every man when touched by\nthe correcting hand of God there is a longing for some means of\ncommunicating with loved ones who have been taken from us by death. Oh\nthat we might reach them or tell them of our love or do something for\nthem!\n\u201cIn that familiar profession of faith, which comes down to us even\nfrom the days of the immediate followers of the Master, there is a\nclause which brings comfort to the afflicted heart of the sorrowing\nand answers the longings of the grief-stricken. It is that solemn\nprofession of our belief in the communion of saints.\n\u201cTo the Catholic heart it tells of a golden chain of intercession\nlonger than the ladder of the patriarch and reaching from the cold\ndead clods of earth even to the great throne of God; a golden chain\nwhich links and binds together the children of God here and above; a\nbrilliant and mystic tie which binds and unites the blessed ones who\nnow see God in heaven to us who yet labor and wait in this vale of\ntears. It tells us of their interest in our salvation and their prayers\nin our behalf. But it brings yet more solace and comfort to aching\nhearts when it soothes the grief of those who are in doubt as to the\ndead who have had their garments soiled with the warfare of this world\nand have left it not prepared to meet that God before whom scarce the\nangels are pure; for it tells, too, that even we may aid by our prayers\nthose who are yet in the communion of saints.\n\u201cThe last words of Mother Church have been said for James Longstreet.\nSoftly and tenderly they fall on every Christian ear, for the children\nof the Church they have a deeper meaning.\n\u201cMay his soul rest in peace. Amen.\u201d\nThis concluded the funeral services and the body was borne from the\ncourt-house to the hearse by the active pall-bearers. The procession\nthen formed in the following order: Queen City Band, Candler Horse\nGuards, and Governor\u2019s Horse Guards, honorary escort; hearse with\npall-bearers, family and relatives, Confederate Veterans, Daughters of\nthe Confederacy, mayor and council and county officers, Brenau College,\nChildren of the Confederacy, citizens and public generally. The\nprocession moved up North Bradford Street to Spring Street, out Spring\nStreet to Grove, down Grove to West Broad, thence Broad to Alta Vista\nCemetery.\nFather Schadewell accompanied the remains to the cemetery, where a\nshort service was held, the crowd baring their heads when the following\nprayer was read:\n\u201cAlmighty and most merciful Father, who knowest the weakness of our\nnature, bow down thine ear in pity unto Thy servants upon whom Thou\nhast laid the heavy burden of sorrow. Take away out of their hearts the\nspirit of rebellion and teach them to see Thy good and gracious purpose\nworking in all the trials which Thou dost send upon them. Grant that\nthey may not languish in fruitless and unavailing grief, nor sorrow\nas those who have no hope, but meekly look up to Thee, the God of all\nconsolation, through Christ our Lord. Amen.\n\u201cGrant, O Lord, that whilst we lament the departure of our brother,\nThy servant, out of the life, we may bear in mind that we are most\ncertainly to follow him. Give us grace to make ready for that last\nhour by a devout and holy life and protect us against a sudden and\nunprovided death. Teach us how to watch and pray that when the summons\ncomes we may go forth to meet the bridegroom and enter with him into\nlife everlasting, through Christ our Lord. Amen. Eternal rest grant\nunto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.\u201d\nA volley was then fired over the grave of the dead leader by the\nCandler Horse Guards and a detachment from the Governor\u2019s Horse Guards,\nunder command of Colonel A. J. West, and Captain W. N. Pillow, taps\nwere sounded, and the grave closed over one of the greatest warriors\nthe world has ever known.\n(From the Atlanta, Georgia, Constitution.)\n(By Alan Rogers.)\nPathetic Scenes Marked the Interment of Lee\u2019s \u201cOld War-Horse.\u201d\n With muffled drums and the flag that was furled\n With the cause that was lost, when the last smoke curled\n From the last old gun, at the last brave stand--\n His soul marched on with the old command;\n And the step was slow, as they bore away,\n To await the eternal muster day,\n Their old-time comrade, lost awhile,\n But loved long since for the brave old smile\n That cleared the way when he only knew\n His ways were Gray and their ways were Blue;\n And if for a time, he walked alone,\n He\u2019s all right now, for \u201cLongstreet\u2019s home:\u201d\n Back to his old command he\u2019s gone,\n With Lee and Jackson looking on,\n And cheering him back to the ranks again\n With the Blue and the Gray all melted in.\n GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, January 6, 1904.\nSlowly the bells of Gainesville toll a requiem, the last taps have\nsounded only to be lost again across the winter-browned fields of\nGeorgia, but the reveille of awakening still rings out clear and\ntrue that to-day old comrades in arms, citizens, soldiers, admirers,\nfriends, women of the South, children of a rising generation, Georgia,\nand all Dixieland may know that Lieutenant-General James Longstreet,\nthe \u201cwar-horse\u201d of the Confederacy, has at last again joined his old\ncommand.\nAnd the thousands who marched to the little cemetery just as the sun\nstarted on its sleeping journey in the west did not come to say a last\ngood-by; with uncovered heads they simply said good-night.\nIn the court-house which but a few months ago was a converted hospital\nfor the care of those maimed by a terrible cyclone, the body of General\nLongstreet rests beneath the Stars and Bars of the Confederacy and the\nStars and Stripes of the Union. Old soldiers passed in a never-ending\nprocession with uncovered heads for one last look upon the face of\ntheir commander. Look if you will behind that curtain of mist before\nthe eyes of that wearer of a gray uniform and you will see quite\nanother picture. It is that of his beloved \u201cOld Pete,\u201d as he was known\nby his own command, hurrying on to the support of General Jackson at\nManassas. Or his indomitable courage on the retreat from Gettysburg\n\u201cleading on and on as strong in the adversity of defeat as in the\nsuccess that follows victory.\u201d Or perhaps hurrying towards the front\nat the Wilderness, the intrepid leader so far in the van that he was\nwounded by his own men. Or at the last succumbing at Appomattox to\nthe inevitable and with Lee reaping the reward of honor that belonged\nto a surrender that cost more bravery than all of the battles of that\nblood-drained period of history.\nThe sentinels that guard the bier are withdrawn. The body is carried\nby loving hands to the court-room above. Here in the presence of his\nnearest relatives and friends that taxed not alone the capacity of the\nbuilding, but overflowed into an acre of mourning humanity outside.\nHere in the closely crowded hall of justice converted into a sanctuary\nby lighted candles and the priestly robes of the officiating clergy,\nthe services were held. There was no music save the stifled sob of\nbrave men whose hearts were awakened to the sacred ties of old-time\nmemories in a way beyond their control. Bishop Keiley, himself an old\nsoldier of General Longstreet, and Rev. Fathers Gunn, of Atlanta, and\nSchadewell, of Albany, officiated. After the reading of the prayers\nof the impressive service of the Roman Catholic Church, Bishop Keiley\nin a beautiful eulogy revered again the memory of his old friend and\ncommander. His address appears in another column, but the choking\nof his voice, the closed eyes shutting back the tears that would\ncome,--these things are lost in the reproduction of printer\u2019s ink and\ncan only remain in the memories of those who were so privileged as to\nbe present.\nThe picture was most inspiring. Look, if you will, at the one-time\nforest of battle-flags, hewn down and water-logged in the blood of many\nvictories to a tiny grove of priceless ribbons that rise and fall with\nthe wavering strength of the old soldiers who carry them. And in this\nsame sweetly sad procession march with faltering steps the men who wore\nthe gray and the sturdy step of those who, now belonging to a rising\ngeneration, wear the blue of the reunited union.\nBut perhaps even more inspiring than the uniforms of gray were the\nwomen of the South, Daughters of the Revolution, school-girls,\nDaughters of the Confederacy, many of them wives or widows of old\ncomrades--the bravest army of home-defenders, valor-inspiring soldiers\nthat ever dared not only to die but to let die all that was highest and\ndearest in one common cause. Impressive is the marching of men. But the\nmarching of women--it is different, wonderfully, beautifully different.\nWhat was said may soon be forgotten, but what was seen by those who\ngathered at the grave will live forever in the memory of all those who\nsaw. Above the opening of the last resting-place of General Longstreet\nthe two flags he loved so well were again crossed and stacked for the\nbivouac that knows no waking. Just as the near relatives and dearest\nfriends were gathered about the grave, there stepped up an old veteran\nand delivered the Stars and Bars as the last, loving message from\nGeneral Jenkins, of North Carolina. With this old flag and the Stars\nand Stripes, the General was buried.\nThen, just as the body was about to be lowered, another figure bent\nwith the ravages of time and trembling with the emotion that bespeaks\na tender heart and brave courage made his way to the circle about the\ngrave. His interruption of the services was beautiful beyond all hope\nof describing.\n\u201cI want,\u201d he said, and he hesitated not as one who has forgotten some\ncarefully prepared speech, but rather as one whose heart was getting\nthe better of his attempt at expression, \u201cI want to bury this jacket,\nmy old gray jacket, with my General. I\u2019ve got my papers, too, my\nenlistment papers. They\u2019re all here, and they\u2019re all clean. I wasn\u2019t\nan officer, but I belonged to Longstreet\u2019s command, and I\u2019d rather be\na private in the old corps than, than---- Well, I\u2019ve served my time,\nand the General, he\u2019s served his time, too. And I reckon I won\u2019t need\nmy uniform and papers again. But I\u2019d like to leave them with him for\nalways. They were enlisted under his command, and as I don\u2019t ever want\nto be mustered out again, I\u2019d just like to leave them with him always,\nif you don\u2019t mind.\u201d\nAnd as no one minded unless it was in the most beautiful way possible,\nthe faded gray jacket and the enlistment papers were lowered with the\ncrossed flags of two republics and many floral offerings as a last\nloving tribute to General Longstreet, who, with the final sounding of\ntaps, again passed for ever and ever to his waiting commander and his\nold command.\nTRIBUTES FROM THE PRESS\n(_Washington, D. C., Post._)\n \u201cHis are as noble ashes as rest beneath the sod of any land.\u201d\nWe think it safe to say that there is something in the suggestion that\nthese late attacks on General Longstreet\u2019s action at the battle of\nGettysburg have for their inspiration a political bitterness of more\nthan thirty years\u2019 standing. Certainly, it is true that up to the\nclose of the Civil War, and, indeed, for several years afterwards,\nno one ever heard a question raised as to his military ability. On\nthe contrary, it was everywhere conceded, especially by his immediate\ncomrades and associates, that he stood almost at the top of the list of\nConfederate warriors, not only in the matter of professional equipment,\nbut in that of personal integrity and character. With the exception\nof Robert E. Lee, Longstreet was regarded as the very prince of the\nfighters, strategists, and great commanders of that heroic episode. If\nany one had hinted, even as late as 1869, that there was the smallest\nflaw in his fame, either as a soldier or a gentleman, the author of the\nintimation would have had enough quarrels on his hands to last him to\nhis dying day.\nAlong in the later sixties, however, Longstreet was a resident\nof New Orleans. He had engaged in business there, having as his\npartner Colonel Owen, another Southern soldier of high standing and\ndistinguished service. The shadow of reconstruction was then brooding\nover the South, and thoughtful men, who had accepted the result of the\nwar in loyal faith, consulted together as to the best means of averting\nits evils, which were at that time sufficiently defined. Finally, in\n1870 or 1871, the so-called \u201cUnification Movement\u201d was launched. At\nits head were numbers of the most prominent and influential men in\nLouisiana, and conspicuous among them was Beauregard. The project\nwas discussed by the newspapers and generally approved in the more\nsubstantial and responsible circles. At last a meeting was called for\nthe purpose of bringing together the best representatives of both\nraces and arranging, if possible, a course of action which would make\nfor peace and order and avert the turmoil that afterwards succeeded\nto the irruption of the carpet-baggers and the consequent _r\u00e9gime_\nof chaos. Before the appointed day, however, Longstreet\u2019s coadjutors\nexperienced a change of heart. They abandoned the experiment which\nthey themselves had devised, and Longstreet was left almost without\ncountenance or sympathy. With characteristic determination, he adhered\nto the policy his judgment and conscience had originally approved.\nOf course, it came to nothing, and he, stung by what he regarded as\nthe desertion of the others, and still more deeply hurt by criticisms\nshowered on him, often from the ranks of his quondam associates,\nwent on as he had begun. Then began the breach which in time widened\nto animosity, ostracism, and lifelong alienation. He may have been\nmistaken. At least he was courageous and consistent. But we feel sure\nit cannot be successfully denied that doubts as to his military genius\nwere cradled in that unhappy episode.\nWe have no idea of participating in any controversy over the details of\nGettysburg. That may be left to the survivors who were in a position\nto form intelligent opinions. For our part, we think of Longstreet now\nas all of his compatriots thought of him up to 1870--that he was one\nof the finest figures on the stage of the Civil War; a spectacle of\nperfect gallantry; an example of warlike force and splendor. We do not\nbelieve he ever received an order from Lee which he did not execute\nwith instant energy. We do not believe he failed in anything, either\nthere or elsewhere, that became a valorous and brilliant soldier. He\nis dead now, and cannot answer his accusers, but nearly forty years\nhave elapsed since he sheathed his stainless sword in 1865, and, in our\ncalm, dispassionate opinion, his are as noble ashes as rest beneath the\nsod of any land.\n(_Jacksonville, Florida, Times-Union._)\n \u201cPeace and honor to his storm-driven soul.\u201d\nNow that James Longstreet is no more, the South should forgive the\nestrangement that followed long years of service. Perhaps he was wiser\nthan we--perhaps to-day we are not very far from the position he took\na generation ago. Perhaps his greatness as a soldier was largely due\nto the same qualities which set his people in opposition to him in\ncivil life--he had utter confidence in his own judgment, and he went\nstraight for what he thought was right regardless of all prudential\nconsiderations.\nWe have accepted the result of the war in good faith--let us accept\nall that goes with it in our hearts and minds. Others advised while\nLongstreet acted--once we hated him because he headed our foes to\nmake us keep order; were the riots against which Longstreet stood\nin New Orleans to be repeated in Atlanta, we know Gordon or Wheeler\nwould head the regulars to restore peace and order if their counsels\nwere disregarded. The time makes a difference to the sufferers--but\nnot to the historian through whose glasses we can now afford to look.\nLongstreet is dead--weave violets and amaranth in his wreath of\nlaurel--peace and honor to his storm-driven soul.\n(_Shelby, North Carolina, Aurora._)\n \u201cHero of two wars punished for his politics in days of peace.\u201d\nA camp of United Confederate Veterans at Wilmington, at a regular\nmeeting, declined to send resolutions of condolence and sympathy to the\nfamily of General Longstreet on his death.\nAnd yet General Longstreet was a\nHero of two wars.\nHe was the \u201cWar-Horse of the Confederacy.\u201d\nHe was in the thickest of the fight from Manassas to Appomattox.\nHe was familiarly known throughout the army as \u201cOld Pete,\u201d and was\nconsidered the hardest fighter in the Confederate service.\nHe had the unbounded confidence of his troops, and \u201cthe whole army\nbecame imbued with new vigor in the presence of the foe when it became\nknown down the line that \u2018Old Pete\u2019 was up.\u201d\nWhy, then, did not the Wilmington camp pass those resolutions?\nBecause General Longstreet was a Republican. For this reason he was\nHated,\nAbused,\nSlandered.\nHe was charged with disobeying General Lee\u2019s most vital orders at\nGettysburg, causing the loss of the battle and the ultimate destruction\nof the Confederacy.\n(_Biblical, North Carolina, Record._)\n \u201cSo long as Lee lived no one attacked Longstreet\u2019s military\n honor.\u201d\nGeneral Longstreet was a great general. He was an able strategist,\na hard fighter, and a faithful soldier. So long as Lee lived no one\ncharged Longstreet with failure to make the fanciful sunrise attack on\nthe second day at Gettysburg. But when Lee had died, this calumny was\nstarted, and it was used in hounding him to the day of his death--on\nthat day certain misguided Daughters of the Confederacy refusing\nto send flowers for his bier. Longstreet was the victim of a foul\npersecution by a partisan press--the like of which we see nowadays at\never-increasing intervals. They did not approve his ideas, and they\nruined him. He advised the South to accept the results of the war; his\nbusiness was taken from him, his friends were estranged, and his life\nwas made a burden.\nHis magnificent services deserved better reward. But history will give\nhim his place; intolerance even now is departing; and as for Longstreet\nhimself, he stands to-night before the Judge of all the world.\n(_St. Louis Globe-Democrat._)\n \u201cRepublicanism does not necessarily involve treason to the South.\u201d\nOne aspect of General Longstreet\u2019s career from Appomattox till his\ndeath the other day brings out a very unlovely attribute which was\nobtrusive in the South during these years. That was the ostracism\nto which he was subject because he joined the Republican party and\naccepted two or three offices from Republican Presidents. This\nantagonism towards him by a large portion of the old Confederate\nelement gradually diminished as a new generation in the South appeared\non the scene. Some of the feeling, however, remained to the close of\nhis days, and evinced itself in the obituaries of many of the Southern\npapers.\nA few facts are sufficient to expose the absurdity of this Southern\nantagonism to Confederates who cast their fortunes with the Republicans\nafter the Confederacy fell--this feeling that an adherent of the lost\ncause must cling everlastingly to the Democratic party through evil and\ngood reports under the penalty of eternal proscription. In the score of\nyears from Longstreet\u2019s graduation from West Point to his resignation,\nshortly after Sumter\u2019s fall, he was in the army, and a participant\nin the wars in Mexico and along the frontier in which the army was\nengaged. The probability is that until after Appomattox he never cast\na ballot in his life. Moreover, at the time of his graduation, many of\nthe South\u2019s most prominent statesmen--Tyler, Brownlow, Toombs, Legare,\nBell, Clayton, Upshur, Henry T. Wise, Botts, Alexander H. Stephens, and\nothers--were Whigs. The Whig, Zachary Taylor, of Louisiana, carried\nmore Southern States than did his Democratic antagonist, Cass.\nWhat warrant had the South for proscribing Longstreet, because he,\na soldier who never had any politics in the old days, joined the\nRepublican party just as soon as he became a civilian and got a\nchance to exercise his privileges as a citizen? Mosby, Mahone, and\nmany other ex-Confederates who had been civilians before the war, and\nwho, presumably, had taken some part in politics, also joined the\nRepublican party, though they did not do this quite so promptly as did\nLongstreet. When Foote, of Mississippi, and Orr, of South Carolina,\nboth of whom had been prominent in Democratic politics before the war,\nthe latter of whom had been Speaker of the House in part of Buchanan\u2019s\ndays in the Presidency, and both of whom had been in the Confederate\nservice, became Republicans soon after the Confederacy collapsed, their\nneighbors ought to have grasped the fact that there must have been\nsomething in this party which appealed to intelligent public-spirited\nmen of all localities, and that membership in it by a South Carolinian,\na Georgian, or a Louisianian did not necessarily and inevitably involve\ntreason either to the South\u2019s interests or to its traditions. Mixed\nin with the many shining virtues of the people below Mason and Dixon\u2019s\nline, there was, as shown in their attitude for many years towards\nLongstreet, one very unattractive trait.\n(_Vicksburg, Mississippi, Herald._)\n \u201cThere was no more magnificent display of heroism during the\n entire war than at Gettysburg.\u201d\nAs truly as Warwick was the last of the barons of the feudal era, was\nLongstreet the last of the great Confederate commanders. He rose to\nprominence in the early engagements of the war--his was a household\nname as one of the chief hopes of the cause, when those of all the\nremaining survivors of like rank were colonels and brigadiers. At\nthe first Manassas, Williamsburg, Seven Pines, Seven Days\u2019 fight,\nthe second Manassas, Sharpsburg, and Fredericksburg he was the chief\nsubordinate figure except where he divided the honors with Stonewall\nJackson. And after the death of that very Napoleon of war, until the\n_ultimo suspiro_ at Appomattox, Longstreet was Lee\u2019s right hand; or, as\nour great commander fondly called him, \u201cmy old war-horse.\u201d How highly\nhe was held at head-quarters and the war department was shown in his\nbeing made the senior lieutenant-general, even over Jackson, after the\n1862 test by fire.\nAt Gettysburg Longstreet was in charge of the fighting line, of placing\nthe divisions in action, on the second and third days of that Titanic\nstruggle. Whatever may be said of the result,--of the errors which\nmisinformation and sycophancy have attempted to make him the scapegoat\nof,--there was no more magnificent display of heroism during the entire\nwar.\nIt has not been the Southern fashion of late years to praise, or even\npractise justice towards, Longstreet. But now that the stout warrior\nis dead and gone to eternal judgment, all should speak of his virtues,\nhis glorious deeds of arms, without thought or reference to that sad\nerror of judgment that, no smaller in its intent and inception than \u201ca\nman\u2019s hand,\u201d grew to a dark cloud between Longstreet and his people.\nThis will be appreciated by survivors of the old First Corps, no good\nsoldier of which has ever failed to repeat with pride, \u201cI followed\nLongstreet.\u201d As one of that band the editor of the _Herald_ has always\nleft criticism of our old chief\u2019s politics to others. If ever the\ninclination came to us, there rose up two pictures of the past that\nforbade,--the heroic and inspiring figure of Longstreet as he rode up\nto Colonel Humphreys of the Twenty-first Mississippi, towards the close\nof that grand \u201ccentre rush\u201d of Barksdale\u2019s brigade that swept Sickles\nand his Third Corps off of the \u201cPeach-Orchard Hill,\u201d at Gettysburg, to\ntell him that Barksdale was killed and to take command of the brigade;\nand Longstreet as he was borne from the front at the Wilderness, all\nfaint and bloody from what seemed a death wound.\nLongstreet is now no more. But there is a thrill in the name that\ncarries his surviving followers backward forty years--recalling the\nroar of cannon, the charging column, the \u201crebel\u201d yell, the groans of\nwounded and dying comrades. For,\n \u201cThere where Death\u2019s brief pang was quickest,\n And the battle\u2019s wreck lay thickest--\n There be sure was Longstreet charging,\n There he ne\u2019er shall charge again.\u201d\n(_Bainbridge, Georgia, Searchlight._)\n \u201cRobbed of the laurels won in peerless campaigns.\u201d\nThe death of General Longstreet at his Gainesville home the other day\nremoves one of the few grand actors of the war drama of the sixties.\nHe was known as the \u201cold war-horse of the Confederacy,\u201d and perhaps\nin point of military ability he ranked next to the great Lee himself.\nHis soldiers had the most remarkable confidence in him, and he it was\nwho could inspire them to deeds of valor unparalleled. At times since\nthere have been those who have attempted to cast aspersions on his\nillustrious name, saying that he disobeyed Lee\u2019s orders at Gettysburg.\nA timely article has just been published, and curiously in the same\npaper that conveyed the sad intelligence of his death, from the pen of\nMrs. Longstreet, presumably composed with the aid of the General in\nhis last feeble days, that answers completely and satisfactorily all\ncharges of stubbornness or disobedience at that famous battle. It is\na pity that so great a soldier and military genius should not have\nbeen allowed to have worn the laurels of so many peerless campaigns\nundisturbed and without envy. Now that he is dead his memory should be\nenshrined in the hearts of a grateful people for whose cause he did\nbattle, and the remembrance of his illustrious deeds should be handed\ndown to future generations as those of the knights of the round table.\n(_Thompson, Georgia, Progress._)\n \u201cWould have been court-martialed for disobeying orders at\n Gettysburg.\u201d\nIt is passing strange that any one should make such a charge against\nGeneral Longstreet, in view of the fact that General Lee never made any\nsuch charge; and any sane man knows that he would have made the charge\nhad it been true, and no doubt General Longstreet would have been\ncourt-martialed for such an offence, especially as it is charged that\nthis probably lost the battle to the Confederates.\nGeneral Longstreet was one of the greatest and bravest of the\nConfederate generals, and no man should endeavor to dim the lustre of\nhis brilliant military record or cast reflections upon his good name as\na citizen or doubt his loyalty to the South. No hero that wore the gray\ndeserves more honor and thanks than this gallant Southern hero, who,\nlike Lee, Jackson, Johnston, and a long list of other loyal Southern\nsons resigned a position of prominence in the army of the United States\nand cast his fortunes with his Southern brethren in defense of Southern\nrights, homes, and firesides, and many of whom died for Southern honor.\nSleep on, noble and illustrious soldier and patriot! Thy good name and\nrecord as a soldier is safe from the attacks of politicians, rivals,\nand so-called Daughters of the Confederacy of Savannah!\n(_Houston, Texas, Chronicle._)\n \u201cHe was superior to human vanity or ambition.\u201d\nIt should not be forgotten that when the war began General Longstreet,\nlike General Lee and many others of the South\u2019s illustrious leaders,\nwas an officer in the army of the United States. Had he adhered to the\nUnion, high command awaited him; the siren voice of ambition whispered\nto him of a splendid future of fame and honor and rich reward, while\nhe knew more doubtful was the issue if he heeded the call of duty\nand offered his sword to the South. Yet he did not hesitate. To his\nmother\u2019s cry he responded like the faithful son and hero that he was,\nand proved superior to human vanity or ambition.\nThis being true, it is but fair to presume that whatever step he took\nafterwards was inspired by the high sense of duty, and that he took it\nonly after having taken counsel with his conscience and with due regard\nfor the requirements of patriotism and honor.\nIn every position in civil life, many and responsible as they were,\nhe bore himself with ability, dignity, efficiency, and with stainless\nhonor; there was never a spot upon his official record, but the\ncivilian, as was the soldier, was without reproach.\nIf any man or woman doubts or calls in question the record of James\nLongstreet as a soldier, let him or her ask the veteran Southern\nsoldier who followed him (and there are a number in Houston) what\nthey think of him, and with one voice they will say, \u201cHe was Lee\u2019s\n\u2018war-horse.\u2019 When we heard Longstreet was in the lead or in command, or\nwas coming, we knew that victory would follow the fighting; we trusted\nhim; Lee trusted him; the army trusted him.\u201d\n\u201cWhere beyond these voices there is peace,\u201d the old hero is at rest.\nLittle it recks whether men praise or blame him now--\u201cThe peace of God\nwhich passeth all understanding\u201d is upon him, and history will write\nhim down as he was, a brave, able, faithful soldier, who so loved his\nnative land as to pour out his heroic blood in its defence. Than this\nhe asks no higher praise.\n(_Atlanta, Georgia, Constitution._)\n \u201cTruth will take hold upon the pen of history.\u201d\nA great soldier, in the ripeness of years and yet enduring to the\nlatest breath the pangs of the wounds of four decades ago, has fallen\nupon earth\u2019s final sleep.\nIn the brave days of his earlier soldiership, and then in the strenuous\nyears of one of the world\u2019s most tragic wars, wherein his genius\nlifted him to the next highest rank of generalship, General James\nLongstreet was a conspicuous figure and always a force to be reckoned\nwith. The finest and justest military critics of America and Europe\nhave pronounced him a commander in whom were combined those abilities\nof initiative, strategy, and persistent daring that make the historic\ngeneral of any age or people.\nWhile to others who were concerned in the great campaigns and battles\nof which he was a distinguished factor there may have appeared in his\nacts some incidents for criticism, yet to his immediate officers and\nmen he was ever the ideal soldier and the peerless commander. But in\nthe presence of his shrouded frame, in the revived memories of his\nloyalty and his heroism, and in the knowledge that the seeming errors\nof men in pivotal crises are often the misunderstood interferences of\nthe Supreme Ruler, judgments cease and reverence, gratitude, and honor\nform the threnody at the tomb.\nThe war record of General Longstreet will always remain a theme of\nlaudation by the sons of Southerners. For the reward of it thousands\nrefused to sanction the rebukes his subsequent career sometimes\nengendered among his compatriots. Who that witnessed it can forget the\nembrace given Longstreet by ex-President Davis here in Atlanta and\nthe tremendous ovation that greeted the old hero in his veteran gray\nuniform as he joined in the gala-day made in honor of his disfranchised\nchief?\nGeneral Longstreet\u2019s taking of office under President Grant has\nbeen always a misunderstood transaction. It was not a surrender of\nhis Southern sentiments or an act of disloyalty to the Southern\npeople. At the time when General Grant, feeling the impulses of\nformer comradeship, tendered an office and its emoluments to General\nLongstreet, whose fortunes were in sore straits, the old soldier\nrefused to consider acceptance of the offer until urged to it by\nhis later fellow-soldiers in New Orleans, including Generals Hood,\nBeauregard, Harry Hayes, Ogden, and even Jefferson Davis himself. He\naccepted it in the belief that it was his duty to take any occasion\nfor public service that otherwise would be held in the hands of alien\ncarpet-baggers and haters of the Southern people. But the occasion was\ntoo soon--the passions of the people yet too inflamed. Without full\nknowledge of the inwardness of his conduct the people whom he loved\nheaped upon him a penetrating scorn and livid coals of indignation. He\nwas too brave to complain; too considerate to expose his advisers, and\nhis heroism was never more chivalrous than the long patience with which\nuntil now he has endured the misjudgments of his Southern fellow-men.\nBut these things are naught now to the flown spirit. Hereafter truth\nwill take hold upon the pen of history and rewrite much that has been\nmiswritten of this great son of the South. His stainless integrity, his\ndevotion to the cause of his militant people, his incomparable bravery\nin battle, his superb generalship on campaign, and his later chivalry\nin the calm conduct of his citizenship and public service remain as\nwholesome memories of a world-acclaimed Southern hero.\n(_St. Paul, Minnesota, Pioneer Press._)\n \u201cOstracised by men who did no fighting.\u201d\nThe pestiferous pertinacity with which certain women of the South seize\nevery opportunity to fan the embers of a dying sectional animosity,\nand to blazon their adherence to the principles of the \u201cLost Cause,\u201d\nis again illustrated in the refusal of the Savannah Daughters of the\nConfederacy to send a wreath to be laid on General Longstreet\u2019s grave.\nNext to Robert E. Lee, Longstreet had the reputation of being the\nablest of the officers who fought on the Southern side in the Great\nRebellion. But at the close of the war, satisfied that the Lost Cause\nwas lost forever, and that it was useless to attempt to keep alive\na spirit of revenge,--heart-won, too, by the splendid generosity of\nGrant in his dealings with the defeated army of Lee,--he \u201caccepted the\nsituation;\u201d accepted, too, from the Republican soldier-president the\noffice of surveyor of the port of New Orleans, and addressed all his\npowers to the work of healing the wounds of war and of reuniting the\nsections. For this he was ostracised by the ultra element of Southern\nirreconcilables--an element made up principally of women and of men who\ndid no fighting, and which nurses its bitterness with the unsatisfied\nspirit of the child who, not having finished his cry yesterday,\ninquires to-day, \u201cWhat was I crying about?\u201d in order that he may\nindulge in the luxury of tears once more. The men who fought under and\nwith Longstreet honor his later loyalty to the Union as much as they\ndo his steadfast courage and ability under the \u201cStars and Bars\u201d in the\nbloody sixties. The women who refuse his bier a tribute dishonor only\nthemselves.\n(_Atlanta, Georgia, Journal._)\n \u201cOne of the most gallant spirits of the century.\u201d\nWith the death of General James Longstreet, who was the first ranking\ngeneral of the Confederate army, passes one of the most gallant spirits\nof the nineteenth century.\nOf all the men who fought with conspicuous valor and prowess for the\nConfederate cause, there was none who possessed more leonine courage\nor inspired in his men a greater degree of enthusiastic affection than\nthis chieftain whom Lee dubbed with the title of \u201cMy Old War-Horse\u201d\non the battle-field. That remark of Lee\u2019s was like the touch of an\naccolade upon his shoulders, and no subsequent misunderstandings or\ncriticisms have ever been able to rob him of the place among the\nchivalrous souls of the South to which he was elevated by their\nirreproachable King Arthur, General Lee.\nAnd, in view of the fact that the most choice and master military\nspirits of his age esteemed him to possess tactical ability and\nmilitary judgment equal in degree to his undisputed qualities of\npersistent bravery, such criticisms as there were are scarcely worthy\nof mention and demand no refutation now in any backward glance at his\nbrilliant career. The South can point to his record with pride, as his\nmilitary associates have ever pointed to the man himself with a quick\nand affectionate appreciation. No note of apology should mingle with\nthe praise and grief of those who look to-day with tear-blurred eyes\nupon the soldier\u2019s bier.\nAnd the memory of his actions on the boisterous stage of battle and of\nthe single-hearted, loyal _r\u00f4le_ he played through all the shifting\nscenes of that greatest war-drama of the century should in itself\nconstitute a rebuke to those who have sought to rebuke him for certain\ngenerally misunderstood actions in his subsequent career. He became an\noffice-holder under General Grant, a very, very human thing to do. It\nwas a very, very natural thing that General Grant, who had married the\ncousin of the \u201cOld War-Horse,\u201d and who was, besides, actuated by the\nspirit of a remembered, youthful comradeship, should give his friend,\ncomrade, and relative an office when Longstreet was walking along\nthorny financial paths. And his acceptance, urged as he was to accept\nby his Confederate comrades, was, under the circumstances, very human\nand very natural. He made a good public servant--where could Grant\nhave found a better in those reconstruction days, which were not noted\nfor the excellence of their public servants? Where could Longstreet\nhave better served his own people than by taking an office which might\notherwise have been given to men who were still so inflamed by partisan\nprejudice as to hate those people? His motives were of the highest\nin this acceptance, and his attitude of silently bearing the remarks\nof those who criticised him under a misapprehension stamps his moral\ncourage with the golden seal of a serene nobility.\nHe was misjudged, but he happily lived to see most of those who\nmisjudged him silenced by an exposition of facts which he was too proud\nto set forth himself.\nThe debtor years have rendered back to him the refined coin of a fixed\nfame for his life labor. He is dead, and his place--a high one in the\nworld\u2019s history--is enduring.\n(_Newport, Virginia, News._)\n \u201cThe bravest of the brave.\u201d\nThe Savannah Daughters of the Confederacy, whose custom it is to send\na laurel wreath for the tomb of deceased Confederates, refused to send\none upon the death of General Longstreet a few days ago.\nThe Daughters at Savannah have, we suppose, satisfactorily to\nthemselves, settled the mooted question of the Gettysburg controversy,\nbut we do not believe their action will find applause generally\namong the ex-Confederate soldiers. Whatever may have been the fact\nat Gettysburg, it is beyond dispute that his actions there did not\nestrange his loyal soldiers, nor impair the esteem in which he was held\nby General Lee. The close of the war found him in command of the left\nwing of the army, and he joined General Lee on the way to Appomattox.\nIn referring to his death the Richmond _Times-Dispatch_ says,--\n \u201cWe recall General Longstreet as one of the bravest of the\n brave, one who struck many blows for the Confederacy, and one on\n whom General Lee often leaned and whose name is identified with\n world-famous battles. These are things we cannot forget, nor do\n we wish to.\u201d\nWhatever may be said of the attitude of the South since the war\ntowards General Longstreet, the fact remains that his espousal of the\nRepublican cause in politics did most to invite criticism, and this he\nalways felt was unjust to him.\nIt seems strange that General John B. Gordon should have so bitterly\nattacked General Longstreet, and it is charity to say that he did it\nfrom political reasons, and not by way of challenging war records.\nWith his fresh grave denied its laurel wreath at the hands of the\nSavannah Daughters, and his lifeless lips beyond reply to carping\ncritics, it is refreshing to see that the loyal wife, who walked with\nhim in the evening of life, brings her own wreath of the roses of\nlove, dewy with her tears, and places it upon the grave that holds his\nvaliant dust.\n(Birmingham, Alabama, Ledger.)\n \u201cIn the military annals of the Anglo-Saxon race there is nothing\n finer than his fighting record.\u201d\nThe author of the article on Longstreet, which recently appeared in\nthe _Ledger_ and which we republish below, has been a close student of\nmilitary history, and was personally observant of great movements in\nVirginia during the war:\n \u201cMen of Southern blood who recall the days when the civilized\n world was thrilled with the renown of those great Confederate\n captains, \u2018Lee, Longstreet, and Jackson,\u2019 can scarcely realize\n that the grave has just closed over all that is mortal of the\n stoutest, the steadiest, the most practical, pushing, resolute,\n and stolidly unimaginative fighter of that goodly and immortal\n group. In the military annals of the Anglo-Saxon race there\n is nothing finer than the fighting record of this Old Lion of\n the South. It does not need the formal observances of official\n commemoration to perpetuate the memory of a man who led the\n stanch legions of the Confederacy in victorious fellowship with\n Jackson and Lee. Tradition alone will uplift and applaud his\n name long after monuments have crumbled and Camps and Chapters\n have ceased to exist. None knew better than the great Virginian\n leader that the neck of the \u2018Old War-Horse\u2019 was always clothed\n with thunder when the shock of battle came. Lee never dreamed\n that Longstreet was faithless.\n \u201cEvery American who is proud of our common race must deplore the\n openly manifest disposition of Southern veterans and sons of\n veterans to discredit for all time the great historic soldiers of\n the South. It needs not the perspicacity of a Verulam to inform\n us that the highest virtues are not visible to the common eye.\n The disposition to suspect and besmirch a glorious soldier--a man\n whose leadership immortalized the armies that he led--not only\n betokens a radical change in popular ideals, but apparently marks\n the decadence of that traditional sentiment of chivalry which is\n truly \u2018the unbought grace of life,\u2019 and that generous martial\n spirit which for generations has characterized the great Southern\n branch of the Anglo-American race.\n \u201cThe humblest citizen of this republic has an inalienable\n interest in the heroic memories of the South. Let the Dead Lion\n sleep in peace. Nothing is alien to the true American heart that\n in the least degree concerns the glory of the Old South or the\n interest of the New. It is precisely this sentiment that was\n expressed in the fine chivalry of Grant at Appomattox and won for\n that iron conqueror the lasting affection and respect of the men\n that he had fought. The heroic Longstreet needs no higher eulogy\n than the single phrase, He was the friend of Grant and Lee.\u201d\n(_Macon, Georgia, Telegraph._)\n \u201cNo reproach can be cast upon his bravery and devotion.\u201d\nThe Savannah Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy has made\nitself ridiculous by throwing a brick at the dead lion at Gainesville!\nIt seems a pity that the enterprising news gatherers in the Forest City\nshould have given out to the public the silly action of these young\nwomen. Their offence was a resolution \u201crefusing\u201d to send a wreath to\nlay upon the grave of General Longstreet \u201cbecause he disobeyed orders\nat Gettysburg.\u201d\nThe causes for the drawn battle at the critical point in the history of\nthe struggle of the \u201960\u2019s will be debated while time lasts. So will the\ncauses for the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo. This debate has been and\nwill be participated in by the great commanders of the world. But no\nreproach has been, can, or will be cast upon the bravery or devotion of\nthe famous old fighter whose courage knew no abatement in the hundreds\nof engagements participated in during the trying experiences of three\nwars. Alexander and C\u00e6sar and Napoleon and Grant and Lee made their\nmistakes. So did Longstreet. But how does it seem for a bevy of young\nwomen to pounce upon the cold remains of this battle-scarred veteran\nand hero lying in state and attempt to punish him for an alleged\nmistake made forty years ago in the midst of the roar and clash of the\ngreatest battle in history! Their mothers knew better.\nWe are not surprised that veterans in Savannah feel aggrieved, as they\nmust feel everywhere that the action is known.\nGeneral Gordon believes that Longstreet made a mistake at Gettysburg,\nbut Lee said, \u201cIt is all my fault.\u201d The great chieftain in command made\nno charge against his great fighting arm. Touching this controversy,\nColonel McBride, writing to the Atlanta _Constitution_, says,\n\u201cLongstreet, although a prudent and cautious fighter, was not only\nalways ready to fight, but he was always anxious and wanted to fight.\nOn the second day he was not slow, but was simply putting himself\nin shape to do the bloodiest fight of the war. At least two-thirds\nof the casualties in America\u2019s greatest battle happened in front of\nLongstreet\u2019s corps. Reports show this. The records also show that he\nonly obeyed Lee\u2019s orders to the letter.\u201d\nGrant, however, that Longstreet made a costly mistake, there are times\nother than those at the grave to discuss them; there are persons\nother than young women unborn in those days to administer rebuke or\npunishment.\nIf these young women who sit in judgment at the tomb could not lay a\nflower on the new-made grave of an old war-horse of the Confederacy, it\nseems as if they might have restrained their tongues while the muffled\ndrum passing by rolled its last tattoo.\n(_New York Journal._)\n \u201cAfter a while Southern capitals will be adorned with statues of\n Longstreet; upon his grave \u2018his foeman\u2019s children will loose the\n rose.\u2019\u201d\nAt the age of eighty-three General Longstreet has passed away--a\nnoble character, a good soldier, one of the hardest fighters of the\nCivil War. General Longstreet was pretty badly treated by the people\nwhose battles he fought with so great courage and capacity. He was\nno politician--just a soldier, and at the close of the war committed\nthe error of \u201cfraternizing\u201d with all his countrymen. He \u201caccepted\nthe situation,\u201d not wisely, but too early. With a fine and generous\nunwisdom he laid away the animosities of the war-time and put himself\nat once where all stand now,--on the broad, high ground of American\ncitizenship. No part had he in the provincial conceit of the thing\nthat has the immodesty to call itself a \u201cSouthern gentleman.\u201d It\nprobably never occurred to him that the qualities distinguishing\na gentleman from a pirate of the Spanish Main had so narrow a\ngeographical distribution as the term implies. He paid for his breadth\nof mind--became a kind of social outlaw and political excommunicant\nin \u201cthe land once proud of him.\u201d Briefly, his shipmates marooned him.\nWell, he has escaped--he has \u201cbeaten the game,\u201d as, sooner or later, we\nall conquer without exertion. After a while Southern capitals will be\nadorned with statues of Longstreet and upon his grave posterity will\nsee \u201chis foemen\u2019s children loose the rose.\u201d\n(_New York Tribune._)\n Lee and Longstreet.\nThe death of General James Longstreet, as was to be expected, has\nrevived to some extent the controversies which have raged over\ncertain memorable incidents in his military career. For the last\ntwenty-five years persistent efforts have been made to throw on General\nLongstreet\u2019s shoulders responsibility for Lee\u2019s defeat at Gettysburg.\nNot a few Southern writers have gone so far as to accuse him, if not\nof insubordination, at least of culpable inattention to orders given\nhim by the Confederate commander-in-chief. General John B. Gordon,\nin his recently published reminiscences, revived and amplified these\ncharges against Longstreet, stating explicitly--as his own conclusion\nand as that of impartial military critics generally--that Longstreet\u2019s\nblunders had blasted Confederate hopes at Gettysburg, and that General\nLee \u201cdied believing he had lost by Longstreet\u2019s disobedience.\u201d\nStrangely enough, General Longstreet\u2019s wife had prepared an elaborate\nrefutation of General Gordon\u2019s theories, and had arranged for its\npublication on January 3--the day following General Longstreet\u2019s death.\nWe do not think that history will sustain the contentions of General\nLongstreet\u2019s critics. They are interesting enough as post-mortem\ndemonstrations of what might have been. But they ignore actual\nconditions. They picture a situation which could have existed only as a\nmilitary after-thought. General Longstreet cannot be made a scapegoat\nfor all the sins of hesitation or omission chargeable to Confederate\ncommanders at Gettysburg. General Gordon is himself disposed to censure\nGeneral Lee for not vigorously attacking the Federal forces in their\nnew position on the evening of July 1. He condemns utterly Longstreet\u2019s\nfailure to assault the Federal left wing early in the morning of July\n2. But he waves aside entirely the exhaustion of A. P. Hill\u2019s corps at\nthe conclusion of the first day\u2019s battle and the physical impediments\nto forming and executing an attack on the Federal left wing before noon\nof July 2. That Longstreet\u2019s assault suffered in effectiveness from the\ndelays of July 2 is greatly to be doubted. The fighting done by his\ncorps far excelled in dash and brilliance anything done at Gettysburg\nby Ewell\u2019s corps or A. P. Hill\u2019s. Longstreet bore the brunt of both the\nsecond and third day\u2019s struggle and emerged from the conflict with his\nreputation as a corps commander unimpaired. There is no reason to think\nthat he could have fought more brilliantly or more successfully if he\nhad attempted the attack which General Gordon philosophizes about in\nthe early morning of the second day.\nGeneral Lee at the close of the battle justly and honorably assumed\nentire responsibility for the Confederate defeat. Lee lost at\nGettysburg because on the offensive he seemed incapable of rising to\nthe full height of his military talent. His generalship in his two\nbrief invasions of Northern territory was commonplace.\nIn Lee\u2019s own lifetime not a word of criticism was aimed at Longstreet.\nIt is needless to inquire what influences have conspired to foist\non him the blame for the Confederate failure at Gettysburg. Another\ngeneration of Southern writers will do him more impartial justice. He\nwill certainly be classed hereafter by open-minded critics as one of\nthe ablest and most intelligent of the commanders who fought under the\nSouth\u2019s flag in the Civil War.\n\u201cNo Southern man suffered more or deserved it less.\u201d\nThe death of General Longstreet removes from the world\u2019s stage of\naction one who in time of war had his name and his deeds sounded by the\ntrumpet of fame throughout the civilized world. He was a conspicuous\nfigure in the eyes of the world, and his name was at one time familiar\nto and honored in every Confederate household. He was Lee\u2019s Rock of\nGibraltar that never failed to stem the tides of assault, and when he\nled, in his turn, the attack, he was a thunder-bolt of war that never\nfailed to strike with terrible effect. In council he was calm and\ncalculated well and closely all the chances of conflict, in scales well\nbalanced, and, as a rule, with almost unerring exactness.\nHe was essentially a soldier, whose education, training, and services\nfor a generation in years made his enforced change to civil life\npractically the adoption of a new life at total variance to that\nin which he has always been a conspicuous and a noted figure. His\nwas a lovable nature, loyal to principle and to truth, and when his\nconfidence was secured his trust was sure to follow.\nThat trait in his character was the cause of the ban under which he\nsuffered for such a long period from the Southern people, and, as many\nan old Confederate veteran will now say, with such injustice.\nAt the time the storm of ostracism first burst in fury over his head I\nwas an official of the State of Mississippi and resided at Jackson, the\nState capital, and I was then, as I am now, familiar with the cause of\nthe outbreak of public sentiment against him. Let me explain that there\nhad been on the part of the Southern people a practical nullification\nof the Federal laws regarding the negro and his rights so recently\nconferred, and it was hard for Southern people to swallow the doctrine\nof equality in anything where the negro was concerned.\nThe entire South was in a tempestuous turmoil that threatened the\nvery foundations of society, by rising like the storm-tossed waves of\ntempestuous seas and sweeping away the barriers that had been erected\nagainst the domination of the Southern whites. At this juncture\nprominent and influential leaders of public thought, who saw the coming\nstorm, at a conference held in New Orleans explained the situation\nto certain popular and influential ex-Confederate generals then\nresidents of that city, and represented to them that an appeal by them\nto their old soldiers to accept the situation, obey the Federal laws,\nand maintain peace and order would result in great good and assist in\nallaying the suppressed, indeed often open, excitement of the people.\nThey were appealed to as patriots to come to the rescue of their people\nand lead them in peace as they had in war.\nThe text of a letter to be written by each was then outlined, and at\na second conference each submitted his letter. The substance of all\nthe letters was identical, each with the others. They were published\nin the New Orleans papers simultaneously to insure the object in view,\nthe influencing of public opinion. Their publication aroused a storm of\nreproach and denunciation that was without measure.\nInstead of acting like oil on the troubled waters, they provoked the\nfury of the tempest, and the authors of the letters were overwhelmed\nwith letters of protest and reproach.\nExplanation after explanation by the authors (save General Longstreet)\nthat amounted to public retraction, followed. Longstreet, firm as the\nrock of Gibraltar, bared his breast to the storm and proudly declared\nthat he had nothing to retract. He explained the circumstances under\nwhich he had written the letter, cited its approval by leaders of\npublic thought, and declared that the sentiment of the letter but\nexpressed his honest convictions, and he stood by it. Every old veteran\nof Longstreet\u2019s corps who reads this will say, \u201cThat\u2019s just like old\nPete.\u201d He could have saved his popularity had he sacrificed principle.\nBut like the noble Roman that he was, he could, in weighing one against\nthe other, defiantly proclaim\n \u201cThese walls, these columns fly\n From their firm base as soon as I.\u201d\nI was among the few who saw nothing then in any of the letters to merit\nthe disapproval of the Southern people; and looking through \u201cthe vista\nof time\u201d back to those days, I can say in all candor and sincerity\nthat had the seed of Longstreet\u2019s advice fallen in ground ripe for\nit, reconstruction would have been shorn of many of the evils that\naccompanied it and blighted the land. Some time after these occurrences\nGeneral Longstreet made a trip through territory in Mississippi from\nwhich his mercantile firm derived much business. One day Governor\nHumphreys said to me, \u201cGeneral Longstreet is coming this way. If he\ncomes here, what would you do?\u201d Instantly I replied, \u201cI would not wait\nfor him to come, but I would insist on his coming, and tell him that he\nwould be welcomed at the governor\u2019s mansion.\u201d He directed me to write\nthe invitation, saying, \u201cI had made up my mind to so act, for nothing\ncould make me turn my back on \u2018old Pete.\u2019 I served under him too long\nto do that.\u201d He accepted the invitation and was the guest of the\ngovernor. In honoring him the governor set an example that the whole\ntown followed, and the period of his stay was almost a constant levee.\nOn me was placed the special and agreeable duty of attendance upon him.\nI was with him much of the time and participated in conversations in\nwhich the letter that brought to him only woe was discussed. Never did\na bitter word pass his lips in denunciation of those who led him to the\nslaughter and themselves stepped aside and raised no hand to help him.\nHe declared that the letter expressed his true sentiments, and that it\nwas written after deliberate thought. It proved to be unfortunate, and\nthough he was then reaping only thorns from it, time would vindicate\nhim and his course. He bore his fate like an ancient Stoic. I count\nmy association with him at this time as among the most pleasant of a\ncheckered life. I never saw him again.\nGeneral Joseph E. Johnston, of whose staff I was a member, told me\nwith his own lips that the plan by which the army of Stonewall Jackson\nwas withdrawn from the valley and hurled on the flank of McClellan\nwas first suggested to him by Longstreet. He said that the idea had\noccurred to him, but at a time when it was not feasible. But just\nprevious to the battle of Seven Pines, Longstreet submitted a plan that\nhe had matured, that met his favor and determined him to adopt it.\nAt the battle that almost immediately occurred he was incapacitated\nby wounds and General Lee assumed command. Shortly after, Jackson\u2019s\nforce was transferred from the valley and hurled on the Federal flank.\nWe know with what result. The plan was communicated to General Lee\nshortly after his accession to command. The plan which General Lee\nadopted may have been his own, but the idea first originated in the\nsoldierly brain of Longstreet. Again, at the second Manassas, when\nLongstreet, to the rescue of Jackson, debouched through \u201cThoroughfare\nGap,\u201d a glance at the field showed him Jackson\u2019s peril, and his\nmasterful, soldierly ability needed no general in command to direct\nhim as to the placing of his battalions. Like a thunder-bolt of war\nhis command struck the Federal army. Jackson was saved and the victory\nwas won. Space forbids further prolixity, while the theme invites it.\nLet me say that no Southern man suffered more at the hands of the\nSouthern people and deserved it less. I uncover my head in honor to his\nmemory and bid him \u201call hail and farewell!\u201d Little cares he now for the\nplaudits of the world or the censure of his critics. When a chapter\nof the Daughters of the Confederacy refused a wreath to his remains,\nJeff Davis, Lee, Stonewall Jackson, the two Johnstons, and a host of\nothers gone before, were giving him brotherly welcome in the city of\nthe living God, and his old corps who have crossed the river joined in\nshouts of welcome to his knightly soul. Let us all feel that\n \u201cAfter life\u2019s fitful fever he sleeps well.\u201d\n _Ex-Colonel and Chief Ordnance Officer, Army of Tennessee, C. S.

Lee told Longstreet afterwards that he\nhad done as well as he could. He had no criticism to make. Gordon was\nin no position to judge the merits of the case. Longstreet was on my\nfront. I led the Third Corps on the second day. The fighting was on\nHancock\u2019s front on the third day. He was in the centre. I guess every\none who was there knew that Longstreet fought brilliantly. Longstreet\nwas practically in command of the Confederate fighting on both the\nsecond and third days. If Lee had been dissatisfied on the second day,\nhe would not have let Longstreet command on the third day. As a matter\nof fact the Confederates had no better fighter than Longstreet.\u201d\n(_Macon, Georgia, Telegraph._)\n \u201cHis record needs no defence.\u201d\nTo THE EDITOR OF THE TELEGRAPH:\nThe able editorial in your issue of several days ago touching the\nSavannah incident in which the Daughters of the Confederacy refused to\nsend flowers to the funeral of General Longstreet, assigning as the\nreason \u201cthat General Longstreet refused to obey the order of General\nLee at Gettysburg,\u201d met a responsive chord in the hearts of many old\nveterans of the Confederate army.\nLongstreet\u2019s war record, like that of Stonewall Jackson\u2019s, needs no\ndefence. History is replete with his grand deeds of chivalry, and\nplaces his name high in the ranks of the great commanders of the\nCivil War. The rank and file who fought under this great and intrepid\ncommander know that he was incapable of such conduct, and the only\ntongue that could convince them otherwise was forever stilled when our\npeerless Lee passed over the river.\nIn the first battle of Manassas, at Seven Pines, when he lead the main\nattack, at Gaines Mill, Frazier\u2019s Farm, Malvern Hill, and at second\nManassas, when the illustrious Stonewall Jackson was being sorely\npressed by the entire army of General Pope, he hurried to Jackson\u2019s\nrelief, and together gained one of the greatest victories of the\nwar. He commanded the right wing of our army on the bloody field of\nSharpsburg, and was in the thickest of the fight during the entire\nbattle. At the battle of Fredericksburg he commanded the left wing of\nthe army, where the assault proved most fatal to the enemy. In all\nof these battles, and others I do not now recall, General Longstreet\nparticipated, winning fresh laurels in each fight.\nAt Gettysburg during the second and third days of the battle he\ncommanded the right wing of the army, and I never saw an officer more\nconspicuous and daring upon the battle-field. One of the most lasting\npictures made upon my mind during the war, and which still lingers\nin my memory, was in connection with this officer. While in line of\nbattle during the terrible cannon duel between the two armies, when\nat a signal our cannons ceased firing, I saw General Longstreet as he\nmotioned his staff back, sitting superbly in his saddle, gallop far out\nin our front in full view and range of more than one hundred of the\nenemy\u2019s cannon, stop his horse, and, standing up in his stirrups, place\nhis field glasses to his eyes and deliberately and for some time view\nthe enemy\u2019s line of battle, while shells were bursting above and around\nhim so thick that at intervals he was hidden from sight by the smoke\nfrom exploding shells. His object having been accomplished, he turned\nhis horse and slowly galloped back to his line of battle. No officer\nupon the battle-field of Gettysburg displayed greater courage than\nLongstreet, and his presence upon the battle-field, like that of Lee\nand Jackson, was always worth a thousand men.\nGeneral Lee trusted Longstreet implicitly, and every act of his from\nthe time he assumed command of the Army of Northern Virginia to\nAppomattox Court-House sustains this assertion. When President Davis\nrequested General Lee to send to the relief of General Bragg, who was\nhard pressed by Sherman, he sent his old \u201cwar-horse,\u201d and, true to\nhis mission, Longstreet reached Chickamauga in time to turn the tide\nof battle in favor of the South. Afterwards he was ordered to drive\nthe Federal army under General Burnside from East Tennessee, which he\nably accomplished, driving him behind his entrenchment at Knoxville,\nTennessee.\nWhen General Grant attacked General Lee at the Wilderness--the second\nbattle in magnitude of the war--and by overwhelming numbers was driving\nour army back, Longstreet by forced marches reached the field in time\nto snatch from Grant a victory almost won. Here he received a wound\nwhich nearly cost him his life, and which, perhaps, saved Grant\u2019s army\nfrom being driven into the Rappahannock.\nAt Appomattox Court-House, \u201cwhere ceased forever the Southern soldiers\u2019\nhope,\u201d General Lee asked his old war-horse, if the necessity should\narise, to lead the remnant of the army out, and he was ready to do so,\nand would have done so had not General Grant granted honorable terms of\nsurrender. Would General Lee have trusted General Longstreet after the\nbattle of Gettysburg had he been in the least disloyal to his commands?\nImpartial history will ever link the names of Lee, Jackson, and\nLongstreet upon the brightest page of the history of the incomparable\nArmy of Northern Virginia. One word more about Gettysburg. I happened\nto be there (but at the time would have liked to have been elsewhere),\nand I decided then and am still of the opinion that the Yankees are to\nblame for our defeat.\n Respectfully,\n(_Raleigh, North Carolina, Post._)\n \u201cThe idol of the Army of Northern Virginia.\u201d\nIf the conduct of some of our people towards General Longstreet, the\ngreat soldier, just dead, was not pitiful, it would be brutal.\nHe, the stubborn fighter of all our armies, the trusted arm of General\nLee, the idol of the Army of Northern Virginia, dead, forty years after\nhis many battles and the establishment of his undying fame, is refused\nby some of the daughters and granddaughters of the men who fought and\nfell under his banners, a wreath of flowers for his grave--a grave\nthat makes hallowed the land that holds it; is refused a resolution of\npraise, by the sons and grandsons of the men who cheered his plume,\nas it waved them to victory. Why is this? A silly story attributed\nto General Lee, published after Lee\u2019s death, by General Gordon upon\nthe authority of Fitz. Lee. The story contained the charge that the\nfaithful \u201cOld War-Horse,\u201d as General Lee affectionately dubbed him,\nfailed, wilfully, or from other cause, to obey orders at Gettysburg.\nCan this story be true? That depends upon two contingencies, neither\nof which the wildest of General Longstreet\u2019s defamers have dared to\nformulate: first, that General Lee was lacking in candor, or, secondly,\nhe did not know his best soldiers. Can either of these propositions be\ntrue? A thousand times no.\nWe all, or at least those of us who had the honor of serving in the\nArmy of Northern Virginia, recall that in September, 1863, it became\nnecessary to detach a portion of that army to send west to relieve\nBragg, then being driven south by Rosecrans from Chattanooga; we\nalso remember that, with all of his general officers to select from,\nincluding Gordon and Fitz. Lee, General Lee selected General Longstreet\nto lead his immortal battalion, and the fame of how well he performed\nthat proud duty is still ringing in the ears of all who love honor and\nglory.\nWould General Lee have selected General Longstreet, miscalled by malice\nand envy \u201cthe slow,\u201d \u201cthe disobeyer of orders,\u201d \u201cthe loser of the\nbattle of Gettysburg,\u201d and so of the Southern cause, if he could have\nfound in all his army one general braver or more competent? Surely not.\nThis fact established, and established it is (and it also establishes\nGeneral Lee\u2019s unshaken confidence in his \u201cOld War-Horse\u201d), what becomes\nof the improbable story of Fitz. Lee? It is a matter of common history\nthat the fighting soldiers of 1861-65 have been silent since. This at\nleast is true of the Southern soldiers, and pity \u2019tis true, because our\nown General R. F. Hoke, fighting then, silent since, could add rich\nchapters to the history of those Titanic days, if he would only speak.\nWith this conclusive evidence of General Lee\u2019s faith in General\nLongstreet, how pitiful is the unearned slander that has made the\nreputation of so many babblers. Longstreet a traitor or imbecile! Out\nupon it!\nOne other equally conclusive refutation of this miserable story is:\nIn 1866 General Lee, it seems, determined to write the story of his\ncampaigns,--\u201chis object to disseminate the truth\u201d (would his example\nhad been contagious),--at the close of an affectionate letter to\nGeneral Longstreet uses these words--words which General Longstreet\nmight have claimed as a charter of nobility, had he not already had\nhis glorious war record to ennoble him:\n \u201cI had while in Richmond a great many inquiries after you, and\n learned you intended commencing business in New Orleans. If\n you make as good a merchant as you were a soldier, I shall be\n content. No one will excel you, and no one can wish you more\n success or more happiness than I. My interest and affection for\n you will never cease, and my prayers are always offered for your\n prosperity.\n \u201cI am most truly yours,\nDoes any sane man, or silly woman either, believe the noble heart that\ninspired these words could have asked its tongue to utter the things\nof General Longstreet that have been falsely attributed to it. Can\nargument be more cogent or conclusion more conclusive?\nGeneral Gordon is, I hope, with General Longstreet. Both are at rest,\nand I know the \u201cOld War-Horse\u201d of the Army of Northern Virginia, in\nthe presence of his grand old chief, has forgiven his comrade the\nwrongs done him here. Peace to the ashes of both, the wronged and the\nwrong-doer.\n _Formerly of First N. C. Infantry_.\n(_Washington, D. C., Star._)\n \u201cLongstreet came out of the war with a record for courage and\n loyalty second to none.\u201d\nGeneral Thomas L. Rosser, of Virginia, who commanded a regiment at\nGettysburg, and who was with the Army of Northern Virginia from the\nfirst battle to the surrender, bitterly resents the criticism of\nGeneral Longstreet\u2019s course at Gettysburg. General Rosser was appointed\nan officer in the Spanish War by President McKinley, and in recent\nyears has been acting with the Republican party. Reviewing the work\nof some of the great Confederate generals, General Rosser said to a\nreporter for the _Star_:\n\u201cWith the death of General Longstreet passes the last of the great\nsoldiers of the Army of Northern Virginia. He fought alone the battle\nof the 18th of July, 1861, and won the first victory of that splendid\narmy. He shared in the glory of the great battles that army fought.\n\u201cLongstreet and Lee, as soldiers, were similar in many respects. Both\nwere great defensive generals, but neither can be classed among the\nsuccessful offensive generals of history.\n\u201cTake Jackson, for instance. His campaign from Kernstown to Port\nRepublic, in the Valley of Virginia, in 1862, was as brilliant as\nthe first Italian campaign of the great Napoleon. He drew McDowell\nfrom Fredericksburg. He left Shields, Fremont, and Banks confused as\nto his whereabouts, dashed across the mountains, joined Lee on the\n26th of June, striking McClellan the surprise blow, forced him to\nthe James, and raised the siege of Richmond. With the despatch of\nlightning he wheeled around, met Pope at Cedar Mountain, stopped his\nadvance upon Lee\u2019s rear and flank, held him until Lee could arrive with\nreinforcements, passed to his rear, and fought the battle of the 28th\nof September at Groveton Heights; opened the way for Lee to press on\nwith his army, and crowned the campaign with the successful battle of\nthe second Bull Run. He crossed the Potomac with Lee, was detached,\nsent back, captured Harper\u2019s Ferry, and joined Lee at Sharpsburg in\ntime to stop McClellan and save Lee\u2019s army. In May, 1863, when Lee was\nhesitating in the Wilderness, believing that Hooker\u2019s movement below\nFredericksburg was a serious one, with the foresight of genius Jackson\npronounced it a feint, urged Lee to allow him to move around Hooker\u2019s\nright, which, in audacity, boldness, and brilliancy seemed to paralyze\nLee, and while on this wonderful march Sickles got between him and Lee\nwith an army nearly equal his own. Jackson pressed on, turned Hooker\u2019s\nright, as he contemplated, dissipated the Eleventh Corps and all its\nsupport, and was within a half-mile of his goal, the Bullock house,\nhad he gained possession of which Hooker\u2019s retreat would have been\nimpossible and he would have been at the mercy of the Confederate army,\nwhen he was shot and mortally wounded by his own men.\n\u201cLee, then in command of an army that knew no defeat, and not realizing\nthat his great offensive general had been taken from the army,\ncommitted the fatal blunder of attempting an invasion of the North.\nAt no time during that campaign did he move with celerity, man\u0153uvre\nto the surprise of the enemy, or do anything of a brilliant character\nmarking him with the genius of war. The battle of Gettysburg was lost\nthe first day, although the Confederates claimed a victory, and it\nmight have been turned into a victory had Lee been a master of the art\nof aggressive warfare. But he followed up the first day with a stubborn\nattack of the enemy in an intrenched position, and, failing to dislodge\nhim, seemed to hesitate and his plans seemed to be confused. Finally he\ncommitted a great error in attacking a superior enemy in an intrenched\nposition at the strongest point.\n\u201cIn the history of battles very few generals have ever made an attack\nof the centre of the enemy\u2019s position, and history gives only one\nexample of where such an attack has been successful. That was the\nbattle of Wagram, where the great Napoleon deceived the Archduke\nCharles by so threatening his flank as to cause him to weaken his\ncentre, when, quick as a flash, Napoleon struck the centre of the enemy\nwith MacDonald and his reserves. But then the world has only given us\none Napoleon, and the Western hemisphere has given us only one Jackson.\n\u201cWhen Lee\u2019s army was beaten from the fatal attack which he ordered\non the 3d of July, he rode among his fleeing soldiers, begging them\nto rally and reform on Seminary Ridge, telling them that it was his\nfault that they had failed and not their own. No criticism was made of\nLongstreet at that time. Longstreet was retained in the most important\ncorps of Lee\u2019s army and served honorably and faithfully under Lee to\nthe end.\n\u201cAt Appomattox Longstreet, with Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia,\nat the close of a most glorious achievement, honestly surrendered. The\nSouthern Confederacy was eliminated from the map of the world, its flag\nwas forever furled, and all soldiers who surrendered there had either\nto return to the Union and become loyal to the flag of their country\nor remain hypocrites and traitors, which they could not do if they had\nhonestly surrendered and accepted the terms that Grant had given them.\n\u201cLongstreet came out of the war with a record for courage, devotion to\nthe cause he had espoused, and loyalty to the Stars and Bars second to\nnone. Disabled by wounds, his right arm hanging lifeless and helpless\nat his side, his profession, that of a soldier, gone, he turned his\nattention to civil pursuits, and was struggling for a living when his\nold friend Grant, the President of the United States, offered him\nservice in the government. Lee was dead. Southern politicians had\nexpected Longstreet to keep the fires of Southern antipathy to the\nNorth alive, and as they were seeking to inflame the passions of the\npeople as a basis upon which to unite the South and to fuse with the\ncopperhead party in the North, as a means for repossessing themselves\nof a government they had lost by the results of the war, this action\nof Longstreet in accepting the offer of Grant tended to break their\ninfluence with the old soldiers of the South.\n\u201cTo counteract that they brought up the charge of disloyalty and\ndisobedience to Lee at Gettysburg, never having thought of it before,\nand never, in fact, having had a foundation for it. This, in a measure,\nserved their purpose, because the old soldiers and their sons in the\nSouth are always ready to resent anything said or done unfavorable to\nLee. Now, I am mortified to see that even the ladies have taken this\nmatter up, and the Daughters of the Confederacy at Savannah refused to\nlay a wreath of laurels on the tomb of the great hero. I was surprised\nthat Fitzhugh Lee should have charged Longstreet with disobedience,\nfor I don\u2019t believe that General Lee ever made such a charge himself.\nAfter the war I went to Lexington and studied law and saw Lee every\nday and every night. Our comrades and enemies were often discussed,\nbut I never heard him speak of Longstreet but in the most affectionate\nmanner. Colonel Venable was professor of mathematics when I moved back\nto Charlottesville eighteen years ago, and my relations with him up to\nhis death were close and intimate. I never heard him suggest the idea\nthat Longstreet disobeyed orders or failed to do his duty at Gettysburg\nor anywhere else. General Lee relieved General Ewell, one of his corps\ncommanders at Gettysburg, from duty with his army. He criticised A. P.\nHill severely for his failure and mismanagement at Bristow station, but\nno man ever heard him say one word against Longstreet.\n\u201cNow that Longstreet is laid away to rest, all old and true soldiers of\nthe Southern Confederacy will kneel around his tomb and pray that they\nmay stand at the great reveille with Lee, Jackson, and Longstreet.\u201d\n(_Macon, Georgia, Telegraph._)\n \u201cOn the historic page is blazoned his glory.\u201d\nFrom the lips of Lee no word of censure ever fell upon the military\nrenown of his great corps commander, the intrepid and immovable\nLongstreet. However men may differ as to that last fateful day at\nGettysburg, on the historic page there is blazoned the military glory\nof James Longstreet. No earthly power can blot it out. Longstreet\u2019s\ncorps is as inseparable from the glory of the veterans of Lee as the\nOld Guard from the army of Napoleon. And when a week ago with the last\nexpiring sigh of its aged commander the blood of his fearless heart\nbroke from the wound which laid him prone on the first day at the\nWilderness, at the moment when he had restored the shattered lines and\nsaved the Army of Northern Virginia, each ruddy drop, a protest against\nthe censure of his comrades, was like the blood of C\u00e6sar,--\n \u201cAs rushing out of doors to be resolved,\n If Brutus so unkindly knocked or no.\u201d\n JUDGE EMORY SPEER.\n(_McRae, Georgia, Enterprise._)\n \u201cOnly necessary to refer his critics to the official reports.\u201d\nIt is rather significant in the life of General Longstreet that\nunder the storm of anathemas which have been hurled upon him, both\nby private tongue and public pen, he always observed that silence\ncommensurate with his dignity of character and magnanimity of soul.\nIt is furthermore significant, that whenever an attack was made upon\nhis official conduct at any time, it was only necessary that he point\nto the official report of the matter as made of it at the time. In\nevery case where unfair criticism was indulged in, where there was no\nfoundation for such, and, of course, no official data to which recourse\ncould be had, the kind offices of some distinguished friend was\ninvariably volunteered.\nIt is also rather a singular fact, that although he took a prominent\npart in numberless engagements, among which could be mentioned some of\nthe most sanguinary of the \u201960\u2019s, he never suffered serious defeat,\nand almost invariably bore off the laurels. This statement applies to\nLongstreet more truthfully than to any other general of either side.\nIt was characteristic of him, and at the same time evincing his great\nmilitary skill and genius, that he very often manipulated his forces as\nemergencies suggested in the absence of orders from his superior. In\nno instance where this was done does it appear that he ever received a\nreprimand, but the approval, rather, of the commanding officer.\nAfter the war, his course seems to have met with some disapprobation on\nthe part of some of his admirers South. This is a matter which seems\nrather best decided by an appeal from the arena of individual judgment\nto the forum of justice and right.--OLD VETERAN.\n(_Chattanooga Times, Special._)\n _\u201cPunished for his Americanism.\u201d_\nHUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA, January 8.--General Samuel H. Moore, a brave\nex-Confederate soldier of this city, claims to know inside history\nconcerning the career of General Longstreet after the close of the\nCivil War, and in a communication written for the public he calls upon\nGeneral Joseph Wheeler and Colonel W. W. Garth to tell what they know\nin justice to the departed chieftain. General Moore writes:\n\u201cIt is due General Lee\u2019s old war-horse, who was familiarly known to the\nArmy of Northern Virginia as \u2018Old Pete\u2019 Longstreet, that a statement\nshould be made which will vindicate his actions soon after the\nsurrender and reinstate him in the hearts of those who always felt safe\nin battle when he was at their head, and who would have been proud to\nshed their last drop of blood to shield his fair name if they had only\nbeen cognizant of the facts which impelled him to pursue the course he\ndid--as he believed for the benefit of his Southern people.\n\u201cIn 1866, when reconstruction hung over the South like a sword of\nDamocles, five lieutenant-generals of the Confederate army held a\nmeeting in New Orleans, in General Hood\u2019s room, to discuss the\nsituation and publish to the South the easiest way to bear the yoke sad\nfate had placed upon their necks.\n\u201cAfter discussing all the pros and cons, they unanimously decided to\naccept the situation as it was, return to the Union like good and loyal\ncitizens, and be the recipients of the offices of trust which were\nbeing given to carpet-baggers because the government could not find in\nthe Southern States men willing to accept the offices that would have\ngladly been given them.\n\u201cIn this caucus of generals, Longstreet was selected to write and\npublish a letter. He did it. There was a howl of protest from the\nill-informed people. The men who advised Longstreet to do this did\nnot face this opposition, avoided this martyr, let him bear the odium\nalone. I ask General Joseph Wheeler to say what he personally knows\nof this. I call upon Colonel W. W. Garth to say what he knows and the\nsource of his information.\n\u201cLet the South beg pardon for the wrong it has done our greater\nsoldier, General James Longstreet.\u201d\n \u201cDid he do his duty as a soldier? Let Williamsburg, Sharpsburg,\n Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, and the Wilderness make\n reply.\u201d\nWe are here to-day to pay our tribute to James Longstreet, the soldier\nwho faithfully and ably served, the fighter who fiercely fought, the\nleader who bravely led, the sleepless, watchful, persistent, valorous\ncaptain of a glorious host, whom his great chief implicitly trusted in\nevery hour of supreme and dangerous service, and who on many a bloody\nfield hurled his bold and devoted followers like an avalanche on the\nserried ranks of his country\u2019s foes, and who, when valor could avail no\nmore, bore with him from the field of strife the passionate love of the\nlegions he had led, and the unstinted praise and tearful benediction of\nhis great commander, who knew him best, and had trusted him in many an\n\u201cimminent and deadly breach.\u201d\nEvery man capable by reason of environment, character, or ability of\nexerting an influence upon affairs in any important field of human\nendeavor, is called upon at some time to act under such circumstances\nthat his decision must infallibly indicate the character of the man and\nforever fix his place in the estimation of his contemporaries and of\nposterity.\nThat time came to James Longstreet in 1861. He was then an officer in\nthe army of the greatest and most powerful republic on all the earth,\nand had won high and deserved honor in battle beneath its flag.\nHigh commission in that army awaited him if he but adhered to that\nflag, and the future held in store for him exalted rank which his\nreputation and ability easily assured him.\nOn the other hand was a young nation, scarcely emerged from its\nchrysalis stage and without moral or physical support among the\nnations of the earth. His training and education as a soldier, and his\nknowledge of the power and resources of that great government in whose\nservice he had been so long enlisted, enabled him to appreciate and\nrealize the odds in its favor in the rapidly approaching struggle.\nThe conditions which confronted him required the exertion of all the\nvirtues of courage, honor, consistency, and fidelity to conviction.\nHe was called upon to illustrate the loftiest qualities of human\ncharacter, and immolate self on the shrine of duty, or give heed to the\nsiren voice of ambition, and, lured by the selfish hope of high reward,\nturn his sword against the land of his birth in the hour of her sorest\nneed.\nAs Daniel, Virginia\u2019s great orator, has so fitly said of Robert E. Lee:\n\u201cSince the Son of Man stood upon the Mount and saw \u2018all the kingdoms of\nthe earth and the glory thereof\u2019 stretched before him and turned away\nfrom them to the agony and bloody sweat of Gethsemane, and to the Cross\nof Calvary beyond, no follower of the meek and lowly Saviour can have\nundergone a more trying ordeal or met it in a higher spirit of heroic\nsacrifice.\u201d\nIn that hour of supreme test, trial, and temptation, James Longstreet\ndid not hesitate. He dallied not with dishonor. He was deaf to every\ncall save that of duty. Obedient to the conviction that his first,\nhighest, and holiest obligation was to the land of his birth, he\nresponded to her call, and for four long years \u201cfeasted glory till pity\ncried no more.\u201d His gleaming sword flashed in the forefront of the\nfighting, till when stricken and scarred with many a wound and with\nhonor unstained he bowed to the stern arbitrament of battle.\nWhen he made his choice and upon bended knee offered his sword as a\nloving and loyal son to his native South, he thereby avouched himself\nunto all the ages as one who in every hour of trial and in every sphere\nof duty would keep his \u201crobes and his integrity stainless unto heaven.\u201d\nHe then and there gave to the world perpetual and irrefutable proof\nthat his every act since that day, whether as soldier or civilian, was\nprompted by an exalted sense of duty, performed in obedience to the\nconvictions of an intelligent and deliberate judgment, and approved by\na clear conscience, and standing on that high vantage ground he courted\ntruth and defied malice.\nNo man who rises superior to temptation, and offers his life as\nan offering upon the altar of duty, and freely sheds his blood in\ntestimony to the sincerity of his convictions, is called upon to\nexplain his conduct \u201cin any sphere of life in which it may please God\nto place him.\u201d\nThe exercises of this occasion take color and purpose from that tragic\nera in which James Longstreet was so conspicuous and honorable a\nfigure; and his record as a soldier is absolutely beyond impeachment.\nDid he do his duty as a soldier brave and true? Did he bear himself as\nbecame a man in the hour of battle? Let history unroll her proud annals\nand say! Let Williamsburg, Sharpsburg, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, and the\nWilderness make reply.\nAsk those who met him and his dauntless legion on many a bloody field,\nand they will tell how often he swept down upon them like an avenging\nwhirlwind. Ask his \u201cboys,\u201d who for four years followed him with\nunquestioning devotion and with ever-increasing love and admiration,\nand they will with one accord and with voices tremulous with emotion\nanswer that he never lagged, failed, or faltered.\nHear the testimony of Robert E. Lee, his great commander, who, though\ndead, yet speaketh: \u201cGeneral Longstreet (at Gaines Mill) perceived that\nto render the diversion effectual the feint must be converted into an\nattack. He resolved with characteristic promptness to carry the heights\nby assault.\u201d After Chickamauga, he says, \u201cMy whole heart and soul have\nbeen with you and your brave corps in your late battle. Finish your\nwork, my dear General, and return to me. I want you badly, and you\ncannot get back too soon.\u201d\nLet Joseph E. Johnston bear witness to the world of his great\nsubordinate at Williamsburg: \u201cI was compelled to be a mere spectator,\nfor General Longstreet\u2019s clear head and brave heart left no apology for\ninterference. The skill, vigor, and decision of General Longstreet (at\nSeven Pines) was worthy of the highest praise.\u201d\nWe have yet further testimony, which in pathos and convincing power\nexcels all speech or written language. It is an historic truth that\nwhen the end had come at Appomattox, and those who had so long\nshared the hardships of the camp and the peril and the glory of the\nbattle-field were about to separate, General Longstreet and his staff\nproceeded to where General Lee and his staff had gathered for the last\ntime before their final parting, and General Lee grasped the hand and\nspoke a few kindly words to each member of the group until he reached\nGeneral Longstreet, when each threw his arms about the other, and\nas they thus stood clasped together both sobbed like children. When\nGeneral Lee had recovered his composure, turning to a member of the\nparty who is now in this presence, he said, \u201cCaptain, into your care I\ncommend my old war-horse.\u201d\nRobert E. Lee, standing on the fateful and historic field of\nAppomattox, amid the gathering gloom of that awful hour of defeat and\ndisaster, with his arms about James Longstreet, while his majestic\nframe shook with uncontrollable grief, was a scene worthy to have been\nlimned by genius on immortal canvas.\nThe tears of Robert E. Lee falling upon the symbol and insignia of\nLongstreet\u2019s rank converted it then and there into a badge of honor,\ngrander than the guerdon of a king.\nIt is known to countless thousands that only a few years before he\npassed away Jefferson Davis moved out from the midst of a mighty\nthrong, which was acclaiming him with every manifestation of earthly\nhonor, to greet with open arms General Longstreet. Turning aside for a\ntime from the thousands who pressed about him in a very frenzy of love\nand enthusiasm, he advanced and folded the great soldier to his bosom,\nthus testifying before God and a multitude of witnesses to his faith in\nthe fidelity to conviction and to duty of the old hero.\nDavis! Lee! Johnston! Immortal triumvirate of heroes! Glorious sons\nof a glorious land! Fortunate indeed is that man who by such as they\nis avouched unto posterity. When Lee and Davis laid their hands in\nblessing and benediction upon James Longstreet, he was then and there\ngiven passport unto immortality.\nThe brevity of the time properly allotted me wherein to perform my\npart in the exercises of this occasion makes impossible any discussion\nor analysis of the campaigns of General Longstreet, even if such\ndiscussion were necessary, which it is not. His fame is securely fixed,\nand the faithful historian of the future will assign him to his due\nand fitting place in the annals of his age. The history of that great\nstruggle, in which he was so majestic and forceful a figure, which does\nnot bear tribute to his fidelity, skill, and valor will be manifestly\nand unjustly incomplete; and if any page thereof be not lighted with\nthe lines of glory reflected by his heroic deeds, it will be because\nthe truth has not been thereon written.\nIn the galaxy of the glorious and the great, James Longstreet will\nstand through all the ages enshrined with his great companions in arms\nin the pantheon of the immortals.\nOver such a life as his, bravely, nobly lived on lofty levels, death\nhas no dominion. More than fourscore years were upon him, and his\nkingly form was somewhat bowed, but the dauntless and indomitable\nspirit which had never quailed before danger, however imminent or dire,\nshrank not before the coming of that conqueror to whom the lofty and\nthe lowly alike must yield, but, soothed and sustained by the holy\nfaith of the mother church, he passed to his eternal rest--\n \u201cWhile Christ, his Lord, wide open held the door.\u201d\nTo those who loved and honored him the thought is comforting that after\nall the battles and trials and hardships of his arduous and eventful\nlife he has found that rest reserved for the faithful in the realm of\neternal reunion.\nWe can believe that when, clothed with the added dignity and majesty\nof immortality, he drew near to that eternal bivouac where are pitched\nthe tents of the comrades who preceded him to rest eternal, two,\nconspicuous for kingly grace, even in that immortal throng, advanced\nto meet him and clasp him once again to their bosoms, and that as he\nstood in their arms enfolded there fell upon his ears the voice of the\nMaster saying,--\n\u201cWell done, thou good and faithful servant; enter into the joy of thy\nLord.\u201d--JUDGE NORMAN G. KITTRELL, Houston, Texas.\n \u201cNo soldier of Longstreet\u2019s corps ever doubted his loyalty.\u201d\nNo soldier of Longstreet\u2019s corps during the war, whether he was one\nof the boys in the trenches, or wore the stars upon his collar, ever\ndoubted either the courage, or the capacity, or the loyalty of James\nLongstreet. No man ever heard an insinuation of that kind. No, he\nwas entitled to the splendid name the immortal Lee gave him of \u201cold\nwar-horse,\u201d and he held in the very highest degree the implicit\nconfidence of the men he commanded and who loved him.\nI love to think of Lee and Jackson and Longstreet and Hill as the \u201cBig\nFour\u201d of the Army of Northern Virginia.\nMany years have passed since that bloody conflict; we are now one\npeople, with one common flag and one country and one destiny. But\nwe ought not to forget, how can we forget! the glorious names which\nbecame as familiar as household words to us during that trying time.\nAmong all the other great names, that of James Longstreet, the ranking\nlieutenant-general of the Confederate army, who earned that title in\nthe field and worthily wore it to the end, must shine forever in that\nnoble galaxy.--CAPTAIN JOHN H. LEATHEN, _Second Regiment Virginia\nInfantry, Stonewall Brigade_.\n(_Gainesville, Georgia, Eagle.)_\n \u201cAlways a plumed knight without reproach.\u201d\nNothing but sickness and a cold drive of twenty-five miles could have\nprevented me from attending the funeral obsequies of my old friend and\ngreat military chieftain and placing my humble tribute of flowers upon\nhis grave.\nAnd now, in the quiet of a sick-chamber, I undertake to weave a little\ngarland to his memory. I know that nothing I may write will add any\nlustre or greatness to a name that has become immortal in the annals\nof a people who more than a third of a century ago, and for four long\nyears, performed deeds of heroic valor that would have shed glory upon\nthe military renown of any country or people that have ever lived or\nhad a place in history.\nI have never permitted any criticism or detraction that has been\nwritten or uttered against General Longstreet, no matter by whom or\nfor what purpose the same may have been written or uttered, to have\na feather\u2019s weight in varying my love and veneration for this almost\nincomparable commander.\nI watched him in his course from Bull Run to Appomattox, and to me he\nwas always a plumed knight, without reproach. I have seen him on the\nfield of battle, and I have seen him at his quiet tent. The very first\norder I heard given to \u201cfire,\u201d was delivered by Longstreet at Bull Run\non the 18th day of July, 1861. It was the prelude to the great victory\non the bloody field of Manassas, three days after.\nBull Run may have been the beginning of battles in Northern\nVirginia--introductory to greater performances, but it was nevertheless\na finished battle. A flag of truce came in and asked for a suspension\nof hostilities, and that the Federal dead be buried. The Union forces\nhad fallen back to Centreville, three miles. Detachments from Bonham\u2019s\nSouth Carolinians and Early\u2019s Louisianians were called for to bury\nthe dead. Longstreet\u2019s brigade had done the principal fighting, and\nLongstreet\u2019s brigade rested.\nThe dead were buried by those who had been fighting them only a few\nhours before. The day\u2019s battle was over, and the sun went down with the\nvictors in possession of the field and its dead.\nThe battle of Bull Run (18th of July, 1861) will always remain in my\nmemory a separate picture, and, like a diamond, however small it may\nbe when compared with greater jewels, will retain its own halo and its\nown setting of gems. Longstreet was the hero of that historic field.\nBeauregard was higher in command, but Longstreet began and ended the\nfight.\nI hope to be pardoned for this reference to an almost forgotten\nengagement, wherein nearly four thousand South Carolinians and an\nalmost equal number of Virginians and Louisianians received their\n\u201cfirst baptism of fire.\u201d\nI will relate an incident that occurred after the war, to illustrate\nthe inward character of General Longstreet, and how this great man\ndesired to be on friendly terms with every one, especially old friends\nwhom the accidents of war had estranged. It had come to my knowledge\nthat in some way or other during the war General Longstreet and\nGeneral Lafayette McLaws, lifelong friends and fellow-officers in the\nold United States army, had become separated in their friendships.\nSeventeen years and more had passed, and yet no healing balm had\nbeen poured upon these two proud hearts. General Longstreet was a\npatron of the N. G. A. College. He had two sons, Lee and James, at\nthis military institution. General McLaws was contemplating sending a\nson to the school. Knowing that there was estrangement between these\ngreat military heroes, I induced Governor A. H. Colquitt to place\nthese two men on the Board of Visitors to the College in the hope that\nthey might meet each other in the quietude of my mountain home and\nbecome reconciled. They both came, and I arranged that they might be\nmy guests, with others, and in some way I hoped to bring them close\ntogether. Their meeting was quite formal, and I thought they were very\ncold to each other. But after the supper was over, and getting my\nother guests to seats on the piazza, where they might smoke and talk,\nI gently asked the two to walk into the parlor with me, and seated\nthem within easy distance of each other. I then began the conversation\nby alluding to some affair of the war with which they were familiar,\nfor both of them had commanded Kershaw\u2019s brigade, to which I belonged.\nIt was not long before the clouds began to roll away, as these old\nwarriors passed from one scene to another, and their voices became\nfriendlier. I then thought I could be excused and passed from the room,\nand kept others from disturbing them, and when they came out together,\nshook hands, and bade each other \u201cgood-night,\u201d I thought then that\nthey were friends again. That night I called at General Longstreet\u2019s\nroom and knocked, but heard no response. I pushed the door gently and\npeered in, and discovered that the General was kneeling and praying.\nI went away as softly as I could, and the next day General Longstreet\nthanked me for the quiet way in which I had brought them together.\n\u201cFor,\u201d said he, \u201cwe are friends again.\u201d If I ever knew, I have long\nsince forgotten the cause of the estrangement. It might have occurred\nat Gettysburg.\nIt was my pleasure to have witnessed the meeting between General\nLongstreet and President Davis, so often alluded to as occurring at\nthe unveiling of the Ben Hill statue in Atlanta. I had been given\nby Colonel Lowndes Calhoun on that occasion the command of several\nhundred one-armed and one-legged Confederate veterans. When these\ntwo great heroes met and embraced, my command \u201cwent wild,\u201d and they\nnever got into line any more. Longstreet was almost a giant in stature\nand always attracted attention and produced enthusiasm. Whatever his\npolitical views were after the war was over, he honestly and fearlessly\nentertained them, but he never offensively presented them to any one,\nand it remains yet to be seen whether he was not right in many matters\nconcerning which he was perhaps too harshly judged by some people.\nIn 1896 General Longstreet\u2019s name was on the McKinley electoral ticket.\nHe came to Dahlonega to address the people on the political issues of\nthe day. Although not a member of his political party, I had the honor\nof introducing him to the people of my native county in the following\nwords, as published in the _Eagle_, October 29, 1896:\n\u201cFELLOW-COUNTRYMEN AND LADIES,--A few of the survivors of that gallant\nband who rushed to arms in defence of the Sunny South more than a third\nof a century ago, without regard to past or present affiliation with\npolitical parties, have with only a few moments\u2019 notice met to pay an\nhumble tribute to one who, with dauntless and conspicuous bravery,\nled the Southern cohorts through many bloody battle-fields. Like the\nplumed knight, Henry of Navarre, his sword always flashed fiercest\nwhere the fighting was the hottest. His was the first voice of command\nto \u2018fire\u2019 when the Army of Northern Virginia was receiving its \u2018baptism\nof fire\u2019 at Bull Run on the 18th of July, 1861. And from the following\nSunday, the memorable battle of Manassas, to Appomattox our comrades\nfollowed him. From Gettysburg to Chickamauga with unfaltering step\nthey went wherever he led them, and from Chickamauga to the Wilderness\nthey unswervingly obeyed his commands. His fame has become the common\nheritage of us all. No longer the sole cynosure of Southern hearts and\neyes, he is the beloved citizen of a restored country and a reunited\nUnion. His patriotism, his history, his name, are the common property\nof all the people, both North and South. He is with us to-day for only\na few hours. Possibly our eyes may never look into his again, nor our\nhands clasp his on earth, nor ever hear that voice once so potent to\nthousands of his countrymen. That voice is feeble, but he raises it\nnow only for the purpose of guiding his friends into what he deems to\nbe the paths of peace and prosperity. Listen to him with patience. I\nnow have the honor of introducing to you, my fellow-countrymen, that\ndistinguished soldier and statesman, General James Longstreet.\u201d--W. P.\nPRICE.\n(_Washington, D. C., Star._)\n \u201cWould have won battle. Never disloyal to his commander.\u201d\nMajor J. H. Stine, historian of the Army of the Potomac, has this to\nsay of General Longstreet:\n\u201cIt would be unjust in me to keep silent after enjoying General\nLongstreet\u2019s confidence, especially in regard to that great battle in\nwhich the blue and the gray met at Gettysburg. A quarter of a century\nafter that great battle I had Longstreet invited here as the guest\nof the First Corps of the Army of the Potomac. He came to Washington\nsome two days in advance, and was a member of my household during that\ntime. We occupied a room together at Gettysburg and went over the\nwhole field, when he gave me a full description of the Confederates\u2019\nmovements.\n\u201cHe was never disloyal to Lee, but he feared the Pickett charge would\nnot be as successful as MacDonald\u2019s at Wagram. Longstreet attempted to\npersuade Lee not to order it, but rather a retreat at night and take up\na position on the south bank of Pipe Creek, where Meade wanted to fight\nthe battle.\n\u201cHe says, in his history: \u2018I was following the Third Corps as fast as\npossible, and as soon as I got possession of the road went rapidly\nforward to join General Lee. I found him on the summit of Seminary\nRidge, watching the enemy concentrate on the opposite hill. He pointed\nout their position to me. I took my glasses and made as careful a\nsurvey as I could from that point. After five or ten minutes I turned\nto General Lee and said,--\n\u201c\u2018\u201cIf we could have chosen a point to meet our plans of operation, I do\nnot think we could have found a better one than that upon which they\nare now concentrating. All we have to do is to throw our army around\nby their left, and we shall interpose between the Federal army and\nWashington.\u201d\u2019\n\u201c\u2018\u201cNo,\u201d said General Lee, \u201cthe enemy is there, and I am going to attack\nhim there.\u201d\u2019\n\u201cLee was a great military student. He had before him Napoleon\u2019s great\nvictory at Wagram, when he ordered MacDonald, with sixteen thousand\nmen, to charge the enemy\u2019s centre. But few of that number were alive\nwhen success crowned that daring military movement. If Pickett\u2019s charge\nhad been successful, it would have crowned the Southern Confederacy as\none of the nations of the world, for it would not only have had foreign\nrecognition, but valuable assistance. Upon every field except one Lee\nhad been successful, and that was a drawn battle.\n\u201cHe had great confidence in himself, and thought that it was impossible\nto defeat him with his Southern legions under his command. Longstreet\ndiffered from him on that charge, and I am truly glad, for the sake of\nmy country, that Lee did not listen to him. They are both gone forever,\nbut it seems strange to me that any military mind cannot recognize the\nforesight of Longstreet at Gettysburg.\u201d\n(_Lost Cause._)\n \u201cPendleton\u2019s charge a discharge of hot air.\u201d\nThe recent death of the gallant old war-horse of the Army of Northern\nVirginia, General James Longstreet, has again revived some of the\nslanderous and unfounded reports of his lack of duty, unfaithfulness,\nand disobedience of orders at the battle of Gettysburg. I want to offer\nsome thoughts in regard to this matter, and the first thing I want to\nsay is that General Longstreet retained the love and confidence of\nthe soldiers of Lee\u2019s army up to the surrender at Appomattox, on the\n9th of April, 1865. His soldiers never for one moment questioned his\nloyalty, his courage, or his patriotism. If these late reports of his\ndefault of duty at Gettysburg be true, is it not passing strange that\nhe retained the love and confidence of General Lee until the close\nof the war? If Longstreet had disobeyed Lee\u2019s orders at Gettysburg,\nthereby causing the battle to fail of success to Southern arms, does\nany one pretend to believe that General Lee would have continued to\nplace faith and confidence in him (his first lieutenant) until the\nclose of the war? No man who has a proper conception of the character\nof Robert E. Lee as a soldier and as a great military commander will\nbelieve it. Another remarkable circumstance in connection with these\ngrave charges against General Longstreet is, that the men composing the\nArmy of Northern Virginia never heard a word of them until long after\nthe death of General Lee, who could and would have refuted or confirmed\nthem. The fame and character of General Lee as a great military\nchieftain does not need that the fame and reputation of another great\nand gallant soldier of the Confederate army shall be besmirched.\nAnother remarkable fact is, these charges came from men that were only\nbrigadier-generals at the battle of Gettysburg. Brigadier-General\nPendleton, it seems, first made this charge against General Longstreet\nin a public speech at Lexington, Virginia, in 1873, in which he said\nthat General Lee told him that he had ordered Longstreet to attack at\nsunrise on the 2d of July. Longstreet emphatically denied that General\nLee ever gave him any such orders, and Colonel W. H. Taylor, Colonel\nC. S. Venable, Colonel Charles Marshall, and General A. L. Long, all\nof General Lee\u2019s staff, testified, after this charge was made by\nPendleton, that they never heard of any such orders. Colonel Venable,\nreplying to General Longstreet, said, \u201cI did not know of any order for\nan attack on the enemy at sunrise on the 2d of July, nor can I believe\nany such order was issued by General Lee. About sunrise on the 2d I\nwas sent by General Lee to General Ewell to ask him what he thought of\nthe advantages of an attack on the enemy from his position. I do not\nthink that the errand on which I was sent by the commanding General is\nconsistent with the idea of an attack at sunrise by any portion of the\narmy.\u201d\nIt seems clearly by the testimony of these eminent officers and\nsoldiers who were at that time members of General Lee\u2019s official\nfamily and were active participants in that supreme struggle of\nGettysburg, that this charge by General Pendleton was only a discharge\nof hot air. I think the general view taken by the best authority\nupon the history of the fighting at Gettysburg on July the 2d, which\nwas the second day of these battles, that up to 11 A.M. General Lee\nwas undecided as to whether he would attack on the right or left. No\nmatter in what eloquent words we may clothe our admiration for him as a\nsoldier, the soldiers of the Army of Northern Virginia would regard all\nthese eloquent words of praise as inadequate to express the admiration\nwe feel for the brave deeds in war, and the unselfish and gallant\nservice rendered the Confederate army by this grand old hero, General\nJames Longstreet. General Lee told General Pickett and the Army of\nNorthern Virginia that the lack of their success at Gettysburg was his\nfault. This man of glorious and immortal fame, as the greatest military\nleader of modern times, realized that he himself had overrated the\nability of his army, and underrated the army of his enemy, who had the\nadvantage of numbers and of far better position. General Lee realized\nthen, as the world has since, that he made a mistake in attacking\nthe Union army at Gettysburg after General Meade had secured and to\nsome extent had fortified an almost impregnable position. Grant made\nthe same mistake when Lee caught him on the fly in the Wilderness,\nat Spottsylvania, and at Cold Harbor, with this difference, Grant\nwas depending upon his superior numbers and equipment, while Lee was\ndepending upon the morale and fighting qualities of his army. And while\nthe morale and fighting qualities of Lee\u2019s army were never equalled\nin the history of modern warfare, even they could not accomplish the\nimpossible. And the traducers of General Longstreet\u2019s fidelity are\nstrangely oblivious of the fact that General Longstreet at the battle\nof the Wilderness made a forced march that taxed his soldiers to their\nutmost capacity to get there in time, and when he arrived on the field\nhe found the Southern line was being driven back by superior numbers,\nand throwing his troops into line and with his accustomed impetuosity\ndrove the Federal line rapidly back and saved the day and gave the\nSouthern army the victory at the Wilderness. In this fight he was\nseverely wounded, and the gallant Jenkins of South Carolina at the\nsame time was killed. Pendleton said that General Lee died believing\nthat but for the disobedience of Longstreet at Gettysburg that battle\nwould have been a victory for the Southern army. How did he know that\nLee died with that belief? Did General Lee ever tell any one so? If so,\nwhom? It is one thing to make an assertion, but quite a different thing\nto prove it. I have seen men in my day look pretty cheap in court when\ncalled on to prove some things they had said on the streets.\nIn conclusion, I want to say that while we all regretted and were\ngrieved when General Longstreet joined the Republican party, that fact\nought not to have created prejudice sufficient to have caused us to\nignore, and belittle, and cast any reproach upon his character, or\nunjust reflection upon his long and brilliant career as a soldier. He\nwas a soldier by profession, and, according to his own testimony, he\nnever cast a ballot in civil life prior to the Confederate war. He and\nGeneral Grant were warm personal friends. They were school-mates at\nWest Point, comrades in the Mexican and some Indian wars. General Grant\nclasped his hand and called him Jim at the surrender at Appomattox.\nGrant at Appomattox was a Democrat and a slave-holder, and he went over\nto the Republican party and was elected President of the United States.\nWhat influence General Grant brought to bear upon General Longstreet\nmay have been very great, for all the outside world knows. Be that as\nit may, we do know that up to the close of the war he had taken no\nactive part in politics in any party. We also have every reason to\nbelieve that if General Longstreet had espoused the Democratic party,\nand become a strong partisan in that party, we never would have heard a\nword of this imaginary default at Gettysburg.\nThe soldiers of Longstreet\u2019s corps do not believe he disobeyed General\nLee\u2019s orders at Gettysburg, or at any other time. We don\u2019t believe it\nnow; we never did believe it, and we never will believe it.--W. H.\nEDWARDS.\nRESOLUTIONS BY CAMPS AND CHAPTERS\n(_Sterling Price Camp._)\n \u201cHis chivalry is as lasting as the hills of the Old Dominion.\u201d\nTribute to the memory of General James Longstreet, adopted by Sterling\nPrice Camp, No. 31, Dallas, Texas.\nComrade A. W. Nowlin, in submitting the report of the committee, said\nin part:\n \u201cComrades, we have assembled here as a camp to pay tribute to\n the memory of the late Lieutenant-General Longstreet. One of the\n great soldiers of the age has fallen. He has answered the last\n roll-call. Taps has been sounded \u2018Lights out.\u2019 The \u2018War-Horse of\n the Confederacy\u2019 is dead. This great, brave, and fearless officer\n is gone. The hard fighter of the Army of Northern Virginia has\n surrendered to the arch-enemy death. General Longstreet possessed\n the esteem and confidence of his troops in a marked degree.\n They were devoted to him, and when and where he led they were\n invincible.\n \u201cHis name and his deeds of daring and chivalry are coupled and\n interwoven with that of the Army of Northern Virginia, and\n are as lasting as the hills of the \u2018Old Dominion.\u2019 The heroic\n battle-fields of Virginia will ever attest and pay tribute to\n the military genius of this great leader. History will hand down\n to posterity the name of James Longstreet as one of the great\n generals of the nineteenth century.\u201d\nThe following was adopted as Camp Sterling Price\u2019s tribute to\nLieutenant-General James Longstreet:\nWHEREAS, Lieutenant-General James Longstreet recently passed away at\nhis home in Gainesville, Georgia, and was buried, amid the tears and\nregrets of thousands of those who loved him and had assembled from\nevery part of this country to pay this last honor to him; be it\n_Resolved_, That the comrades of Camp Sterling Price have heard with\nprofound sorrow of the death of this great Southern soldier and comrade.\n_Resolved_, That, educated in the profession of arms, he gave many\nyears of his young manhood to the service of his country in the war\nwith Mexico and in conflicts and campaigns with the savages of the\nWest, and everywhere distinguished himself for courage and ability so\nas to win promotion and the gratitude and applause of his countrymen.\n_Resolved_, That when wrongs and passion disrupted the nation, and his\nnative State withdrew from the Union and united with the Confederate\nStates of America, he felt that his allegiance no longer belonged\nto the other States of the Union, but to the one of which he was a\ncitizen, and he resigned his office in the United States army and\noffered his services to the government of the Confederacy. He received\nthe rank of brigadier-general, and, being always in the front when\ncampaigns were most important and the enemy the most powerful and\nbattles were furious, he was promoted for distinguished bravery,\nconduct, and generalship to be major-general, lieutenant-general, and\nsecond in command of the great Army of Northern Virginia, under the\ngreat commander Lee.\nAs brigadier-general at Manassas he held the left wing of the enemy,\nby his boldness, so that it could not give assistance to the defeated\nright wing. As major-general he covered General Johnston\u2019s retreat\nin the Peninsula before the advance of McClellan, and fought the\nvictorious battle of Williamsburg. As major-general he commanded the\nright wing in the bloody battle of Seven Pines, and with D. H. Hill\ndrove the enemy from the field. In the Seven Days\u2019 battle around\nRichmond no general gained greater renown, and soon thereafter, when\nCongress directed the President to appoint seven corps commanders with\nthe rank of lieutenant-general, Major-General Longstreet was made the\nranking lieutenant-general and second in command of the army under Lee,\nwhich position he held through the great battles and campaigns of that\narmy for three years, until with Lee and the remnant of his heroes he\nsurrendered at Appomattox.\nAt the second battle of Manassas he commanded the right wing of the\narmy, and with Jackson on the left drove Pope into the fortification of\nWashington. At South Mountain he held McClellan with a death grip until\nJackson could storm Harper\u2019s Ferry, and commanded the right wing at\nSharpsburg and fought more than double his number under McClellan from\nearly dawn until darkness spread her sombre shadows over the bloodiest\nscene in American history. It was here that Lee knighted him as his\n\u201cWar-Horse\u201d as the last guns were sending their hoarse echoes among the\nmountains. Next, at Fredericksburg he commanded the left wing, and at\nnightfall on the 13th of December, 1862, eight thousand of the enemy\nwere stretched out dead or bleeding in front of his corps.\nAt Gettysburg, riding by the side of Lee, without expecting nor\ndesiring at that time to join battle with the enemy, they heard the\nthunder of Hill\u2019s and Ewell\u2019s guns, and hastened to their assistance.\nThe first day\u2019s battle was fought and won before Lee or Longstreet\ncould take an active part. On the second day Longstreet commanded the\nright wing and fought one of the bloodiest battles of the war, driving\nalmost the entire army of Meade before him, and leaving more than ten\nthousand of the enemy slain or wounded on the field. The third day of\nthis great battle he exhibited the loftiest courage.\nNext, he and his corps were sent from Virginia to Georgia and joined\nBragg in the terrible battle of Chickamauga, where he commanded the\nleft wing and routed the right wing of Rosecrans\u2019s army. When Grant and\nMeade, with their forty thousand veteran soldiers, were advancing upon\nLee in the Wilderness of Virginia, the great commander of the Army of\nNorthern Virginia called Longstreet with his men back from Tennessee,\nand with panting breath and quick step and double ranks he headed the\nTexas brigade and rushed upon the cheering and triumphant enemy on the\nsecond day in the Wilderness, and drove them over their works amid the\nblazing woods, and a great victory was in the grasp of Lee, when a\nbullet from our own men, by mistake, crashed through his body and he\nwas carried from the field desperately wounded. The guiding hand of\nthe great general and fighter was gone, and victory fled as the fatal\nopportunity was lost.\nIn the long siege and through the many battles around Richmond and\nPetersburg, lasting nearly twelve months, Longstreet commanded the\nleft wing on the north side of the James, and stood like an immovable\nmountain between the enemy and the Confederate capital.\nWhen the sad day of Five Forks came, and Lee\u2019s lines were broken about\nPetersburg, Longstreet was called from Richmond with his men to the\nassistance of his great commander, and covered the retreat and gave\nblow for blow to the charging enemy, and when the sun rose on the\nday of the 9th of April, and Grant was about to offer terms for the\nsurrender of the Southern army, Longstreet told General Lee that if\nthe terms were not honorable they would fight again and die fighting.\nThus he fought and stood by his chief to the bitter end, retaining the\nconfidence of his commander and his President to the last; and if they\nwho knew him best and trusted him most, and were with him day and night\nand knew his thoughts and opinions, and witnessed his deeds and actions\nthroughout all the vicissitudes and trials of those days that measured\nthe souls of men,--if they believed in him, trusted him, leaned on him,\nand kept him second to Lee, who shall have the temerity to criticise,\nto condemn, and to throw stones at this imperial soldier?\nThose of us who have heard the thunder of his guns; those of us who\nhave seen him leading his warriors in battle; those of us who have seen\nhim stand like a Gibraltar against the charging thousands of a fierce\nfoe, will honor him as a great soldier who has added to the fame of\nSouthern manhood, and who is worthy to stand through the ages with\nLee and Johnston and Jackson and Stewart, and all the brave men who\nlaid their bare breasts to the storm of war in the name of freedom and\nindependence. We honor ourselves by honoring such a man.\n_Resolved_, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this\nCamp and a copy be sent to Mrs. James Longstreet by the adjutant.\n MILTON PARK.\n \u201cA Solomon in council, a Samson on the field.\u201d\nThe following resolution in memory of Lieutenant-General James\nLongstreet, introduced by Captain Wm. Dunbar, was adopted by Camp 435,\nU. C. V., Augusta, Georgia, by a unanimous and rising vote:\n_Resolved_, That we deplore the death of Lieutenant-General James\nLongstreet. We recall how, in the opening of the campaign of 1862,\nhis stubborn gallantry saved the Army of Northern Virginia for its\nlong career of glory; how, later in the same campaign, his superb\nstrategy rescued Stonewall Jackson from the swarming thousands about\nto overwhelm him; how, in 1863, he flew to the aid of the heroic Army\nof Tennessee, and with it won the resplendent victory of Chickamauga.\nIn short, we know him by the proud title of the War-Horse of the\nConfederacy, a title worthily bestowed by General Robert E. Lee\nhimself. He was a grand soldier, a Solomon in council, and a Samson in\nthe field.\n_Resolved_, That these resolutions be inscribed on a special page of\nour minutes, and that a copy thereof be transmitted by our adjutant to\nthe family of the valiant dead.\n(_Longstreet Chapter._)\n \u201cHis fame is imperishable.\u201d\nVerily, though dead, yet in history he will continue to live; be it\ntherefore\n_Resolved_, That while we, the Daughters of the Confederacy, deplore\nthe loss of our beloved Confederate General James Longstreet, who\nwas the first ranking general of the Confederate army, passes one of\nthe most gallant spirits of the nineteenth century. In the war drama\nof his life he played a most important part. At the beginning of the\nscene of the Civil War he took up the Southland\u2019s cause and began as\nbrigadier-general a career of courageous fighting which won for him the\nadmiration of the world. He was a comrade of Jackson and a companion\nof Lee. In personal appearance General Longstreet was well adapted\nto play this important part. So distinguished in appearance, he was\nindeed a veritable \u201cwar-horse.\u201d His career in the Confederate army was\na magnificent display of this loyal adherence to his views of truth and\nright. His fame as a soldier is imperishably inscribed on the scroll of\nhistory.\nWorn by recurring paroxysms of exquisite pain, the great warrior was\nweary as the evening shadows fell, and patiently asked his devoted wife\nto rearrange his couch. \u201cI shall rest better on the other side,\u201d he\nsaid, gently. Then the spirit took its flight.\n Let us cherish in our hearts the golden story,\n How the chieftain bravely lived and calmly died--\n Living for his Southland\u2019s never fading glory--\n \u201cResting better now upon the other side.\u201d\nPerish the hand and strike down the pen that would rob him of a\npeople\u2019s gratitude to a brave and loyal son.\n_Resolved_, His death caused universal sorrow among those who honor the\nchivalry, gallantry, and bravery which lent to the Confederate cause\nthe lustre that can never dim, and left a laurelled history that will\nnever die.\n\u201cFor he who best knows how to endure shall possess the greater peace.\u201d\n_Resolved_, That we extend our heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved\nfamily in this hour of unspeakable sorrow, and pray that the hand\nof our Heavenly Father may be laid in gracious healing upon their\nbroken hearts. That the Holy One may abide with them in comforting\ninfluence, and that the sunshine of His wonderful presence may brighten\nthe present sad separation by the sure promise of reunion with their\nbeloved in the land where suffering and death are unknown.\n_Resolved_, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the city\npapers, and to the bereaved family, and that they be inscribed in our\nminutes.\n MRS. ERNEST HAM.\n(_John A. Green Camp._)\n \u201cThe battle-fields of Virginia will ever pay tribute to\n Longstreet\u2019s genius.\u201d\n HEAD-QUARTERS COLONEL JOHN A. GREEN CAMP,\nWe have assembled here to pay tribute to the memory of the \u201cWar-Horse\u201d\nof the Army of Northern Virginia, General James Longstreet, who died\nrecently at his home in or near Gainesville, Georgia, at the ripe\nold age of eighty-three years. General Longstreet earned his first\nlaurels at the first battle of Manassas, and fought his way up to\nlieutenant-general. Being the ranking lieutenant-general in Lee\u2019s\ngrand army, he served with conspicuous gallantry in nearly all the\nbattles in which that army was engaged,--Manassas, Williamsburg,\nSeven Pines, under Johnston, the Seven Days\u2019 battles around Richmond,\nCedar Mountain, Second Manassas, Sharpsburg (it was here that General\nLee knighted him as his \u201cWar-Horse\u201d), Fredericksburg, Gettysburg,\nChickamauga, the Wilderness, around Richmond and Petersburg, and in\nalmost all the great battles in which Lee\u2019s army was engaged. However\nwe may have differed with him in the political path which he chose,\nwhen the army which he led with such conspicuous ability laid down\ntheir arms and returned to peaceful pursuits, we recognize in him a\ngreat general, and the battle-fields of Virginia will ever attest and\npay tribute to his military genius. History will hand down his name to\nposterity as one of the great generals of the South, one who was true\nand faithful to the Star-Spangled Banner under which he fought, and in\nwhom our great commander, General R. E. Lee, placed his confidence and\ntrust. General Longstreet possessed the esteem and confidence of his\ntroops in a marked degree in camp and field, and in advance or retreat\nhis deeds of daring are coupled with that of the army of General Lee,\nand are as lasting as the hills of Virginia. We extend our sympathy to\nthe family of this grand old general who has passed over the River.\n W. C. BALLARD,\n _Commander_.\n(_James Longstreet Camp._)\n \u201cA patriot who commanded the admiration of the age in which he\n lived. One of the world\u2019s great generals.\u201d\nTo the memory of General Longstreet, passed by Camp James Longstreet,\nU. C. V., at their regular meeting in Ennis, Texas, January 17, 1904:\nWHEREAS, The Commander-in-Chief has been pleased to call the late\nLieutenant-General James Longstreet across the river, to rest in the\nshade on the other shore with his former commanding general, R. E. Lee,\nand his associates, Hood, Jackson, and others, who had preceded him; and\nWHEREAS, In the removal of this great soldier from the walks of life\nto his future reward the military world has lost one of the most\ndistinguished military characters known to the history of civil\nwarfare; America has lost a loyal patriot, whose inflexible devotion\nto duty, as he saw it from a view-point of patriotic loyalty to his\ncountry, commanded the admiration of the age in which he lived; the\nSouth has lost a son, whose distinguished services as a gallant soldier\nand whose superior ability as a general in the Army of Northern\nVirginia easily classed him with the greatest of the world\u2019s great\ngenerals, one whose brilliant record sheds an honorable lustre on\nthe Southern soldier of which the American people feel justly proud;\ntherefore be it\n_Resolved_, That while we deplore with sadness the death of General\nLongstreet, who enjoyed the full confidence of his commanding general\nand of the officers and men of his command as a gallant and prudent\nofficer, we cherish his record as a general in the Army of Virginia\nas a spotless sheen of soldierly merit and worth, faultless in every\nrespect.\n_Resolved_, That a page in the record-book of Camp James Longstreet be\nset apart, and that these resolutions in memory of our departed general\nbe recorded thereon.\n Fraternally,\n(_Hattiesburg Camp._)\n \u201cHe was the chosen leader and central figure in every great\n conflict from the first battle of Manassas to the fateful day at\n Appomattox.\u201d\nLongstreet was the chosen leader and central figure in every great\nconflict from the first battle of Manassas to the fateful day at\nAppomattox.\nSparta never had a worthier son than the South had in General\nLongstreet. From the firing of the first gun his ardor never ceased,\nhis courage never failed. Often in the midst of the greatest battle\ndid he stand with his men when they fell around him like forests in a\nstorm. His presence was inspiring, and his word talismanic. No soldier\nwas ever more loved or confided in than he. Who shall say that his\nname shall not emblazon the brightest page of our history? Who will\ndeny him that great praise, so justly his own by reason of his great\nservices and terrible suffering? History will be incomplete without\naccording him her brightest page; and as long as we live to recount\ndeeds of valor and heroism on the battle-field, will live the names of\nLee, Longstreet, and \u201cStonewall\u201d Jackson. Who that was at Gettysburg,\nSpottsylvania, and the Wilderness, when the earth rocked with the tramp\nof armed men and the roar of battle resounded almost to heaven, would\ndeny him this mead of praise?\nIn all these was General Longstreet a prime warrior, a conspicuous\nactor. He rarely, if ever, was defeated. He planned his marches,\nbattles, and retreats with a strategy little less than transcendent;\nand when he made a stand he placed his back to the rock and bid\ndefiance to his enemies.\nHe was to Lee what Ney was to Napoleon, a guide, a friend, and a\nconfidant.\nI cannot pass this occasion without recalling an incident at the\nWilderness. On the 5th day of May, 1864, General Grant had devastated\nthe entire country from the Rapidan River to Fredericksburg. His\nsoldiers were as numerous as the Assyrian hosts. Hancock\u2019s corps\nhad advanced to the west side of the plank road that ran through\nthat dismal swamp, and had driven both Pendor and Heath out of their\nbreastworks, thus breaking through the centre of our line of battle.\nIt was an awful hour--fear and despair could be seen in every face. In\nvain did Heath and Pendor try to repossess their works.\nJust at that moment Longstreet arrived on the ground. Hood\u2019s Texans\nwere in front. Lee came in a gallop to meet them. With tears in his\neyes and his long hair flying in the wind, he asked, \u201cWhat troops are\nthese?\u201d \u201cHood\u2019s Texans,\u201d was the reply. \u201cFollow me!\u201d he said. When he\nstarted to lead them, a Texan belonging to the First Texas Regiment,\ncommanded by Colonel J. R. Harding, now of Jackson, Mississippi,\ncaught the bridle of General Lee\u2019s horse and turned him back. Away\nwent the Texans followed by the Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, and\nLouisiana brigades, and drove the enemy back and saved the day. This\nwas but one of the glorious acts of General Longstreet.\nCold Harbor, Seven Pines, Gaines Mill, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg are\nnot less glorious than others named, and all made so by the energy\nand courage of Longstreet and his faithful soldiers. At the battle of\nSharpsburg for a long time our army was threatened with defeat; our\nlines began to waver before the terrible fire of the superior numbers\nwith which we were contending, when General Longstreet, just from a\nhot contest on our left, was brought around to the centre, and for six\nlong hours he repelled the assailants of this numerous host and \u201ckept\nthe executives at bay and drove back the Mamalukes of power.\u201d Forget\nhim? No! The names of Lee and Longstreet will live as those of C\u00e6sar\nand Napoleon, and when this physical world shall have perished, and the\nheavens rolled together as a scroll, the names of these men will be\nremembered.\n_Resolved_, That in the death of General Longstreet the South has lost\none of her most brilliant soldiers.\n_Resolved_, That in battles his name was a synonym of success, and his\npresence an inspiration to his men, a terror to his enemies.\n_Resolved_, That the Camp wear the usual badge for thirty days and a\ncopy of this paper be sent to his family at Gainesville, Georgia.\n _For Committee_.\nAdopted by Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Camp, No. 21, U. C. V., February\n(_John M. Stephen\u2019s Camp._)\n \u201cWhere his flag waved his lines stood as immovable as Gibraltar.\u201d\nCOMRADES,--At his home at Gainesville, Georgia, at 5 P.M., Saturday,\nJanuary 2, 1904, in his eighty-third year, Lieutenant-General\nLongstreet answered his last roll-call. If Alabama had done nothing\nsave to give us Longstreet and Pelham, she would have done much for\nherself, the Southland, and for fame. If with Alexander, Hannibal,\nand Napoleon, Robert E. Lee takes first rank among the world\u2019s great\ngenerals, surely General Longstreet may stand with those who occupy\nsecond rank among the world\u2019s great military men.\nIf Jackson was Lee\u2019s right hand, Longstreet was his left from Manassas\nto Appomattox.\nLongstreet was a very thunder-bolt of war. When Jackson at the second\nbattle of Manassas was hard pressed by Pope\u2019s whole army, Longstreet\nrushed to his aid and, striking Pope\u2019s flank, crushed it as an\negg-shell in the hand of a strong man. Thus always and everywhere that\nLongstreet led, his men hurried to death as joyously as the bridegroom\nto greet the bride; where his flag waved his lines stood as immovable\nas Gibraltar to the storms of the ocean, and when he moved forward,\nthere the enemy were beaten or death and carnage reigned supreme. If\nafter Appomattox, Longstreet made mistakes, or we imagined he did,\nthe mantle of death covers them all. Remembering there has only One\nlived without fault, they are forgotten, and standing by his grave we\nremember only his virtues and the heroism and skill which made him\ngreat in times and places where great men were thick as fallen leaves\nin Vallombrosa; therefore be it\n_Resolved_, That we mourn the death of our great leader, and tender to\nhis bereaved family our sincere sympathy.\n_Resolved_, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this\nCamp, and that copies be furnished our town papers for publication and\na copy be sent to General Longstreet\u2019s widow.\n(_Jeff Falkner Camp._)\n \u201cHis officers and men have never doubted his courage and loyalty.\u201d\nCommander John Purifoy spoke of the death of General Longstreet and\nintroduced the subjoined resolutions which were unanimously adopted.\n\u201cIn the death of Lieutenant-General James Longstreet a great soldier\nhas \u2018passed over the river\u2019 to his final rest. No more will he wake\nto behold the splendor and fame of his men. He has fought his last\nbattle. In the school of war he had learned courage, promptness, and\ndetermination. Its stern lessons had taught him fortitude in suffering,\ncoolness in danger, and cheerfulness under reverses. Every Southerner\nshould feel proud of his record as a soldier.\n\u201cWhile some of those who were associated with him in the many great\nbattles in which he was a conspicuous figure, have permitted themselves\nto engage in some adverse criticism of his conduct on one occasion\nonly, the officers and men under his immediate command never for a\nmoment doubted his courage, his skill, his integrity, his sincerity,\nor his loyalty to the cause for which he unsheathed his sword. Nor did\nthe great Lee, whose confidence he retained to his death, ever intimate\nthat Longstreet was not faithful, brave, and prompt in the discharge of\nevery duty as a soldier.\n\u201cAs surviving comrades we will cherish his memory; as Alabamans, we are\nproud of his record. His integrity, his honesty, and his heroic conduct\nare worthy of emulation.\n\u201c_Resolved_, That our sincere condolence is hereby tendered his\nbereaved widow and other members of his family.\n\u201c_Resolved_, That this memorial and resolutions be spread upon our\nminutes, and that they be given to the press for publication.\n\u201c_Resolved_, That a copy of the same be mailed to his widow at\nGainesville, Georgia.\u201d\n(_George B.

His fame as a skilful, resolute,\nand sagacious commander, the honor due him as a dauntless defender\nof his native soil, his record for faithful performance of duty and\nunflinching courage from \u201cManassas to Appomattox,\u201d will endure so long\nas the story of the great struggle shall be told.\nForgetting in the presence of his death and grave all later\ndifferences, we remember and acknowledge his services and his heroism\nin the hour of need and trial.\n_Resolved_, That these resolutions be spread on the minutes of this\nCamp, and the daily papers of this city be requested to publish same;\nalso, that a copy be sent to the bereaved widow of our distinguished\ncomrade.\n Respectfully submitted,\n JAS.

He was born in\nEdgefield District, South Carolina, January 8, 1821, hence lacked\nonly a few days of being eighty-three years of age. He graduated from\nWest Point in 1842, was in the war with Mexico and brevetted for\nmeritorious service at Churubusco and Molino del Rey. He was wounded\nSeptember 8, 1847, at the storming of Chapultepec. He was commissioned\nbrigadier-general in the Confederate army at the first battle of\nBull Run, in 1861, where he commanded a brigade on the right of the\nConfederate army and held in check a strong force of the enemy in a\nvain effort to turn General Johnston\u2019s flank; and from then until the\ndark day at Appomattox, when the sun of the Confederacy went down in\ngloom to rise no more, the flag of \u201cOld Pete,\u201d as he was familiarly\ncalled by his old comrades, was everywhere in the thick of the fight;\nand he was one of Lee\u2019s most trusted lieutenants, and every true\nConfederate soldier will drop a tear to his memory. He has crossed\nthe dark river and is now resting with Lee, Jackson, and thousands of\nothers who have answered the last roll-call, heard the last tattoo, and\nwill hear the roll of the drum and the call to arms no more forever.\nPeace to his ashes and sympathy to his living comrades is our sincere\nwish; therefore be it\n_Resolved_, That the death of General Longstreet takes from our earthly\nranks another of the brave and true, one who was ever ready to obey the\ncall of duty, as the writers of this resolution can testify, having\nfollowed him through many bloody engagements where he was indeed a\nleader whom any might feel honored to follow.

He was known as the \u201cFighting\nGeneral,\u201d and, with the exception of the battle of Chancellorsville,\nwas with General Lee in all his campaigns from the Seven Days\u2019 fight\naround Richmond until the war ended at Appomattox, save only when\nincapacitated a few months by wounds received in the battle of the\nWilderness in 1864. He was loved and respected by his soldiers, and the\nsurviving veterans of his corps have always honored their leader and\nare mourners at his grave.\n_Resolved_, That we who knew him and followed him through the dangers\nand trials of protracted war claim the privilege of paying our tribute\nof heartfelt sorrow to the memory of our dead commander.\n_Resolved_, That we extend to his widow and surviving children our\nsympathy in their affliction.\n_Resolved_, That this memorial be spread upon the records of this Camp,\nand that a copy be sent to his bereaved family.\n(_J. E. B. Stuart Camp._)\n \u201cGeneral Lee leaned on him as a strong arm of defence.\u201d\nIn the death of General James Longstreet passes away one of the\nmost prominent generals of the Southern Confederacy. He was born in\nEdgefield District, South Carolina, January 8, 1821. When ten years\nold, in 1831, he moved with his mother to Alabama, and from this State\nhe was appointed to the United States Military Academy, from whence\nhe graduated in 1842. He was assigned to duty at Jefferson Barracks,\nMissouri, in 1842-44; on frontier duty at Natchitoches, Louisiana,\n1844-45; in the occupation of Texas, 1845-46; and in the war with\nMexico. Here he was wounded, was promoted several times for gallantry,\nhis courage being observable on all occasions. He faithfully discharged\nhis duties as an officer of the United States until June 1, 1861, when\nhe resigned and entered the service of the Southern Confederacy. His\ncareer is well known to his comrades, and is a part of the glorious\nhistory of our Southern cause. He was a brave soldier, a superior\nofficer, brave and true, and one of the hardest fighters of the Army\nof Northern Virginia. General Lee had implicit confidence in him, and\nleaned on him as a strong arm of defence in the most desperate fighting\nand splendid generalship. Longstreet was a man of the front, where he\nstood to execute orders the most difficult and hazardous, and did not\nlay aside his sword until his leader surrendered his shattered forces,\nuntil there was no more fighting to do. He was cool, deliberate, and\nyet generous. It became an acknowledged fact that where Longstreet and\nhis brave men were, was sure and desperate fighting. He stood in line\nof battle ready for engagement when the surrender came, loosening his\ngrip on his faithful sword only when the war had ended.\nWe honor him for his works\u2019 sake, and bow our heads in memory of his\nwonderful achievements, his devotedness to duty, and love for our great\nSouthland.\n_Resolved_, That this memorial be spread upon the minutes of this\nCamp, a copy furnished the family of our deceased comrade, and a copy\nfurnished such papers as may wish to publish the same.\nDone by order of J.

He\nwas one of the most persistent and determined fighters that any country\never produced.\nSecond, He was independent, self-reliant, watchful, devoted to the\ncause he espoused. He never flinched from unexpected difficulties,\nand showed his readiness to die at his post if need be. He was a man\nof superb courage. \u201cHe not only acted without fear, but he had that\nfortitude of soul that bears the consequence of the course pursued\nwithout complaint.\u201d In the presence of death, the good man judges as\nhe would be judged. In the grave should be buried every prejudice and\npassion born in conflict of opinion. Fortunate are we, indeed, when we\nbecome great enough to know and appreciate the great.

It needs not the building\nof a pantheon or vote of a senate to give them a place among the\nimmortals, to keep alive their illustrious acts and virtues. Most\ncertainly it is not necessary in the case of Longstreet,--\u201cOld Pete,\u201d\nas he was lovingly called by comrades who followed him unflinchingly\nthrough four years of warfare. \u201cOld Pete\u201d is dead, yet he lives in the\nhearts of his old corps and will continue to live in history, poetry,\nand song, the beau-ideal of a soldier, patriot, and a lover of liberty.\nYet like all men who attain to eminent merit and conspicuous sublimity,\nhe lived to realize the truthfulness of the poet, that\n \u201cHe who ascends to mountain-tops shall find\n The loftiest peaks most wrapt in clouds and snow.\n He who surpasses or subdues mankind\n Must look down on the hate of those below,\n Though high above the sun of glory glow,\n And far beneath the earth and ocean spread;\n Round him are icy rocks and loudly blow\n Contending tempests on his naked head,\n And thus reward the toil which to those summits led.\u201d\nSuch was the fateful experience of our beloved Longstreet, a corps\ncommander and lieutenant-general in the Army of Northern Virginia. To\nhim obedience to constituted authority moulded and shaped the ideal\nsoldier and citizen for his distinguished life service; and became the\nreasons for his acts in rigidly observing his Appomattox parole.

D. Smith Chapter of the Daughters of Confederacy_.\n(_Cobb County, Georgia, Camp._)\n \u201cHis knightly valor won for him a diadem of glory.\u201d\nThe committee appointed to give some appropriate expression of its\nhigh appreciation, love, and honor for General James Longstreet, the\ngreat leader of Longstreet\u2019s corps, C.S.A., and of our deep sorrow at\nhis death, and to report and recommend suitable action by this Camp,\nrespectfully submit the following:\nGeneral James Longstreet was a native of South Carolina, born of an\nillustrious family, distinguished alike for intellectual strength and\nnobility of character. His love for his native State and the South\nwas inherent and strengthened by associations, early education, and\nenvironments. In keeping with his natural tastes and fitness for his\nchosen profession, his education was completed at the military school\nof the United States at West Point, where he developed that strong\nand wonderful intellectual power of perception, combination, and\ncomparison, coupled with cool self-possession, knightly valor, and\nlofty ambition, which in the field of terrific war and deadly battle\nwon for him, the armies he led, and the Southern Confederacy his diadem\nof glory, as enduring as the history of the struggles of nations in\nfreedom\u2019s cause.\nGeneral James Longstreet was the friend, comrade, and companion of the\nmatchless Lee, Generals Joseph E. and Albert Sidney Johnston, of the\nincomparable Stonewall Jackson, Leonidas Polk, John B. Gordon, and the\nother great leaders of the Confederate army; and was inspired with the\nsame love of his native State and the South.\nHis love for his subalterns and privates of his army was as true and\nsincere as that of father to son. Many of the members of this camp knew\nhim personally in the tent and on the march, on the battle-field, and\nin the dreadful charge; heard his commands, witnessed his noble deeds,\nand listened to his kind words of encouragement and sympathy. He was\nour comrade, our friend, and our great leader, and there is a sting, a\nsense of bereavement, which finds some solace in the flowing tear and\nthe glorious hope that we shall meet again. He was a Christian soldier.\nIN MEMORIAM.\n_Resolved_, That we regard it a duty which we owe to posterity that the\nState of Georgia, all surviving Confederate veterans, and especially\nthose of Longstreet\u2019s corps, should provide an equestrian statue of\nGeneral Longstreet, to be erected on the Capitol grounds at Atlanta.\n_Resolved_, That a committee be appointed by the Commander of this camp\nto inaugurate the movement and take all necessary steps to secure such\na statue.\n_Resolved_, That Camp No. 763, U. C. V., tenders to the widow and\nfamily of our beloved chieftain our heartfelt sympathy in the hour of\ntheir bereavement and sorrow.\n_Resolved_, That a copy of the foregoing be forwarded to the family.\n_Resolved_, That the action of the Camp be published in the Cobb County\npapers.\n WM. PHILLIPS,\n(_Atlanta Camp._)\n \u201cHis name and fame are the heritage of the American people.\u201d\nAtlanta Camp, No. 159, United Confederate Veterans, in the following\nreport pays glowing tribute to the memory of the late General James\nLongstreet, who died on January 2, at his home in Gainesville, Georgia.\nIn the death of General James Longstreet, there passed away a notable\nand commanding figure of the Army of Northern Virginia in the late\nCivil War.\nHis history and service are indissolubly connected with all of the\ngreat movements of that army.\nIt would not be within the purview of this memorial to attempt to even\nepitomize the part he took in the many great battles. Coming into that\nstruggle with a prestige and honor which shone with brilliant lustre\non account of his intrepid bravery and gallantry as an officer of the\narmy of the United States on many fields in Mexico, and being withal\nan educated and trained soldier, a majestic man, of mild manners and\nspeech and of leonine courage, his very name throughout the army and\nthe whole country was a tower of strength. From first Manassas to\nAppomattox, his command and leadership held the first place among the\ngreat army corps of the greatest army that was ever marshalled in this\nor in any other country. Made a lieutenant-general in the early part of\nthe war, the conspicuous bravery, skill, and reliability shown by him\nin the very crisis of the battles of Williamsburg and at Seven Pines,\nand other great conflicts before Richmond in 1862, won for him from\nGeneral Lee the sobriquet of the \u201cOld War-Horse.\u201d\nAfter General Lee had planned the advance on General Pope, and after\nJackson had passed through Thoroughfare Gap to the rear of General\nPope, and when he was heavily engaged and sorely pressed, Lee and\nLongstreet were passing through Thoroughfare Gap. After a spirited\ncontest at that mountain-pass, Longstreet\u2019s corps moved like a majestic\nstream on to the plains of Manassas, where his lines were quickly\nformed. Striking the enemy with the \u201chand of Mars,\u201d the thunder of\nhis guns greeted the ear of Jackson, giving hope and succor to his\nforces as the sound of the Scottish bagpipes heralded the approach\nof the relieving column to the beleaguered garrison at Lucknow. The\nwell-directed assault which he made in General Pope\u2019s front crowned the\nSouthern arms with complete victory.\nLOYAL TO THE SOUTH.\nThe Southern cause had no more loyal supporter nor courageous soldier\nthan General Longstreet, as the honorable wounds and scars which he\ncarried to his death abundantly attest. He had the unbounded confidence\nof his commander-in-chief. The history of that great war gives but one\nrecord of Longstreet being absent from his command, and that was on\naccount of serious wounds received on the field of the Wilderness in\nMay, 1864, where, in preparing to lead in person his forces against\nGeneral Hancock\u2019s corps, he momentarily halted to receive a word of\ncongratulation from General Micah Jenkins, of South Carolina, when\nLongstreet\u2019s own men, mistaking these two generals, with the little\ngroup of horsemen composing their staff surrounding them, for the\nenemy, fired, killing General Jenkins and wounding General Longstreet\nin the throat and shoulder, from which he was ever afterwards maimed.\nWe would not omit to mention that in 1863, when several of his\ndivisions were ordered from Virginia to Georgia to reinforce the Army\nof Tennessee, on his arrival in Atlanta, and when at the old Trout\nHouse, at the junction of Decatur and Pryor Streets, where the old\nAustell building now stands, he was called to the balcony of the\nhotel to speak to the large and enthusiastic multitude of soldiers\nand citizens who thronged every inch of the two streets, he said \u201cI\ncame not to speak; I came to meet the enemy.\u201d The inspiration of his\npresence and this short and pithy declaration called forth from the\nassembled multitude the exclamation, \u201cWhat a magnificent looking man\nand soldier.\u201d How well he fulfilled his mission in the battle of\nChickamauga history makes no mistake in its record. How his forces were\nhurled against those of General Thomas, and how his army turned the\ntide of battle into victory, are too well known to need repetition. In\nthis battle, like others where he led, his advance was stubborn and\ndecisive.\nHe followed with unfaltering bravery and devotion the fortunes of the\nConfederacy until the last drama was enacted at Appomattox, and was a\nmember of the last council of war held in the woods on the night of\nApril 8, 1865, and was the senior commissioner, on the part of the\nConfederate forces appointed by the commander-in-chief, to arrange the\ndetails and terms of the surrender of that little shattered band which,\nthrough fire and smoke, hunger and cold, had stood by the flag of the\nConfederacy through all the trying ordeals of four years\u2019 grim and\nbloody strife.\nIN THE VERY FIRST RANK.\nThe name and fame of General Longstreet are the common heritage of\nthe South and the whole American people. The names of his immediate\nancestors are historic and dear especially to every Georgian. His\nqualities as a soldier have won for him the highest encomiums not only\nof the Southern people, but from the Northern people as well. All true\nhistory, including that written from an English stand-point, places\nLongstreet in the very first rank as to ability and generalship among\nany of Lee\u2019s subordinates.\nNo time nor mere political differences can affect or dim the lustre\nof that name. The past is secure, the future is safe. We can say with\nall the emphasis that the words import that he was one of the bravest,\ntruest, safest, and the most devoted of the Confederate leaders. In the\ngenerations to come, when passion and prejudice shall vanish like the\nmists of the morning at the presence of the clear sunlight of truth,\nLongstreet\u2019s name shall receive at the hands of the entire civilized\nworld the praise and honor to which it is justly entitled.\nLONGSTREET AND DAVIS.\nWe may be permitted to refer briefly to an incident that occurred on\nthe occasion of the unveiling of the Ben Hill monument in Atlanta.\nAmong the many distinguished ex-Confederate chieftains seated on\nthe platform was ex-President Jefferson Davis. General Longstreet\ncame down from his home in Gainesville, clad in the full uniform of\na lieutenant-general of the Confederate army, wearing his sword.\nProviding himself with a superb mount, he rode out Peachtree Street\nto the site of the monument, and, dismounting, walked unannounced to\nthe platform into the outstretched arms of Jefferson Davis. As they\nembraced each other, they presented a scene worthy of the brush of\na Raphael or a Rubens. Once heroes in common victory, they were now\nheroes in common defeat. This was a beautiful and shining example for\nall latter day critics.\nThis silent episode, as if too impressive to be broken, stilled\nthe vast multitude for a moment, and then spontaneously from forty\nthousand Confederate veterans and citizens, the ladies joining in the\ndemonstration by waving their handkerchiefs, there went up a loud and\ncontinuous shout of applause that rent the air.\nLet us never forget the four years of glorious service rendered by\nGeneral Longstreet to the Lost Cause, and let the South erect a\nmonument to his memory, to tell to future generations that the South is\nnever forgetful or indifferent to that glorious service rendered in\nthe cause for which it fought and for which many bled and died.\nGeneral Longstreet died in Gainesville, Georgia, January 2, 1904, and\nwas buried with military honors on the 6th day of the same month. A\ndetail from this Camp, as well as detachments from various military\norganizations, joined in paying the last honor to the old soldier.\nTouching and beautiful was the kindly sympathy shown his memory by his\nneighbors in Gainesville who were bound to him by ties that no time can\nsever. Never was a funeral more largely attended and more universal\nrespect shown to the dead by the entire community in which he lived.\nAll places of business were closed. The Confederate Veterans, the\npublic school children, the college girls, the citizens, all joined\nin the procession which followed his remains to beautiful Alta Vista,\nwhere on the crown of the hill overlooking the far-away Blue Ridge was\nlaid to rest all that is mortal of the old battle-scarred hero.\n BENJAMIN F. ABBOTT,\n GEORGE HILLYER,\n(_Houston, Georgia, Camp._)\n \u201cHis war structure cannot be pulled down.\u201d\nAt a meeting of the old soldiers of Houston County, Georgia, to\ncommemorate the birth of the immortal Lee, and also, by previous\narrangement, to take cognizance and condolence of the death of General\nLongstreet, under whom many of these old soldiers served throughout the\nwar, the following resolutions were submitted and unanimously adopted:\n_Resolved_, That in the death of General James Longstreet we sustain\nthe loss of one of the most valiant and capable soldier commanders of\nthe \u201cLost Cause.\u201d\n_Resolved_, That while during the gigantic war and struggle between the\nStates, General Lee regarded him as almost a part of himself, \u201cMy old\nwar-horse,\u201d in the carrying out and accomplishments of apparently, at\ntimes, the impossible against and over the enemy.\nWe view him as from behind the guns, and under those conflicts whose\nfierceness and terrible results were sufficient to stagger, and even\nturn back, the stoutest manhood, yet we never saw him evince the least\nfear, turn his back in dishonor, nor disobey his noble chieftain.\nHis war structure shows the hand of no ordinary builder, and cannot be\npulled down.\nHe carved his way through the ranks of the enemy in such a fashion\nthat they themselves, and their descendants, admire the man for his\ngreat military ability; nor can they be less thrilled by that chivalry\nand Americanism he and so many others, equally valorous and capable,\ndisplayed and forged for conscience\u2019 sake, thus awakening and holding\nthe world as never before in any age.\nThis was General James Longstreet as we saw him then, and, without\nsuperficiality, as we see him to-day, through our vanishing memories\nand waning manhoods, one of the greatest soldiers who crossed\nswords with the many gallant spirits of the other side--brother\nAmericans--over a principle which did not, and, thank God, could not\ndie--a gift of God to humanity to stand for the right, fight for the\nright, and die for the right, even though in failure, that others may\nprofit by it.\n_Resolved_, That we regret to have to antagonize and reprove even one\nChapter of that great, good, and soulful organization, known as the\nDaughters of the Confederacy, but we can neither endorse the spirit\nand sentiment, nor the statement made by that Savannah Chapter that\n\u201cGeneral Longstreet disobeyed General Lee\u2019s order at the battle of\nGettysburg.\u201d\n_Resolved_, That we believe, and would advise, that the life and future\ngood of that great organization lies in the thorough education of its\nChapters to correct history, and a proper appreciation of the spirit\nand tenets of the order--a proper observance of its constitution.\n_Resolved_, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Mrs.\nLongstreet, carrying with it, as it does, a sympathy, love, and sorrow\nsuch as only can be given by old soldiers bronzed by the same smoke,\nbuffeted by the same battles, and scarred by the same fury through\nwhich he passed for the love of home and country, for the love of\ntruth, and for the love of a \u201ccause\u201d then dearer than even life\nitself, and for which so many gallant spirits went down.\n_Resolved_, That the _Home Journal_ be requested to publish these\nproceedings.\n Respectfully submitted,\n C. C. DUNCAN,\n _Commander Post 880, presiding_.\n J. D. MARTIN,\n _Adjutant_.\n(_Survivors of Longstreet\u2019s Corps._)\n \u201cHistory will give him that which is due.\u201d\nAnother set of resolutions, showing the esteem in which Longstreet\u2019s\nmen held the dead general, and the love that they bear for him,\nwere drawn up yesterday by Mr. A. K. Wilson, who was a member of\nLongstreet\u2019s corps, and were signed by the veterans in the city, who,\nlike Mr. Wilson, had been followers of the dead leader. The resolutions\nwere as follows:\nCOMRADES,--Our comrade and our leader has left us. He has gone to join\nthe hosts on the other side of the great river, and we that followed\nhim at the Manassases, Thoroughfare Gap, Yorktown, Fairfax, Falls\nChurch, Munson\u2019s and Upton\u2019s Hills, the Wilderness, where he received\nthat wound said to be from his own men; Williamsburg, Sharpsburg, to\nTennessee; Chickamauga, Knoxville, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge,\nback to Virginia, and on all the great fields on her soil, testify to\nhis worth. With his corps back to Virginia, see him as he appeared\nat Petersburg, and countless other places of trust. Lastly, with his\nragged, half-starved, barefooted remnant, bearing scars as he bore\nthem, see him as he approaches Appomattox, his men drawing but one ear\nof corn for a day\u2019s rations.\nMy comrades, he needs no emblems. History in time will give to him that\nwhich is due, and those that were with him, his survivors, will ever\nhold his memory green. Like ourselves, his services at Appomattox show\nto the world that he was ever faithful to his enlistment and true to\nthe cause that he espoused, and his parting with Lee establishes that\nfact. Now, be it\n_Resolved_, That we, the survivors of Longstreet\u2019s corps, tender to his\nbereaved family our heartfelt sympathy, showing the love and esteem\nthat we had for our dear old leader.\n SURVIVORS OF LONGSTREET\u2019S CORPS.\nSAVANNAH, GEORGIA.\n(_Camp Hardee._)\n \u201cLongstreet more often than any other subordinate was trusted\n with independent commands.\u201d\n_To Camp Hardee, Confederate Veterans, Birmingham, Alabama_:\nYour committee, appointed to report resolutions commemorative of the\nlife and service of the late Lieutenant-General James Longstreet,\nrecommends the following:\n_Resolved_, That in the testimony of the estimate of old soldiers of\nhis life and services to the South in the great war between the States\nCamp Hardee adopt the following statement:\nGeneral Longstreet, a South Carolinian by birth, a graduate of the\nWest Point Military Academy as a cadet from Alabama, while assured of\nposition in the Federal army, resigned the commission he held in an\nestablished service to enter the unorganized, poorly equipped army of\nthe Confederacy, and undertook all the arduous duties and dangers of\nthat war, and fought it out to the disastrous end.\nFrom the time of his appointment as brigadier-general under Beauregard\nalong the line of Bull Run Creek, in July, 1861, to the surrender\nat Appomattox in April, 1865, he was distinguished as a stalwart,\nskilful commander and a gallant soldier. He was remarkable for staying\nqualities rather than for dash.\nIn all that brave service there was nothing spectacular, but he was\nalways steadfast, true, and reliable.\nWhatever may have been said of General Longstreet, it is remarkable\nthat at no time for inefficiency or the absence of results or\ndisobedience of order was he relieved of his command. No other\nsubordinate was so often intrusted with independent and difficult\nenterprises. Now that death has silenced all complaints and the great\ncommander has gone to his reward, we who survive him desire to crown\nhis memory with the degree of praise which his great deeds wrought in\nbehalf of his people so richly deserve. As a soldier he was wholly\nfaithful to the South, and for that fidelity merits the grateful\nappreciation of our people. Such a great soul needs no defence. Time\nwill cover with its mantle whatever has been charged as his faults. It\nmay be that in the great conservatism of his nature he saw more clearly\nwhat was best for his country. In this hour of bereavement let us only\nremember that a great and gallant spirit has gone to his reward; and\ntherefore,\n_Resolved_, That this memorial be spread on the minutes of the camp,\nand a copy be sent to the widow of the dead general with the assurance,\nin this hour of her great bereavement, she has the sympathy of Camp W.\nJ. Hardee.\n \u201cHardest fighter in the army.\u201d\nComrades, we assemble to pay tribute to the memory of\nLieutenant-General Longstreet, one of our great chieftains. For him\n\u201ctaps have sounded,\u201d \u201clights are out,\u201d and \u201call is still.\u201d This\nfearless leader is gone. He was the \u201chard fighter\u201d of Northern\nVirginia, and his opponents always knew when he was in their front or\ndirecting the assault. He had the confidence of his men, and they loved\nhim. He led them but to victory. The South admired and trusted him. His\nname is enshrined with that of the Army of Northern Virginia, and when\nher history shall be gathered and cast into final form, honorable will\nbe the place assigned to our great general.\nWe would therefore recommend the adoption of the following tribute of\nesteem and respect:\nWHEREAS, Lieutenant-General Longstreet recently passed away at his home\nin Gainesville, Georgia, and was buried amid the regrets and tears of\nmany who had gathered from different parts of our Southland to pay the\nrespect due his illustrious name; therefore be it\n_Resolved_, That we bow our heads unto Him who is the author and\nfinisher of our career, and acknowledge that, while we can not always\nunderstand, yet we know that He doeth all things well.\n_Resolved_, That the comrades of Camp No. 135, Confederate Veterans,\nhave heard with sorrow and regret of the death of this brave general\nand fearless commander.\n_Resolved_, Educated in the profession of arms, he gave the best years\nof his life to the service of his country. For twenty-five years prior\nto the action which necessitated his State severing her connection with\nthe Union, he most valiantly drew his sword in her defence. Through the\nMexican War and during the continuous troubles with the Indians on our\nWestern plains his services were so conspicuous for gallantry that he\nattained the rank of major.\n_Resolved_, When his State could no longer remain in the Union, but\nwithdrew, he resigned his commission, and cast his lot with that of his\nState. As he had been gallant and successful in the army of the Union,\nhe now became more so in the army of the Confederacy. The enlarged\nopportunities furnished what his great ability needed. From the rank\nof major he rose rapidly to that of lieutenant-general and second\nin command to our peerless Lee. As brigadier-general at Manassas he\nengaged the left wing of the enemy with the result that is familiar to\nall of us. As major-general he was selected to cover Johnston\u2019s retreat\nin the Peninsula. He won Williamsburg and was at Seven Pines. For his\nservice in the Seven Days\u2019 fight around Richmond Congress rewarded him\nwith the rank of senior lieutenant-general and second in command of all\nthe Confederate forces. He was at the second Manassas with Jackson, and\nat South Mountain. At Sharpsburg he was knighted \u201cWar-Horse\u201d by his\nchieftain. Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, and the Wilderness\nfelt his presence; while Petersburg, Five Forks, and Appomattox beheld\nhis gallantry. Comrades, we knew him, we loved him, we trusted him.\nTo-day we would pay him his tribute; believing him to be worthy to be\nplaced beside Lee, Albert Sidney and Joseph E.

General Longstreet was as brave and gallant a soldier as wore the\ngray during the fierce struggle of the South. He was known and loved\nthroughout this fair sunny Southland, not only as a soldier and general\nwho so gallantly and fearlessly led his men in the Southern cause, but\nas a true and noble man, and when his final summons came and he laid\ndown his earthly armor for a heavenly crown, it cast a shadow over all\nthe South, that another of her brave generals who had so nobly defended\nher cause was no more.\nBut since he has left us and is no more among his family, comrades, and\nfriends, be it\n_Resolved_, That this Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy\nregrets with deepest sorrow the death of General Longstreet, and\nthrough this little tribute to his memory expresses its deepest and\nsincerest sympathy.\n_Resolved_, That his State and nation has lost a grand and noble man,\nthe Southern cause a gallant and fearless soldier.\n_Resolved_, That a copy of these resolutions be placed on the\nminute-book of the Chapter and a copy be sent to General Longstreet\u2019s\nfamily.\n MRS.

Lee. After the adoption of\nthese resolutions, nothing which we can say could add to his soldier\u2019s\nrecord. He needs no defence. We consign his name to history; so long as\nmankind reads it, they will find no brighter page than that written by\nLongstreet\u2019s corps.\nHe illustrated the South in a long life, the best years of it devoted\nto her and her cause, he sacrificed to serve her as much as any other\none man, he fought a score of battles for her, and never one against\nher, and this State, over his grave, mingle their tears with those\nof the people whom he served and the devoted family who survive him;\ntherefore\n_Resolved_, That the Army of the Confederate States of America is\nrapidly passing to the Great Beyond, leaving a record, a part of the\nhistory of the American people, to which we point with pride, and to\nwhich in a few generations civilized man will look, and admit that it\nillustrated the highest type of American citizenship.\n_Resolved_, That we extend our sympathies to the surviving family of\nGeneral Longstreet and to the South, at his death, and that a copy of\nthe foregoing preamble and resolutions be furnished to his family and\nto the press.\n MISS KATE FORT, _Chairman_.\n MRS.

Not only must\nall Americans hold high the memory of your husband as one of the\nillustrious captains of the Civil War, but they must hold it high\nparticularly because of the fine and high-souled patriotism which made\nhim, when the war was ended, as staunchly loyal to the Union as he had\nbeen loyal to the cause for which he fought during the war itself. In\nhis letter to General Sickles, in speaking of the part the General\nplayed in winning the victory of Gettysburg for the Union cause,\nGeneral Longstreet wrote:\n\u201cIt was the sorest and saddest reflection of my life for many years;\nbut, to-day, I can say, with sincerest emotion, that it was and is the\nbest that could have come to us all, North and South; and I hope that\nthe nation, reunited, may always enjoy the honor and glory brought to\nit by that grand work.\u201d\nThis is the spirit that gives us all, North and South, East and West,\nthe right to face the future with the confident hope that never again\nwill we be disunited, and that while united no force of evil can ever\nprevail against us.\nWith great regard,\n Sincerely yours,\n Theodore Roosevelt\n Mrs. James Longstreet,\n Gainesville, Georgia.\nPERSONAL LETTERS\n \u201cEvery inch a man.\u201d\n MRS.

I am a Canadian\nby birth, though a naturalized American citizen, and pastor of the\nChristian Church in this place. I had no interest in the matter at\nissue save to know the truth and give honor where honor is justly\ndue. I had read General Gordon\u2019s strictures, and was anxious to\nsee what could be said in reply.

Mr. Pendleton after the facts you have\ncovered him with, would need a divining rod or a diving-bell. _He is\ndisposed of forever._\nYour illustrious husband belonged to the class of Southern men which\nI have always honored and venerated. With him the war was over and\nthe great heart which never knew fear had in it nothing but kindness\nfor all that was American. I feel that I have suffered a great loss in\nnot knowing him personally. I drop a tear of sympathy with you in his\nmemory.

But I beg to assure\nyou that it is the result of ignorance. General Longstreet has taken\nhis place beside the great soldiers of all times, and malice cannot\nreach him. I hope some soldier of his old corps will take up the\nquestion of these attacks. They can be answered and reputed.

The nation\nmourns the loss of a noble man whose greatness of character won the\nrespect not only of his own country but of other lands. The South weeps\nfor a son who has conferred distinction upon her by a life of stainless\nintegrity.\nStill greater is the sorrow of a host of personal friends whose love he\nwon by the most lofty characteristics and a friendship which failed not\nthrough the years.\nGreatest of all is the grief of his family in the loss of his loving\ncompanionship and tender care. Especially heavy is that loss to you,\nthe companion of his later years whose devotion has smoothed the road\nfor his weary feet to the end of life\u2019s way. I send you my heartfelt\nsympathy in your sorrow.\nMy love and sympathy go out to the dear children whose mother was my\nbeloved friend, whom I have held in my arms in childhood, and whose\nlittle brothers and sisters faded away before my loving eyes when their\nflower of life had not yet unfolded from the bud of their sweet infancy\nand the mortal casket was intrusted to General Pickett and myself to be\nlaid away among the church-yard lilies when the jewel of the pure soul\nhad been taken beyond.\nTo the many to whom the new year brings mourning for the great one gone\nI would send sincere sympathy, trusting that the Father of all will\ncomfort them in their deep sorrow.\n Sincerely yours\n MRS.

His great fame is fixed.\nAll over this country wherever you find the old boys who wore the blue\nin the sixties, and who had to fight Longstreet\u2019s corps, you will get\nthe same opinion.\nHe was a hard fighter, a tireless general who was always ready for\na battle, and who believed that hitting hard, never giving up, and\nfollowing up every advantage was the right way to obey orders.\nOur regiment, the Sixth Ohio, met General Longstreet many times. And\nwhenever he was reported as coming we got ready for hard, stubborn\nfighting, and we were never disappointed in that direction.\nHe was a brave enemy, and we respected his great qualities.\nWe are going to have a \u201cLongstreet night\u201d at our G. A. R. Post here\nthis month (open meeting), and have invited all the Confederates near\nhere to meet with us and talk over old days and hard fights.\n Sympathizing with you in your loss, I remain,\n Yours obediently,\n \u201cIf Longstreet was disobedient, Lee was a traitor.\u201d\n MRS. LONGSTREET,\n Gainesville, Georgia:\nDEAR MADAM,--Enclosed I send you a brief tribute that I paid to General\nLongstreet.\nGeneral Longstreet\u2019s fame is safe with all fair-minded men, but it is\nthe duty of us, who knew him and served under him, to raise our voices\nin his defence, now that he cannot do so, as he formerly so ably and\nconclusively did, and I here make my defence of the charge that he\nfailed to do his duty at Gettysburg.\nIf it is true that General Longstreet betrayed General Lee at\nGettysburg, and that General Lee knew it, the legitimate and logical\nconclusions are that General Lee was a traitor, not only to the\nConfederacy, but to every man who served under him. All know that at\nGettysburg Lee staked an empire on Longstreet\u2019s corps, and all know\nthat when it rolled back from those bloody heights, leaving its bravest\nand its best cold in death upon its grassy slopes, that the sun of the\nConfederacy, with battle target red, slowly sank into the bosom of\neternal night. And to say that General Lee knew that General Longstreet\nwas responsible for the loss of the battle, responsible for the death\nof so many brave men who had there died in vain, responsible for the\nruin of a cause dear to so many hearts, and then permit the man who\nhad brought all this about, to remain as the commander of the First\nCorps of his army, to lovingly speak of him as he did as his right arm,\nto send him in two months after the battle of Gettysburg in command\nof his corps to save the Army of Tennessee from the ruin brought upon\nit by the inefficiency of Bragg, to permit him to remain throughout\nthat long and dreary winter that he spent in East Tennessee, to bring\nhim back to Virginia and be his chosen lieutenant from the Wilderness\nto the banks of the James, and from the James to Appomattox, is to\nconvict General Lee of a treason to both himself and his country, more\ndamnable than that which so-called admirers of General Lee charge upon\nLongstreet.\n I remain, very truly yours,\n \u201cDenounced with bitterness the statement of Pendleton.\u201d\n CORSICANA, TEXAS, January 8, 1904.\n MRS. JAMES LONGSTREET,\n Gainesville, Georgia:\nMADAM,--Your noble defence of your great husband places beyond cavil or\ncontroversy the fame of an illustrious career.\nYesterday, as I finished reading it, the bent form of one who had\nfollowed him everywhere, \u201camid the fiery pang of shells,\u201d passed,\nand I called him and read him the charge. \u201cLiars! Liars!\u201d and the\nlight of battle passed once more into his eyes as he defended General\nLongstreet. Then I read him your letter, and then he cried.\nYou will pardon me for this intrusion on your sorrow. My father was a\ncavalry officer in the volunteers in Scott\u2019s campaign in Mexico. He\nthere formed the acquaintance of General Longstreet, and none denounced\nwith more bitterness the statement of Pendleton.\n With a sincere wish for your future happiness,\n I am most respectfully,\n \u201cHe was too big a man for his day.\u201d\n New ORLEANS, LOUISIANA, January 4, 1904.\n MRS. GENERAL JAMES LONGSTREET,\n Gainesville, Georgia:\nDEAR MADAM,--Enclosed I send you the _Picayune_ comment on the death of\nyour distinguished husband and my honored commander.\nGeneral Longstreet is blamed for the mistake of General Lee in\ncharging the heights of Gettysburg. The same mistake was made by\nGeneral Burnside at Fredericksburg; which clearly proves that American\nsoldiers can not successfully charge heights guarded by Americans. That\nis settled.\nWhy should General Lee send General Longstreet to Chickamauga\nimmediately after Gettysburg, if Longstreet had been guilty of anything\nthat his enemies so persistently accuse.\nThe only thing that General Longstreet was guilty of was the acceptance\nof office under the United States government after the war. Now suppose\nall the Confederate generals had accepted office as he did, would\nit not have effectively kept the office-holders placed here by the\ncarpet-bag government out of power? And also, how many ex-Confederates\nrefuse office under the United States government to-day, is a question\nI would like to have answered. Longstreet was too big a man for his\nday, that was all.\nThe scribbling of unscrupulous parties can not dim his fame. He was the\nhardest fighter of the Civil War, participant in all the battles of the\nArmy of Northern Virginia, and victor on the only great field won by\nthe Confederates in the West, Chickamauga.\nI deeply sympathize with you, as I know all of Longstreet\u2019s corps do.\n Yours truly,\n _Company A, Hampton Legion, Hood\u2019s Brigade, Longstreet\u2019s Corps,\n Army of Northern Virginia._\n \u201cHe stood the brunt of the battle at Gettysburg.\u201d\n KRUMDALE, TEXAS, January 3, 1904.\n MRS. GENERAL JAMES LONGSTREET,\n Gainesville, Georgia:\nMY DEAR MADAM,--As an old Confederate soldier of the Eighteenth\nVirginia Regiment, Pickett\u2019s division, General James Longstreet\u2019s\ncorps, I wish to extend to you my heartfelt sympathy and condolence\nin your sad affliction in the death of your gallant and illustrious\nhusband. His old comrades will never for a moment believe the calumny\nthat has been thrust against him. A pure, true soldier, a good, noble,\nand loyal citizen. He rests now over the river under the shades of the\nbeautiful heavenly trees, the peer of Hon. Jeff. Davis, General R. E.\nLee, Stonewall Jackson, and others. May his ashes rest in peace. When\nI read the announcement of his death in the papers and your letter it\nmade my heart bleed, and the only comfort I could find was to weep like\na child. I congratulate you on your well-written defence and complete\nvindication of my old comrade and general. I loved him so much, and so\nlong as life shall last I will cherish a lively recollection of his\nmany noble and gallant deeds. I was with him on that memorable day,\nand can testify that he stood the brunt of the battle on the 3d of\nJuly at Gettysburg. I cannot understand how any pure or noble or brave\nman could circulate such false statements against one of the best and\nbravest men in our army. But envy is a malicious foe, always ready\nto destroy that which it cannot imitate or surpass. May God comfort\nand his blessings abide with you and yours is the prayer of one that\nentertains the highest respect for you and the memory of your husband.\n \u201cOne of the greatest military men of the age.\u201d\n MRS. LONGSTREET:\nDEAR MADAM,--I had not the honor of a personal acquaintance with your\nillustrious husband, nor was I with him in the war on his side of the\nquestion, in any sense. But I believe him to have been one of the\ngreatest military men of the age, and with no superior on the Southern\nside. His course since the war has inspired the highest respect and\nesteem of every patriotic and intelligent lover of the Union.\nAt Gettysburg, in my opinion, he was the one sure-footed counsellor of\nLee\u2019s many advisers.\nOne of our papers, recently commenting on his life, took occasion to\nrefer to the old charges of delay at Gettysburg. I expect to answer\nthese charges in a lengthy article.\n Yours sincerely,\nEFFINGHAM, N. H.\n \u201cAlways present at the critical and dangerous point.\u201d\nMY DEAR MRS. LONGSTREET,--I write to assure you of my heartfelt\nsympathy with you in your great bereavement.\nI mourn with deep sorrow the death of General Longstreet. I have\nwitnessed many times his valor and devotion. He seemed to me to be\nabsolutely ubiquitous on the battle-field--always present at the\ncritical and dangerous point.\nThe proudest recollections of my life are associated with the glorious\nFirst Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia and its heroic commander.\n With renewed assurance of my sympathy, I am,\n Yours very sincerely,\n \u201cHe died as he had lived, a model to mankind.\u201d\n METROPOLITAN CLUB,\n NEW YORK CITY, January 3, 1904.\nDEAR MRS. LONGSTREET,--I can not express to you the regret I felt when\nI read to-day of the death of my noble chief, your dear husband. A\nflood of vivid recollections overwhelmed me. It was no surprise to me,\nas I knew the nature of the ill he suffered under; still he was dead,\nand a blank left in my life which no time can heal. He was so much to\nme. For four years I had ridden at his side, and shared his confidence,\nand had learned to love him well. No unkind word or look stands between\nus, and my sorrow is that of one of his sons.\nTo you he has owed many happy years, and his old comrades will always\nbear you in tender thought.\nIn your last letter to me you wrote that the doctors had said he had \u201ca\nfighting chance.\u201d But alas! his time had come, and it found him ready I\nam sure. His life was blameless as it was brave, and he died as he had\nlived, a model to mankind.\nTo you and his children I offer my heartfelt sympathy. I can say no\nmore, as my heart is very full. As I see that he is to be buried\nto-morrow I can not be present, but my heart will be with you at his\ngrave.\n Always most warmly yours,\n OSMAN LATROBE.\n \u201cThe country had no more devoted patriot.\u201d\nMY DEAR MRS. LONGSTREET,--Please accept my profound sympathy in your\ngreat bereavement.\nWhile as a member of his corps from the time of its organization to the\nend, I knew General Longstreet only as a subordinate knows his superior\nofficer, after the struggle was over I met him frequently and conversed\nwith him on many subjects, and to my admiration and devotion to the\nsoldier and general was superadded esteem for him as a citizen and a\nhigh regard and fondness for him as a friend.\nIf some critics had known his methods as a commander, and witnessed his\npowers in battle, as we of his corps did on many hard-fought fields,\nand understood his course and motives as a civilian as his friends did,\nthey would bestow upon him nothing but words of praise and gratitude.\nThe ranking lieutenant-general of Lee\u2019s great army, he always had the\nconfidence of the commander-in-chief and the respect and admiration\nof all, and the \u201clost cause\u201d had no braver or truer defender and the\ncountry no more devoted patriot.\nBut I only intended to write a line of sympathy, hoping to meet you\nagain some time when we can talk of him and his career.\n With kind regards, I am,\n Very sincerely,\nLAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA.\n \u201cThe brilliant leader of gallant armies, but greater in peace as\n the patriotic citizen.\u201d\n WASHINGTON, D. C., January 5, 1904.\nMY DEAR MRS. LONGSTREET,--My heart was very deeply touched by the\nnews of General Longstreet\u2019s death, and I write to assure you of my\nprofound sorrow over the event and of my warm sympathy for you in the\nunspeakable loss which you sustain.\nGeneral Longstreet will always live in the great and ennobling example\nwhich he set before his fellow-men. He was truly great in war as the\nbrilliant leader of gallant armies, but he was greater in peace as the\npatriotic citizen loyally dedicating his splendid fame to the cause of\nhis country\u2019s restoration to an harmonious brotherhood.\nHis conduct since the termination of the mighty struggle in which he\nbore a distinguished part was prompted by the highest wisdom and by the\npurest love of country. And his fame can never be dimmed by the failure\nof the narrow-minded few to appreciate his great qualities of heart and\nof brain. I rejoice in the fact that he lived to a ripe old age, and\nwas thereby blessed with the privilege of witnessing the good fruits of\nhis noble career.\n With profound respect,\n I am truly yours,\n \u201cHis surpassing ability won him admiration as an American\n soldier.\u201d\n PHILADELPHIA, January 3, 1904.\nDEAR MRS. LONGSTREET,--Permit me to express my heartfelt sympathy in\nyour sad loss and unexpected bereavement.\nIt had never been my good fortune to meet the general, but his\nsurpassing ability and great and earnest devotion to the South won him,\nas an American soldier, _our_ admiration, and entitled him to the love\nand thanks of those whose cause was, for so long, the object of his\nsacrifices.\nWe in the North, or many of us, rate General Longstreet as among the\nablest of those who fought against us, and it was fortunate for us that\nhe did not have command at some critical moments, when his superior\njudgment would have directed other movements than those which were made.\n Very respectfully yours,\n \u201cSoldiers who served on the firing line knew the leaders.\u201d\nMY DEAR MRS. LONGSTREET,--We soldiers who served four years on the\nfiring line know who were the leaders; and Longstreet is held in high\nesteem as a broad-guage man in the North.\n Yours truly,\nPHILADELPHIA, January 5, 1904.\nTRIBUTE FROM THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC\nThat splendid soldier and generous gentleman, Major-General Oliver\nOtis Howard, sent the following letter to the Grand Army Encampment,\nassembled in thirty-eighth annual session at Boston, Massachusetts,\n \u201cBURLINGTON, VERMONT, August 10, 1904.\n \u201c_To the G. A. R. assembled at Boston_:\n \u201cCOMRADES,--Our Commander-in-Chief having already sent his\n subscription to the Memorial Volume to General Longstreet,\n written by his widow, I wish to join a list of subscribers to be\n forwarded from this encampment to Mrs. Longstreet, which we will\n request General Black to transmit with assurances of our regard\n and admiration for her great husband, whom we learned to fear on\n so many brilliant fields, and in a later day to admire for his\n noble qualities as citizen of the reunited nation.\u201d\nThis tribute came to me accompanied by a delightfully long list of\nsubscribers to this little volume. I would be pleased to print the\nlist, but want of space forbids.\nTHE SONS FOLLOW THE FATHERS\nThe twenty-third Annual Encampment of the Commandery-in-Chief of the\nSons of Veterans, U. S. A., was in session at Boston, August 17 to 19,\nAt their closing session, E. R. Campbell, of Washington, D. C., Past\nCommander-in-Chief, acting under unanimous consent, brought the above\ntribute from the Veterans to the attention of the Sons of Veterans.\nIn a graceful speech he referred to this beautiful testimonial from\nthe Grand Army of the Republic to the memory of a gallant opponent;\nasserted that the sons should follow in the footsteps of the fathers in\nall things attesting the spirit of a reunited nation; that it was the\npleasure of the sons on their own account and in the light of history\nto testify to their enthusiastic appreciation of the valorous deeds of\nGeneral Longstreet on the battle-field, and his equally commendable\nservices to his country when the war was over; and asked that the\nmatter be referred for further official action and endorsement to the\nincoming commander-in-chief, General William G. Dustin, of Dwight,\nIllinois.\nThe sentiment was applauded, the action asked was granted, and the\ntokens of individual approval and appreciation are continuing to\ngladden my heart as I write these closing words of grateful thanks\nto the fathers, the sons, and all who have so generously united in\nappreciation of the name and fame of General Longstreet.\nFOOTNOTES:\n[A] Hood says, \u201cAs soon as I arrived upon the Emmitsburg road I placed\none or two batteries in position and opened fire. A reply from the\nenemy\u2019s guns soon developed his lines. His left rested on or near Round\nTop, with line bending back and again forward, forming, as it were,\na concave line, as approached by the Emmitsburg road. A considerable\nbody of troops was posted in front of their main line, between the\nEmmitsburg road and Round Top Mountain. This force was in line of\nbattle upon an eminence near a peach-orchard.\n\u201cI found that in making the attack according to orders,--viz., up the\nEmmitsburg road,--I should have first to encounter and drive off this\nadvanced line of battle; secondly, at the base and along the slope of\nthe mountain, to confront immense boulders of stone, so massed together\nas to form narrow openings, which would break our ranks and cause\nthe men to scatter whilst climbing up the rocky precipice. I found,\nmoreover, that my division would be exposed to a heavy fire from the\nmain line of the enemy in position on the crest of the high range, of\nwhich Round Top was the extreme left, and, by reason of the concavity\nof the enemy\u2019s main line, that we would be subject to a destructive\nfire in flank and rear, as well as in the front; and deemed it almost\nan impossibility to clamber along the boulders up this steep and rugged\nmountain, and, under this number of cross fires, put the enemy to\nflight. I knew that if the feat was accomplished, it must be at a most\nfearful sacrifice of as brave and gallant soldiers as ever engaged in\nbattle.\n\u201cI considered it my duty to report to you at once my opinion that it\nwas unwise to attack up the Emmitsburg road, as ordered, and to urge\nthat you allow me to turn Round Top and attack the enemy in flank and\nrear. Accordingly, I despatched a staff-officer, bearing to you my\nrequest to be allowed to make the proposed movement on account of the\nabove stated reasons. Your reply was quickly received: \u2018General Lee\u2019s\norders are to attack up the Emmitsburg road.\u2019 I sent another officer to\nsay that I feared nothing could be accomplished by such an attack, and\nrenewed my request to turn Round Top. Again your answer was, \u2018General\nLee\u2019s orders are to attack up the Emmitsburg road.\u2019 During this interim\nI had continued the use of the batteries upon the enemy, and had become\nmore and more convinced that the Federal line extended to Round Top,\nand that I could not reasonably hope to accomplish much by the attack\nas ordered. In fact, it seemed to me the enemy occupied a position by\nnature so strong--I may say impregnable--that, independently of their\nflank fire, they could easily repel our attack by merely throwing and\nrolling stones down the mountain-side, as we approached.\n\u201cA third time I despatched one of my staff to explain fully in regard\nto the situation, and suggest that you had better come and look for\nyourself. I selected, in this instance, my adjutant-general, Colonel\nHarry Sellers, whom you know to be not only an officer of great\ncourage, but also of marked ability. Colonel Sellers returned with the\nsame message: \u2018General Lee\u2019s orders are to attack up the Emmitsburg\nroad.\u2019 Almost simultaneously, Colonel Fairfax, of your staff, rode up\nand repeated the above orders.\n\u201cAfter this urgent protest against entering the battle of Gettysburg,\naccording to my instructions,--which protest is the first and only one\nI ever made during my entire military career,--I ordered my line to\nadvance and make the assault.\n\u201cAs my troops were moving forward, you rode up in person; a brief\nconversation passed between us, during which I again expressed the\nfears above mentioned, and regret at not being allowed to attack in\nflank around Round Top. You answered to this effect: \u2018We must obey the\norders of General Lee.\u2019 I then rode forward with my line under a heavy\nfire. In about twenty minutes after reaching the Peach-Orchard I was\nseverely wounded in the arm and borne from the field.\n\u201cWith this wound terminated my participation in this great battle. As\nI was borne off on a litter to the rear, I could but experience deep\ndistress of mind and heart at the thought of the inevitable fate of\nmy brave fellow-soldiers, who formed one of the grandest divisions of\nthat world-renowned army; and I shall ever believe that had I been\npermitted to turn Round Top Mountain, we would not only have gained\nthat position, but have been able finally to rout the enemy.\u201d\n[B] \u201cThe Campaign of Gettysburg,\u201d by Lieutenant-General James\nLongstreet.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic\nworks.\nProfessor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm\nconcept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared\nwith anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project\nGutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.\nProject Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed\neditions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.\nunless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily\nkeep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.\nMost people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:\nThis Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,\nincluding how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary\nArchive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to\nsubscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.", "source_dataset": "gutenberg", "source_dataset_detailed": "gutenberg - Lee and Longstreet at High Tide\n"}, {"source_document": "", "creation_year": 1942, "culture": " English\n", "content": "Produced by Richard Tonsing and the Online Distributed\nproduced from images generously made available by The\nInternet Archive)\n Identified from the Records of the United States Copyright Office\n[Illustration]\n COPYRIGHT OFFICE \u2606 THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS\n For sale by the Register of Copyrights,\n Library of Congress, Washington 25, D. C.\n_Motion Pictures, 1894\u20131912_, is a catalog of those copyrighted works\nidentified as motion pictures by Howard Lamarr Walls which were produced\nduring the pioneer period of the motion picture industry. Inasmuch as\nthis catalog includes information supplied by Mr. Walls which does not\nappear in the records of the Copyright Office, it is not considered a\npart of the regular _Catalog of Copyright Entries, Cumulative Series_.\nIt supplements, however, the two volumes in the Cumulative Series,\n_Motion Pictures, 1912\u20131939_ and _Motion Pictures, 1940\u20131949_. These\nthree volumes, together with the current issues of the _Catalog of\nCopyright Entries, Third Series, Parts 12\u201313, Motion Pictures and\nFilmstrips_, comprise an unbroken record of the copyright registration\nof motion pictures and, also, an extensive although incomplete record of\nmotion picture production in the United States through the entire\nhistory of the industry.\nThe catalog lists 8,506 works, representing approximately 6,000 titles,\nwhich were registered in the Copyright Office as photographs and\nidentified as motion pictures by Mr. Walls. In making this\nidentification, the record books in the Copyright Office were searched\nfor the years 1893 through 1913. The first such registration found is\nthe _Edison Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze, January 7, 1894_, copyright\ndate January 9, 1894, and the last is the _Feast of Belshazzar_,\ncopyright date January 23, 1913. Twenty-four motion pictures were\nregistered in Class J, photographs, between August 24, 1912, the\neffective date of the amendment to the copyright law establishing\nclasses for motion pictures, and the end of the year 1913. These\ntwenty-four motion pictures are listed in this catalog.\nFamiliarity with the individuals and organizations connected with the\nproduction of motion pictures during the pioneer period was essential to\nthe identification as motion pictures of works registered as photographs\nin the Copyright Office. Mr. Walls is uniquely fitted to make this\nselection. He is at present Curator of the Motion Picture Collection of\nthe Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Previously he was for\nseveral years on the staff of the Copyright Office and during that\nperiod was interested in the records of early motion pictures which\nexisted in the files of the Office, including the paper prints which\nwere deposited at the time of the registration of many of these motion\npictures. Later he became Curator of the Motion Picture Collection of\nthe Library of Congress and Reference Assistant in the Motion Picture\nDivision. He has had, therefore, long and intensive experience in\nworking with these early motion pictures and he is also familiar with\nthe organization of the records of the Copyright Office.\nThe preparation of the catalog for printing was principally the work of\nthe staff of the Cumulative Section of the Cataloging Division of the\nCopyright Office. Mr. Walls reviewed all entries after they were\ntranscribed from the record books and assisted in editing them by adding\nin brackets, whenever he could do so without additional research,\nexplanatory information in those cases in which the titles are not fully\nself-explanatory. Except for these bracketed phrases the information\nappearing in the entries in the catalog is that on record in the\nCopyright Office.\nIn the case of each entry the name of the copyright claimant is that\ngiven in the record book. Any information relating to renewal copyrights\nor to subsequent changes of ownership recorded in the Copyright Office\ncan be ascertained upon request and upon payment to the Register of\nCopyrights of the fee specified in the law for the conduct of a search\nof the records. In addition, information relating to renewal copyrights\ncan be secured by referring to the issue of the _Catalog of Copyright\nEntries_ covering renewal registrations for the particular class of work\nduring the renewal period.\nfullest form on record in the Copyright Office with cross-references\nfrom variant forms. Full information in regard to the content of the\nentries in the main section and in the index will be found in the\nsection, _How To Use This Catalog_, p. X.\nThe first public showing of motion pictures for a fee took place at the\nHolland Brothers\u2019 Kinetoscope Parlor, 1155 Broadway, New York City,\nApril 14, 1894. The making of motion pictures soon became a highly\ncompetitive business, and producers were eager to obtain some sort of\nprotection for their works. The copyright law at that time did not\nprovide for the registration of motion pictures as such, and was not\namended to do so until August 24, 1912. The only course open to pioneer\nproducers was to register their works as photographs and hope that the\ndesired protection had been obtained. This became the practice in the\nnew industry.\nBefore 1900, all items were recorded in sequence as they were received\nand registered (or \u201centered\u201d as the law stated prior to 1909) in the\nCopyright Office. The different types of material were distinguished\nfrom one another only by a descriptive word or phrase; i.e., photograph,\nbook, musical composition, etc. On January 1, 1900, the Copyright Office\nestablished Classes A, B, C, and D. Class D, Graphic Arts and\nMiscellaneous, included photographs. On January 1, 1901, photographs\nwere placed in a class of their own\u2014Class H. On March 4, 1909,\nphotographs were assigned to Class J and included both published and\nunpublished works. All motion pictures copyrighted as photographs from\n1894 to 1912, the period covered by this catalog, fall correspondingly\ninto these categories. They are recorded in over five hundred official\ncopyright record books, each of which contains about two thousand\nentries. To compile the catalog it was necessary to search approximately\none million entries, and to determine\u2014by title, or copyright claimant,\nor both\u2014which items recorded as photographs did, or did not, represent\nmotion pictures. The task was sizable and presented many difficulties;\nbut I hope that, with the margin for error customarily allotted even to\nthe best of compilers, I have produced an acceptable list. And, while\nDr. Luther H. Evans, Librarian of Congress, and Mr. Arthur Fisher, the\nRegister of Copyrights, have made it possible for this work to be\nproduced, it is only fair to say that the responsibility for omissions\nwhich may later be discovered is certainly mine.\nThe first problem encountered, that of identifying the work, was the\nbiggest. Then, although the information in the record books was\nacceptable in the light of requirements for copyright registration, it\nwas found all too frequently to be unsatisfactory from the standpoint of\na full description or a complete identification of the motion picture.\nLengths of films were seldom given; claimants had not always made it\nclear as to whether numbers accompanying titles stood for parts, scenes,\nreels, or production numbers; some films, copyrighted as separate\nentities, were obviously only parts of a unified subject which the\nclaimant had failed to furnish; the articles in the titles were often\nomitted; and, for the pre-1900 years, it was not always clear as to\nwhether certain titles referred to a Kineograph (thumb book), a\nMutoscope reel, or a 35mm film. There were numerous other deficiencies,\nsuch as misspelling of names or words and omission of words other than\narticles from titles.\nA complete solution to the complexities and limitations existing in the\nproject would have required motion picture research, but such research\nis beyond the scope or function of the Copyright Office, and of the\nproject for which I was employed. Hence, the record is passed along to\nyou precisely as it stands with minor additions and corrections.\nMisspellings and similar minor errors have been dealt with by\ncorrections written within brackets. In several instances, where titles\nof factual films are ambiguous as to persons, places, or things, it has\nbeen possible to draw on first-hand knowledge to enhance their meaning\nand significance. This information is also presented, within brackets,\nwith a view to increasing as much as possible the practical value of the\ncatalog. A general correlation of the films under supplied subject\nheadings was, as in the case of extensive research, considered beyond\nthe scope of the project. Such grouping has been left to those whose\nspecial interest may require it. To facilitate such further research,\nto bring them together in their significant time relationships.\nAfter an examination of the record, it appears that the earliest motion\npicture copyrighted was _Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze, January 7,\n1894_. The claimant was William Kennedy Laurie Dickson, West Orange, New\nJersey. This film, popularly known in film circles as \u201cFred Ott\u2019s\nSneeze,\u201d and famous as one of the films which launched the modern motion\npicture industry, now has added fame as the first to be registered for\ncopyright. There were only three other entries to the end of 1894. For\nsome inexplicable reason, there is a total gap from the end of 1894 to\nOctober 23, 1896, at which date the registrations substantially began\nand continued. One highly important irregularity in this connection must\nbe pointed out; there is evidence that the American Mutoscope and\nBiograph Company, in its 1902 and 1903 registrations, submitted, along\nwith current material, a considerable backlog of pictures produced from\nlate 1895 to 1902. An appreciable amount of research would have to be\ndone to clarify the wide discrepancies between the production and\ncopyright dates of this company. There is no evidence that other\nclaimants followed this practice.\nNot all motion pictures produced from 1894 to 1912 appear in the\ncopyright record. However, the overwhelming majority do\u2014representing\nnearly every important advance made in the first 18 years of the medium.\nThe record pertaining to the newsreel type of film affords some\nsurprise. The entries for these are rather profuse and important from\n1896 to 1907, after which there are practically no entries during the\nperiod under consideration. It is clear that by 1908 fictional\nentertainment had become an almost exclusive business with the industry.\nAlthough the entries in the record books of the Copyright Office do not\nindicate the exact physical nature of items submitted by claimants as\ncopyright deposits, an investigation of the Library of Congress holdings\nof this material revealed a heterogeneous collection. Claimants\nsubmitted deposits indiscriminately and variously in the following\nforms: Mutoscope reels; sample 35mm frames from every scene in a motion\npicture, in the form of positive photographic paper prints or on\ncelluloid; photographic stills or enlargements\u2014one each of\nrepresentative, but not all, scenes from a motion picture; photographs\nof the sets used in a motion picture; Kineographs (popularly known as\nthumb books or flip books); and, most important of all, complete motion\npictures printed on 35mm positive photographic paper rolls.\nAbout half of the films listed in this catalog are represented in the\nLibrary\u2019s collection of paper prints. Other films are available in other\ncollections or are likely to be located in the future in forgotten\nstorage places. An ingenious way has been found to rephotograph the\npaper prints on celluloid by the optical printing process in order that\nthey may be put to current use.\nHere is a cross section of the nonfictional film titles, selected at\nrandom from this early collection: \u201cStreet Scene, Chicago\u201d (1897);\n\u201cTroop Ships for the Philippines\u201d (1898); \u201cBurial of the Maine Victims\u201d\n(1898); \u201cAdmiral Dewey Landing at Gibraltar\u201d (1899); \u201cSharkey-Jeffries\nFight\u201d (1899); \u201cAutomobile Parade\u201d (1900); \u201cBoers Bringing in British\nPrisoners\u201d (1900); \u201cPresident McKinley Taking Oath of Office\u201d (1901);\n\u201cPresident McKinley\u2019s Funeral Cortege at Washington, D. C.\u201d (1901);\n\u201cAnna Held\u201d (1902); \u201cPrinceton and Yale Football Game\u201d (1903); \u201cOpening\nCeremonies, New York Subway\u201d (1904); \u201cSenator Mark Hanna\u201d (1904);\n\u201cInauguration of President Theodore Roosevelt\u201d (1905); \u201cScenes and\nIncidents, Russo-Japanese Peace Conference, Portsmouth, New Hampshire\u201d\n(1905); and hundreds of other similar films which bring back an almost\nforgotten era.\nThese films depict the true customs, dress, and manners of the time and\nplace; they show general world events, Presidential inaugurations;\nevents of the Spanish-American War, noted political figures and other\npersonalities, fires and disasters, sports, popular dances, and many\nother phases in the life of this period.\nChanges in techniques or styles of motion picture production cannot\naffect the importance of these films. Specialized students of the motion\npicture and drama will derive profit and pleasure from seeing the first\nattempts to tell a story on the screen, the evolution of screen syntax\nby D. W. Griffith, and the first appearances of such celebrities as Mary\nPickford, and the films listed in this catalog and preserved in the\nLibrary of Congress and elsewhere will have an even wider appeal to\ngeneral historians, sociologists, and educators who may have no interest\nin the motion picture as such.\nIt is hoped that this catalog will serve not only those seeking\ninformation regarding the copyright history and status of these films\nbut will also be of material assistance to those studying the motion\npicture as an art, as an important means of communication, as a\nhistorical record, or as an effective social force.\n How To Use This Catalog\nThis catalog consists of two parts: _Motion Pictures, 1894\u20131912_, which\nis a list of main entries arranged alphabetically under title, and a\nmotion pictures included in the main section.\nThe items which constitute each entry are given below in the order in\nwhich they appear. In general, the entry consists only of title, name of\nthe claimant of copyright, date of the beginning of the copyright term,\nand registration number. Other information is included if given in the\nrecord books. Explanatory and corrective information not available in\nthe records of the Copyright Office and supplied by the compiler, Mr.\nHoward L. Walls, always appears in brackets.\n 1. _Title._ The title is given in the form in which it appears in the\n record book. The main title is followed, as applicable, by subtitle,\n alternate title, and translated title. Cross-references from\n alternate and translated titles are included in the list.\n Information which appears in the title in the record book and which\n relates to the principal player or to the number of parts and scenes\n is given in a brief statement following the title as described\n above. Sometimes such information includes a numeral which may well\n have had originally some descriptive value but which cannot now be\n identified, either as a production number, a catalog number, or a\n number indicating the relationship of the particular film to other\n films. In many instances, the successive scenes or parts of a motion\n picture were registered separately, each registration including the\n main title and the title of the particular part. In such cases the\n main title is given, followed by other elements in the entry\n relating to the whole motion picture, and the numbers and titles of\n the separate parts are listed below the main part of the entry, each\n part of the title being followed by information relating to it\n alone.\n 2. _Name of the claimant._ This name is given as it appears in the\n record book and is immediately preceded by the copyright symbol \u00a9.\n 3. _Date._ This date includes the day, month, and year of the\n beginning of the term of copyright protection and is determined by\n different requirements in the periods separated by the date July 1,\n 1909. Prior to July 1 of that year, the date of the recording in the\n Copyright Office of the title page of a published work determined\n the beginning of the term of copyright protection. During this\n period the law also provided for the deposit of two copies of the\n work when published. Because the record of these deposits was not\n consistently kept in the record books, the information has been\n omitted from the entries in this catalog. Beginning with July 1,\n 1909, provision was made for copyright protection both of published\n and of unpublished works in some classes, among which photographs\n and, later, motion pictures were included. For published works, the\n date of the beginning of the term of copyright was determined by the\n date of publication supplied in the application; for unpublished\n works, by the deposit of one copy in the Copyright Office. These\n facts are indicated in the entries by the use of date alone for all\n published works and by the addition of the abbreviation _1c_\n immediately preceding the date for all unpublished works.\n 4. _Registration number._ Prior to January 1, 1900, all works were\n numbered in sequence as they were registered, and a new series of\n numbers was established at the beginning of each calendar year. In\n citing the number for any registration made during this period, the\n year date must, therefore, be given. To achieve brevity, however,\n the year date is not repeated in the entry in connection with the\n registration number, because the number immediately follows the full\n date in each entry. Beginning with January 1, 1900, the material\n received in the Copyright Office was divided for purposes of\n registration into classes designated by letters of the alphabet.\n Three different series of classes were used in chronological\n sequence during the next 12 years; in consequence, the registration\n numbers of motion pictures registered as photographs included in\n this catalog are preceded by class designations as follows:\n THE AWKWARD MAN; or, OH! SO CLUMSY. \u00a9 The Vitagraph Co. of America;\n CORBETT AND COURTNEY BEFORE THE KINETOGRAPH. \u00a9 Wm. K. L. Dickson;\n EDNA\u2019S IMPRISONMENT, scenes 1\u20134. \u00a9 Thomas A.

BRYAN IN THE BIOGRAPH. \u00a9 American Mutoscope & Biograph Co.;\nThis index lists the names of the claimants of copyright in the motion\npictures included in the main section. Each name is given in the fullest\nform on record in the Copyright Office with cross-references from\nvariant forms. The names are arranged alphabetically under the\ndistinctive part of each name. Under each name are listed the titles of\nthe motion pictures connected with the name, arranged, first,\nchronologically by the year date, and, second, alphabetically by title.\n Copyright Office \u2013 The Library of Congress\n The following lists of corrections\n and additions to _Motion Pictures,\n staff of the Copyright Office from\n information gathered and generously\n contributed by Miss Elizabeth\n Franklin of the Academy of Motion\n Picture Arts and Sciences during the\n course of two summers\u2019 work on the\n paper print collection of the\n Library of Congress. The corrections\n cover both typographical errors and\n variances between information on the\n paper prints and in the record books\n of the office. Mr. Howard L. Walls\n was limited to the record books in\n making his original selection. Most\n of the additions consist of films\n not readily identifiable as such\n from the record book entries, since\n before 1912 motion pictures were\n registered simply as photographs.\n Page\n 16 DISCOVERIES OF BODIES.

From the record of these rocks we know that Florida has\nbeen alternately above and below the sea many times in the geologic past.\nIn fact, the rocks visible in the park area at Florida Caverns, near\nMarianna, Florida, and in the caves were formed from the hard shells of\nanimals that lived in one of these seas. As the animals died, their\nshells accumulated on the sea bottoms, where they were covered by other\nshells and hardened into lime rock.\nThese shells, called \u201cfossils\u201d by the geologist, are remains representing\ncemeteries of the past. Along most of our coastal areas and sea bottoms\nthese shells are accumulating and forming limestone today. Such limestone\nhas formed also in the areas many miles removed from the present seas, as\nin Iowa and other middle western states, telling us where seas have been\nin the past.\n[Illustration: As visitors explore the well-lighted trails and\npassageways, they notice the icicle-like formations that hang from the\nceilings and the heavier ones that project from the floor. They study the\ncolumns that seem to help support the rock above and the small passages\nthat extend in many directions. They notice sea shells imbedded in walls\nand ceilings.]\nHow do we know that these limestones were formed in the sea? The next\ntime you go through the caves at Florida Caverns look closely at the\nwalls and you will be able to find the shells of _Scollops_ and other\nclams. These animals lived only in shallow seas. The most common shell\nthat you will notice will be many small coiled flat shells about the size\nof barley seed and flat thin disks about the size of dimes and quarters.\nThe animals that formed these shells are known as _Foraminifera_ and have\nthe fancy names of _Operculinoides_ and _Lepidocyclina_. They are one\ncelled animals (our most primitive) and are related to some of the\nparasites that cause disease. These particular animals are extinct and\nare known only from these rocks. From their association with other shells\nthey are known to have lived in shallow salt-water seas, and by means of\nthem the geologist is able to recognize this particular limestone, even\nwhen it has been taken from a well drilled many feet below the ground\nsurface, for these small shells are recognizable even when the limestone\nhas been broken into fine fragments.\nThe limestone in which the caves of Florida Caverns were carved is known\nfrom geologic studies made throughout the state to have been raised from\nthe sea by land movements after being formed and to have been extensively\neroded, following which it was again submerged under the sea and other\nlimestones deposited over the eroded surface. These limestones were\nsubsequently raised out of the sea to be eroded. Over this second eroded\nsurface a delta deposit of sand, clay and gravel was formed by streams\nthat emptied into the Gulf of Mexico.\nThe limestone that you will see in the caves is known as the Ocala\nlimestone, named from deposits near Ocala, Florida. In the region about\nthe Florida Caverns, limestones named the Suwannee limestone and the\nMarianna limestone overlie the Ocala limestone. These limestones were\nnamed for deposits recognized along the Suwannee river and at Marianna,\nFlorida. The sand, clay and gravel overlying all of these limestones are\nnot named but are believed to be the same age as deposits of the geologic\nperiod popularly known as the \u201cice age.\u201d\n[Illustration: The \u201cduck\u201d results from irregular resistance of the\nlimestone to solution by ground water. These nodular masses were more\nresistant and the less-resistant, usually softer limestone has been\nremoved from about them, leaving the form resembling a duck. Several\nstalagmites are in the background. These are younger than the \u201cduck.\u201d]\nSince emerging from the sea for the last time, this part of Florida about\nthe state park area has been undergoing changes constantly. The rocks\nhave been continuously attacked by elements of the weather, and\ndisintegrated where exposed. Running streams carry away much of these\nproducts of weathering, but the work of water under the ground is the\nmajor factor in the creation of these caves and the deposits in them.\nThis underground water, running through the pores in the limestone, has\nbeen and is now wearing away portions of the land. These water channels\nare isolated along fractures, bedding planes and other structural\nweaknesses, or along poorly consolidated rock. The water dissolves the\nlimestone and carries it out into surface streams and on to the sea, and\nas this material is carried away the rock, through which the water flowed\nto the surface, is being worn away an equal amount. The amount of this\nmaterial being carried away is illustrated at Silver Springs, one of our\nlarger springs, where each day about 450 tons of rock is carried away\ndissolved in water. When it is realized that this is only one of\nthousands of springs in Florida, you can readily see what a large amount\nof rock is being dissolved from beneath the ground and just how cavernous\nthe rock must be.\n_All forms of wildlife are protected in Florida\u2019s State Parks.

This rock is made of the mineral calcite, calcium\ncarbonate, and it is soluble in pure water under conditions of favorable\nstructure, a continuous supply of moving water and time. However, in the\nwater of Florida this limestone is readily dissolved, because the humid\nclimate and prolific vegetation contribute organic and mineral acids to\nwater and make it a highly potent solvent that is capable of dissolving\nlarge amounts of this rock.\nLimestone is as a rule jointed vertically and bedded horizontally.\nOpenings along these joints and beds provide easy avenues of travel for\nwater. The ultimate source of all of Florida\u2019s ground water is from the\nrain and precipitates from the air. As this rain water falls through the\nair it becomes charged with carbon dioxide gas which combines with water\nto form carbonic acid. On the ground humic acids from rotting vegetation\nis added. These are the common natural solvents of limestone. A good\nportion of this acid charged water soaks into the ground, and as it\ndescends through lime rock small portions of the rock are dissolved.\nHowever, relatively little solution occurs until sufficient water enters\nthe rock to fill completely all the available pores. In this portion of\nthe rock, saturated with water and bathed with weak acids, solution is\nmost active. Because of the pressure of water entering the rock, ground\nwater tends to move horizontally along bedding planes which offer the\neasiest exit. Thus, cave systems generally are developed horizontally and\none system may lie over another and they may be connected by vertical\ntubes and rooms.\n[Illustration: Weird vistas and eerie silhouettes meet the eyes of\nvisitors who explore the amazing networks of trails in Florida Caverns.\nDroplets of mineral water, dripping through the ages, formed these\nunderground caves into a natural, but highly artistic wonderland.]\nAny rain water entering the rock from the surface makes its way downward\nto fill completely all the pores of the rock at some depth. At it moves\ndownward and then into the saturated rock through pores and open spaces\nit acts as a slow solvent to increase the size of the openings and to\nconnect them to form a continuous system of channels through which\nstreams filling the cavities may run.\nAs large caverns are formed, solution cavities of irregular shape are\ngradually cut out and enlarged. Some of these may be expanded to a point\nnear the surface where surface deposits (largely sand in Florida) will\ncollapse into the cavern and a sink is formed. The larger part of\nFlorida\u2019s natural lakes, sinks, depressions and ponds are the result of\nsolution of the underlying limestone. These features range from small\npits a few feet in diameter to large depressions several miles broad.\nMany are perfectly round, others are highly irregular. Some are\ncone-shaped with rocky bottoms, some have broadly developed flat bottoms\nand are known as prairies. Still others are vertical tubes, only a few\ninches in diameter in some cases, that extend as much as one hundred feet\ndown into the limestones. These are \u201cnatural wells.\u201d\n_Florida\u2019s State Parks include miles of white sand beaches, fine streams,\nbeautiful springs, excellent fishing waters, floral displays, wooded\nravines and outstanding recreational areas. It is the Florida in which\nthe Indians hunted, fished and lived in original surroundings of great\nnatural charm and wildlife profusion ... where yet remains the memory and\nimprint of Spanish conquistadores, French crusaders and Anglo-Saxon\ncolonizers. Phenomena such as disappearing rivers, vanishing lakes,\nhistoric shrines, virgin country, strange subterranean landscapes are all\nto be seen inside the parks._\n[Illustration: \u201cFresh crisp bacon\u201d formed by water flowing originally\nfrom a crack or elongate hole and cascading down the face of the\nlimestone. The deposit formed as a small ridge that then acted as the\ncourse of subsequent water which added additional deposits. The dark\nbands contain some impurity to give a color to the ordinarily white\ncalcite.]\n Land Movements in Florida\nIf these caves, we see in the Florida Caverns Park area, were formed\nunder water, how is it possible to walk through them today? This is an\nobvious question which requires an answer. If rocks formed under marine\nwaters are exposed on the land surface today it is obvious that the land\nhas been raised out of the sea, or the sea has lowered. From geologic\nevidence it is known that Florida has been rising since late geologic\ntime. This elevation is believed to be caused by downwarping at the mouth\nof the Mississippi River, where many thousands of box car loads of\nsediment are dumped each day, accompanied by adjustments in the earth\u2019s\ncrust and the elevation of land areas surrounding the delta of the\nMississippi River.\nThen there is a second cause by which these caves are made dry. Everyone\nhas heard that ice caps the North and South poles of the earth, but few\npeople realize that, if all this ice melted, the level of the sea as it\nis known today would be higher by about 110 feet. If all polar ice\nmelted, the Chipola River at Florida Caverns, would become a salt bay,\nMarianna a seaport town, and a bay beach would be located near the park\narea. However, do not sell your present beach property too quickly since\nthis polar ice is known to be melting only a few inches a century.\n[Illustration: Well-lighted, underground trails make accessible Florida\u2019s\namazing network of underground passageways. The temperature remains at\nabout 63 degrees, F. throughout the year. In addition, natural rock\ngardens, wildlife, historical values and recreational facilities make\nFlorida Caverns one of the South\u2019s outstanding State Parks.]\nConsidering the sub-tropical climate of Florida, isn\u2019t it peculiar that\nice had so much to do in shaping our land surface? As a matter of record\nall of the surficial deposits making up the large part of the land\nsurface of Florida were created and shaped during the geologic past (one\nto ten million years ago) when ice piled up on the poles and moved down\nover lower latitudes or when this ice was being melted. In the United\nStates as this ice piled up on the North Pole and moved down over most of\nthe middle western states, the water forming this ice came from ocean\nbasins and the water in them was lowered as much as three to four hundred\nfeet. At this time much of the Gulf and Atlantic bottoms was uncovered,\nland streams cut their valleys much deeper, ground water circulated much\nmore vigorously and rocks through which it passed were dissolved faster.\nLater as this ice was melted the lower parts of stream valleys were\nfilled with salt water and the streams became sluggish and deposited\nsediment in their valleys to make their flood-plains. Ground-water\ncirculation was retarded and the bottoms of the Gulf and Atlantic were\nagain covered. This uncovering of the bottoms of the Gulf and Atlantic\nfollowed by covering constitutes a cycle. Five of these cycles have been\nrecognized in Florida, and the red sands, clay and gravel that make up\nthe surface of most of Florida represent former bottoms of the Gulf and\nAtlantic, now raised out of these seas by land movements.\nToday we are living in a period following a time the northern and\nsouthern extremes of the earth were covered by ice, and this ice is still\nmelting off of these areas.\n_In 71,000 acres of parks, valued at approximately $50,000,000, Florida\noffers the vacationer a natural wonderland he can explore. Within these\npark areas the visitor can discover for himself the \u201ctrue\u201d Florida by\ncar, along foot trails, navigating tropical rivers and streams\u2014or by\nfollowing elevated boardwalks through hauntingly beautiful swamps._\n[Illustration: Stalagmites resulting from varied origins. The center one\nwas formed from the intergrowth of several stalagmites. The deposit on\nthe left was developed as a series of flat basin-like parts, over which\nwater splashed and cascaded to the floor, the basins being inclined in\nvarious directions. The right stalagmite began as did the left one but\nthe basins were soon eliminated and the growth was made more regularly.]\nWe have seen then in the preceding discussion how caves are formed\nlargely in rocks saturated with water, and how by land movements and\nchanges of sea level the caves and pores formed in this rock are moved\nabove permanent water levels and exposed to air. It then becomes possible\nto deposit rock in the pores and caves rather than to increase their size\nby solution. As you go through the caves you will notice that the walls\nare wet and that water is oozing out of the pores of the rock.\nThis water has just passed through limestone and has dissolved parts of\nthe rock. The reader undoubtedly knows that water will dissolve a\nsubstance in large quantities and more rapidly if it is hot, and that it\ncan hold more gases to make stronger acids if it is under pressure. So,\nhaving been released from a relatively warm rock in which it was under\nsome pressure and where there was little air circulating, into a large\ncave where rapidly circulating air cools the cave and evaporates the\nwater, this water can no longer hold all the limestone it has dissolved\nand it releases part of it.\nSmall drops of water emerging from the lime rock on cave walls are\nevaporated and calcite and other rock minerals are deposited along these\nwalls. Where these drops cascade along the walls a continuous elongated\nridge is deposited. If the water oozes out in an extremely fine coating\nof water, the entire ceiling, walls and floor may be paved with calcite.\n[Illustration: These deposits combine a rather even and general flow of\nwater and possible intergrowth of the stalactites to make the thickened\ndeposit. The ground water issued more rapidly and was concentrated at one\npoint to make the long tubular deposits, the tube being made by rapid\nevaporation along the outer margins of the drops of water as they hang on\nthe stalactite before the large part of the water falls to the floor.]\nWhere individual drops collect on the cave ceilings, a thin deposit may\nbe formed on the ceiling after which the remaining water may drop to the\ncave floor where more calcite is deposited. Continuous dripping results\nin paired deposits extending down from the ceiling and up from the floor.\nThe deposit on the floor is commonly thicker and more columnar, whereas\nthat on the ceiling is thin and tapering much like an icicle. Those\nhanging from the ceiling are called _stalactites_ and those on the floor\nare _stalagmites_. Where these two deposits are joined they are known as\na _column_.\nThese cave formations are all composed of the mineral calcite, which\nforms all lime rock. If you will notice in the cave this mineral is\ncrystalline, and it is remarkable that as calcite crystallizes from the\nmany individual drops of water it is arranged always in a particular\npattern. These crystal faces reflect light and form the many unusual and\nbeautiful arrangements which you will see in a visit to the caves.\nSince early time, Florida Caverns have had interest. They were first\nmentioned in writings by Friar Barreda, who was with the first overland\nexpedition made by the Spaniards to Pensacola Bay. The following\nparagraph is in the Friar\u2019s own words, written 256 years ago:\n\u201cOn June 12 (1693) we continued northwest and after we had journeyed a\nlittle more than three leagues ... we reached an abandoned village of the\nChoctaw tribe called San Nicholas where I came to preach the holy gospel\nin the year 1674. Here we spent the night in the hollow of such a\nbeautiful and unusual rock that I can state positively that more than 200\nmen could be lodged most comfortably in it. Inside, there is a brook\nwhich gushes from the living rock.\u201d\n[Illustration: This form is the result of the irregular etching of the\nlimestone by ground water at the time the caves were formed, combined\nwith the later development of stalagmites and a pavement of calcite\n\u201cdrip-stone\u201d upon the irregular surface. Dust and small debris have been\nincorporated in the crystals of calcite which form the stalagmites.\nVisitors like to make a game of finding formations in the cave that\nresemble animals and other things. Note the wolf head to the right and\nthe Dachshund head to the left center of the photograph.]\nExperts, who know how to read stories told in the designs on Indian\npottery, state that the caves were known to the Indians of this section\nlong before the coming of the Spaniards. There is considerable evidence\nthat Indians, even prior to 1693, had been in the habit of using Florida\nCaverns and caves in the vicinity for shelter during their hunting trips\ninto the region and for refuge from their enemies. In some of the smaller\nand dry caves there have been found potsherds, or small broken pieces of\nIndian pottery. According to the archaeologist, all of the sherds so far\ndiscovered are of a late post-Columbian type. Ashes from fires, dead for\nmany years, flint arrowheads, and animal bones have also been found.\nSeveral times in history, Florida Caverns\u2014a nature-made shelter\u2014was used\nas a refuge from armed forces. During Andrew Jackson\u2019s punitive\nexpedition against the Indians in 1818, a large band of Indians escaped\nfrom his soldiers by concealing themselves within the underground caves.\nAgain, during the War Between the States, an outfit of Union soldiers en\nroute to Pensacola was resisted by a home guard unit from Marianna,\ncomposed of men too young or too old to fight in the armies of the\nConfederacy. While the battle was raging, women, children and slaves took\nrefuge in Florida Caverns.\n[Illustration: Nestled \u2019midst hundreds of pines, hickories, sweetgum and\noak trees, Florida Caverns golf course is one of the most scenic in the\nUnited States. It was laid out after the design of the famous St. Andrews\nGolf Course of Scotland.]\nA clear spring, which in reality is a subterranean river, rising out of\nthe lime rock, sends its lovely azure stream down through the park over a\nmile before it enters the Chipola River. The Chipola Natural Bridge,\nlocated in the park, is a fourth-mile long and has been restored to its\noriginal interesting geological condition with the removal of logs and\nlumber which had jammed into it in bygone days when the river was used to\nfloat them down to a mill.\nOpen the year round, Florida Caverns State Park is comparable in interest\nto Carlsbad Caverns, N. M., Mammoth Caves, Ky., and Luray Caverns, Va.\nIn addition to its geological attractions, the area in which Florida\nCaverns is located is of peculiar interest biologically. In it are found\nmany species of both plants and animals that are not expected so far\nsouth, as well as a large number of typically southern forms.\nThe State Park system of Florida has been developed as a coordinated\ngroup of Parks, each one of which stands upon its own merits and each one\npossessing as many as possible of the following values: Outstanding\nhistoric, scenic and scientific attractions. Florida Caverns is richly\nendowed with them all.\nI hope that you have found this discussion of the creation of lime rock,\nthe formation of caves under water, the elevation of these caves above\npermanent water levels and the subsequent deposition in them, of\ninterest....

The Pueblo Indian Meets The White Man 6\nBecause of my association with the beautiful Canyon of the Rito de Los\nFrijoles in Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico, and because of my\ndeep interest in this Monument, the loose ends of a story, about the\nprimitive people who made it their home, have been shaping themselves\ninto a history beginning in America long before either Spaniards or\nEnglishmen came to this country.\nThe material is based upon the work of many students who have done\nactual research in Frijoles Canyon and adjacent areas. It is a\ncombination of legendary material, observation, speculation, scientific\nfact and logic. The text in the following pages is not presented as\nabsolute and unquestionable fact in its entirety, and the author does\nnot intend that it be interpreted that way. There will be some, no\ndoubt, who, for the sake of convenience, will mutter indiscreetly about\nits content\u2014that it isn\u2019t scientific\u2014as if the book had been intended\nfor the exact scientist. Rather, it is meant for the lay reader who\nvisits the Monument area and who would like to understand some of the\ncustoms and ways of life of its ancient inhabitants. This ancient world\nof the cliff dweller of New Mexico is recreated for the visitor through\nthe firing of his imagination by an understanding of the arch\u00e6ological\nfacts revealed here.\nUntil a great amount of research is done, a more accurate account of the\narch\u00e6ology of this area will not be had. But because of the thousands of\nvisitors to Bandelier National Monument each year, and their interest in\nits ancient inhabitants, this popular narrative is presented. Throughout\nthe text are many uncommon words and names used frequently in New\nMexico. The reader will find a helpful list of these with simplified\npronunciations and meanings at the end of the book.\n A HIDDEN VALLEY IN THE NEW WORLD\n LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS\n Looking Up the Canyon From Ceremonial Cave xvi\n Bandelier National Monument and Vicinity 8\n Large Kiva.

Ruins Area\n Northern Wall of Frijoles Canyon\n [Illustration: PHOTO BY GEORGE THOMPSON LOOKING UP THE CANYON FROM\n CEREMONIAL CAVE]\n [Illustration: PHOTO BY U.S. FOREST SERVICE THE OLD NORTH TRAIL]\nIt has been some twenty odd years since I, as a child, first peered over\nthe north rim of Frijoles Canyon. This was not so long ago when one\nthinks of the hundreds of others, still alive, who passed this way\nbefore me. I do not pretend to be an ancient but the number of\nindividuals who saw the Frijoles in those days are microscopic when\ncompared with the multitudes who have seen it since. There is not\nsufficient room here to discuss those who knew the place in the early\ndays, long before my time, except to mention such personages as Adolph\nBandelier, Charles Lummis, H. P. Mera, Edgar L. Hewett, Sylvanus G.\nMorley, A. V. Kidder, Jesse Nusbaum, Kenneth Chapman and many others who\nhave distinguished themselves in the field of arch\u00e6ology or related\nfields. They all knew the place in its infancy, so to speak, and have\ncontributed their share to the story of primitive Pueblo Indians who\nlived in the Valley of the Rito de Los Frijoles in times anterior to the\ncoming of the Spanish.\nAs I remember it, there was a short-cut road into the Frijoles, little\nmore than a cow path which left the Albuquerque-Santa Fe highway just on\ntop of La Bajada Hill. It must have been fifteen miles across La Bajada\nMesa west to the Rio Grande. Over the rolling hills of mesa-land the\ngears of our car ground a good part of the way in low until the little\nsettlement of Buckman on the banks of the Rio Grande was reached. A man\nby this name, Buckman, used to cut and haul timber from the high\npotreros; he built a sawmill, and also a narrow bridge across the river\nhere. It was a rickety old bridge with planks for runners but we got\nacross. The winding, bumpy road led us up a steep climb from the Rio\nGrande to the forested land extending toward the high mountains. Once on\ntop the mesa we drove between two of many high potreros and on into\nWater Canyon where the road followed the narrow valley for a few miles.\nWe crossed a winding creek several times and drove through green\npastures until the high-walled canyon became narrow.\nPresently, the road turned to the left winding up the side of the\nmountain. Fortunately it was not muddy or we might never have made the\nsteep grade. Once on top of the plateau the road headed south and a\nlittle west in the direction of Frijoles Canyon a few miles distant. We\nwound through majestic yellow pines, pi\u00f1ons and scrubby junipers. Here\nthe road turned again and paralleled the Canyon for a few miles, up and\ndown hills, ever twisting and turning. We drove to the top of an old\ntrail which might have been used by ancient Indians some four hundred\nyears ago. I walked to the brink of the Canyon, my mother constantly\nreminding me not to go too near. The height was terrific. It must have\nbeen six hundred feet to the bottom of the gorge\u2014almost straight down.\nIt made me dizzy. I had never seen such a thing before in all my life.\nIt was to me a Hidden Valley and I wondered why any people wanted to\ncome away out here to live\u2014even prehistoric Indians. Of course, it was\nawe-inspiring but I was too young to be inspired.\nThere were saddle horses at the brink of the Canyon for folk who\ncouldn\u2019t or who were too lazy to walk down the trail. And then there\nwere benches and tables underneath the pines for picnickers who wanted\nto eat either before they began the long descent into the valley, or\nafter they returned from it. For years and years people walked or rode\nhorseback up and down the steep old trail. Perhaps some never reached\nthe bottom. Individuals came from all over the world. Some painted, some\nviewed, some fished, some wrote and some prayed to God that they might\nmake it back to the top. Others, enthralled by the grandeur of the\nCanyon, desired to cast themselves off its rim into the mystery of its\ndepth. I myself distinctly remember climbing down that old winding trail\nfrom the north rim. It seemed that we would never reach the bottom. The\ntrail was a precipitous one, zigzagging and narrow, to the valley floor\nfar below.\nAt a short distance across the narrow Rito we could see a little stone\nranch house surrounded by huge pine trees and box-elders. A woman was\nstanding on the porch probably wondering if we were to be guests for the\nnight at the famous \u201cTen Elder Ranch.\u201d But my father and I were fishing\nfor mountain trout, and, if I remember correctly, it was he who caught\nthe limit because he was the fisherman, not I. I might have been\nincluded among those unschooled people who had in their blood simply the\ndesire for \u201cpioneering\u201d and \u201croughing-it,\u201d but who understood little\nabout what they saw.\nThis excursion of ours took place when roads in New Mexico were almost\nnil. A buckboard would have been better than an automobile with high\npressure tires which blew out about twice a day. We broke an axle on the\nway home and had to spend the night on La Bajada Mesa between the Rio\nGrande and the highway in what was locally known as \u201cOld Man Pankey\u2019s\nPastures.\u201d The Valley of the Frijoles impressed me, then a little boy,\nand, I well remember the hundreds of smoke-blackened caves hewn out of\nthe soft cliffs by Indians sometime in the dim past. But I knew not the\nsignificance of these caves. I knew nothing of the story of how\nprehistoric Indians lived four hundred years ago. They were merely\nblackened holes to me occupied by a people about whom I knew little. I\nremember the ruins of the big community house. It was located across the\nlittle river from the stone ranch house. I thought it foolish for\nIndians to build houses out in the sun when there were so many shade\ntrees close to the Rito. I now believe that this first visit of my\nchildhood created within me the desire to solve for myself the questions\nthen arising in my mind concerning the Canyon. Since that time hundreds\nof famous personages have passed this way: artists, arch\u00e6ologists,\ndoctors, botanists, psychologists, statesmen, preachers, governors,\nengineers, students and romancers, each finding satisfaction in his own\nparticular line of interest.\nLife in this place two decades ago can best be described by the owner of\nthe old ranch, Mrs. Evelyn C. Frey, who has made Frijoles Canyon her\nhome for twenty odd years. She can tell some very interesting stories\nabout the early days. She knows the country and the trails, the flowers\nand the birds; and she still calls folks, who live thirty miles away,\nher neighbors. She recalls many lonely hours spent with her baby in the\nstillness of the Canyon. She remembers how the sun would go down over\nthe south cliff at twelve noon and then how the day would change toward\ncold evenings and bitter winter nights. Ofttimes a howling wind would\narise, then followed a calm, and in the morning a foot of deep snow. And\nthere was no way out of the valley except over the old north trail. She\ntells how deer pranced around in full view, unafraid. Wild turkeys\nrested upon the wall behind the old ranch place and could be seen from\nher kitchen window. But she was never afraid and said she knew how to\nuse a six-shooter if she had to. Mrs. Frey had told me many times, how,\nafter a rough and tiresome drive from Santa Fe over fire trails, all\nsupplies were packed on horses and mules and brought down to the floor\nof the Canyon.\nA heavy pack mule, once upon a time, loaded with lumber, just didn\u2019t\nmake one of the sharp turns in the trail. It dropped one hundred fifty\nfeet and went to mule heaven, bumping from first one level to another,\nlumber and all. The carcass was left for the scavengers of the air to\nfeast upon. Mrs. Frey has described how she often bundled her tiny baby\nup in blankets to protect it from the cold on bitter winter nights, and,\nbearing the child in her arms she herself had swung into the saddle at\nthe top of the old trail. The narrow path was covered with snow all the\nway down, and although she was afraid, the faithful horse had always\ncarried them safely to their home.\nThe time came when pack horses were replaced by a cable-way strung from\nthe north cliff to the floor of the Canyon. It was a thousand feet long\nand the tram-car was operated by a gasoline engine. This was the way\nsupplies were brought in for the operation of the dude ranch\u2014even the\nwinter\u2019s supply of wood. It was not until 1933 that the old trail was\nabandoned. At this time an automobile road was blasted from the side of\nthe steep cliff in the lower end of Frijoles Canyon.\nThe history, if written, might prove far more interesting to many people\nthan the prehistory. There would be some interesting tales to tell about\nfolk and their affairs, but our main concern is with the prehistory. I\ndo not think I exaggerate the situation when I say, despite a visitor\u2019s\ninterest or profession, most guests have come to Frijoles to visit the\nhundreds of ruins of homes built by the ancestors of some of our\npresent-day Pueblo Indians. The Canyon and its extensive cliff dwellings\nand pueblo ruins are well-known the world over. Neolithic people, stone\nage people with implements of bone and stone and wood, lived here in\nancient times and when they deserted their homes in the cliffs and on\nthe valley floor, they left one of the most outstanding and spectacular\nsites in the southwestern part of America to be preserved for posterity.\n The Pueblo Indian Meets the White Man\nCould there be, in the Southwest, a man or woman who has not heard\nsomething of the Spanish expeditions into the New World during the\nsixteenth century? And, narrowing it down, about Coronado\u2019s famed Seven\nCities of Cibola and how they turned out to be six instead of seven poor\nlittle pueblos of stone and mud. They are now reduced to but one called\nZu\u00f1i. Marcos de Nisa, a Franciscan friar, had led the little army of\nconquerors to nothing here except grief and disappointment in trade for\nfabulous stories about gold and silver.\nNew Mexico was a new country and besides extending the domain of His\nMajesty, King Charles, and forcing Christianity on the Indians, there\nwere many wonders that would stand investigation. Had it not been for an\nIndian who was named Bigotes by the Spaniards, the conquerors might\nnever have reached the Rio Grande during that expedition. Bigotes means\n\u201cwhiskers\u201d and his appearance must have been a sight to His Majesty\u2019s\nsoldiers when this half-clad native came strolling into their camp with\na few companions from Pecos far to the east. Unlike most of his kind,\nBigotes wore a long mustache. He had brought buffalo hides to trade to\nthe Spanish and he persuaded them to visit his country. It was on August\n29, 1540, that the little band pushed out under the guidance of Bigotes.\nOn September 7 of that year they reached the Province of Tiguex, which\nwas between the present towns of Albuquerque and Bernalillo.\nThere were twelve Indian villages on the banks of the Rio Grande within\na distance of some fifteen miles or so. The Rio Grande was described by\nthe Spanish, at that time, as large and mighty in a spacious valley two\nleagues wide. Although the valley was broad and fertile, the Spanish\ndescription was certainly an over-estimation. Two leagues equalled five\nor six miles. They also said that the river froze so hard that laden\nanimals and carts could cross over it. Tiguex was the winter camp of the\nentire Spanish expedition. It was here that Coronado and his band of\nweary and disappointed explorers spent that miserable and\nnever-to-be-forgotten winter of 1540-1541. Glowing accounts of how\nIndians lived were told by the romantic Spanish chroniclers. Still, they\nfound only a poor simple people living by the soil and a little\nhunting\u2014but no gold.\nTiguex was not the only province along the river. There were others\nwhose people had the same ways and peculiar customs as the people at the\nTiguex villages. One of these provinces was that of Quirex. It has been\ndetermined that this was the district where the Keres language is spoken\ntoday by five very primitive Indian Pueblos. They are Cochiti, Santo\nDomingo, San Felipe, Santa Ana and Sia. Moved by an indomitable spirit\nand determination, a small band of soldiers pushed far north from\nTiguex, past the Keres-speaking villages where another province was\ndiscovered on the upper Rio Grande. It was reported that two very fine\nvillages were to be seen. According to some students these were in the\nvicinity of the present Tewa-speaking village of San Juan. The entire\nIndian population moved out at the sight of the Spanish. They retreated\ninto the mountains where they said they had four very strong villages in\na rough country where it was impossible for the Spanish to follow on\nhorseback. Had they followed these people they would, no doubt, have\nfound almost inaccessible Indian trails. Instead, they returned to\nTiguex and left this northern province in peace. Little did the Spanish\nrealize what extensive villages they might have seen in the rough\nmountains mentioned by the Indians.\nIndians also spoke of villages on rivers flowing into the Rio Grande.\nCould these villages have been on the banks of the Rio Chama or were\nthey on the Pajarito Plateau? They likely were in the Pajarito region\nand could have been the same villages mentioned by the Indians living\nnear San Juan. But the towns of the Pajarito remained unexplored,\nunplundered and unstripped of what little they had. How fortunate were\nthese people to have escaped the attentions of the Spanish with their\nshining armor, pointed lances and firearms. Otherwise, these poor\nIndians might have found themselves without adequate clothing and food\nfor the approaching winter of 1541-1542 as did the Indians at Tiguex.\nBut the passing of that second uneventful winter by disheartened and\nspirit-broken Spanish soldiers ended a chapter which was never to be\nforgotten by the other little pueblo dwellers. In the spring of 1542,\nthe remnants of the Spanish were gathered together and the return to\nMexico was begun. This must have been a day of rejoicing for the Indians\nat Tiguex. They had experienced a great deal. Murder, insincerity on the\npart of the Spanish, and violation of their living standards were just a\nfew of their trials.\nLife went on in the pueblos. Slowly but surely the Indians reorganized.\nSummers and winters passed and the Indians tilled their fields of corn\nfor two generations before the Spanish came again. This next expedition\nup the Rio Grande in 1581 was that of Captain Francisco Sanchez\nChamuscado with nine soldiers. This combined treasure-hunt and\nmissionary expedition ended in tragedy. Chamuscado died before he\nreturned to Mexico, and two padres, who accompanied the little party,\nwere murdered by the Indians at Tiguex. So elated were the Indians with\ntheir success that they drew pictures of the killings.\n [Illustration: BANDELIER NAT\u2019L MONUMENT & VICINITY]\nDreams of conquest and fabulous empires caused the launching of still\nanother expedition into New Mexico in 1583. It was headed by Antonio de\nEspejo. Espejo, too, passed northward from the villages of the Province\nof Tiguex which had been visited by Coronado some forty years before and\nby Chamuscado in 1581. This little handful went north to a place called\nCachiti. This was one of the pueblos of the Keres-speaking group\nmentioned by Coronado. People who were peaceful came from other pueblos\nand tried to persuade the Spanish to go with them. They told stories of\nmost of the houses being three stories high. The Spanish named this\nplace Los Confiados because the people were not disturbed. But where was\nLos Confiados? It has never been determined.\nIt would be a guess to say where these other Indians came from. It has\nbeen suggested that they might have come from villages on the Jemez\nRiver when they heard of the arrival of the Spanish. There is still\nanother explanation which is also conjectural but possible. These people\ncould have come from villages in the mountains. Arch\u00e6ologists and\nhistorians are unable to give us the exact extent of the Keres villages\nin those days although careful study and research suggest that only\nseven remained extant at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Yet, who can\nsay that towns were not still being occupied back in the hills? On the\nforested mesa tops and in the deep water-worn canyons northwest of\nCachiti, the Indian Pueblo known today as Cochiti, are hundreds of\nIndian villages now in ruins. They were occupied, hundreds of years ago,\nby Indians who were probably speaking the Keres language like the folks\nat Cochiti, Santo Domingo, San Felipe, Santa Ana and Sia. These people\nhave told some interesting tales, legends mostly, about how all their\npresent villages came to be: about their wanderings, about their Gods\nand about their troubles with Indians who spoke different languages.\nWhy was it that Espejo\u2019s chroniclers did not leave us more information\nabout the town of Los Confiados and its people? Was it not important?\nThey told us about Zu\u00f1i and its Seven Cities, about the Tiguex villages\nand Cochiti. Coronado\u2019s little group, some forty years before, had\nvisited the Province of Hemes, now Jemez, whose people spoke yet another\nlanguage, the Towa. And history tells us that Espejo made a two-day\nvisit to the town of Los Confiados in 1583. This ended his contact with\nthe Indians at Cochiti and other Keres-speaking villages. Could it be\nthat Espejo\u2019s soldiers looked back up into those forbidden and forested\nhills against a high range of snow-covered mountains northwest of\nCochiti and decided that they had seen enough of the Indian? Or were\nthey told that they would have to leave their horses behind and go afoot\nif they wanted to visit the villages on streams running into the Rio\nGrande? The thought of wearing heavy armor might not have been too\nfascinating. And if these people were from villages in the mountains,\nwhat was their motive in attempting to lead the Spanish there? Was it a\ntrap? Did they have some other motive in mind, or was their mission one\nof peaceful intent? Arch\u00e6ologists now tell us that it probably has been\ncenturies since Keres-speaking people lived in these mountains northwest\nof Cochiti.\nIf one had sufficient imaginative ability he might work up a\nhypothetical case of what could possibly have taken place during this\nFebruary of 1583. To get at the basis of our story and the things to be\ntalked about hypothesis seems to be our only recourse. Nothing seems\nexact when dealing with early New Mexican history, but this hypothesis\ncould be as correct, possibly, as some of the accounts given by the\nSpanish possessed of romanticism. But how close were the explorers to\nHidden Valley, the like of which they would never again be able to see!\nThey stayed clear of the mountains and kept to the valleys. In all of\ntheir travels and wanderings, the Spanish kept out of the watershed\nbetween the Jemez Mountain Range and the Rio Grande Valley. It is today\nknown as the Pajarito (little bird) Plateau. The Ca\u00f1ada de Cochiti is\nits southern boundary, not far from the pueblo of Cochiti. The Rio\nGrande bounds it on the east, the Rio Chama on the north and the Jemez\nMountains on the west. The entire plateau is made up of deposits of soft\nvolcanic ash, known as tuff, and deposits of black basalt. Geologists\ntell us that all this happened an inconceivably long time ago\u2014three\nmillion years, let us say, in geological times known as the Pliocene and\nPleistocene periods.\nToday the Pajarito Plateau is a profusion of high potreros (narrow mesas\n), and deep canyons cut by streams and arroyos which carry off seasonal\nrains. Some of the canyons have sheer vertical cliffs of volcanic ash,\nhundreds of feet high in places, and this ash is soft enough to be\ncarved and hewn into various shapes and forms. The cliffs are even soft\nenough for the wind to carve what appear to be statues which stand out\nas exceptional works of nature. The mesa tops are beautiful. They are\ncovered with thick growths of pine and juniper, pi\u00f1on and scrub oak. A\nprofusion of flowers dot the landscape during the summer months.\nIt was the Pajarito Plateau that both Coronado and Espejo failed to\nplunder, not because of any lack of desire on their part, perhaps, but\nbecause it was a forbidden land to them and was marked by defying cliff\nboundaries which rose to terrific heights. Could one say that the\nSpanish did not wonder what these hills possessed when they heard about\nvillages on streams which ran into the Rio Grande? And no doubt, if\nthese peaceful people, whom the Spanish followed to Los Confiados, were\nof the Keres nation\u2014and they likely were\u2014then they knew every valley,\nstream, trail and water hole in the Pajarito country. Espejo dispatched\nsome of his men to accompany these Indians. Where were they led? Did\nthey go up into the sandy foothills below the Jemez Mountains and its\nfinger-like plateaus or did they penetrate almost inaccessible territory\nnorthwest of Cochiti? Or did they march straight north up the almost\ninaccessible White Rock Canyon of the Rio Grande? They were gone two\ndays from the pueblo of Cochiti. Where did they go? Where was this town\nof Los Confiados to which Espejo was invited and about which he gave us\nno fact?\nThe Keres-speaking people are possessed with legends of having been\ndriven from the Pajarito by a race of \u201cdwarfs\u201d at some time in the\nremote past. But no one is sure that this race of \u201cdwarfs\u201d was not the\nTewa-speaking people from the northern part of the Pajarito region who\ndescended into Frijoles Canyon and drove the Keres from their Hidden\nValley long before the Spanish came to America. Nor can one be certain\nthat Keres people were not still living in Frijoles Canyon with the\nTewas during Coronado\u2019s time in 1540 or even some forty years later\nduring Espejo\u2019s time. Could one go so far as to suggest that Keres\ngroups still remembered how their ancestors perhaps had been driven from\ntheir homes by \u201cthe little strong people\u201d and that now they could have a\nwell-earned revenge by directing the attentions of the Spanish toward\nthe Valley of the Frijoles?\nHad Espejo been gullible enough, and had the spirit of adventure been\nstrong enough; had it been summer and not February, and had these\npeaceful Indians been Keres bent on revenge against the Tewas, his\nsoldiers might have been led northwest up the Ca\u00f1ada de Cochiti. After\nan hour or so the trail would have become so difficult that the Indian\nmethod of travel would have been an issue. Horses would have been left\nbehind and the little party would have ascended to the potrero tops on\nfoot; over snow-covered precipitous trails; up and down canyon walls and\ndeep into ancient Keres land.\nIt would have been no \u201cpicnic\u201d even on foot. So rough is the country it\nis even doubted that the wily Navaho used these trails as has been so\noften suggested. The Keres might have picked a more direct route; up the\nbanks of the Rio Grande to the mouth of Capulin Canyon, over high\npotreros, following a dim rough trail which skirted the Rio Grande for\nseveral miles then north to the mesa bordering Frijoles Canyon. And it\nis quite possible that the Spanish could have gone horseback deep into\nKeres territory, up Capulin Canyon to La Cueva Pintada, the Painted\nCave. The cave gets its name from the many pictographs on its walls.\nAround it are the ruins of many houses built against the cliff at the\ntop of the talus slope. Some of the Indian legends have it that the\nPainted Cave was one of six towns occupied when their ancestors were\ndriven from the Valley of the Frijoles.\nTravel from the Painted Cave on into Keres land probably would have been\non foot. Up the rough Capulin Canyon [** Error: possible line-wrapped\nglossary phrase]for an hour\u2019s march, over snow-covered potrero tops,\nthey would have passed the ruins of innumerable villages. There they\nmight have rested and drunk the icy water from a running creek during\nthis cold month of February. And from there they made their way up to\nthe potrero tops again, winding and twisting, half walking and half\nclimbing and stopping somewhere, in a cave perhaps, to spend the night.\nAnd then they marched on to the pueblo of the Stone Lions, now bleak and\ndesolate and worn by time. The pueblo of the Stone Lions, according to\nthe Cochitenos, was the first village built and occupied by the\nKeres-speaking people after they were driven from the Valley of the\nFrijoles. The village is known as Yapashi which means \u201csacred\nenclosure.\u201d\nOnly a half-mile away is the Stone Lions Shrine. Carved out of native\ntuff are the life-size images of two mountain lions and around them is\nan enclosure\u2014a low wall of blocks of volcanic tuff. It is said that even\nthe Zu\u00f1i Indians made pilgrimages to this shrine because they believed\nthis to be the entrance to Shipapolima, the underworld from which their\nancestors emerged. It is important even today to the Cochitenos who\nvisit it frequently and leave bits of their ceremonial paraphernalia.\nMoving along slowly, Espejo\u2019s little party would have trudged up the\nslopes to the high potrero tops again and then across the steep-walled\nCanyon del Alamo. They would have had a long march to Frijoles over\ntrails known only to Indians. No, this could hardly have happened. The\nSpanish might never have survived.\nHad these Keres-led Spanish peered into the Frijoles\u2014known to Indians as\nTyuonyi\u2014this Hidden Valley in the New World, they would have seen the\nunbelievable. They would have looked into a valley six hundred feet deep\nand several hundred feet across. The opposite or north side was a sheer\nperpendicular cliff of pinkish rock. There were houses terraced high in\nthe air, three or four stories at the base of the cliff. There were cave\nopenings in the cliff, over some of the houses, which led out to open\nporches built of poles and brush. Small houses of stone and mud extended\nup and down the north wall of the Canyon almost as far as the human eye\ncould see. People were walking around, microscopic in size because of\nthe distance, climbing up and down tiny ladders to and from the tops of\ntheir houses. They were clothed in cotton cloth, hides and furs.\nIn the center of the valley, seemingly equidistant from both sides, was\na huge circular house comprised of many small rooms, one on top of\nanother, with tiny ladders extending from the ground to the roofs.\nIndians were going in and out of small roof openings. Their house was a\nveritable fort of primitive style. Four hundred rooms, or more, were\nbuilt in the form of a circle. The structure had an opening or hallway\nthrough one side which led to an inner court or plaza. A sentry was\nstationed inside the entrance which was a high, thick wall built in the\nshape of a semi-circle with a narrow opening. A lone Indian, or maybe\ntwo, with bow and arrow in hand, might have been seen carrying a deer\ndown a narrow trail. Queer looking creatures were these Indians with\nlong stringy hair tied down by a band around their foreheads. They wore\nmoccasins of deer skin on their feet. Kilts covered their thighs. They\ncould have been a short muscular sort of people much the same as our\nmodern pueblo dwellers. But they were known as the \u201cpygmies\u201d or \u201cthe\nlittle strong people.\u201d\n [Illustration: COURTESY MUSEUM OF NEW MEXICO THE PAINTED CAVE]\n [Illustration: COURTESY MUSEUM OF NEW MEXICO STONE LIONS OF COCHITI]\nSmoke emerged from tiny openings in the roofs. Occasionally an Indian\nwoman would appear, black hair stringing and her body draped with a\nmanta of cotton cloth or animal skins. The bark of a dog or the gobble\nof a turkey which the Indians had domesticated might have broken the\nsilence. The waters of the little river far below could be heard rolling\nover and onward toward the Rio Grande. The occasional thud of a boulder\nwas heard as it bumped down stream.\nOnly one side of the valley was occupied\u2014the north side. The south side\nwas covered with trees, bare now because winter was here. The south wall\nof the Canyon was not as conducive to habitation as the north because it\nwas worn down at a sharp angle. There were no vertical cliffs from which\nto carve out caves and no talus slopes on which to build little houses\nof stone and mud. No sun directed its rays toward the south cliff. The\nsnow lay there all winter and helped cut it down at a sharp angle from\ntop to bottom. The north side was sunny and dry\u2014a perfect place for\nhabitation.\nThere were not many people here during these last years of the sixteenth\ncentury. Great numbers had gone: but where, and why? A few cronies could\nhave been seen crouching against stone houses at the base of the cliff,\nbasking in the afternoon sun. A woman or two could have been grinding\ncorn on flat stone slabs inside a cliff house, keeping time to a weird\nmonotonous chant sung by old men as they pounded drums. Things were\nhanging from the ends of roof poles protruding through the front walls\nof houses\u2014perhaps a piece of highly prized venison. House tops were\nstrewn with corncobs. A weather-beaten corn field had spent itself.\nThis was the valley known to the Keres as \u201cTyuonyi.\u201d It was the place\nwhere their people had lived only a few generations before. It was a\nvalley over which most any group of primitive people would fight and was\na place where the water supply was constant except in times of intense\ndrought. Tyuonyi is a Keres word which signifies a treaty or contract\nand was so-called because of a treaty made with Tewa-speaking people\nyears before, marking it as the boundary between Keres and Tewa\nterritory. But who was to occupy Tyuonyi, the Hidden Valley and the most\nideal spot on all the Pajarito Plateau? It seems that the Tewas (the\nlittle strong people) were the ones who occupied it until the very last.\nThis was perhaps the reason why the Keres became envious and that is why\nto this day they retain a feeling of criticism for the Tewa-speaking\npeople. Legend has it that relations between the two groups in\nprehistoric times were normally unfriendly.\nNo Spanish expedition ever reached Hidden Valley, or at least,\narch\u00e6ologists have never found anything to indicate such a visit. And I\nrepeat, the Spanish expeditions clung to the low valleys and kept away\nfrom the mountains. Tyuonyi then, is our subject. The Spanish never\nvisited it and if they ever heard of its extensive settlement by Pueblo\nIndians direct mention was never made of it. It was a Hidden Valley in\nthe New World occupied before recorded history began in America. And\ntoday its ruins are mellowed with age. It has yet to give up all its\nsecrets about the cliff dweller who hewed three hundred caves from its\nnorth cliff with stone axes and knives, and built over twice as many\nsmall houses at its base. They constructed five community villages on\nits floor, and raised corn and beans and squash and pumpkins. And in so\ndoing, these prehistoric pueblo and cave dwellers, and I might say\nhistoric, too, left in Hidden Valley so much material evidence about the\nway they lived that in 1916 the entire area, including some of the\nancient Keres land to the south, was created a National Monument. Later,\na detached section of ancient Tewa territory, a few miles to the north,\nwas added to the area. It is known today as Bandelier National Monument\nand is comprised of some 27,000 acres.\nThe thousands of interested visitors, who go to Bandelier every year to\nprowl through the ruined homes located in the Valley of the Frijoles,\nspend an hour or so turning the clock back to Neolithic times when man\nhad only bone, stone and wood tools with which to work. They relax in\nHidden Valley\u2014and in imagination try to reconstruct the story connected\nwith these ruins which hold so closely the secrets of the past.\nCould one be so bold as to say that the Moslem Invasion of Spain in the\neighth century A.D. took place after the first occupation of the Rio\nGrande Valley by prehistoric Indians? Arch\u00e6ologists, who tell us stories\nbased on the remains of things they have found, broken pottery mostly,\nsay that Indians might have known the Rio Grande before this time. We\nbelieve that they have occupied it continuously since about the eleventh\ncentury A.D.\nDrought seems to have always been one of the main controlling factors in\nthe migrations of Southwestern Indians. The study of tree-rings tells us\nthis. By matching ring patterns formed by the annual growth of certain\nkinds of trees, pines chiefly, arch\u00e6ologists are able to determine the\nyears in which age-old timbers were cut. Those they are interested in\nare the ones used by prehistoric Indians long years ago for building\nroofs on their houses. So naturally, if an Indian had cut a tree down\nwith a stone axe and laid it across the walls of his house, then the\nyear that the tree was cut would correspond to the approximate time his\nhouse was built and occupied. Indians did not cut timbers until they\nwere ready to use them. Felling timbers with crude stone axes was\nsomewhat of a chore. Old beams from houses show that long periods of\ndrought reigned in the Southwest. It is thought that these dry spells\ncaused Indian families to leave their homes and seek new lands for\nsettlement and cultivation.\nSuch a condition seems to have existed in the entire San Juan area of\nnorthwestern New Mexico, northeastern Arizona and southwestern Colorado.\nThe greatest of the large centers of Indian population, which may have\nnumbered hundreds or even thousands of people, were the towns of Chaco\nCanyon in northwestern New Mexico and the Mesa Verde cliff dwellings in\nsouthwestern Colorado. Many of these towns, it seems, were abandoned\nwhen the great drought was at its height between 1276-1299, a period of\ntwenty-three years. And so we find shifts in population. It is believed\nthat some of these shifts were toward the Valley of the Rio Grande.\nBefore this time small individual groups or migrant bands took to\nwandering. Other Indians could have remained even after the time of the\ntwenty-three year drought period, dreading to leave their homes as we\nwould ours today. No, there was no great exodus of population. The\npeople from the great towns in the west did not move out all at one time\nand completely abandon their homes and desiccated lands. They moved out\nin small bands, or even families. In some way, a traveler might have\nreported high mountain ranges, water and fertile lands to the east\u2014the\nnext best to the places they knew as home which they and their ancestors\nhad occupied for hundreds of years.\nIt is possible that even in the 1000\u2019s A.D., small groups pushed out\nover dry desert wastes, following sandy arroyo beds\u2014thought of water\never paramount. They were people struggling again for existence. Some\nlikely stopped along the way and built temporary homes. They broke\npottery vessels which they had brought along. The arch\u00e6ologist found\nsome of the broken pieces nine hundred years later to help tell the\nstory. Whether these migrant bands had a goal or not is questionable but\nthe Valley of the Rio Grande was finally reached and scant evidence of\nthese early people has been found. More and more Indians moved out of\nthe San Juan area and drifted in a southeasterly direction. Some clung\nto the valleys, others took to the mountains, but all settled in the\ngeneral locality where we find most of our colorful and picturesque\nIndian Pueblos so well-known the world over\u2014northern New Mexico.\nIt is evident that by constant roaming, and penetrating unknown and\nfascinating country, some of these primitive Indians stumbled into the\ndeep valleys and upon the high forested mesa tops of the Pajarito\nPlateau, about twenty miles west of the present city of Santa Fe. The\nspot on which Santa Fe is located was then nothing but arid mesa land\nand low foothills ascending to the Sangre de Cristo Range of Mountains.\nFour things were paramount in the minds of these primitive people. They\nwere water, food, protective shelter and clothing. These were the things\nthe Pajarito offered. Anyone journeying through the deep canyons and\nover the high mesa tops today could easily see why prehistoric Indians\nsettled here.\nFor centuries the wind pounded tiny sharp particles against cliff\nsurfaces. It whipped up close to the ground and hollowed out shallow\ncaves. Very likely, these places were not large enough for Indians to\ncrawl in out of the weather but the cliff composition was so soft that\nthese natural caves could easily be made larger. A crude stone of basalt\nwith a sharp edge made a perfect hand axe. Indian men hacked out caves\nlarge enough for a little family group to enter. Rain and cold created\nthe necessity for heat. Drills of wood were used to start fires in these\ncrude cave dwellings. Fires made them warm\u2014suffocatingly so. There was\nno way for the smoke to escape except through a wide front opening. This\nlack of ventilation created a very serious problem for the early cave\ndweller on the Pajarito Plateau.\nThere were other Indians who preferred to build their homes on the high\nmesas during these early times. Adobe was used almost exclusively to\nbuild the low walls of rooms. Some bedded small stones into the walls\nbefore they were dry. This helped to hold them together. Others\npreferred to use larger stone, picked up at random, in building their\nhouse walls. The adobe huts were undoubtedly unsatisfactory because of\ntheir low resistance to weather. Since older styles of pottery have been\nfound in the ruins of these houses, it is logical to suppose that\nIndians migrating onto the Pajarito built adobe houses first. Later they\ndug themselves out homes in the cliffs which gave them greater\nprotection from the weather and from any invaders.\nIn this wilderness a mule deer could have fed in a little valley or\ndrunk from a creek. This would mean food for the entire family or group\nif a crude arrow would hit its mark. Small razor-sharp fleshers of\nchalcedony or basalt were used to remove the hide from the carcass. The\nhide could be used for making clothing or moccasins. Some of the smaller\nbones might have been used as drills and awls until better ones could be\nobtained. A flock of wild turkeys would have solved this problem. Turkey\nbones made excellent awls. Just what the people used for arrow points\nduring these early times is questionable. Maybe they brought them along\nfrom the west. They could have used chipped chalcedony or basalt which\nwas readily found, and quite common in this area. An occasional nodule\nof black volcanic glass, called obsidian, washed down the creek and was\nfound bedded in its soft sandy bottom. Obsidian might have been more\npopular during later times as the early dweller in this country may not\nhave discovered the ledges of black glass immediately upon his arrival.\nSuch could have been life on the Pajarito Plateau eight hundred years\nago.\nMore groups of people came in. Hand-hewn caves could have dotted the\nsoft workable walls of every canyon which would support human life. The\nwell-known canyon of today, the Frijoles, was one such place. The lower\npart of the valley formed a sort of a bulb for about two miles. Its\nsheer cliffs on the north side rose to terrific heights. And throughout\nthe countless years, as boulders and dust fell from the cliffs, a talus\nslope or base had formed. A little river, the Rito de Los Frijoles, ran\nfor seventeen miles from its source in the high mountains to the west\nand emptied into the Rio Grande. This Canyon was the best in the entire\nPajarito\u2014the most coveted of all habitable places. The water supply was\napparently constant and the valley was broad and open at the lower end,\nmost suitable for agriculture. The floor was densely covered with\ngrowths of scrub oak, pi\u00f1on and pine. This was all that primitive groups\nneeded for successful living. And so we find that some of these\nwandering Indians from a world a hundred miles to the west, which was to\nbecome a thing of the past, penetrated the Valley of the Frijoles over\neight hundred years ago. But Frijoles Canyon was not the only place\noccupied. There were other canyons nearby. There was plenty of room for\nall. But was there enough water in these other canyons?\nIndian families cut their crude shelters deep enough for occupation by\nseveral individuals. Caves were uncomfortable, but certainly better than\nno shelter at all. This was a strange sort of stone which nature had\nprovided. It was very poor to build with, thought the Indian. It was\nsoft and bulky. But years of living would eventually solve the problem.\nWhy worry about it! In time necessity would produce some means of\nshelter more satisfactory. Later on, more people moved into the area.\nThese people occupied adjacent canyons and mesas as well as Frijoles.\nDuring many years population increased and the dwellers on the Pajarito\nbecame settled in their locality.\nThere is no way of telling how many Indians lived in the Valley of the\nFrijoles during very early times\u2014close to water and well protected.\nIndians could sit at the openings of their cave homes above the talus\nslope and see for great distances up and down the Canyon. And it was\nsafe. No jealous enemy lurking above could roll a boulder down on them.\nTheir cave was their protection. But caves were not adequate as homes.\nFires could not be built inside without smoking out its occupants.\nSomething better had to replace them. This new soft rock certainly was\nnot suitable for building walls or at least these simple valley folk did\nnot know how to use it. Crude mud huts were erected at the base of the\ncliff at the same time that caves were occupied as home sites. Mud was\nall they could find for building walls. It took lots of water to make\nmud and then it was so soft and crumbly that the little walls cracked\nand fell when they dried out.\nSoon it was found that by picking up small stones and packing them into\nthe soft mud as temper the walls would stand longer. Larger rocks and\nless mud made better walls and saved a lot of toil and unnecessary\nlabor. There were many rocks to be picked up at random. Walls were\nraised high enough for the Indian to stand upright inside the rooms.\nSharp stone axes of basalt were used to fell small trees which were laid\nover the tops of walls for the support of the roofs. The blunt ends of\nthe timbers were inserted in holes gouged out of the cliff. Brush and\ngrass were placed over them; thick mud coats were smeared over the top.\nHoles were cut in the roofs. Fires were built and the smoke could escape\nthrough these holes. How much better this than a cave! These tiny rooms\nwere stuffy and smoky inside but not as unpleasant as a cave room. An\nIndian would soon suffocate inside a cave. During the rainy seasons the\nroofs leaked and great quantities of mud were stirred up and spread over\nthe top and smoothed down flat. The women could always find more when\nthat washed off. In time weeds and wild grasses took root in these dirt\nroofs.\nBut somewhere, somehow, not at Tyuonyi perhaps, but in some nearby\nvalley or on some high mesa top at one of a hundred colony sites, Indian\nneighbors found that still larger chunks of tuff could be used for\nbuilding blocks. This would save much labor. So much mud in a wall would\nnot be necessary. It is possible that this use of larger building stones\nwas not a matter of independent origin at any one of many primitive\nvillages on the high mesas and in the deep canyons of the Pajarito.\nIndians, after years and years of living, simply came into the use of\nlarger building blocks by the trial and error method. They served the\npurpose better. A dry spell or so, when it did not rain, might have made\nit necessary to transport more and more water in urns from water holes\nor nearby streams. This was women\u2019s work and hard work too. And more\nstone and less mud made stronger walls for houses anyway. Some of the\nstone was so soft that it could be shaped into blocks to fit into the\nwalls. These blocks did not lay absolutely flat because their surfaces\nwere irregular. Small stones were forced between the cracks and when the\nmud mortar dried the walls were solid. This practice went on for years\nand years. Indians experimented with all the materials at their\ndisposal. They could not send an order to the Gods for building\nmaterials.\nEverywhere on the Pajarito are seen the remains of homes belonging to\nthis period of occupation. There are hundreds of them\u2014small family\nhouses, in deep canyons or in a forest on high mesa tops. Debris has\nfilled them up and today they look like piles of rock. Building blocks\nare strewn all over the surface. Most of the blocks had been picked up\nat random after they had been carved by nature. Others were square or\nrectangular, showing that they had been fashioned by Indian hands.\nThe Indians who lived in the Valley of the Frijoles communicated with\nthe other groups who lived in deep canyons to the south and to the\nnorth. They visited each other and even traded back and forth. Little\ncolonies were formed when one, two, three or four families lived\ntogether in a house with several rooms. But the time was to come when\nthis living all over the country would stop; people would come together\nto live in communities. And the little colony sites would be abandoned\nforever for the arch\u00e6ologist to discover centuries later.\nA touchy subject is that of linguistics. It is a tricky one. But\nstudents know that five different languages are spoken among the Pueblo\nIndians of New Mexico today. They are: Tiwa, Tewa, Towa, Keres, and\nZu\u00f1ian. To be on the safe side, one should not touch too heavily upon\nlanguages spoken by Indians, especially in a writing of this kind. But\nlanguages and dialects do play an important part in our story. When\nthose early people drifted from Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde toward the\nRio Grande, they spoke a language. But, it is unknown. Students have\nideas, but are reluctant to advance opinions based on the ruins they\nexcavate or the artifacts they discover. But, two groups of Indians\nspeaking different languages drifted onto the Pajarito. People speaking\ndifferent languages have never gotten along well together even from the\nTower of Babel until the present time.\nIt has been mentioned before that Keres-speaking Indians have a legend\nthat long years ago a treaty or contract was made between their\nancestors and Tewa-speaking people. It is said that certain loosely\ndefined ranges of territory were to belong to each of the two groups.\nThe meeting place or the place where the treaty was made was called\n\u201cTyuonyi.\u201d \u201cTyuonyi\u201d means \u201cplace of treaty.\u201d Thus the dividing line\nbetween Tewa and Keres lands became sharply defined by what is now known\nas \u201cFrijoles Canyon.\u201d But how long was such a treaty to last among\nprimitive people? All the lands to the south of Frijoles Canyon were\nsupposedly Keres and those to the north were Tewa. After this treaty was\nmade, Indians probably spread out on each side of the Canyon like the\nparting of the waters of the Red Sea. Small house sites dotted the mesas\nand canyons on both sides. But still, members of both groups could\npossibly have lived here together. Legend hints at this.\nAs time went on more houses sprang up at the base of the north cliff and\ncrude pueblos were erected on the floor of the Canyon. Kivas or\nceremonial chambers were dug out of the valley floor and lined with\nwalls of rock. Indians gathered cobble stone because they might not have\nknown how to cut blocks during these early times with which to lay\nmasonry walls. They gathered thousands of them and built their kiva\nwalls eight or ten feet thick. This was their attempt to utilize the\npieces of crudely shaped felsite or volcanic ash. They laid huge timbers\nfifteen or more inches in diameter across the walls of their large\nunderground chambers. Then smaller poles of pine were cut and laid on\ntop of the large vigas. Splittings were hacked from down trees. Pine,\ncottonwood, juniper, pi\u00f1on\u2014anything that would split easily with crude\nstone implements\u2014were used for the next roof course. Then brush and\ngrass and mud were put on top. The roofs must have been two or more feet\nthick but little did the Indians realize that the tremendous weight\nmight crack the big timbers after they dried out. How ingenious were\nthese Indians in their simple way!\nMany a moon passed. Many houses were built. Jealousy might have arisen\nbetween these two groups of Indians. Who was to raise corn on this or\nthat little patch of fertile ground? Who should have a right to hunt\ndeer and turkey in the Valley of the Frijoles? How could Keres-speaking\npeople go to Tewa kivas or how could Tewas go to Keres kivas? Trouble\nreigned over the entire plateau and most of it was possibly in the\nValley of the Frijoles. Was it ever decided which group should live in\nHidden Valley when it was given the name Tyuonyi?\nJealousy could have arisen over pottery. When the Frijoles area was\nfirst occupied clay deposits were discovered in arroyos and along river\nbanks. Indian women began moulding pottery with local clays. They\ndiscovered mineral pigments. They used paints from wild plants which\nfired the black designs in fast color in the vessels. The color would\nnever come out. But slowly and surely the women began to depart from the\ntechniques which they and their ancestors had previously used. Out of\nthese techniques new styles of pottery were developed by using local\nmaterials. These white wares with black designs became thick and coarse\nas time went on and probably decreased in popularity as far as\nusefulness was concerned.\nThe Keres-speaking people had kin far to the south of the Pajarito\nPlateau. And these people were ingenious. Sometime in the thirteenth\ncentury, it seems, Indians living in the Little Colorado River district\nof what is now eastern Arizona and western New Mexico, were making a\nstyle of red pottery with black designs. This pottery was apparently\nvery popular and spread by trade to the Rio Grande Valley. Indians in\nthis same region eventually learned to produce a glaze paint by using\nlead-manganese ore. This ware also spread to the Rio Grande and glaze\npaint was used in decorating pottery from about 1350 A.D. to the time of\nthe Pueblo Rebellion in 1680. It is thought that shortly after its\ninception and perhaps by 1400 A.D. this red pottery spread by trade to\nTyuonyi.\nThe Keres living here might have brought this red ware in from their\nsouthern relatives living below the Pajarito Plateau. On the other hand,\nit is possible that they might not have lived in the Canyon before the\ntime of the glaze pottery. The most plausible explanation seems to be\nthat the people to the south brought the materials to their kin in the\nFrijoles. These materials were then transformed into the beautiful new\nhard red ware to catch the eye of the Tewa-speaking people who likely\nwere modeling inferior white wares with black designs. However, there is\na remote possibility that this glaze ware was never manufactured in\nFrijoles Canyon and this possibility brings up the question as to\nwhether or not the ware was used as a wedge to gain entrance into\nTyuonyi. The folk who were living here, either Tewa or Keres, or it\ncould have been both, were making an inferior type of black-on-white\npottery with local materials. It was inferior because it was so porous.\nSo, the Tewa-speaking people might have readily accepted this red ware\nin trade from the Keres. And it seems this trading might have been\ncarried on for a half-century or thereabout. No one is sure. At this\nparticular time there seems to have been a definite decrease in the\nmanufacture or trading of glaze pottery.\nSomething very drastic must have taken place. Could it be that there was\njust not enough room in the beautiful Frijoles for two groups of people\nwho spoke different languages? It was easily a prize spot. It was a\ngreen valley\u2014a perfect place to live and the water supply was constant.\nIt might have been the envy of Indians for many miles around. There was\nnot this constant water supply either to the north or to the south. Some\ngroups living on the high mesas might even have depended on open basins\nhollowed out of soft rock to catch the rain water. Great jealousy could\nhave arisen between individuals or even groups. And one might safely\nguess that love affairs were broken up between Tewa maidens and Keres\nboys or vice versa. And who can say with certainty that the Tyuonyi was\nnot the earliest known home of the Keres-speaking people in this\nvicinity? Or that it was not the Tewas from the north who did the\nencroaching and forced their way into the Valley of the Frijoles and\nlived and traded pottery with the Keres?\nBy the time of the fifteenth century, there were many of the Indians\nliving to the north of Tyuonyi. Little house sites were being abandoned.\nPeople were drawing closer together to live in larger communities.\nSurely, the soft volcanic ash from the cliffs was being fashioned into\nbuilding blocks with stone axes. Some were square, some were\nrectangular\u2014long heavy four-sided blocks. It had taken Indians years and\nyears, possibly, to learn that this soft stone could be quarried and\nthen shaped. These blocks were definitely better and single thickness\ncoursed masonry walls were in vogue by this time. This was the highest\ntype of prehistoric pueblo architecture on the Pajarito Plateau.\nThis was most likely the period in which the terraced communal apartment\nhouses were developed and erected. There were centers of population from\nthis time on. There were no more small family houses. Indians built\nhouses with several hundred rooms, at least two, and, in some cases,\nthree stories high. What was the reason? Was it for defense purposes or\nwas it just a normal outgrowth of the discovery of the fashioned block\ntechnique? There were several main villages occupied by the\nTewa-speaking people to the north. They were all built in defensible\npositions: on a knoll, a high mesa top overlooking the entire\nsurrounding country, or in a valley away from the cliffs from which\nheavy objects could be thrown down by enemies. These four villages were\nPotsui\u2019i, Sankawi, Navawi and Tshirege. Potsui\u2019i was located in a deep\nvalley on a knoll. It was known as \u201cgap where the water sinks.\u201d Sankawi\nwas \u201cgap of the sharp round cactus.\u201d It was built high on a mesa top in\na defensible position. A trail was worn in the soft rock by thousands of\nmoccasined feet going and coming from the pueblo. Another of their\nvillages, Navawi, was so-called because of a pitfall gap or game trap.\nGame coming from either direction on the trail was caught in a deep pit.\nTshirege was \u201cHouse of the Bird People.\u201d It was the largest pueblo on\nthe Pajarito and had extensive villages built at the base of the cliff.\nThe numbers of Indians who lived at these sites during these times\ncannot be estimated though all four villages were large. It would appear\nthat nothing but Tewas lived here. But there also lived their kin and\nkind in Frijoles Canyon.\nKeres people were living to the south of Frijoles\u2014in large pueblos too.\nThey had been living in this south country for years at Yapashi, \u201cpueblo\nof the Stone Lions,\u201d and at Haatze, \u201cHouse of the Earth People.\u201d These\nwere communal apartment houses also but the Keres population on the\nPajarito probably was not as great as that of the Tewas in those days.\nNobody but Keres lived here to the south of Tyuonyi.\nBut certainly some groups held on at Tyuonyi. Who can say what happened\nhalf a millenium ago? Likely, the Tewas in Frijoles were few. They could\nhave been outnumbered by the Keres people who might have refused to\nleave their Tyuonyi. Runners could have been dispatched across trails to\nthe north to the big villages for help. War chiefs held council.\nWarriors were called into action and could have streaked out over\nage-old trails. Hideous looking creatures with flying black hair, bow\nand arrow and war club in hand, went whooping and yelling to the Tyuonyi\nand entered the Canyon at half a dozen places over the north cliff. Two\ngroups of Indians speaking different languages simply could not live in\nthe same valley, farm the same fields, live in the same caves and drink\nthe same water. This was the last of the Keres. They could not hold\ntheir own because they were outnumbered and out-fought by \u201cthe little\nstrong people.\u201d They were driven off and the Valley of the Frijoles was\nTewa from then on.\nSo these beaten Indians pushed south to move in with their kin at the\npueblo of the Stone Lions. Whether they ever went back to Tyuonyi and\nattempted another stand against \u201cthe little strong people\u201d is not known.\nIt has been legendarily hinted that a race of \u201cdwarfs\u201d again attacked\nthem at the pueblo of the Stone Lions, slaughtering many and driving off\nthe rest. But we know of no race of \u201cdwarfs\u201d in the Southwest during\neither prehistoric or historic times. The poor Keres! They were beaten\nat every turn. But they knew it and moved on, occupying first one place\nand then another, moving in for awhile with other kin and kind. The\nfarther away from Tyuonyi, the better!\n [Illustration: COURTESY MUSEUM OF NEW MEXICO RUINS OF LONG HOUSE]\n [Illustration: COURTESY MUSEUM OF NEW MEXICO A PART OF LONG HOUSE\n RUINS]\nHaatze, or \u201cHouse of the Earth People\u201d was their next stop but not for\nlong. They lived here with their kind and then moved on, down to the\nvillage of Cuapa only to be attacked again by \u201cthe little strong\npeople.\u201d Great numbers were slaughtered, so the legends go, and the\nremainder driven off and pursued almost to the present town of Santo\nDomingo. Legend has it that one group went off by themselves and formed\nthe pueblos of Cochiti and Santo Domingo. Another group, it is said,\nclimbed up a high rock and took refuge there from their attackers. The\nrock is known as the \u201cPotrero Viejo\u201d and here they built a village. One\nSan Felipe legend tells us this: nearly all the people at Cuapa were\nslain, except a woman with a parrot who hid in a metate and a boy who\nhid in a store-room. These two moved to the Tiwa-speaking village of\nSandia and got a cold reception so they went east to live with the\nTanos, where the woman gave birth to five children. Things were made so\nmiserable for them here that they left and moved to the Rio Grande and\neventually went to San Felipe. That is why we have the pueblo of San\nFelipe today. These people still know the Pajarito as their ancestral\nhome and it is not an uncommon thing for them to organize a communal\nhunt to the homes of their ancestors or trudge to the Shrine of the\nStone Lions and paint the noses of the life-size fetiches or sprinkle a\nlittle sacred meal\u2014deep in ancient Keres land.\n Building in the Great Period\nTime has a peculiar way of curing all ills. The Keres had been driven\nfrom the Tyuonyi by the \u201clittle strong people\u201d and possibly did not make\nfurther attempt to re-occupy this Valley of the Frijoles. They were\ncontented to stay in the broad Valley of the Rio Grande where the water\nsupply was constant and where their enemies did not care to go. The\nboundary line was set. And even the hostile Tewas had probably\nexperienced enough of war and trouble.\nTyuonyi, the Hidden Valley, might have been like an oasis in the desert.\nWho can say that there was sufficient water in the canyons and on the\nmesas to the north\u2014that water holes did not go dry and that the Tewas\ndid not have to depend upon waters from the heavens to make their corn\ngrow? And who can say that the waters of El Rito de Los Frijoles dried\nup? One can only suppose. But judging by climatic conditions as they are\ntoday, Frijoles Canyon was one of the main sources of water on the\nPajarito. Since water was a controlling factor in the lives of these\npeople, what primitive group of Indians would not fight over the right\nto live in a well-watered valley\u2014a green and beautiful valley\u2014where\nadequate shelter was afforded by the vertical walls of a high north\ncliff? Certain things hint that little time passed before Tewa-speaking\ngroups penetrated the Valley of the Frijoles again and in larger numbers\nthan before. Slowly and surely they trickled in a few at a time. Over a\nperiod of years the infiltration was heavy. Deep trails were worn in the\nsoft rock ledges by the passing over of thousands of moccasined feet\ngoing to and from the northern villages some ten miles distant. The\nsteam of hatred between the jealous groups could have cooled off but\nprobably never completely. Toward the close of the fifteenth century\nprimitive Tewa farmers, it seems, had again settled in Frijoles Canyon.\n [Illustration: Building house]\nThey went to work in earnest this time, building houses; not with mud\nwalls which would wash down when it rained, but with walls of stone,\nwhich type of construction their predecessors had begun. Some of the\ncaves occupied by the earlier people could have eroded away while others\ncould have been re-hewn by these later occupants. Who knows? Crumbling\nremains of old talus houses might have been leveled off at the base of\nthe cliff and new homes built over them. Indian men carved the heavy\nstones into square and rectangular blocks with stone axes. The stones\nlay almost flat and the masons did not have to be too careful in their\nfashioning because small pieces of rock hammered tight in the joints\nwould hold the blocks steady. These walls were laid on footings of\nsmooth-worn river pebbles. Block after block was carved and laid into\nstructures seven feet high. Indian women carried water from the little\nriver in ollas on the tops of their heads and trudged day after day up\nthe steep slopes to the cliff. They gathered clay, perhaps not from\nFrijoles Canyon, because it was hard to find. They might have traveled\nmiles for enough to apply a thin coating of wash over the stone walls of\ntheir homes.\nIndian men labored with stone axes to fell the trunks of pines which\nthey used in building roofs to their houses. They gouged holes out of\nthe soft cliff to insert the ends of roof beams and sealed them in\ntightly with mud mortar. Across these vigas they laid small poles. Many\nmiles were covered to obtain long slender canes and cat-tail stems from\nthe muddy low banks of the Rio Grande for the next roof layer. Then pine\nneedles and brush supplied the next coat. Something leafy had to hold\nthe thick mud coats which were smoothed flat over the top. Sometimes\nIndian houses had doors in the front walls and sometimes they did not.\nIt all depended upon the wish of the individual builder. Most of the\nhouses had two-pole ladders of pine. Rungs were lashed down tight with\nwillows, pliable reeds or even strings of rawhide or rope made from the\nyucca fiber. By means of ladders the Indian could climb to his roof-top\nand go down through a small hatchway or opening. This gave added\nprotection against hostile groups. In any one of many cavate or house\nrooms was a fireplace. In the ceiling above was an opening for the\nescape of the smoke. Cliff dwellings were smoky places regardless of the\ntype or style.\nTime developed the terraced community apartment house for the\nprehistoric Pueblo Indian in the cliff as well as in the open flats on\nthe floor of the Canyon. Second stories, it seems, came quite late in\nthe evolution of house types at Frijoles. Narrow mud walls of such poor\nquality as were built in earlier times at Tyuonyi would never have held\ntwo stories but the new walls of fashioned rock would hold them because\nthey were more stable. It stands to reason that when stone and mortar\nwere laid into a wall, the process of drying out transformed the wall\ninto a unit. This process reminds me of an expression I remember from my\nfreshman days in college, that: \u201cPre-Cambrian rocks are homogeneous in\ntheir heterogeneity,\u201d and it is certainly true that stone walls built by\nour prehistoric friends of the sixteenth century could enjoy the same\ncomment. Floors to these houses were plastered with fine adobe mortar.\nThe rough surfaces of walls were plastered over too, from floor to roof\ntimbers. And the cliff dweller was lucky if no water got inside his\nhouse. The secret was to keep them dry. It might not have been an\nuncommon sight to have witnessed the mudding of roofs by Indian women of\nsixteenth century Tyuonyi. After a good rain they could have taken\nadvantage of water caught in pottery vessels which had been set outside\nthe houses. This would have saved the women many a weary step to water\nand return.\n [Illustration: Roofing a house]\nOne story was not sufficient so up, up, up went the houses to two and\nthree stories. The cliff formed the back walls of the rooms\u2014then Mr.\nPrehistoric Indian had only three walls to lay instead of four. Walls of\nstone, ten and twelve inches thick, would hold the weight of one or two\nadditional stories and especially when they leaned against the steady\ncliff. But additional rooms meant more poles, more cane, brush and mud.\nWhen second and third story rooms were added the smoke from fires in\nrooms below escaped through a front opening. There was no way for the\nsmoke to escape through the upper rooms and the cliff dweller was smart\nenough not to cut a hole in the floor and let the smoke into his house\nabove. And, too, second and third story rooms likely were much safer\nthan first story rooms. Ladders could be pulled up to the roofs. Who\nknows that these Tewas were not thinking of revengeful Keres people to\nthe south?\nIn some cases caves were hewn and used independently of the talus houses\nto the front but certainly it was impossible to stay inside while large\nfires were burning. The poor cliff dweller would have suffocated. Many\nattempts were made to ventilate caves by boring smoke holes above the\ndoorways. But it was impossible to ventilate a cave successfully. Not\nmuch of a draft was created. Indians attempted to ventilate their cave\nhomes by cutting as many as three holes through the soft cliff and then\nplastering the holes on the inside to facilitate the passage of the\nsmoke. They met with little success.\nFires were kindled inside and when smoke filled the room the Indian\neither had to go outside or into his talus house. I once had an\nexperience with fires in caves. Undoubtedly, the Indian of long ago\nexperienced the same as I. When a fire was kindled the smoke circled\naround and filled the chamber. The vents did not work. Smoke hovered\ndown to the height of the door and went out at that point leaving a\ndefinite line of demarkation around the cave wall. The Indian plastered\nthe wall underneath this smoke line so that his house would not be so\nfilthy and so that he could crouch down and lean his shoulders against\nit without getting soot all over his back. I have seen cave walls\nexhibiting as many as thirteen thin plaster coats. Never let it be said\nthat caves were popular places in which to live while large fires were\nburning inside. Perhaps our prehistoric friend knew that if he built a\nfire inside his cave the walls would warm up. Then hours later, after\nmost of the smoke had gone out, he could return and be quite comfortable\nwithout suffocating. And he, no doubt, would have rolled down a deer\nskin or matting of corn shucks over the opening to keep out the cold\nduring the winter months.\nThe majority of the caves at Tyuonyi were connected with the talus\nhouses to the front. Caves entered from second-story rooms were very\npopular and likely were used, for the most part, as ante-chambers and\nnot as independent dwellings. They were excellent for storage purposes\nand if the Indian wanted to live he had to hold food over from one\nseason to the next. Covering a period of a little more than a hundred\nyears, let us say, the Indians of Frijoles Canyon cut over three hundred\ncave rooms in the north cliff. Some were, used independently of the\nhouses to the front but most of them were not. Caves were hewn before\nhouses were built, and likely, a great number of them were cut after the\ntalus houses were erected against the cliff. They built just as many\nhouses as caves, if not more. Houses extended as far as four rows of\nrooms out from the cliff and they were terraced up as high as three\nstories. On top of them were open porches which we call \u201cramadas\u201d today.\nThey were mere shelters with four corner poles and a few cross pieces of\njuniper or pine with brush and leaves over the top. What delight some\nold cronies might have had basking in the sun during some hot summer\nafternoon!\nThis was the valley of the cliff dweller, the Ancient Tewa more than\nlikely, who built houses and cut caves for almost two miles up and down\nthe north cliff of Frijoles Canyon. Here he could see for great\ndistances\u2014he could look up and he could look down. He could hear the\nwater rippling in the Rito below and he could live in true Indian\nfashion. But these villages were not built in a day or a year. It took\nmany years. Although there are the ruins of enough houses and caves\nalong the north wall to have housed two thousand primitive Indians, no\nmore than a few hundred ever lived here at one time. There simply wasn\u2019t\nland enough to farm, or game enough to supply food for a greater number.\nIt would seem that Tyuonyi never had a static occupation but an ever\nmoving one.\nThe cliff dwellers at Frijoles, like their kin to the north, knew that\nthe only safe method of living was in communities. So they erected what\nis known today as the \u201cLong House.\u201d One section of the north cliff was\nalmost vertical and its base sloped gently down to the waters of the\nlittle river. This must have been the concentration of the cliff homes.\nRooms were built side by side for over seven hundred feet. There were\nfew cave rooms here to crawl back into and out of the weather. These\npeople must have learned by experience how uncomfortable caves were,\nbecause they stuck to houses with stone walls and roofs of poles and\nbrush and grass and mud. And they built these homes solid against the\ncliff and even carved recesses in the cliff so that the ends of the\nbuilding stones would fit perfectly. Then the walls would not slip. The\nLong House was not very far from water\u2014fifty yards. This was just a step\nfor the women.\nSome of the dwellers carved and painted pictures on the back walls of\ntheir houses or even in the caves which had barely enough room for three\nor four people to occupy. Call it writing if you like. It likely was\n\u201cdoodling.\u201d They had no written language. They were forced to record\nwhat they thought and what they believed or had seen on the walls of\ntheir houses or in the designs of their pottery. Birds were the most\ncommon design. A mountain sheep was occasionally drawn, or a squirrel,\nor a rabbit; perhaps a bear or a katsina\u2014a supernatural being. They\nmight have tried to depict their ancestors emerging from the darkness\nand climbing up a high pole from the underworld of Sipapu. The awanyu or\n\u201cplumed serpent\u201d was quite common. It was the guardian spirit of\nsprings. In one cave there was a drawing of a horse and certainly this\nwas not an ancient drawing for the Spanish brought the horse to New\nMexico. Some wandering Tewa could have seen the Spanish on horseback\u2014on\ncreatures which Indians thought devoured people. It might have been that\nother Tewa-speaking people from around the pueblo of San Juan, far to\nthe north, described a horse by pictograph, when they hurried into the\nmountain homes of their kin after seeing the Spanish in 1540. Or it\nmight have been drawn by some visitor after the evacuation of the\nIndians. It could even have been someone\u2019s joke.\nAbout a quarter-mile from the cliff dwellings, and where the Canyon\nbecomes narrow, is a deep natural cave. It is eighty feet across and its\nopening faces the valley one hundred fifty feet above the waters of the\nRito. One prehistoric group lived here for a time. They were certainly\nsecluded. Hand holds were gouged from the soft cliffs with sharp pointed\nrocks and here in this, now called \u201cCeremonial Cave,\u201d Indians built\nseventeen first-story rooms and several second-story rooms around the\nback. They excavated a kiva or ceremonial chamber to the front of the\ncave. Think of the task these Indians had when they carted water and\npoles and sticks and perhaps stones up the side of the cliff. Tons of\nrock were required to build these houses and the ceremonial chamber.\nThis little group built their kiva twelve feet in diameter. It was a\ncircular affair dug to a depth of nine feet and lined with a wall of\nstone which was plastered on the inside. The floor was of a special\nkind. It was hard, black and shiny. It had been polished with a smooth\nstone like the ones the Indian women use today to polish their black\npottery. Only this floor was made of blood\u2014animal blood. The Indians\ncarefully saved the blood from animals which they killed and then mixed\nit with fine silt and soot from the fire and smeared it over their kiva\nfloor in thin layers. When the blood coagulated the plaster hardened and\nthen it was polished by rubbing a smooth stone over it in backward and\nforward motion. This must have been an important room to have had such\nan elaborately made floor. But kivas in prehistoric times may have been\nmore important than they are today.\nIn the floor were six small holes in a straight line. While the plaster\nwas still wet small pieces of oak or some other tough pliable wood was\nbent in loops and the ends of each piece were pushed down into the soft\nmud plaster. Then these holes, or round depressions were made around the\nloops leaving them exposed. These were directly below a horizontal pole\nsuspended from the ceiling. This was a loom. By an arrangement of long\nstraight sticks these ingenious Indians devised a method of weaving.\nSince it is thought that in years gone by women and children were not\nallowed in the kivas to break up the complacency of a man\u2019s ceremony, we\nmight suppose that some old man sat here and ran a shuttle through warp\ncords of cotton strung vertically from roof poles to floor loops. Here\nhe carried on weaving of a ceremonial nature with cotton or animal hair\nwhile the smoke from a ceremonial fire in the fireplace circled around\nmaking the kiva a very unpleasant place to be despite an elaborate\nsystem of ventilation.\nThese \u201chigh-up\u201d cave dwellers had their houses built like the ones at\nMesa Verde, completely sheltered by the overhanging cave roof. To the\nside of the dwellings, situated near the back wall of the cave, was a\nturkey pen of little cleanliness. When I discovered this pen hundreds of\nyears later, the floor was covered with human feces, turkey and rodent\ndroppings. They had all lived here in times anterior to the coming of\nthe Spaniards\u2014Indians, turkeys and rodents. The Indian hauled his water\nand food from the valley below. He secluded himself from the bulk of the\nIndian population at Tyuonyi. The question will always be, why? Of\ncourse, there was a small pueblo on the other side of the Canyon on a\nlittle knoll across the river but this might have been built, occupied\nand abandoned before Indians ever occupied the big cave as a place of\nresidence.\nAnd then, there were Indians who preferred to live on the floor of the\nCanyon in pueblos\u2014terraced community apartment houses. Several hundred\nyards below the concentration of the cliff dwellings and in the lower\nend of the Tyuonyi they built such an apartment house. Little is known\nabout it because it has never been excavated. Broken pieces of pottery,\nthe most important tool of the arch\u00e6ologist, are found strewn over its\nruins today. Its walls are down now and its rooms are almost completely\nfilled in with debris. This particular group of Indians preferred to\nhave their dwelling close to water and they erected it with stone and\nmud mortar. This is all that is known of this isolated settlement.\nIt is quite possible that the most popular dwelling places in Frijoles\nCanyon were the dwellings at the Long House, so well protected by the\nsheer vertical cliff wall. These could have been over-crowded. Indians\nmight have cared little about living in other sections of the cliff. It\nmight have been that some of the cliff dwellers had experienced terrible\nslides when hundreds of tons of loose rock and boulders came tumbling\ndown on their little houses, crushing them like pasteboard boxes and\nburying the occupants alive. All the man-power in the northern part of\nthe Pajarito Plateau could never have rescued their kin who might have\nbeen caught in these cave homes. Those rocks had rolled from the top to\nstay and there they remain today. One wonders what stories those buried\ncaves hold\u2014if, by chance, the skeletons of the occupants are still\nthere. Indians perhaps have died scratching at the boulders which\ncovered the entrances to their caves or tearing their hair and clutching\ntheir throats as they suffocated and fell extended on the hard plaster\nfloors in their rooms. Those caves have never been opened.\nIt is easy to see that the valley floor could have been more popular as\na dwelling place than sections of the cliff more susceptible to slides\nthan the Long House. A part of the main population built and lived in a\nlarge terraced community apartment house known as \u201cPuwige\u201d or \u201cpueblo\nwhere the women scraped the bottoms of the pottery vessels clean.\u201d This\nis now the famous ruin known the world over. It has been featured in the\n_National Geographic Magazine_ and many other publications.\nPuwige never existed during the very early occupation of the Canyon. Its\ninitial wall stones were not laid until the beginning of the Great\nPeriod. Any Indian family might have erected a few rooms near the little\nriver\u2014close to water. Then another family came along and built a few\nmore rooms. A son took on a wife and the entire family helped to build\nhis house, since house-building was a community proposition. Indian men\nwent to the slopes where boulders had rolled down and broke them with\nheavy stones and fashioned the pieces into uneven building blocks. This\nwas no small job. Walls were laid in mud mixed by the small brown hands\nof Indian women. Poles were cut and laid across the walls, then\nsplittings and cane and brush were laid over the tops and sealed with\nthick coats of mud. Thick coats of crude plaster were spread over the\ninside of walls and over floors. These Indians had little clay, none for\nwalls anyway, without hauling it in on their backs, so, they poured hot\nashes into the mud to make it stick. Hot ashes formed a sort of lime.\nCoronado, in 1540, found the Indians at Tiguex making a mortar and\nplaster in this manner. Slabs of basalt were brought in and set edgewise\nin the rooms as fireplaces. This was the home of the newlyweds\u2014built\nright next to the groom\u2019s father\u2019s house. The young bride could have\ncome from the Long House to live at Puwige, the community house, with\nher husband\u2019s family.\n [Illustration: FEDERAL ART PROJECT, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE. CUT\n COURTESY MUSEUM OF NEW MEXICO ARTIST\u2019S RESTORATION OF PUWIGE]\n [Illustration: COURTESY NAT\u2019L. PARK SERVICE AERIAL VIEW OF PUWIGE\n RESTORED]\nThe place on which Puwige was erected was so situated that the Indians\nhad to make walls with sharp turns to follow the contour of the land.\nThis must have been a popular place to live for as time went on more and\nmore rooms were added. Indians evidently preferred this to the\nvulnerable cliffs. It was not all planned and executed at one time. Some\nsecond-story rooms were added and then porches of poles and brush were\nbuilt. Additions of rooms continued until Puwige was shaped in the form\nof a crescent with the open part facing the little river which was only\na few feet away. Indians lived here for untold years. Something\nhappened. I know not what. It seems that they closed the gap by building\nthree rows of rooms. It was no more a crescent but a circle of rooms\nbuilt around a large plaza or inner court. Rooms were built in rows,\nseven deep on the east side of the circle and three on the west side.\nThere were about three hundred rooms on the ground floor and many second\nand third-story rooms\u2014four hundred in all, more or less. The place was\nturned into a veritable fort. These people were cunning. They cut seven\nrooms out through the east side and formed a narrow passageway through\nwhich everyone had to pass in order to enter his home. They went from\nthe outside of the pueblo through this narrow passage, dodging\nobstructions, until they reached the huge inner court. And then they\nascended to their respective dwellings by means of small ladders,\npulling them to their roof-tops during times of danger. Leave it to the\nTewas, \u201cthe little strong people,\u201d to find ways and means of protecting\nthemselves from lurking danger.\nI was once told a story by some San Ildefonso Indians about this Puwige\nhallway. Guarding the hallway was a half-circle barricade of stone and\nmud. It was several feet thick and both ends joined the walls of the\nmain building. Through this circular wall was a small opening. The wall\nmust have stood six or eight feet high to have been effective. Now the\nTewas contend that at one time, long ago, a sentry was stationed day and\nnight inside the circle. When Puwige was attacked the alarm was given\nand a huge boulder was rolled in front of the opening. This was to slow\ndown the attackers. If they were fortunate enough to get by the boulder\nthen it was intended that they stumble over a slab of basalt set\nedgewise in the passageway. It must have stood a foot or more in the\nair. If the attackers got by the stone without losing balance, then they\nencountered numerous wooden posts bedded upright in the dirt floor of\nthe long narrow passage. How confusing and prohibitive! Entrance to\nPuwige was almost impossible unless \u201cthe little strong people\u201d desired\nit. For the villager, an Indian woman with a water jar on her head,\nmoving along slowly, entrance was easy, but for the enemy\u2014no. Warriors\nstood on housetops, high in the air, and shot sharp-pointed arrows at\nenemies. They threw rocks and pottery vessels. They fought with\nclubs\u2014anything they could get their hands on. Puwige was not easy to\npenetrate.\nWas this Puwige occupied by any particular group or were the people of\nthe cliff houses allowed to scramble down and hurry to the inside for\nprotection? Was it a fort for the entire community or just for the\npeople who lived here? The cliff homes were being lived in at the same\ntime as Puwige and might have been more effective as defense units.\nThere was only one side to protect in the cliff homes\u2014the front. And who\nwere the attackers: Navaho, Keres or other groups? Legend has it that\nthe Navaho plundered the pueblos for years and years and history tells\nus so. They stole the hard-earned stores of food from the pueblos and\nran off with the women and children whom they made slaves. But it isn\u2019t\nlikely that the Navaho, on foot during the days of Puwige, cared much\nabout penetrating the mountain homes. It would have been a chore to\ncarry the loot back with them. The Navajo likely did not relish the idea\nof coming over the high range of mountains from the west for a few pots\nof beans and corn. Would it not be more likely that the so-called\n\u201clittle strong people\u201d might have feared attacks during the night by the\nKeres to the south who had been driven from their Canyon homes? Tyuonyi\nwas \u201cthe oasis of the Pajarito\u201d and the Tewas did not intend to be\ndriven from their fertile valley. Some lurking band could have crept\nover the south cliff when all was quiet\u2014while Tewas were resting\npeacefully below. And the attackers were quiet too, with their\nmoccasined feet, like the mountain lion which creeps upon a fawn. A\nfalling rock or the crackling of a dead branch would be a dead\ngive-away. This was not to happen to \u201cthe little strong people.\u201d\n [Illustration: COURTESY MUSEUM OF NEW MEXICO CEREMONIAL CAVE]\n [Illustration: COURTESY MUSEUM OF NEW MEXICO KIVA IN CEREMONIAL\n CAVE]\n [Illustration: Raising the ladders]\nIn 1540 the Spanish explorers passed the Keres province and moved\nnorthward, it would appear, near the present site of San Juan Pueblo.\nThe entire Indian population fled to the mountains, as you will recall,\nwhere they said they had four very strong villages. It is entirely\npossible that some of these people from the north pushed deep into the\nmountain country and on to the Valley of the Frijoles where the Spanish\ncould not go on horseback. It was a Hidden Valley. If this had been\ntrue, if these northern people had moved into Tyuonyi with their kith\nand kin and had told about how the Spanish stormed pueblos and shot\ncannon at other Indians and readily conquered the inhabitants, \u201cthe\nlittle strong people\u201d might have had incentive to fortify their Puwige\nagainst the undesirable attentions of the conquerors. Or it might have\nbeen some visitor from the Valley of the Rio Grande who told about\ndepredations at Tiguex. But would a Keres warn a Tewa? We must not\noverlook the fact that it would have been possible for friendly\nrelations to have existed between the rival groups of people at the time\nof the Spanish Conquest. They could have lived close together and traded\npottery and other articles back and forth. One might go so far as to say\nthat they could have lived at Tyuonyi together a few years prior to its\nabandonment. But taking all these things into consideration it was\nlikely the Keres whom the Tewas fortified themselves against, and from\nwhom they had probably experienced hostile visits. So they fortified\ntheir Puwige and drew up their ladders to the roof-tops in defiance. And\nthe people in the cliffs also drew up their ladders.\nWithin the inner court of this big community house were three kivas.\nThese deep underground ceremonial chambers lined with rock walls were\nbuilt adjacent to the rooms on the north side. Puwige was large. It was\nmore than two hundred seventy-five feet across and the tiers of rooms\nformed a wide band around the outside of the circular court. Why the\nIndians erected three kivas so close together is uncertain unless it was\nto have more room in the plaza. It is possible that the kivas were\nerected first, outside of the village, and as the pueblo grew the three\nlittle ceremonial chambers were entirely enclosed within it. But why\nthree kivas inside Puwige? Indians had their reasons. These three\nceremonial chambers were small. They were not more than twelve or\nfifteen feet in diameter. The hard plaster floors were seven or eight\nfeet below the surface of the ground. Their roofs were of poles laid\nacross the stone walls with brush and grass and mud for a covering.\nSmall combination hatchways and smoke vents were cut in the roofs and\nladders were put down to the floors as a means of getting in and out.\nThese chambers were likely society kivas of which there were several in\nevery Indian village. Or we might compare them with club rooms in our\nown society. They were places where the elders met in council, or where\nthey came to spend an hour or so, perhaps a week, visiting with their\nspiritual fathers. Kivas were places where policy was discussed and\ndecided upon\u2014or a kiva might have been a place where a group of hunters\ngathered before going on a hunt to pray that their hunt would be\nsuccessful. We will never know what went on in the secret chambers at\nTyuonyi, or as a matter of fact, in any other prehistoric kiva.\nAnd speaking of kivas or ceremonial chambers, some groups preferred to\nhave theirs in the cliffs, hewn out like the smoky cave rooms but\ngenerally larger. And the kivas, like the cave rooms, were plastered\nhalf-way up the walls whenever they became smoked. This happened quite\noften if fires were kept burning.\nThe greatest period of occupation of Hidden Valley must have begun\nsometime during the fifteenth century. It was to last about a hundred\nyears. With the beginning of this Great Period, the period in which\nPuwige and all of the talus houses were most likely built and occupied,\nthere certainly must have been some social or ceremonial organization\nsimilar to that in the modern pueblos. There were likely two moieties.\nThe dual system where every person in the village belonged to one of two\nkivas\u2014either Turquoise or Squash, or, Winter or Summer respectively.\nPresumably a baby born in the winter belonged to the Turquoise kiva. If\nit was a patrilineal society then the individual might have belonged to\nthe same kiva as his father. Who knows but that it was a matter of\npersonal choice? Each kiva, Turquoise or Squash, had a ruler or cacique\nwhose word was absolute. He was the father of the village to whom\nvillagers looked for guidance and his appointment was for life. The\nmoieties were under the spiritual guidance of the two town chiefs who\nwere responsible for the welfare of the people. An important office was\nthat of cacique. He had been chosen because of his thorough knowledge of\nchants, sacred rituals, ceremonial procedure and prayers. No one doubted\nthe word of the cacique. And all Indians owed duties to their respective\nkivas. Although the groups, Turquoise and Squash, were in opposition\nthey also depended upon one another for the common good of the pueblo.\nIf the dual system was in vogue at Tyuonyi, there must have been two\nkivas to support it. A peculiar thing, it seems, took place here. At\nleast one tribal kiva was built and was in use before the Great Period\nof occupation came along. It was a large structure forty-two feet in\ndiameter. Sixty Indians could have crouched down around the inside\nagainst the wall. Indian men, years before, excavated a large concave\ndepression in the side of a hill a hundred yards or so down the Canyon\nfrom Puwige. Days and days were required to bring in thousands of cobble\nstones. They labored untiringly. They brought them from the river and\nthey brought chunks from the cliff. Around this deep concave depression\nwhich they had laboriously scooped out of the earth with broken pieces\nof pottery, sticks, flat stones and whatever else they had to work with,\nIndian men laid stone after stone of this volcanic tuff in crude mortar.\nThey laid a wall ten feet thick. It required thousands of the unworked\nstones to line this deep pit. It was a circular affair and was their way\nof creating a semi-subterranean chamber when they did not know how to\nlay single thickness masonry walls with fashioned blocks.\nNo prehistoric Rio Grande kiva, that I know of, has an entrance through\nits wall such as this which was found at Frijoles. They all were entered\nthrough the roof. Such things as wall entrances are customary in kivas\nin the San Juan area but not in the Rio Grande Valley. And these early\npeople dug five pits in the floor of their kiva and lined them with\ncobble stones. They must have had some use for them of which we know\nnothing. Pits of this type are something else not seen in prehistoric\nRio Grande kivas. They are found in the kivas at Chaco Canyon though,\nand it is possible that they could have been vestiges of that early\nculture.\nThis particular ceremonial chamber had apparently fallen into disuse for\na time. But during the Great Period of occupation, when \u201cthe little\nstrong people\u201d presumably occupied the Tyuonyi, it was rebuilt. There\nwas little use in going to work and building an entirely new kiva when\none was already here and could be rebuilt. The old roofing had fallen to\nthe inside and there were hundreds of pounds of debris in the kiva\nchamber. All this was cleaned out. Building a kiva was a community\nenterprise. Men again began cutting and fashioning rectangular blocks\nfrom large chunks fallen from the cliff. As each block was fashioned it\nwas laid into a single thickness coursed masonry wall around the inside\nof the thick wall of cobble stone which belonged to the earlier\noccupation. The Indian was smart. He laid this circular wall sloping\noutward toward the top so that the pressure from the heavy roof would be\ndiverted downward when it was laid over the walls. When the wall was\nfinished it was nine feet high from the floor of the kiva to the\nceiling. And then to keep it from falling down, the Indians dug\nunderneath the footing stones, and objects modeled of clay which looked\nlike doughnuts were laid in the holes. When we discovered these\ndoughnut-shaped affairs I was mystified until an old Indian from San\nIldefonso told me they were put there purposely to hold the wall up, in\na spiritual way of course.\n [Illustration: Felling trees]\nWhat a large structure this was! It was almost as large as the kivas at\nChaco Canyon where the ancestors of these Indians probably lived several\nhundred years before. There was no kiva this large in the entire Rio\nGrande Valley. Huge timbers forty-five feet long were required to span\nits diameter and timbers that large were difficult to carry. But with\ncrude stone axes and obsidian knives these kiva builders penetrated the\nforest to cut girders for their ceremonial chamber. In the year 1513\nA.D. or thereabout, they cut three trees with trunks fifteen inches or\nmore in diameter. It took hours, days perhaps. They hacked and they\npounded with their Neolithic implements of toil until all three trees\nhad been felled. I would hate to estimate the time required to fell\nthese timbers but time meant nothing to the Indian. Then there was the\njob of removing all the branches, needles and bark.\nPreparing a girder in prehistoric times was a great task. Green timber\nis much heavier than seasoned wood. And so these timbers weighing a ton\nor more were dragged out of the forest to the kiva with stout ropes made\nof yucca fiber. Sheer strength was all these people had. There were no\ncarts with wheels on them to bear the brunt of the load. Heavy objects\nhad to either be dragged or carried. After much sweat and toil the ends\nof the huge poles were rolled over into position in shallow trenches\nworked out for this purpose on both sides of the kiva. These three\ntimbers formed the under structure of the roof. When they were placed\nexactly like the Indian wanted them, pointed rocks were driven into the\nground around the ends and the open spaces were packed with adobe so\nthat these huge round logs would not roll. They placed much smaller\ntimbers of pine across the huge vigas. These were not so difficult to\ncut and they were laid about three feet apart. From down-timbers of\npine, pi\u00f1on, cottonwood or any other type of fallen trees they hacked\nand ripped long narrow sections for the next roof course. The splittings\nwere transported in bundles to the kiva and one by one they were laid\nclose together over the small pine poles. Great quantities of thin\nwillow branches, cane or cat-tail stems were used for the next course.\nPine needles, brush, yucca leaves and whatever leafy material they could\ngather was placed on the top. They needed this brush and leafy material\nbecause it was to hold the thick heavy mud coats which were spread over\nthe top. Indian women carried urn after urn of water on their heads from\nthe Rito and stamped and mixed this mud. The only chore left was to\nthrow dirt over the top.\nWhen the ceremonial chamber was finished it looked like a huge, low\nmound\u2014almost level with the ground. The Indians did not forget the\nsquare opening in the top for the exit of the smoke. Kivas were stuffy\nplaces inside. And as in all kivas there was a ventilator. This had been\nbuilt during the earlier period of occupation and reused during the\nGreat Period. It was a mere tunnel which looked like a fireplace and it\nsuddenly turned upward like a fireplace chimney. The mouth of the\nchimney was level with the ground so that the draft would be downward\nand would go into the kiva and lift the smoke from the firebox to the\nceiling and eventually out the square opening. The Indian of Tyuonyi did\nunderstand something about ventilating a kiva. He was smart enough to\nknow that if the top of the ventilator was built very far above ground\nlevel it would work like a fireplace. Then all the smoke would be drawn\nto the floor of the kiva and sucked out through the low tunnel. And in\nthis case he could not have remained inside. But he never found out how\nto ventilate his cave room in the cliff. How unfortunate!\nDirectly across the kiva in the west side was the entrance which had\nalso been put here years before. It was merely a tunnel with a roof of\nsmall juniper branches. The outside end was open and was just large\nenough for the ends of a two-pole ladder to rest. Indians usually go\ninto their kivas through the roofs, but not here. They climbed down the\nladder, stooped, and with knees in a flexed position scurried through\nthe tunnel to the inside.\nThe five pits in the floor, which have been mentioned before, were\napparently no longer needed for they were filled in with dirt and stones\ntightly packed. A thin layer of dirt was thrown over the entire floor\nsurface. Kiva floors are generally plastered over and during this period\nof occupation the Tyuonyi women, more than likely, were the ones who\nsmeared four fine coats of adobe over the floor and smoothed it out with\ntheir hands.\nI have neglected to mention one of the most important things of all\u2014the\nSipapu or ceremonial entrance from the underworld. It was the place of\nceremonial emergence into this earthly life. Arch\u00e6ologists generally\nfind a small hole in the floor of almost every kiva. But here at Tyuonyi\na special kind of Sipapu was made. A piece of soft volcanic ash was\nformed into a rectangular block and buried edgewise in the floor. A\nsmall hole shaped like an icecream cone was drilled in the top as the\nspirit entrance. The Indians have a legend about this. It is symbolic of\nthe entrance to the land of \u201cEarth Old Women\u201d and of the place where the\nhuman race originated. Long ago they climbed up a Douglas Spruce Tree\nand came into this world through a lake called Sipapu. And when they die\nthe spirits go to Sipapu and on to the underworld. It is said that this\nlake is located in the sand hills north of Alamosa, Colorado. How\nimportant the kiva was to the Indians of Tyuonyi! Sipapu represented the\nplace of creation and to them it was important in no small way. The\ncacique of each one of the big tribal kivas, both Squash and Turquoise,\nwas a direct representative of the Earth Mother or \u201cEarth Old Woman.\u201d\nBut the dweller at Tyuonyi had forgotten something. He did not realize\nhow tremendously heavy the roof of his big kiva was. He did not know\nthat the small pine timbers, the splittings, brush, grass, mud and dirt\nwould cause the big pine vigas to bend and sag and crack in the middle.\nIt is a question whether or not the roof fell in during some important\nceremony. The situation had to be remedied at any rate. Pine poles, nine\nor ten inches in diameter were cut so they would support the weight of\nthe roof. Six holes were dug in the kiva floor, two under each of the\nbig vigas. Flat rocks were put in the bottoms of the holes and the ends\nof the six timbers were inserted and swung into place under the big\ngirders, and driven with heavy rocks into an upright position. The big\nvigas might have sagged a little but the roof never fell after this\ntime. Flat stones were driven tight around the bottoms of the support\nposts and the holes in which they rested were packed solid with mud and\nrocks to keep the timbers from slipping. And this was how the\nprehistoric Indian at Tyuonyi built his ceremonial chambers in which\nwomen were not allowed unless requested by the men. There might have\nbeen more than one roof put on this kiva. The first one could have been\nlaid during the latter part of the fifteenth century. It could have\nfallen and then been rebuilt. Arch\u00e6ologists do know that the last time\nthis large kiva was roofed over was during the early part of the\nsixteenth century. We found one of the large charred ends of a big roof\ntimber and it had been cut in 1513 A.D. So it was about this time that\nthe last kiva roof was laid. Just how long it was in use is a question.\nIt was surely used until the end of the occupation of Frijoles Canyon\nsometime near the close of the sixteenth century.\nThe Indians of Tyuonyi during the Great Period had developed the\ndwellings in the north cliff extensively to the number of some three\nhundred caves. There might have been twice as many talus houses to the\nfront, some one story and others two and three stories high. The cliff\npopulation centered around the Long House while other groups built\nhouses in different locations at the base of the north cliff. And still\nother groups built the big community apartment house of about four\nhundred rooms to a height of possibly three stories and called it\n\u201cPuwige\u201d or \u201cpueblo where the Indian women scraped the bottoms of the\npottery vessels clean.\u201d And they built it in the form of a fort with a\nnarrow hallway through the east side as the only means of entrance. And\nhere they fortified themselves during times of attack by other Indians\nlike themselves who might have been jealous of the watered Valley of the\nFrijoles. Another group preferred to remove themselves down the Canyon a\nquarter-mile and they erected a circular pueblo, a miniature of Puwige,\nseemingly. Still another group preferred to be more isolated and so they\nchose a deep cave one hundred fifty feet above the Canyon floor in which\nto build their house and kiva.\nOne would think, looking at the ruined home sites, that thousands of\nprehistoric Indians dwelt at Tyuonyi but that was never the case.\nAlthough the dwellings were extensive they were not all occupied at any\none time. Small groups moved in. Others moved out. They could have taken\nturns living in Hidden Valley and then returned to the northern villages\nof Potsui\u2019i, Sankawi, Navawi or Tshirege, where their kin and kind\nlived. Tyuonyi might have been a place for summer occupation during the\ngrowing season. When planting time came little groups trickled in from\nthe large northern community villages and remained for a while. One\ncannot be sure of what went on in the Canyon. It was a suitable place\nfor continued occupation with the possibility of an influx of population\nduring the summer months. One can only speculate. Scientific\ninvestigation reveals nothing in this regard. The legends are scant\nnow\u2014the old men who remembered them are just about gone. So one is left\nwith little about how Indians lived on the Pajarito Plateau during\nprehistoric times.\n Living in the Great Period\nIt would have been an utter impossibility for thousands of Indians to\nhave lived off the corn, beans, squash and pumpkins raised in the Valley\nof the Frijoles. But the several hundred who did live here had to eat\nand in order to eat they had to work. The Indians of Tyuonyi were\nfarmers and were largely dependent upon the products of the soil. Only a\nsmall part of their sustenance was from animals and birds. Of course,\nthere was game of all kinds. There were deer, perhaps elk and mountain\nsheep, bears, turkeys, rabbits, and fish in the creek. But even though\nthis was wild country, several hundred Indians living in the locality\nwould soon have depleted the stock with their communal hunts. In the\nfall of the year there were grouse in the high mountains and ducks along\nthe Rio Grande. But imagine how difficult it would have been to kill a\ngrouse or a duck with a crude bow and arrow. The deer might have been\nthe prize of the Indians at Frijoles. They ate the meat and used the\nhides for buckskin. They knew the rabbit and the mouse and knew that the\nwoodrat gathered the edible pi\u00f1on nuts to store away in its hiding\nplace. The robber, since there was a large crop of the nuts only once\nevery few years! They ate the squirrel. Skunk skins were probably used\nfor ceremonial purposes. The raccoon, however scarce, likely formed part\nof the diet of the cliff dweller. And although Indians knew the birds of\nthe forest, they probably did not digest the meat of hawks very well. As\na matter of fact, most birds were too fast for the ever-seeking valley\ndweller with his crude weapons.\nFew Indian ruins are excavated in which the remains of corn are not\nfound. The ancient inhabitants raised corn\u2014much corn. It was the most\nimportant item in their diet. The fields in the lower end of the Canyon\nwere fertile. The valley was a paradise for primitive people. During\ncorn planting time tiny kernels were sown in the rich fertile ground\nwhich had been broken with digging sticks and crude hoes. There were\nlikely no large continuous fields in this valley but only small patches\nwhere individuals might have had separate fields. Adolph Bandelier\nsuggested that the ancient people irrigated in the Valley of the\nFrijoles. How lucky they were if this were true. It is more likely that\nthey depended on the waters from the heavens. When it was extremely dry\nthe Indian women transported water from the little river in urns on the\ntops of their heads. And so heavy were the jars filled with water that\nthey were obliged to use soft pot-rests of grass. Corn was planted in\nApril and was likely sown under a waxing moon so that it would grow with\nthe moon. The Tewas believed that when corn was sown under a waning\nmoon, the seeds quit growing. With careful nursing and watering from\nApril until September, the pigmy ears grew. In the early fall the corn\nwas gathered by the men.\n [Illustration: Cultivating corn]\n [Illustration: Carrying water]\nA day at Tyuonyi during \u201ccorn gathering month\u201d about 1537 A.D. was an\ninteresting one. The large plaza inside Puwige was swept clean, if\ncustoms of yesteryear parallel those of today, and the corn was brought\ntherein. Corn, they believed, had life like people and would be glad to\nbe brought in and housed and protected. It was placed in piles and\neverybody from the pueblo helped with the husking\u2014men, women and\nchildren. And when they finished they might have gone to the cliffs to\nhelp their relatives with their husking. As fast as the ears were husked\nthey were thrown on the flat mud roofs of the houses to dry. These\nIndians did not use all the corn at once. The old women thought of crop\nfailures the next year and so they saved a double amount of the\nlife-giving grains to plant the year after. After all the husking was\ndone, the pueblo was swept clean with brooms made of grass bound with\nyucca fiber or corn husks. This was in preparation for a festival\u2014a\ndance perhaps, to observe the gathering-in of the crop. Strange customs\nthese Indians had! While corn was standing in the fields it was the\nproperty of the men. As soon as it was gathered, husked and stored, it\nbelonged to the women who were the caretakers, even though they took\nlittle part in pueblo life at Frijoles which was predominantly a\nmasculine society.\nNot all the four hundred rooms at Puwige were used for dwellings.\nPerhaps no more than a hundred Indians lived here. The smaller rooms\naround the inside of the circle, more than likely, were used for storage\npurposes. If this were so, it was here that great stores of corn were\nkept\u2014inside the circle, safe from plunderers and robbers. How important\nthis corn was! It might have been offered to the Gods as a request for\nvarious favors and Indian women might have taken corn along when they\nwent to look for pottery clay, for clay was a scarce item here. And some\nof the people might have worn little bags of corn around their necks.\nEven in prehistoric times a corn cake would have tasted good. Green corn\nwas pounded into a pulp, patted into a cake and then baked on a hearth\nof black stone over a little fireplace. And Indian women could have\ngreased the little cakes with the fat of a deer to make them tasty. When\nthe corn was all dry old women knelt before their angled metates set in\nbins and with a hand-piece or mano of black basalt they ground. Their\nfingernails were worn oblique on the ends from constant rubbing in\nrhythmic time with a corn-grinding chant sung by the men as they beat a\ndrum or two. And they ground on three or four metates. First, they broke\nthe corn, then by the time it was passed on and ground on each of the\nmetates, it was transformed into fine corn flour. And lastly, it was\nstored away or perhaps packed over the mountains to other villages. Some\nof it might have been traded for buffalo hides by traders who penetrated\nthe buffalo region to the east, far out of the realm of the pueblos of\nthe Rio Grande and adjacent mountains.\n [Illustration: Grinding corn meal]\nThere were many uses for corn. Bundles of grass were bound together at\nthe tops with twisted corn shucks and used as brooms. And even\ncigarettes could have been made by wrapping corn husks around the dry\nleaves of some tobacco plant. Only the old men smoked. Smoking could\nhave taken place in one of the kivas at a time when a delegation arrived\nfrom another pueblo. Keres and Tewas might have held council at Tyuonyi,\nabout Tyuonyi itself, and passed around from each to other a fire-stick\nwith a glowing end from the fireplace as a lighter. Mats and door-flaps\nwere made of plaited corn husks and it would not have been an uncommon\nsight to find these coverings over the openings of some of the houses at\nthe base of the cliff. Corn was certainly an important item.\nArch\u00e6ologists have recovered beans also\u2014pinto beans. It was a type known\nto the Indians before the Spaniards ever thought about the New World.\nDuring some of our excavation work I found that the people who had lived\nin the Ceremonial Cave, far above the concentration of the Canyon\u2019s\npopulation, knew about beans as well as the rest of the dwellers. Beans\nwere one of the staple foods. The people at San Ildefonso today know\nthem as \u201ctewatu.\u201d It is possible that the same name was given beans at\nprehistoric Frijoles.\nThere were many uses for gourds also. Half-sections were scraped clean\nof their pulp and used as dippers and ladles. Whole gourds were used as\nrattles in ceremonial dances. Broken pieces could have been used to\nscrape and smooth wet pottery before it was fired.\nAlmost everywhere were products of the earth. And they were used to\ntheir fullest extent. These people even knew about cotton. Whether it\nwas ever raised in Hidden Valley is questionable. Pieces of the simple\nover-and-under weave cloth have been found in the ruins. The growing\nseason in the mountains might have been too short. It might be that\nthese Indians traded with their neighbors to the south for their\nnecessary supply of cotton. Cotton was woven into ceremonial\nparaphernalia and also into garments. Men wore cotton breech clouts\nwhile women wore large mantas of cotton cloth. This cloth was suspended\nfrom one shoulder downward covering one side of the breast, wrapped once\naround the waist and then taken up the back of the shoulder and tied in\na knot. A very important item was cotton.\nAll of the wild plants were utilized and especially when cultivated\ncrops gave out. There were many in the valley growing wild along the\nfertile banks of the Rio de Los Frijoles. There were gooseberries,\ncurrants, the berries of sumac, onions, milkweed, strawberries, blazing\nstar, horsemint, dandelions and prickly pears from the round leaf\ncactus. Even the ball cactus might have been eaten. And surely many of\nthese were stored for later use. Little did these primitive dwellers\nknow what might befall them. Raids by hostile bands often destroyed\ntheir fields. Fire might have been set to the roofs of their homes. A\nperiod of drought could have been one of their worries even here in the\nValley of the Tyuonyi.\nMother Earth gave the Indian everything. She lavishly produced juniper\nand pi\u00f1on wood for fires, choke-cherry, juniper and oak for stout bows.\nAnd there was hard wood for the foreshafts of arrows and cane for the\nhind shafts to which turkey feathers were fastened as guides. She\nproduced sticks for clubbing rabbits to death. There was rabbit brush\nfor yellow paint. The leaves of yucca, when pounded up and dried, could\nbe twisted into stout rope and cord. Extremely tiny cords were used in\nmaking fishnets. Strips of yucca were used in making baskets and also\nfor making brushes used in painting and decorating pottery. Stout strips\nof the tough leaf were used for tying. And the Indian even knew how to\nextract the medicinal properties from plants. The Valley of the Frijoles\nproduced for the primitive dweller most of the things he had to have for\nsuccessful living.\n [Illustration: Making pottery]\nWhile Indian men, it seems, laid the walls of the houses and repaired\nthem, and cut the heavy roof timbers\u2014while they planted corn and hunted,\nthe women were not idle. The art of pottery making has long been the\npride of pueblo women. They did the whole job from beginning to end.\nThey searched the river and arroyo banks for clay and they carried it to\ntheir homes where it was kneaded and rolled out into long rod-like\nstrands. All pottery was coiled. They began at the very bottom and\nbrought the long strands of tempered clay round and round in the general\nshape they desired. And then they patted and smoothed the vessel out\nwith wood or gourd scrapers. When it was dry, they applied a slipping or\nwash coat over the outside. When this was done the vessel was decorated\nwith various crude designs. It was then put into an open fire smothered\nwith wood, corncobs, pine needles and grasses so that the heat would be\nretained. This was their method of firing. When a vessel was removed\nfrom the fire and the ashes wiped off, a dirty white background with\nblack designs appeared. There were several different types of this ware\nmade at Frijoles. Today we call this pottery a black-on-white ware.\n [Illustration: COURTESY MUSEUM OF NEW MEXICO A SECTION OF LONG\n HOUSE]\n [Illustration: COURTESY NAT\u2019L. PARK SERVICE RECONSTRUCTED CLIFF\n HOUSE]\n [Illustration: COURTESY NAT\u2019L. PARK SERVICE RUINS OF PUWIGE]\n [Illustration: COURTESY NAT\u2019L. PARK SERVICE RUINS OF THE LARGE KIVA]\nThe most common type known to the arch\u00e6ologist today is Biscuit ware. It\nis so-called because it is exceptionally thick and porous. These Indians\nmade flat squatty bowls, and ollas\u2014the common wide-necked jars. These\nwere inferior types and not nearly as good pottery as was made by other\nIndian women at other villages. It was tempered with soft volcanic ash.\nTiny particles were worked into the soft clay to keep it from cracking\nand resulted in a soft powdery ware which was easily broken. It is\npossible that these women were not very well satisfied with their\npottery made from local materials. The same thing was true at all the\nvillages on the Pajarito. When water was put in the jars and bowls they\nbecame soft. It certainly was not a satisfactory type of ware. And the\nIndian women might have been very much ashamed. Pottery making was their\nwork, their art and their pride. But the materials in this country\nsimply did not make good hard pottery despite the ability of any\nindividual potter.\nHowever, the Keres women made good hard pottery. They had the clays and\nthe tempers with which to work. They were still making the ware with the\nslick red finish and glaze designs on the outside which was developed in\nthe Little Colorado district of western New Mexico and eastern Arizona.\nThey were even making the polychromes or multi-colored wares by this\ntime. Trading this pottery might have been the solution to the problem\nof the Tewas even after the Keres-speaking people had been driven from\nthe Tyuonyi. New generations of Keres might have had a different way of\nlooking at things. Although the red glaze ware had become coarse and\nheavy by this time, it surpassed the soft Biscuit wares made by these\nvalley women. They were probably glad to accept it in trade. From about\n1400 A.D. all through to the abandonment of Frijoles Canyon, the glaze\nwares were present. The glazes did not stop here but are found at Tewa\nvillages far to the north. These people, too, had been making the same\nsoft ware as did the dwellers in the Frijoles. So it does appear that\nsome sort of a relationship could have existed between Keres and\nTewa-speaking groups of people even during these late times.\n [Illustration: Pueblo beside a cliff]\nThe main occupation, it seems, lasted well up toward the close of the\nsixteenth century. Several generations of Indians had lived here either\nin cliff homes or pueblos on the floor of the Canyon. Any night might\nhave witnessed hundreds of tiny smokes emerging from smoke holes in\nroofs. The glow from tiny fires inside the cliff rooms lighted the\ndoorways in the front walls. A sentry, perhaps, with bow and\nsharp-pointed arrow was posted at the entrance to Puwige, the big\ncommunity house, or on some nearby high point where he could comb the\nlandscape with sharp eyes and would warn the pueblo dwellers that\nwarriors were approaching. A summer day would suggest men basking in the\nsun or attempting to net out fish from the little river below. Women had\njars on their heads. Others were gathering berries and greens. A hunter\nwas greeted as he strolled forth triumphantly with wild game for a meal\nor two. A sudden summer cloudburst of rain or hail\u2014delightful and\nrefreshing and good for the corn too, interrupted the sameness of\nthings. The tiny drops sent an Indian mother with baby on her back\nscampering for shelter. Children were running and laughing but ever\nalert. These are only a few of the incidents of six hundred years of\nliving, primitive and insecure living, which went on in the Valley of\nthe Tyuonyi.\n [Illustration: Welcome rain]\nToward the close of the century the waters from the heavens stopped.\nCorn fields dried up and the waters of the little river were no more.\nThe curse of the Southwest had hit again. The lands became drier and\ndrier as the days passed. Cliff homes were like ovens as the hot sun\nbeat down upon them. The same thing happened here as happened to their\nancestors in the west centuries before. The Tewas, living in the big\nvillages to the north, were experiencing the same thing. There was no\nwater in the canyons. Water holes had gone dry. And there was no water\nfrom the heavens to be caught in great rock cisterns. Small groups began\nto move. Others hung on. Could it be that Hidden Valley was to go the\nway of all the rest? It was true. Moving was a necessity now.\n [Illustration: Abandoning the pueblo]\nIt is not known how many Indians lived at this place during those last\ndays of drought and it is possible that those who might have remained\ndid not wish to be left in Hidden Valley close to Keres land to the\nsouth. So, slowly but surely, group after group trickled out of the\nValley of the Frijoles, leaving their homes to the mercy of the\nelements. Within the course of a very short time the entire population\nhad evacuated. They crossed deep canyons and high potrero tops\u2014dry\nnow\u2014and helped to cut just a little deeper the very same old trails in\nthe soft rock, which had been worn down by thousands of moccasined feet\nfor countless generations. Before they left it seems that they must have\ndestroyed almost everything they possessed. Fire was set to the roof of\ntheir large kiva. This was the end of the Tyuonyi. Hidden Valley had\nwitnessed its last great occupation. It had been occupied by Indians for\nsix centuries\u2014Indians who had lived, raised corn and beans and squash\nand pumpkins, and who had fought and died. The occupation of Frijoles\npossibly was tottering at the time the Espejo expedition came up the Rio\nGrande Valley in February of the year 1583. A few stragglers could have\nstill been here\u2014who knows? But certainly by the close of the century\nTyuonyi was a thing of the past. The roofs to the houses were falling\nin\u2014timbers were rotting and cracking under the tremendous weight of\npoles and brush and mud. Walls fell. It was a deserted town with a\nbackground as colorful as any other pueblo in the Southwest. Hidden\nValley was still here but its actors were no more.\nBy the close of the sixteenth century, it seems, all of the great\ntowns\u2014the terraced community apartment houses on the Pajarito\u2014had been\nabandoned. Life in the hills and mountains had grown unbearable because\nof a shortage of water. These people, I have no doubt, disliked leaving\ntheir mountain homes. The mountains were more conducive to successful\nliving than the hot sandy banks of the Rio Grande. But this made no\ndifference now\u2014moving was a necessity. Groups pushed off the mesa tops\nand down the canyons into the Valley of the Rio Grande. Soon little\nsettlements sprang up. This move certainly must have been a step down\nfor the cliff and pueblo dwellers. They had lived for centuries on the\nwooded mesa tops near high mountains and had drunk spring water. Now\nthey had only the muddy waters of the Rio Grande. They established the\nvillage of Perage on the west bank of the river about a mile west of\ntheir present pueblo of Powhoge or San Ildefonso. Other groups could\nhave gone to other Tewa-speaking villages. Just when the pueblo of San\nIldefonso was established is not certain but it was long, long ago.\nTewas could live in peace now and raise corn, beans, squash and\npumpkins, for here the muddy waters of the Rio Grande were ever flowing.\nBut it was not for the Tewas to say, or think, that they could live in\npeace. The next Spanish expedition taught them this. The expedition\nheaded by Don Juan de O\u00f1ate was the colonizing expedition into New\nMexico. In 1598, soldiers, colonists, carts and baggage streamed up the\nValley of the Rio Grande and took possession of New Mexico in the name\nof His Majesty, the King of Spain. This time the occupation was in\nearnest. Four hundred or more settlers and soldiers marched up the\nvalley, the settlers with everything they possessed in the way of tools\nand personal effects. Thousands of domestic animals were brought in. The\nSpanish meant to stay this time.\nIn the north Tewa country, beyond San Ildefonso, was the Province of\nYunqueyunque which is thought to have been located near the present San\nJuan Pueblo. It was here that the first capital city of New Mexico was\nestablished by the Spanish on July 11, 1598. It was called San Gabriel.\nIt was about this time that the Tewa-speaking people on the Pajarito\nPlateau were abandoning their homes in canyons and on mesa tops and\nmoving to the banks of the Rio Grande where they built the pueblo of San\nIldefonso. These Indians built the pueblo with rows of houses two and\nthree stories high and built their kivas on top of the ground instead of\nbelow the ground as they had done in their former homes.\nAfter O\u00f1ate had been removed from office as Governor of New Mexico, the\nViceroy appointed Don Pedro de Peralta and the capital was moved from\nSan Gabriel to Santa Fe in 1610. Governors changed. Each made new laws.\nIndians were used as slaves. They produced goods for the Spanish.\nChildren went to school and all went to church. They took on\nChristianity\u2014yes, but they retained their old beliefs and old forms of\nworship. Roman Catholic Missionaries built churches in many of the Rio\nGrande pueblos which the Indians paid for. Some were flogged for not\nwanting to go to church, but this new form of religion was forced upon\nthem. Hours were long and hard and taxes imposed by the Spanish were\nexorbitant. This kept up for seven decades.\nRebellion was on the way. Acoma, the Sky City, was the first village to\nrebel. This was quelled. Then the Jemez, then the pueblos of San Felipe\nand Cochiti, our Keres-speaking friends, rebelled. Alameda and Isleta\nwere next. But these uprisings were not put down. It all ended up in the\nbloody and terrible Pueblo Rebellion of 1680. Spaniards were murdered\nright and left all over New Mexico. The Tewas of San Ildefonso were in\nsympathy with the Rebellion. They had suffered too, and so they marched\nwith their allies regardless of creed, clan or language spoken, to Santa\nFe, the capital city. The remaining little handful of Spanish refugees\nhad gathered in the Palace of the Governors as a last resort. One white\ncross and one red cross were sent to the Spanish Governor Otermin by the\nIndians. White meant peace. Red meant war. The Governor chose war. But\nthe cause was hopeless now. The Spanish were outnumbered and their food\nand water supply had been cut off. Surrender was the only alternative,\nso, on August 21, the Spanish left the Palace and back-tracked down the\nValley of the Rio Grande. The Indian now had his land back. He could\nlive in peace along the banks of the river and raise his crops, so he\nthought. No more toil and no more taxes. But this Utopia was not to be\nrealized.\nEven though the Navaho had taken an active part in the uprisings, he\nbegan to cause trouble as soon as the Spanish were out of New Mexico.\nThe Pueblo people had not counted on this. The Navaho had taken\neverything from the Spaniard that he could use against him, including\nthe horse. As soon as the weakened Pueblo people thought they had rid\nthemselves of trouble and war and killing, the wild Navaho took\nadvantage of the situation. Terror reigned for a decade or more. The\nNavaho swooped down upon the pueblos at night, plundering and killing.\nPutting up with the Spanish might have been easier to take than this.\nBut all was to change again. Don Diego de Vargas marched up the Rio\nGrande with another colonizing expedition, soldiers and missionaries.\nPueblo after pueblo was reconquered and Santa Fe was re-entered in 1693.\nThe Pueblo people were not too hard to bring to submission this time.\nThe Spanish would help their warriors to drive off their enemies. The\npueblos had had about all they could take from the Navaho.\nThen there were the Tewa villages to be dealt with up the Rio Grande\nbetween Santa Fe and the pueblo of San Juan. The San Ildefonso Tewa fled\nto a high black rock known as \u201cBlack Mesa.\u201d It had been used by them for\nyears as a place of defense. From its top the country can be seen for\nmiles around. It was here that they held out against the Spanish\nsoldiers from January until September of 1694. They finally surrendered\nafter several unsuccessful assaults at their rock and a siege which\nlasted for five days. Black Mesa figures considerably in the mythology\nof the Tewas. They say that during this seven-months period while their\npeople were besieged on the high mesa top, brave men descended through\nthe precipitous gap during the night to the Rio Grande below to get\nwater for their marooned people. Black Mesa is sometimes known as\n\u201cMesita Huerfano\u201d or \u201cOrphan Mesa.\u201d It is said that a giant lived here\nat one time and caught children from the pueblo which he and his wife\nand daughter ate. He was at last killed by the Tewa War Gods. Legend has\nit that the giant\u2019s heart is still on the mesa top in the form of a\nwhite rock.\nWe have almost forgotten the Keres-speaking people to the south who were\nalso having trouble. During the Rebellion, the Cochitenos abandoned\ntheir pueblo and moved back up the Ca\u00f1ada de Cochiti to Kotyiti. This\nwas, according to their legends, the last site they occupied after being\ndriven from the Tyuonyi and before establishing the present Cochiti on\nthe banks of the Rio Grande. Kotyiti was built on top of a high mesa\nknown to the Spanish as \u201cPotrero Viejo.\u201d It is a mesa about two miles\nlong and several hundred feet high. It was a natural fortress for the\nIndians, and it was to this fortress that the Keres moved back and built\ntheir homes shortly after the beginning of the Rebellion. This fortress\nwas known as \u201cHanat Cochiti\u201d or \u201cCochiti Above.\u201d With the coming of\nDiego de Vargas in 1693, the Indians fled from the pueblo on the river\nto their mesa and put up a stiff battle, but in vain. After their\nreconquest, broken and tired of trouble, they moved back to Cochiti in\n1694 where they have been ever since.\nBut what trouble the Tewas of San Ildefonso did have! There suddenly\ncame another outburst of pueblo rebellion in June of 1696 and the people\nof San Ildefonso burned their beautiful church which had been built for\nthem by the Spanish with Indian labor, sweat, blood and taxes. Two\npriests were caught in the burning building as well as several other\nSpaniards. There they all perished. The San Ildefonso Tewa have a legend\nand a belief that they should always move to the south and never to the\nnorth. But someone wanted the pueblo moved to the north. And so there\nwas a contest between good people and sorcerers, and the sorcerers won\nby witchcraft. The pueblo was moved to the north. The San Ildefonso\npeople believe that this is the reason why they had pestilence and\nfamines, and why their people decreased in numbers. Such trouble they\nhad!\nCould it be that during these trying and troublesome years at the close\nof the seventeenth century, some of these heart-sick and war-weary\nIndians decided that life back on the high forested mesa tops or in deep\ncanyons to the south where their ancestors had lived, just a century\nbefore, would be better than this? Could they tear themselves away from\ntheir brethren at night and sneak south, back into the hills and down\ninto deep canyons protected by high vertical cliffs, even into Hidden\nValley? Spanish soldiers on horseback could not find them here. They\ncould not follow the old Indian trails. Perhaps those known as the \u201cgood\npeople\u201d of San Ildefonso were so opposed to moving their pueblo a little\nto the north that they refused to have any part in this plan and\npreferred moving far to the south.\nTo assume that such a move took place would not be folly even if we had\nno supporting evidence. Families could have removed themselves to the\nhills of the Pajarito. Here Hidden Valley offered them protection. It\nwas deep in the south country and water had returned to the creek. The\ndrought period was over and there would be water from the heavens again.\nThe old abandoned dwellings in Frijoles Canyon were in ruins. Roof\ntimbers had rotted and walls had fallen. These were the homes of their\nancestors. But with very little work these homes could be made livable\nagain. And so, in a remote section in the lower end of Frijoles, the\nIndians again went to work in a group of rooms high above the floor of\nthe Canyon. They were a quarter-mile from the ruins of the Long House\nand Puwige which were in open sight.\nLike true cliff dwellers in prehistoric times they rebuilt old homes\ninto new ones. Rooms were cleaned out. The old roof structures were\nremoved from the inside. Loose building stones were removed from the\nbroken-down walls. And the cave rooms above were also cleaned out.\nIndian men again cut pine timbers for roof poles with crude stone axes.\nThey rebuilt walls and laid the poles over the tops. Indian women mixed\nmud\u2014good hard Tewa mud. They brought in clay from nearby arroyos or from\nthe Rio Grande and raised their talus houses two stories high. Some of\nthe caves, after a hundred years, had eroded beyond use. Doorways and\nfronts had fallen. Indians gathered fallen building blocks strewn along\nthe base of the cliff which had been fashioned by their ancestors. They\nbuilt artificial fronts to the caves and plastered them over with mud.\nFine clay mortar was smeared over the floor and rough surfaced walls.\nDoorways were built in the front walls of houses. Ladders were built. A\ncorn patch was planted. Game likely was plentiful now. Black volcanic\nglass was chipped into sharp arrow points. A deer or two were brought in\ntriumphantly from a hunt. And they created new homes for themselves and\nbrought life back to Hidden Valley while their kin and kind struggled on\nand on with Spaniard and Navaho.\nSafe at last, they lived again. Corn was harvested in the fall of the\nyear and shucked and stored. Indian women ground corn on old worn\nmetates left there a century before and the men again chanted away in\ntime with the beat of a drum which echoed between steep canyon walls.\nBaskets were made of juniper and yucca. Blankets of fur and feathers\nwere sewn together. Stout cord was twisted from the fibers of yucca.\nIndian women made brooms of grass tied with corn husks and yucca fiber\nto sweep their sooty rooms, while brown-skinned babies rolled in the\ndust. Gourds were scraped and made into utility vessels and Indian women\nagain carried water in urns on the tops of their heads from the little\ncreek far below.\nIt undoubtedly took some readjustment to live in the cliffs again after\na century of acculturational contact with the Spanish. Just how many\nIndians or how large a group returned to the Canyon homes is not known.\nBut by this time we see that the Indian had acquired a few things from\nthe Spanish either by trade or thievery. This little group brought with\nthem pieces of metal and wooden objects of possible foreign origin,\nobjects brought in by the Spanish to the Rio Grande. One such object,\nwhich we found, was a two-pronged pick of viburnum, elaborately carved\non top with a sharp steel blade. It was not much longer than a hair-pin\nand reminded one of such. Its use is still puzzling. And the Indians\nbrought woolen cloth which was definitely post-Spanish. The Spaniards\nhad brought the sheep to New Mexico. The weave of the cloth was such\nthat it could not be mistaken. Could it have been from a Spanish garment\nor was it Indian-made? It is even possible that these people were\nwearing woven garments of wool when they reoccupied the Frijoles.\nThe little community was a poor one. There is no doubt about it. The\nIndian made fire in the same old way with fire drills. A blunt round\npiece of wood was turned so fast in the groove of a flat piece of wood\nthat fire was produced. These people used cultivated tobacco at this\ntime\u2014a variety never before discovered in the Southwest of this early\nage. During a moment of temptation, the writer rolled a cigarette from\npart of this Indian mix which he found buried in a small red bowl. He\nsmoked it without any ill effects. It looked like tobacco, smelled like\ntobacco and tasted like tobacco. Discarded fragments of pipes were found\nwhich had bowls of hard wood burned through. Moccasins of deer skin sewn\ntogether with sinew were found. Could they have been made in Frijoles\nCanyon or were they brought into the valley by these Indians? Whichever\nwas the case, they were worn out. One pair was half-soled\u2014not like our\nhalf-soles today, but on the inside. A new piece of buckskin had been\ncut and fitted and sewn to the inside of one of the worn-out moccasins\nwhich had been discarded.\nThe chirp of a turkey hen or the gobble of a gobbler created a dead\nsilence in any primitive household. The calls echoed and could be heard\nfor a half-mile. Even today, we stop and listen and follow the call just\nfor a glimpse of the wild turkey. It is exciting. A tenseness of nerve\nand muscle envelops a person. An Indian father crept noiselessly down\nthe steep slope to the valley far below\u2014stopped, listened\u2014not a sound\nbut the whining of the wind through the high tops of pines or the caw of\na raven flying high above, or the rolling waters of the little river.\nFollowing again and picking each step, bow and arrow in hand, ready to\ndraw, he stopped. The turkeys were coming closer and behind a rock he\nhid or laid close to the little river out of sight. They were almost\nupon him, feeding peacefully on grasshoppers and bugs. A well directed\narrow would mean meat for the whole family. That the Indian used only\nthe feathers of the turkey is an idea of the past. The broken food bones\nare found in the ruins of ancient homes. Besides using the meat of the\nturkey for food, the Indian used the feathers for ceremonial purposes\nand strips of turkey feather spines made excellent wrappings for making\narrow guides.\n [Illustration: Decaying pueblo]\nSuch was life in Hidden Valley after the conquest of New Mexico by the\nSpanish. Living in the Tyuonyi at this time was apparently a necessity.\nIt could again have been our Tewa-speaking friends who raised corn,\nbeans, squash and pumpkins in the beautiful and colorful Valley of the\nFrijoles and who watched the sun, day after day, pass down behind the\ncliff to the land of Sipapu. But time again had a way of making things\nright, though not just as the Indian desired it. After the close of the\nseventeenth century, it seems, Frijoles was abandoned again. The Indians\nleft their cliff homes and moved back to the Valley of the Rio Grande.\nThere was little trouble with the Spanish from then on and the Indian\nwars were over and all were subdued and the ancient homes in Frijoles\ncontinued to crumble and walls continued to fall. A little time was all\nthat was necessary to completely cover the abandoned dwellings. Howling\nwinds beat sharp particles of dirt against crumbling walls and\neventually filled them in and covered them. Deep kivas were no more.\nSmall stones, boulders and dust fell from the cliffs covering up talus\nhouses. Huge slides covered many homes and the wind and rain beat\nagainst the vulnerable cliff walls and eroded many of the caves almost\nbeyond identification. Indian occupation was ended now but Hidden Valley\nstill remained. The Rito de Los Frijoles continued to cut its course\ndeeper and deeper through the soft volcanic ash as it had done through\nsix hundred years of Indian living. Struggle had ended over the Tyuonyi.\nIt was deserted to the ravages of time. To the south the Keres were\nsettled now, and to the north the Tewas. They were content; and Hidden\nValley was left alone.\nThe early part of the eighteenth century saw the Spanish interested in\nmore than Pueblo Indians. There was the actual colonization of New\nMexico and the war with France which drew their attention. New Mexican\nland was divided into tracts or land grants. The Spanish had combed it\nall. They knew about the canyon today known as the \u201cFrijoles,\u201d the\nTyuonyi of the Cochiti Indians. The tract lay just south of the bounds\nof what is known as the \u201cRamon Vigil Grant.\u201d It was in litigation much\nof the time. The land was cleared, broken and put under cultivation\nduring the latter part of the eighteenth century. The valley floor was\ncleared and no doubt some of the homes occupied by Indians years before\nwere obliterated. This valley was given the name of El Rito de Los\nFrijoles sometime prior to the year 1780. For years, people have said\nthat the Canyon derived its name from the fact that Indians raised beans\nhere in prehistoric times. True, prehistoric Indians did grow beans at\nFrijoles but the derivation of its name probably had no connection with\nany Indian occupation.\nWith the coming of a new century, Spanish people were accused of living\nin the caves of the Rito like barbarians. This picturesque Hidden Valley\nwas a rendezvous for cattle thieves and persons whose characters could\nbe questioned. It was a den for robbers who greatly troubled the people\naround the country, so, in 1811 the Spanish Governor ordered all its\ninhabitants to move out. The Canyon must have been occupied more or less\ncontinuously throughout the nineteenth century by farming groups of\nSpanish-Americans. And they were troubled by Indian raids from time to\ntime until the latter part of the century.\n [Illustration: PHOTO BY GEORGE THOMPSON THE AUTHOR AT AN OLD HIDDEN\n TRAIL]\n [Illustration: COURTESY NAT\u2019L. PARK SERVICE A PARTY OF VISITORS AT\n LONG HOUSE]\nThe walls of ancient caves today are pocked with nail holes.\nSheepherders might have camped for a while and left initials and dates\npicked in the soft stone. Cow bones strewn at the base of the cliff, now\ndry and white and brittle with age, are the only sad memorials of what\nwent on. And many are the hidden legends. Every little canyon in the\nlocality has a name. Something happened to give them their names. One,\nWater Canyon, was formerly known as \u201cDiesmo\u201d or \u201cTen-Percent Canyon,\u201d\nbecause a priest collected ten percent of the lambs from sheep owners as\na tithe for the church and herded his flocks in this valley. Everything\nhas a meaning in this colorful land. There still exists today a circular\nplatform of blocks of tuff on the floor of Frijoles Canyon. Local\nfarmers claim that it belonged to them and their fathers before them. It\nwas used as a threshing floor. I have heard that it was a dance pavilion\nor platform and was advised that if I brought over some of the Indian\nwomen from San Ildefonso and asked them to do what they were supposed to\ndo, they would begin dancing the ring dance. The stories are many but\nwill the truth ever be known? Time is slipping by.\nWithin quite recent years the Navaho has used the old trails, just\npassing through, going to some pueblo to trade perhaps. Even Zu\u00f1i\nIndians have passed through the Valley of the Tyuonyi\u2014resting a few\nminutes and drinking of the waters of El Rito de Los Frijoles as they\nmight have done in years past when they were supposed to have visited\nthe Stone Lions to the south. And Indians from Cochiti have returned to\ntheir Tyuonyi during summer months to raise a little corn. These people\nreligiously return to the homes of their ancestors. Even today, certain\nof the old Tewa men from northern pueblos trudge south into timbered\nmountainous country and erect shrines near their ancestral homes. They\ncarve miniature pueblos three and four stories high out of volcanic\nboulders of soft ash. They build altars and burn ceremonial fires. They\ndig holes in the soft ground, line them with little rocks and cover the\nholes with green branches from the juniper tree. Many times I have seen\nevidences of these ceremonies along dry arroyo banks on the Pajarito\nPlateau.\nIn 1880, Adolph F. Bandelier, famous Swiss ethnologist, archivist and\nhistorian, entered the Valley of the Frijoles.\nAt the time, he was connected with the Arch\u00e6ological Institute of\nAmerica and had been sent to New Mexico to work among the Indians who\ntoday live in mud-walled pueblos up and down the banks of the Rio\nGrande. Bandelier spent a great many days at Santo Domingo and Cochiti\nseeking out legends and myths regarding the people\u2019s past and present\nand it was from the Cochitenos that Bandelier learned of Tyuonyi.\nBandelier\u2019s descriptions of the surrounding country are thoroughly\ndetailed. He must have possessed a very keen mind to have so well\ndescribed geographical features in such brief association. He entered\nFrijoles Canyon, the Tyuonyi of the Cochiti Indians, on October 23 of\nthat year.\nIt has been said that Bandelier lived in the caves of the Rito de Los\nFrijoles, and, according to stories passed around by hearsay, he could\nhave lived in a dozen different caves. It would be nice, and perhaps\npoetic, to say that the famous student hung his coat or his hat on such\nand such a nail, when wire nails such as are found in these caves\nprobably did not exist during Bandelier\u2019s visits to the Canyon. The\ngeneral opinion among people who remember Bandelier is that he did spend\nsome time in one particular cave high above the Canyon floor. It was a\ndouble-chambered cave overlooking Puwige and the entire broad and open\nlower end of the Canyon. The view was perfect. It might have been here\nthat Bandelier organized some of his notes which resulted in the\nnever-to-be-forgotten ethno-historic novel, _The Delight Makers_. People\nhave said that Adolph Bandelier lived for years at Frijoles, but this is\nnot true. His investigation of practically the entire Southwest took\nonly five years to complete. So we might limit his stay to days, but\nthose days counted. It was Bandelier\u2019s intent to portray history and\narch\u00e6ology in the guise of fiction and here he laid the basis for his\nfamous novel which brought fifteenth-century dwellers of the Tyuonyi to\nlife again.\nThe works of Charles F. Lummis will never be forgotten\u2014_The Land of Poco\nTiempo_; _Mesa, Canyon and Pueblo_. Bandelier and Lummis were very good\nfriends and although their opinions and ideas conflicted at times, this\nfriendship was never broken. Many times has Lummis visited Frijoles and\nmany times has he stayed in the old Indian cave rooms, even in quite\nrecent times, when other accommodations were available.\nIn 1907, Judge A. J. Abbot settled in the Valley of the Frijoles. He\nbuilt a ranch house out of the ancient building stones of volcanic ash.\nThe stones came from Puwige, the big community house. Cut and fashioned\nin the sixteenth century or thereabout, by prehistoric Indians, they\nwere used again. The place was known as \u201cTen Elder Ranch,\u201d because of\nthe box-elder trees growing nearby. The ranch changed hands three times\nand was subsequently known as \u201cFrijoles Canyon Ranch\u201d until the old\nbuildings were torn down and replaced by modern unique pueblo style\nbuildings designed by government engineers and known as \u201cFrijoles Canyon\nLodge.\u201d It would be an utter impossibility to name all of the famous\npersonages who have visited Frijoles or were entertained at the old\nranch place. The Commoners and the Nobility, people from the four\ncorners of the globe came, some of them leaving a little remembrance or\ntoken of their appreciation\u2014a poem about the Frijoles perhaps, a card, a\nthank-you letter, an invitation\u2014they are too numerous to mention.\nIn 1916, the area was created a National Monument and named in honor of\nAdolph Francis Alphonse Bandelier. It has been known as such ever since.\nBut to the \u201cold timers\u201d it is still the \u201cRito\u201d or \u201cEl Rito de Los\nFrijoles.\u201d They remember the times they either walked or came on\nhorseback from the north rim into the boundary valley\u2014the valley between\nancient Keres and Tewa lands\u2014into a Hidden Valley clustered with the\nworks of primitive Indians, the ruins alone being capable of revealing\nthe incidents of a buried and hidden past. Their heads are gray now and\nthey remember with the semblance of tears in their eyes.\nFrom 1916 until 1932, the entire area was under the administration of\nthe United States Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture. At\nthis time it was transferred to the National Park Service, Department of\nthe Interior. Thousands of visitors go to Bandelier every year chiefly\njust to look at this magnificent Valley of the Frijoles. A new modern\nhighway replaces the old trail from the north cliff. The visitor now\ndrives down to the valley floor to spend an hour or so on a tour\nconducted by the National Park Service, to hear the story of how Indians\nlived in the cliff homes and in pueblos long before Columbus discovered\nAmerica. They wonder about cliff dwellers while ravens soar above the\nvalley floor and caw just as they did four hundred years ago. They see\nthe visible remains of the great kiva on the Canyon floor and stroll on\nto Puwige, the big community house. They view over two hundred excavated\nrooms, four hundred years old. They see the narrow passage through the\neast side and the remains of obstructions used to slow down the\nattackers of old. And then they climb to the base of the weathered and\nsun-drenched cliffs where many an Indian woman swept rubbish from her\nkitchen out on to the steep slope and ground many an ear of corn on\ncrude metate. Visitors climb into caves, the floors covered with dust\nand ceilings still blackened with smoke. They push the hands of the\nclock back to the Stone Age, while the Keres to the south go on living\non the banks of the muddy Rio Grande, apparently forgetting that there\never was a Tyuonyi, war or trouble; and while the Tewas to the north,\nhaving settled themselves, seem to have forgotten their ancestral\nhome\u2014the \u201cFrijoles,\u201d the National Park Service strives to protect,\npreserve, and make the ruins in Hidden Valley live again.\n Bandelier, A.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg\nLiterary Archive Foundation\nProject Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide\nspread public support and donations to carry out its mission of\nincreasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be\nfreely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest\narray of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations\n($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt\nstatus with the IRS.\nThe Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating\ncharities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United\nStates. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a\nconsiderable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up\nwith these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations\nwhere we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND\nDONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular\nstate visit www.gutenberg.org/donate\nWhile we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we\nhave not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition\nagainst accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who\napproach us with offers to donate.\nInternational donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make\nany statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from\noutside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.\nPlease check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation\nmethods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other\nways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To\ndonate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate\nSection 5.

Optimum physical and economic conditions for its cultivation in the Netherlands East Indies are:\n\nSoil:\nThe Hevea plant is not particular about the soil type, thriving in sandy soil as well as in well-drained heavy clay, provided it is not too poor in plant nourishment.\n\nSubsoil:\nA sour soil is unsuitable for Hevea cultivation unless it is well drained, with the subterranean water level not exceeding three feet.\nHeva grows best in a warm, humid climate. If necessary, a calcium fertiliser is used. Drainage is achieved through terraces in rolling terrain and is usually unnecessary. Care must be taken to provide ditches or curb-pits to prevent top soil from washing away. Any superabundance of water (over 3\u2019) in the subsoil must be drained or eliminated. Heva grows best near sea level, and elevations over 2000 feet are considered unsatisfactory. Consequently, it is seldom grown in sharply rolling terrain, and the direction of the slope does not need to be taken into consideration. Precipitation is given in measurements taken at Buitenzorg, Java, where the government maintained experimental rubber plantations.\nHevea cultivation requires an ideal environment with an average annual precipitation of 168 inches, an average number of rainy days annually of 238, and an even temperature ranging between 77\u00b0F and 86\u00b0F. Temperature readings are taken at Batavia (at sea level) and Bandoeng (2,346 feet), as ideal elevations for rubber cultivation are found only within these limits.\n\nTemperatures:\nBatavia:\n- Average annual: 77\u00b0F\n- Absolute maximum: N/A\n- Absolute minimum: N/A\n- Average maximum: N/A\n- Average minimum: N/A\n\nBandoeng:\n- Average annual: 79\u00b0F\n- Absolute maximum: 86\u00b0F\n- Absolute minimum: 72\u00b0F\n- Average maximum: 84\u00b0F\n- Average minimum: 74\u00b0F\n\nMethods of Production:\n\u2022 Elevation: As Hevea grows best in a humid, warm climate, sites should be selected based on these conditions.\nAbove sea level, plantations are generally chosen for Hevea cultivation, although some are located in regions a few hundred feet higher. Buitenzorg (873 feet) is considered an excellent center for Hevea cultivation. The growth of Hevea trees is slower at 2000 feet, and tapping takes place later in the tree's life than on plantations at lower altitudes. However, results are otherwise no less favorable.\n\nPreparation of terrain. No great preparation of the soil is necessary. Rolling terrain is terraced and curb pits are dug to prevent topsoil from being washed away. Attention is paid to the accessibility of young trees to soft light and air. Woody areas are well cleared, and all dead wood and stumps are removed to prevent root diseases from attacking the trees. Particular care is taken to pull up all destructive 'alang-alang' reed-grass.\nThe temperature decreases 1\u00b0 every 328 feet during ascent. Seeds of an individual tree are identical, ensuring the propagation of a pure strain of Hovea. At the start of the dry monsoon, leaves turn yellow and fall, leaving the tree bare. This is the shedding of Keva trees. Thereafter, even in the driest season, new green leaves appear, followed by small white blossoms. July and August are blooming times in Java, but in Sumatra the season is different and irregular. Six months later (February in Buitenzoorg), the pods, encased in a black skin, ripen. Each one contains three fairly large seeds. At the moment of ripening, the pod bursts with a loud noise and the seeds are hurled several yards. Around one p.m., when many burst simultaneously, it sounds like a bomb.\nSeeding in the plantation. While seeds can be successfully planted directly in plantations, it is preferable to start the seeds in nursery beds. Seeds are laid horizontally, sown to each other in seed beds, and covered with a layer of reed-grass. As soon as seeds germinate, plants are removed to nursery beds.\n\nTransplanting and spacing. Seedlings are planted about 5 to 6 inches apart in nursery beds, with care taken in the working of nursery beds. Fruitful soil is chosen and beds are laid out in strips about 4 feet long and 1-1/2 feet wide. These beds are net roofed over; at most, a light shadowing is achieved with ferns during the first days.\n\nKava grows quickly in height. If \"stumps\" are desired, tops are cut off. Sometimes in Java and Sumatra, where seed is expensive, the top halves are made into slips and planted. Thus, twice as many plants can be produced.\nPlants in nursery beds are thick enough to make stumps when they are about 8 or 9 months old. The stumps should not be too thick. Plants are pulled out of the ground and cut diagonally through the root and stem with a sharp knife. The cut is sometimes coated with tar. These stumps are very hardy and can be shipped long distances.\n\nSpacing is an important and disputed factor. Currently, most satisfactory results are achieved. Narrow spacing provides more trees per tillage and reduces maintenance costs. A plantation averages about 500 trees per tillage at 12 feet distance. Overcrowding is eliminated by thinning out the least desirable trees. Tight spacing means higher upkeep and a smaller production per area, but this difficulty is largely obviated by inter-planting of \"catch\" trees.\nIn East Java, coffee (Robusta) and Hovea are planted together. Tea is the main catch-crop in East Java. About 80% of the total Hevea cultivation area in the Netherlands East Indies is interspersed with a catch-crops. Other possibilities are Tephrosia purpurea, Crotalaria striata, Mimosa invisa (which also provides free nitrogen fertilizer), Phaseolus lunatus, and Passiflora foetida. The latter two plants have proven successful as they not only cover the ground but also tend to smother weeds.\n\nHevea is planted in holes about 1-1.5 feet square, regardless of the material used, whether stumps or slips. Stumps must be planted at the same depth from which they were removed from the nursery beds. After the young trees are set out, proper maintenance is required.\nNance is essential. Clean-weeding is preferable and proves cheapest in the long run. However, it incurs the danger of top soil washing away when it is bared to the rays of the tropical sun while the trees are young. By the fourth or fifth year, the plantation will be roofed over and the cost of upkeep will drop. Sometimes only a ring around the trees is cleared and the rest of the weeds are scythed from time to time. This method offers less satisfactory results, particularly where the \"alang-alang\" grass grows. In other cases, the garden is mowed and the ground turned over. Again, this is impracticable if there is alang-alang around.\n\nBesides caring for the grounds, attention is paid to the young trees. Where stumps were planted, shoots soon appear. The strongest are kept and after awhile these grow with the trunks, giving a straight appearance.\nUpright tree. Hevea grows upward during the first year, and later the trees put forth branches which are lopped off up to a height of fifteen to sixteen feet. There is danger of crowns getting too heavy, and the boughs breaking off when bared to the wind, resulting in harm to the tree. Therefore, the upper leaves are plucked from the branches. All branches on the lower 10 feet of the trunk are pruned. Great care is taken in pruning. Most of the branch is cut off and the stump is sawed off as flat as possible at the trunk of the tree. The wound is then shaved with a sharp knife and coated with tar. About 30% of all trees under cultivation in Netherlands India are bud grafted.\n\nHarvest: Age of plant at first harvest. The Hevea brasiliensis is generally tapped when the circumference of the tree measures eighteen inches.\nThe inches-long incision is usually made around the fourth or fifth year. Frequency and method of harvest: Successive daily tapping produces more latex than less frequent tapping, as Hovea reacts to wound irritations. Younger trees are not retapped on the same spot for two years, nor older trees within four years. The most successful tapping is achieved by the \"herring-bone\u201d method or the \"half herring-bone\" method. After the trunk has been cleaned, a downward vertical channel, ending in a metal spout, is cut. The sap runs down this incision to a bowl set on the ground underneath the spout. Cuts at a 30\u00b0 to 45\u00b0 angle lead into this center cut. The side cuts are staggered alternately from the left or the right of the middle channel. Another system is to join the side cuts in a V at the center incision. It has been observed that the left side produces more sap.\nDunes have more sap than the right, when tapping a tree, it is customary to make two cuts on either side, reaching about one quarter of the way around the tree. The center cut reaches up to about three feet from the ground. The strips of bark removed from the tree are made as thin as possible to avoid damage to the tree. Profitable tapping results from a thickness of 1.25 mm for rot tapping or 1.50 mm for dry tapping, depending on the experience of the tappers. Each time the bark renews itself on the tree, it is one to two millimeters thinner. It is advisable to make all successive cuts the same length and parallel to the originals. Inexperienced tappers tend to damage the trees by removing bark of too great thickness, harming the cambium and exposing the wood, or else they cut so shallowly that no latex flows from the tree.\nTapping should be done as early as possible in the morning, except during rain. The tapper, often aided by a lad, places the container under the spout and makes the incisions. In some instances, the cut is dampened to increase the flow of sap. Once the flow of latex ceases, the sap is poured from the container into enameled pails, sometimes through a sieve to segregate coagulated rubber. These are transported to the factory. In hilly or terraced terrain, transportation is more difficult. Closed pails are used which are carried by pack animals, for latex that coagulates on the tree is collected for scrap - later in the afternoon or the following day. The shavings from the bark are also salvaged to be worked into rubber, as is the latex that fell to the ground and is collected as \"earth rubber\".\nIn Java, the nprickern - a small rod with sharp points - is used. This tool absorbs the incision, initiating a flow of sap without tearing the tree. The variety and number of tapping knives in the Netherlands Indies is legion, with new ones constantly being invented. As it is considered unwise to give natives complicated mechanical instruments with screws, etc., the knives must be simple to handle and easily honed. A simple gouge or hollow chisel, about a half inch wide, is frequently used. A narrower, curved tool is used for smaller trees. A very popular instrument is the sharp, curved MjcbongM knife. An equally large variety of containers or bowls is made of tin, pressed steel, aluminum, papier mach\u00e9, etc.\nSkilled tappers average about 1000 tappings a day, depending on the number of trees in the area and previous cuts in the tree. Though recently, molded round glass bowls with conical bases have been widely used. These can be set right into the ground and have the further advantage of being easily cleaned.\n\nPrimary Processing:\nPlantations at some distance from factories often have coagulation houses on the premises. The coagulated latex is then sent to the factories for further processing. In other cases, the latex is transported directly to the factory where the sap is cleaned and all lumps removed. The cleansed latex is carefully filtered. First, it is poured through a coarse sieve of fine copper gauze, then through a finer mesh. From the sieve, it flows to a basin along a slightly inclined runway.\nThe latex is thinned with water until the rubber content reaches 15%. Acetic acid is added to force coagulation, and in some factories, formic acid is used as a catalyst. Conditions affecting coagulation include rubber content, temperature, movement of the liquid, etc.\n\nTo coagulate latex for the manufacture of sheet rubber, BO cubic centimeters of 1% acetic acid per liter of latex (thinned to 15% rubber content) are added. The latex is coagulated in square flat pans and is briskly stirred while congealing. The coagulated rubber is removed from the pan, placed on a slanting table, and rolled out with a roller or pressed in a mangle or a rotating machine with rollers working at equal speeds. Sometimes the sheets are finished in a press with spiral or other grooves which imprint a pattern. Finally, the finished sheets are brushed off.\nTo make crepe rubber: add 16 cc of 5% acetic acid per liter of latex. Use a little less acid if not working immediately. To create a light-colored crepe, add one gram of natrium bisulfite per liter of latex before adding the acetic acid. Coagulation occurs in wooden or glazed earthenware bowls, or \"Shanghai jars.\" The coagulated pieces are removed from the vats and passed through a creping machine. This machine is a rotating device with grooved rollers traveling at various speeds. The rubber is first pressed by a deeply grooved roller, then by a shallow grooved roller, and finally by an ungrooved roller. The sheets undergo this process while being thoroughly washed off with water to eliminate acetic acid. The resulting crepe is obtained.\nproducts are 2 millimeter-thick, rough-surfaced sheets of crepe rubber. Sheet rubber and crepe rubber are both dried in dark rooms usually at existing temperatures of around 30\u00b0 C. The use of ventilators is advisable. In some instances, heated drying rooms at 50\u00b0 C, or heated vacuum dryers are used. In other instances, the rubber may be smoked. In still other cases, the latex is processed into block rubber.\n\nII. PRODUCTION\nRubber production per tillage is 1:\n\nIII. DEVIATIONS FROM OPTIMUM PHYSICAL CONDITIONS\n\nVariations in soil and subsoil:\nHevea brasiliensis may be grown in varied soils. It flourishes as well in sandy soil as in clay or loam.\n\nVariations in drainage:\nThe trees will not grow as well in a water-logged subsoil. Otherwise, as a rule, no drainage is undertaken as this is too costly.\n\n\u2019 Direction of slope.\nSlopes should not be bared to the wind due to the danger that the top-heavy boughs of young trees will break off. Hevea is grown on level ground as much as possible. Each bourr contains about 500 trees and covers an area of 1.75 acres.\n\nVariation in rainfall:\nTrees may not be tapped during rainfall.\n\nUnfavorable temperature:\nHevea grows best in a warm, humid climate. Growth is retarded and tapping is postponed as temperatures drop below the optimum 80\u00b0 F.\n\nIV. DISEASES\n\nLeaf diseases:\nPlants in nursery beds are sometimes infected by a mold, Hclmintho sp. Haveae Fetch, which causes little damage. Bouillie bordelaise is a good remedy for combatting this. Otherwise, no noticeable disease has ever attacked the Hevea leaf in Java.\n\nRoot diseases:\nAccording to Fetch, the Ceylon government mycologist, there\nThree root diseases afflict Hevea trees, recognizable after the tree has died. 1. If dead roots are covered with white threads, forming a superficial film or thick cords (white or yellowish), the tree was infected by Fomes semitostus. 2. If the root is incrusted by a mass of sand and gravel held together by brown or black mycelium, Hymonochaete noxia was the culprit. 3. When the root is outwardly clean but dead, and dark red or black strands appear between the wood and bark, the tree was infected by Sphacelotheca responsa. To prevent root diseases, forest tree stumps must be dug out during land clearing. When Fomes semitostus attacks a tree, the infection begins on the roots.\nThe mycelium grows through the side root; when the tree is infected, the leaves wither and it falls down shortly. It is advisable to dig out such roots and burn them. In Sumatra, the roots of young Kevea trees showing traces of this disease are bared and treated with \"carbolineum.\"\n\nPetch mentions certain trunk diseases of Kevea, such as \"cancer,\" caused by Phytophthora faberi; the \"red sickness\" from Corticium salmonicolor and Corticium javanicum; \"dieback\" as a result of Botryodiplodia theobromae; a black cancer from a sort of Fusicladium; and finally, a trunk cancer, accredited to Coniothyrium spec. Another harmful disease resembles \"djamoer cepas\" (or else identical with this), caused by Corticium javanicum.\n\nAn infection caused by Ustulina zonata is feared as a serious disease.\nThe cancer caused by Phytophthora Faberi appears in two forms: bark cancer or striped cancer. The first affects the trunk, generally near the ground, while the latter infects the bark of the tapping surface. Even the fruit are infected (fruit rot). To avert cancer, the same precautions are taken as for any mold disease: drainage, working the soil, accessibility of light through thinning and pruning. Treatment with a 5 percent carbolineum solution, which can also be used as a prophylaxis, is recommended for both types of cancer, as well as for djamoer oepas.\n\nA comparatively rare phenomenon in young Hevea plantations is the fasciation of trunk and branches. That is, some trees (according to Fetch about 1 in 10,000) have unusual malformations, in which the extremities of trunk and branches are curved and flattened.\nassemble a bishop's staff or crosier.\n\nAnimal enemies: white ants, rats and deer cause no little damage in young plantations. Trees also fall victim to borers.\n\nTABLE OF SOURCES\n\"Dr. K. W. van Gorkom\u2019s \u2018Oost-Indische Cultures, \u2019 edited by Dr. H. C.

The agave plants have practically no trunk; they have long roots, stiff, fibrous, blue-green leaves with smooth or thorny edges, and funnel-shaped flowers.\n\nAgave fourcroydes produces the true henequen and is also known as white sisal. The leaf is always sea-green (grav-blue), straight and stiff, and about 40-60 cm long and approximately 3 inches wide in the middle, tapering off to an inch-long thorn at the point. The leaf is edged with short curved thorns (3-4 mm). The peduncle is 13-25 feet high and has fairly strong horizontal branches with thick clusters of flowers at the ends. These flowers form the seed pods. The base of the plant\nHenequen is 20 to 60 inches tall and 10 to 15 inches thick. Henequen grows only in a warm, dry climate and requires loose, permeable, calcareous ground. The life span of this plant ranges from ten to twenty-five years. Under good conditions, the leaf yields 4-5 percent clean, dry fiber. Henequen is grown from suckers, bulbils, or seed. In practice, only suckers are used. Agave sisalana (Syn. A. rigida sisalana) is 'the green sisal. The leaf is dark green or light sea-green and is straight but less stiff than agave fourcroydes. It is 40 inches to 70 feet long and 3 to 5 inches wide in the middle, tapering off to a thin thorn, about an inch in length. There are generally no edge thorns; any that may exist are small and curved. The flower stalk is 13 to 25 feet tall with slender branches. Blossoms are about two inches in diameter.\nSisal grows with long and formless bulbils, but never seed pods. Sisal seldom develops a definite trunk. Sisal grows best in a dry climate in permeable, lime soil. Sisal requires more space for cultivation than henequen. Favorable conditions will produce a leaf having 3-5% of clean, dry fiber, whiter and stronger than henequen. Propagation is by means of suckers or bulbils. Suckers are preferred although bulbils are easier to transport.\n\nII. CONDITIONS OF GROWTH AND HARVESTING\n\nSoil:\nA dry, sandy soil about 8 inches deep, in an arid, stony region is ideal for agave cultivation and produces the greatest fiber content. The plant will grow in a richer soil but the fiber content of the leaves will diminish. Agave will also grow in poor soil but upkeep costs are higher.\n\nSubsoil:\nA permeable, calcareous subsoil with a limestone base is particularly suitable.\n\nDrainage:\nThe arid regions and the nature of the soil best suited to agava cultivation eliminate the necessity for drainage. Subterranean water deposits must, however, be avoided or drained. Agava grows best on level terrain as near as possible to sea level.\n\nRainfall\nThe least possible rainfall is desired as agava leaves draw their essential moisture requirements from the air and the roots are extremely sensitive to heavy rains. The optimum desirable rainfall would not exceed 50 inches annually.\n\nTemperature\nOptimum temperatures for agava cultivation range from 80\u00b0 F to 97\u00b0 F. A high relative humidity is essential, preferably 73-89% RH. Agava will not flourish in shady regions as the leaves have a tendency to turn red when shadowed.\n\nMethods of Production\nSeeding. Agava is practically never grown from seed.\nPropagation takes place by means of bulbils or suckers. When bulbils reach a length of five to six inches, they fall off the plant. These are then planted in nurseries 18 inches apart in rows of eight to ten inches. During the early days, plants are sprinkled when necessary. At the end of a year, plants are about 18 inches tall and are \"ready to be transplanted. Nursery beds have a permeable soil, well cleared, and free of stones. Suckers are even better than bulbils. In its second or third year, the agave plant outgrows subterranean suckers which form individual plants about 35 to 40 inches from the mother plant, from which they receive nourishment. Those are removed to protect the mother plant from loss, although one or two are generally left to replace the original plant if it dies off. The newly planted agaves.\nPlants are about 20 inches high and can be planted directly in gardens after being cut off. Scalier plants are first set out in nursery beds, often remaining for up to two years before they can be satisfactorily transplanted.\n\nTransplanting: Before being transplanted, all roots are amputated and the young plant is left in the sun for about one month with the wounds upward, causing them to heal more quickly and alleviating chances of root diseases. Suckers are set out in nurseries 16 inches by 20 inches apart or 20 x 20 inches. Plants are taken to full ground when 16 to 18 inches tall.\n\nSpacing: Agave plantations are set out 4 feet x 41 inches (5 feet x 5 feet).\n\nMaintenance: Pits should not be too big. These are generally 20 inches- except with a diameter of 10 inches. Plants from nursery beds are set in the holes and supported by stones.\nGood maintenance and fertilizing are desirable, though not essential. During the two years following transplanting, there is nothing to be done except keep the terrain cleared. Other crops are not interplanted among agave.\n\nHarvest:\n\nAgave raised from seed cannot be harvested for ten years, while plants grown from bulbils are ready after seven years and those originating from suckers are harvestable at 5 or 6 years.\n\nIn Java, loaves are often cut after three or four years but older plants produce longer fibers. Three-year-old plants yield 3-3% fiber, whereas six- to seven-year-old plants produce 4-4.5% fiber. In practice, the first cut is not made until lower leaves measure 20 inches and in Java, leaves measure 6 feet by the fourth year. Three or four harvests can be obtained.\nAnnually, leaves are produced on each agave plant in Java, approximately 30 per plant. The best time for harvesting is during the dry season, but after a prolonged drought, the leaf becomes stiff and difficult to defiber. Intervals between cutting depend on the degree of ripeness of the loaves.\n\nCuts are made with a small knife or grass knife, as close as possible to the stem. The knife is pulled through from top to bottom of a loaf, and any side thorns are removed. Damaged loaves are left behind, but those with occasional spots are taken. Crops are tied in bundles of 50 loaves. Harvesting continues until the death of the plant, which lasts over a period of about seven years. Women and children are frequently employed for this task.\n\nAgave leaves amount to over 5% of the total production.\n\n(Note: There were no significant OCR errors or meaningless content in the text that required removal.)\nFactories should be nearby for ballast transportation, as costs should be minimized by not transporting over long distances. Water must be available in the vicinity, which is a prime consideration. Loaves must be processed immediately upon arrival at the factory to prevent discoloration, which will not disappear through sun bleaching after 24 hours.\n\nFiber extraction can be accomplished by various methods. Small plantations rot loaves in still water, allowing bacteria to develop and dissolve the binder. Once the fiber bundles are freed and softened, the tissue is isolated. Care must be taken not to leave the loaves too long in the water or too short a time for proper processing. Leaves are bruised before being placed in the water. Pieces of limestone are then placed in the pans to neutralize the acid content.\nThe system of extracting fiber by hand produces the finest fibers. A man can extract about 6-9 pounds of hemp daily with simple and primitive equipment.\n\nSmall manually operated defiboring machines are in general use, among them the \"Dofibrcur-Duchcmin.\" The number of semi-automatic machines is legion. The small machine has a single or double grater (raspador). A raspador consists of a drum about one foot long and 40 inches in diameter on which there are a number of du1! blades as numerous as the axle. The drum rests in a frame attached to a moveable block in such a way that the leaf is pressed against the fast-rotating drum. A leaf is inserted between block and drum, and is beaten to a pulp by the knives.\n\nAutomatic installations require larger machines similar in design.\nThe construction of the \"Raspador\" involves the use of other machines such as the \"Prieto\" and \"Ncu-Corona\" (Pried Xrupp A.-G.). Fiber emitting from the machines is either unloaded or allowed to rot for 24 hours, then wrung out or thrown off by centrifugal force. The fiber is then dried and bleached in the sun on bamboo frames. Sun drying is not always practical for large installations, and artificial drying must be resorted to.\n\nDried fibers are further processed using a brushing machine, which is built on the principle of the \"Raspador,\" with stiff brushes instead of blades. A 1% loss results from the processing, and manual processing by hands diminishes the paste.\n\nCleaned fibers are crossed in bales of 440 to 550 pounds. Oil or tobacco presses are used for this operation. Fibers should be laid straight and never bent or folded. Tobacco mats.\nIII. Production\nIn Java, agave produces approximately 1-1.5 tons per \"bouu\" (tillage) annually. Under particularly favorable conditions, production may reach up to 2 tons. Approximately 2000 pounds of fiber per acre, from 1000 plants, can be expected annually at maximum production.\nT/T bouu = 1.75 acres\n\nIV. Effects of Deviation from Optimal Conditions\n\nSoil:\nA richer soil will not hinder the growth of agave plants. Although the fiber content shrinks significantly in fertile soil, the increased quantity of loaf somewhat compensates for this loss in quality.\n\nSubsoil:\nAgave grows poorly in a sandy subsoil and equally poorly in a pure clay subsoil.\n\nDrainage:\nWhile the nature of Java's soil is most suited to agave cultivation obviates the necessity for drainage, nevertheless, stagnant subterranean water is extremely harmful as the roots cannot stand a large amount of moisture.\n\nRainfall:\nRoots are sensitive to heavy rains and succumb quickly.\n\nTemperature:\nTemperatures in the Netherlands Indies never rise above the maximum temperature range for agave cultivation (97\u00b0 F.) and the average temperature of about 80\u00b0 F. prevalent in Java seldom varies to any great degree.\n\nV. DISEASE:\nSickness and pests attacking agave plants are unknown in Java. Lightning causes damage, and spots on leaves result from excessive heat and dryness. The light rod color, sometimes noticed on agave leaves, is believed due to insufficient drainage of the ground.\n\nTABLE OF SOURCES:\n\"Dr. K.

Conditions of Growth and Harvesting\n\nOptimum physical and economic conditions under which the coconut palm (Cocus Nucifera L) grows in the Netherlands Indies.\nThe preferred soil for coconut cultivation is a light, porous one with a good humus layer. Sandy soil along beaches is satisfactory. The vicinity of the sea has no detrimental effect on the growth of this plant.\n\nThe ideal subsoil for coconut palms is loamy sand soil found in alluvial coastal regions, or old forest ground with sandy subsoil. The earth should be well drained.\n\nThe coconut palm requires much water and from time to time the ground may be completely inundated, provided it is sufficiently porous to drain rapidly, so that the roots will not be submerged for too long periods.\n\nCoconut trees grow best on the plains. The maximum elevation suitable for cultivation is approximately 300 meters.\n\nThe Cocus nucifera requires an abundance of rain.\nMinimum rainfall requirements are estimated at 79 inches. Irrigation is available for lesser precipitation. The average annual rainfall of 71 inches for Batavia is typical of all coastal regions in Java. Following are the precipitation averages at Batavia (sea level):\n\nAverage annual precipitation: 71 inches\nNumber of rainy days annually: 135\nSeasonal distribution in inches\nMay: 6.1, June: 5.9, July: 5.8, August: 5.7, September: 5.6,\nOctober: 5.5, November: 5.4, December: 5.3, January: 5.2, February: 5.1, March: 5.0, April: 4.9\n\nThe coconut palm is a true tropical plant requiring an abundance of sun and warmth with the greatest possible even distribution. This palm grows more slowly in the interior and bears fruit less rapidly as the temperature drops with increased elevation. The boundary of fruitfulness is reached at 2600 - 3300 feet. The optimum average temperature:\n\nAverage annual temperature: [Missing]\nThe maximum and minimum values for Absolute maximum and minimum are 48.6 and 83r*, respectively, for the average annual sunshine and relative humidity at Batavia.\n\nCoconut cultivation is predominantly managed by natives. Two methods of production exist in the archipelago: estate production and native cultivation. The latter is less systematic and scientific. Native cultivators can easily obtain the best seed by selecting well-ripened nuts with the most developed nuts, which is typically the lowest in a clump. These are then hung in homes or sheds to sprout. However, it is preferable to let the roots develop in their natural environment. The first leaf appears after three months, by which time the roots have pushed through the fibrous shell.\nAt this stage, nuts can be planted directly in the clearing chosen for the plantation but they are generally set out in nurseries where they are afforded protection from strong sunshine and wild pigs. Nine months later, the young trees are planted in previously prepared holes. The tendency is to plant trees more closely than is advisable in order to obtain greater production per area, despite all education along these lines. Estate production is undertaken on a more scientific basis:\n\nSeeding. It is more difficult to pick out the choicest seed in large-scale cultivation, therefore seed is obtained from regions known to give the best production. Nuts are planted directly in nursery beds. Suitable, well-drained ground near water is chosen. After the ground is worked and cleared of weeds or rocks, the nuts are placed in the ground, evenly.\nNuts are spaced 20 inches apart. The nuts all lie in the same direction, with the length-wise axle horizontal and the seed opening on top. The intervening spaces are filled with loose earth mixed with ash to prevent vermin. Cooking salt is sometimes used instead of ash, but too much salt is harmful. Nursery beds require great attention. They must be watered regularly in the dry season and provision made for shading the young plants from the direct rays of the sun. Shading is arranged so that the plants have been accustomed to the sun by the time they are transplanted. It is essential that plants be well cleared to control vermin. Plots are forced in as protection against outside enemies. About 30 percent more nuts are planted than required, and those which have not sprouted or which produce unsatisfactory plants are dispensed with.\nTransplanting is done at the beginning of the rainy season. The terrain to which young plants are moved must be completely cleared, with all tree stumps and roots dug up and destroyed. Holes dug for 1 to 3 year old trees are forty inches long, wide, and deep. The developed roots can then spread out. The hole is lined with stable dung or vegetable humus mixed with the excavated top soil. Plants are carefully dug out of beds with as much adhering soil as possible and placed in holes in the same position as they stood in nursery beds, with the top of the nut just below the surface of the ground. Holes are filled in with the excavated earth which is carefully pressed down. Unless it rains immediately, seedlings must be watered directly after transplanting takes place.\nPlants left in nurseries provide material to replace trees failing to survive transplanting or showing unsatisfactory growth.\n\nSpacing. Coconut trees are planted in straight rows forming squares or rhomboidally. The question of spacing is controversial, as a spacing of 23 feet provides double the quantity of trees planted at 33 feet. A distance of 23 feet is too small as this does not allow sufficient light and air for full-grown trees.\n\nCultivation. Native cultivation seldom includes any great maintenance. As a rule, the natives merely keep the reeds down. The habit of cutting foot treads in the trees, while inadvisable, is common in native undertakings.\n\nIn large-scale enterprises, while it is generally desirable to keep the ground around each tree well cleared, this is neither possible nor desired during the first years.\nThe unshadowed ground is too quickly dried out by the tropical sun's rays. Later, as palms spread out, their shadows help keep the ground clean. Grazing cattle also help in keeping the ground cleared.\n\nThe top layer of soil is loosened from tine to tine to permit infiltration of light and easing of gas rotation in the ground.\n\nThe trees require certain maintenance. Falling leaves and dried blossom sheaths must be removed, and \"air roots\" eliminated from the bulging lower trunk. Such refuse is removed from the plot and left to decompose for fertilizer. Decomposition of cleared-out plants provides a better fertilizer than when they are reduced to ash with a resulting loss of nitrogen.\n\nCoconut trees bloom all year and consequently bear fruit at all times. The number of nuts on a cluster varies.\nThe smaller the fruit, the more there are on a bunch. An average of eight medium-sized nuts to a cluster is not unusual for natives. Those with a few trees for their own use harvest them at will. Those with larger plantations pluck the fruit every 35 days, or \"Djoemaha.t Kliwon.\" Ripe coconuts are cut or twisted off and dropped to the ground. In Sumatra, monkeys are timed as coconut pickers. In Sumatra, hired workers are paid one coconut per completely picked tree. In Java, the rate is two nuts to a tree. The larger plantations are harvested regularly every month or two months. The picking takes place in the same manner.\n\nUnder normal conditions, trees bear their first fruit in the seventh or eighth year, but a full harvest cannot be obtained until maturity, which is around the twelfth year.\nCopra preparation involves using well-ripened nuts and drying them in the sun. Freshly plucked nuts are spread out with the open side up in full sunshine for drying. Although copra can be dried artificially, in Java, it is usually sun dried. During showers and at night, boards on which the nuts are drying are rolled under a raised roof. Under a strong sun, drying takes about five days. Interruptions due to rain or other causes have a detrimental effect on quality. Additionally, natural moisture and coconut milk inside the kernel make preliminary drying necessary.\nInner moisture evaporates slowly and kernels are often damp when copra superficially appears to be well dried. First quality copra is light in color, hard and solid. It should not mold nor contain sand, earth or other impurities. Although sun dried copra is preferred, kiln drying is used as an alternate method. This only requires 24 hours at 70\u00b0C. however, kiln dried copra is darker and less valuable due to the smoky odor. In Java, an average of 5000 coconuts are required to produce one ton of copra. Copra is sifted and cleaned of all impurities and dirt. It is then broken up, grated and finely ground. The meal is warmed up, moistened and pressed in hydraulic presses. The oil thus obtained is filtered and packed in containers. The pressed meal or cake is used as fuel or animal feed.\nCattle feed consists of approximately 62% oil and 34% cake. Fiber is the third product of the coconut and is used in the manufacture of ropes and mats. The fibrous shell is left to rot in stagnant or moving water, or buried in the ground. After about four months, the material binding the fiber together disintegrates. Fiber is then beaten with a piece of wood, twisted or wrung by hand, and dried in the sun.\n\nThe longest fibers are used in the manufacture of brooms and brushes; shorter fibers are used to fill cushions or are worked into yarn or into a rope which is spun for its lightness, strength, and resistance to sea water. Mats are also manufactured of coconut fiber. About 40 nuts are necessary to produce seven pounds of fiber.\n\nGrated coconut is pure white.\nCoconut is carefully prepared from divided ripe nuts. After shelling and opening, the brown covering skin is removed, and the kernel is washed off as the adhering milk turns the meat yellow. The pieces are ground by a disintegrator or by moans of grating, circular saws, and cutting machines. The grated coconut is dried in hot ovens and packed in tins. When mixed with water, this product is similar in every respect to fresh grated coconut.\n\nApproximately 6,700 nuts are necessary to manufacture one ton of desiccated coconut.\n\nII. PRODUCTION\n\nCoconut trees produce fruit after the seventh year but a regular harvest is not obtained until the tenth year; in some instances, not until the fifteenth year. Maximum productivity is reached after the fifteenth year and remains fairly constant until the tree is seventy years old.\nThe life span of a carefully tended tree is roughly estimated at one century. An untended tree will barely yield 20 coconuts a year. In well-maintained plantations, trees will produce 50 to 60 nuts annually, and it is not unusual for trees in a carefully tended, well-fertilized plot to yield around 80 to 100 coconuts. In particularly fertile districts, a tree may produce as high as 150 nuts a year.\n\nAt 50 coconuts per tree, spaced at 26 feet, production averages over 3000 nuts annually for the 64 trees per acre. At 44 trees per acre, the yield is over 2000 coconuts. In the Netherlands Indies, an average annual production is one ton of copra per plot.\n\nFigured at approximately 7800 coconuts from 156 trees per hectare.\n\nVariations in soil and subsoil.\nHeavy clay, marshy land, and turf ground are unsuitable for coconut tree cultivation. Barren, arid, sandy beaches are equally unsatisfactory.\n\nVariations in drainage:\nBlooded grounds will not affect trees, but it is essential that the ground drains quickly and thoroughly.\nVariation of slope:\nCoconut palms thrive best on level ground, and growth is unsatisfactory above a few hundred feet.\nVariation in rainfall:\nProlonged, severe droughts will prevent trees from bearing fruit for their duration. While coconut trees bloom all year, blossoms appear at longer intervals during the East Monsoon than in the rainy season, and trees put off blossoming entirely during protracted dry spells.\nVariation in temperature:\nBeing a true tropical tree, the coconut palm becomes unproductive when the temperature drops more than a few degrees below the optimum.\n\nIV. ANIMAL PESTS AND DISEASES\nMuch destruction in young plantations is caused by monkeys and wild pigs which root up the ground and eat young leaves. Coconut rats, a type of squirrel, eat the fruit on coconut trees. They nest in the crown of the palms and multiply rapidly. To prevent rats climbing the trees, tin bands or collars are nailed around the lower trunk of trees; then the pests are cleared out of the palms. As they can jump great distances, all nearby trees must be cleared out in the same manner. Poison is also effectively used.\n\nWhite ants cause much damage by boring into the fibrous shell and eating away the fruit. To combat ants, trees are sprayed with carbon sulphur.\n\nMost destructive of all are the beetles, primarily the Ehynchophorus. Although this beetle does no damage when full grown, it lays its eggs in wounds in the palms and the larvae feed on the sap, causing significant damage.\nBurrow into the leaf. The best preventative is to keep the palms undamaged as much as possible and coat all wounds with coal tar. The worst enemy of the coconut palm is Oryctes Rhinoceros. In nursery beds, this beetle digs a channel in the ground until it reaches the sprouting plant. When attacking trees, it burrows into the heart of the plant, starting where the palm joins the trunk, causing the palms to droop. The insects fly around at sunset and land on the trees where they settle down and dig in during the night. Remedial measures include:\n\n1. Seeking out and destroying beetles, larvae, and eggs.\n2. Laying out artificial breeding places where insects can be killed or burned every six weeks.\n3. Cleaning up all breeding places such as dead trees, manure heaps, rotten leaves, etc., where eggs can be laid.\nCoconut trees suffer little from sickness. The only disease prevalent in the Netherlands East Indies is a mold caused by Pestalozzia palnarun Cooke. The best cure for this is \"Bordeau Pap\" or cutting off and burning affected leaves.\n\nSources:\nDr. K.W. van Gorkom, \"Oost-Indische Cultures,\" edited by Dr. H.C. Prinsen Geerligs, Vols.

Tapioca (Cassava)\n\nI. Conditions of Growth\nAnd Harvesting: This study includes the two types of cassava generally cultivated in the NEI: bitter cassava (Nanihot utilissima Pohl and sweet cassava (Manihot palmata Hueller). Cassava grows on all islands of the archipelago. In sawahs, it is grown as a secondary crop and in non-inundated areas as a main crop. Cassava flourishes on the beaches or in the mountains (3000 feet). The plant belongs to the order of Tricoccae of the Euphorbiaceae family and is of the Manihot type.\n\nCassava is a perennial shrub-like plant with thick, hard, turnip-shaped roots, 15 to 20 inches long. The root is rich in starch and contains a milky poison which is eliminated by washing or heating. Propagation takes place by means of slips or cuttings.\n\nCassava is grown under the following conditions in the archipelago:\n\nSoil: Light, sandy soil is chosen. Ground must be workable.\ndeeply tilled, and the earth loosened. Sand, mixed with loam \nand humus is a satisfactory soil. As cassava draws substantial \ncuantities of potash and phosphoric-acid out of the soil, suf\u00ac \nficient fertilizer containing these elements must he frequently \napplied. \nSubsoil \nSubsoil should be permeable as roots are sensitive to damo- \nness. \nDrainage \nSoil must be well drained as roots ^ill not develop in ex' \ncessive moisture. \nDirection of Slone \nCassava plants ~ive a better nrod.uction on level term- \nrain, but will grow at elevations up to 2,500 feet. \nRainfall \nPrecipitation measurements at Batavia and 3ardoeng are as \nfollows : \nBatavia Bandoeng \nAverage annual precipitation \nnumber of rainy 135 \ndays \nTemperature \nCassava cultivation requires a \"\"arm, damp. climate to pro\u00ac \nduce the maximum starch content. Bulk development decreases in \nShady areas. Temperature readings are given for Batavia at sea level and Bandoeng at 2,400 feet:\n\nBatavia \tBandoeng\nAverage annual \tmaximum \tminimum \tAbsolute maximum \tminimum \tAverage annual sunshine \t\" rainfall\n\nMethods of Production:\n\nCultivation in Java is almost entirely confined to white cassava, the roots of which have a low prussic acid containing glucose content.\n\nSeeding. Planting is accomplished during both East and West monsoons. Propagation is by means of slips, 8 to 15 inches long, with 2 or 3 \"eyes\u201d, cut or sawed from the parent stem. Upper cuttings give inferior plant material. Slips should be cut shortly before planting as they dry out quickly. The cut edges are smoothed off. Cuttings are planted vertically, or at a slight incline, in rows running North-South in previously prepared and deeply tilled soil. Plants prefer a well-drained, loose earth.\nThe end of the rainy season is preferred for planting. Directly in the field, spacing: In fertile ground, plants are set out 4 feet x 3 feet in arrangement; and in light soil, 2 feet x 3 feet or 2 feet x 2 feet. Cultivation: Two or three slips are often planted together. In a few months, shoots appear, and the whole field is soon covered. The ground is carefully weeded during the first period, but once the ground is shaded, no other care is necessary than periodical hoeing between the rows to loosen the soil. A small wooden plow is often employed for this operation. Plants are prevented from flowering by removing flower buds. Occasional pruning of branches improves the growth of roots. Harvest: The optimum harvesting period is not exactly defined. To a certain stage, the longer the roots remain in the ground, the better.\nThe starch content decreases after a certain point in the development of the crop. In level terrain, it is harvested around eight or nine months after planting. Harvests are later in the mountains. Roots are dug up or pulled out by the 1st - l-j' stem remaining after the plant has been felled. Roots are cut off the trunk and transported to the factories.\n\nPrimavera Processing:\n\nGanlek. This product is prepared in the NEI from fresh cassava roots. Peeled and dried roots are quartered, and each quart is cut into three or four lengthwise pieces. These pieces are well washed and dried in the sun for 5 to 6 days, after which the product is ready to be exported as \"ganlek.\" If it is not well dried, it will mold quickly.\n\nGanlek is also produced in flake form; this, too, is washed.\nIn clean running water and dried in the sun, the drying process is important as fresh cassava roots contain 50-70 percent water, whereas the moisture content of good ganlek is around 15 percent. Every two tons of fresh, pooled roots will produce one ton of Ganlek Flour. To produce this product, the yam is finely ground into a meal. The quality of the ganlek used is of considerable importance. Mouldy and dirty ganlek produces a doughy meal, while carefully prepared ganlek will give a white meal when milled.\n\nBefore 1927, only ganlek was exported and this was milled at its destination. Since that time, milling has been done at the point of origin because:\n\n1. Ganlek meal is less voluminous than ganlek, thus lowering transportation costs.\n2. Ganlek can be milled more cheaply in Java due to low wages, thus reducing the price of the flour.\nTapioca Flour. In the NE, tapioca flour is scientifically prepared according to strict methods, even in the smallest enterprises, most of which are in the hands of the Chinese. Tapioca flour is prepared from:\n1. Fresh Cassava roots from plantations\n2. Fresh Cassava roots from native holdings\n3. Native meal delivered met to small factories\n4. Native meal, delivered dry to small factories\n5. Gaplck\n6. Gaplok meal\n\nTapioca flour, prepared from selected roots (scientifically prepared and rapidly transported to factories after harvesting), is a fairly pure starch product. Standards of purity are based on color, viscosity, and carbohydrate content. This product naturally brings a higher price.\n\nTapioca flour, prepared from roots purchased from native holdings, is also a practically European starch product, but of lower quality.\nIt is of greatest importance that roots be kept in a fresh state. The primary preparation for all roots involves washing and grating the unpeeled roots. After grating, the starch is thinned with water, sieved, and impurities are removed. The remaining mass is placed in settling pans, allowing the material to run off, leaving only flour after moisture has evaporated. The top and bottom of the cakes are scraped off. The cleaned flour cakes are then mashed and stirred in stirring vats before being returned to the sediment pans. The final operation is the drying of the flour thus produced, either in the sun or artificially.\nTho small buyers enterprises generally use native meal, they first drive it clean. It is then dried and sifted, becoming iapio flour under their trade names. Sometimes, this is bought up by large factories and purified and refined. Due to the lapse of time during processing, this is generally an unsatisfactory product of low quality and each individual lot shows great variations.\n\nThe dry native meal, prepared and dried on the spot, is bought by traders. Because of the preparation and cleaning, which consists only of grinding and boiling, this product is of even lower quality than the grades listed above.\n\nThe scientific preparation of tapioca flour from cassava is similar to the methods used in preparing it from fresh roots. There is a reluctance to purchasing this in the US.\nwhen properly prepared, gaplek is similar in all details to tapioca flour prepared from fresh roots. Preparation involves milling or grating the gaplek to open the cells. The opened cells are then washed and sifted to clean out the \"annas.\" Starch is derived by letting the flour milk settle.\n\nPreparation of tapioca flour from gaplek meal is invisible as it is difficult to clean thoroughly. Particles of fibrous waste, fine sand, and clay pieces cannot be avoided, even by careful sieving. The product inevitably has a grayish color.\n\nTapioca Flakes and Siftings. Preparation of flakes and siftings requires first-quality factory flour. The moist tapioca flour is heated in pans until it adheres to the metal. The mass is scraped loose until the flour curdles and stiffens, at which point it is partially transparent. After the product is formed, it is cut into flakes and the siftings are collected.\ncools it is sifted into flakes and siftings, Tapioca Pearl and Seeds. This is prepared from half-moist first quality tapioca flour. The moist flour is pressed through a coarse sieve and placed in an open-end sack of twilled cloth, shaken hither and thither by two people, until small or large balls result, according to the length of time pursued. When the required size seeds or pearls is attained, the product is sifted. After which, the moist seeds or pearls are heated in an iron pen. When cooled and dried, the pearls result and are sifted to medium, small and seed pearls. A mechanical method has been evolved for this process through the use of evenly heated, rotating drums. Carob is given to keep the desired color (white and opalescent) and to ensure that the grains do not break in cooking.\nAmpas is the waste from the preparation of flour, which is dried and used in lump, fragment, or ground form, known as \"ampas.\" Ampas imported in England may not have a paw fiber content higher than 8 percent.\n\nUses of Cassava Products\n\nThe different cassava products have various uses. Gaplek and gaplck meal are practically the same thing and are used for the same purposes. In cakes, this is an important cattle feed. Gaplek is also used in industry for the preparation of industrial alcohol and glucose. Where molasses is plentiful, cassava is not used due to higher production costs.\n\nGaplek is also important as a human foodstuff. When rice is scarce and dear, gaplek is largely consumed. It cannot be used as a primary foodstuff, however, due to the low protein and fat content.\n\nTapioca flour also has various uses. Besides being a food.\nThe base of finer tapioca products, such as pudding, vermicelli, and biscuit, this flour is also used by the textile industry as sizing for yarns and roven goods. It is preferred to potato flour as tapioca does not discolor the yarn. Tapioca is employed in the preparation of dextrin, a glue, as well as in the manufacture of nitro-starch, which is one of the safest explosives, widely used in agriculture for blasting tree trunks, etc.\n\nII. PRODUCTION\nAn average of five roots to a plant with an aggregate weight of 3 to 5 pounds. Production runs about 200-300 piculs per tillage, although judiciously selected stock may produce up to 500 piculs per tillage. Cassava is interplanted with maize, millet, tobacco, etc.\n\nCrop rotation is essential to the maintenance of a fertile soil.\nSoil. Fertilization alone is insufficient as cassava roots draw strongly on the soil, and three or four successive plantings of cassava will render it unfruitful. Before any measure of success can be guaranteed for a replanting of cassava, intensive fertilization must be undertaken.\n\nIII. DEVIATIONS FROM OPTIMAL PHYSICAL CONDITIONS\nObserved variations in optimum conditions for cassava cultivation have disclosed that root development is retarded and considerably lessened in ground containing excessive moisture. It is also noted that all efforts to acclimate cassava to areas outside the sub-tropics have been unsuccessful. The plant is extremely sensitive to night frost.\n\nIV. DISEASES AND PESTS\nRats or mice dig up and devour the round roots. Considerable damage is caused by wild pigs.\nThe greatest enemy of the cassava olaht is the insect: the cassava mite, Tetranychus biracus Harv., which belongs to the Acarinae group and resembles a rod spider: the tea mite. The cassava mite is distinguished from this Tetranychus mainly by the eggs, which are grey instead of red. The only method of combating this plague is to fell the trees or to pluck off infected leaves. When trees are felled, the garden must be thoroughly cleaned and weeded, and the felled trunks burned. Early morning is the best time for this, as the mites remain dormant and there is less danger of them jumping to uninfected trees. This fumigation is of no avail after the plants are seven months old. Plucking off the leaves sometimes helps avert this blight, but only in those instances when the mite appears on small areas.\nThe development of roots and quality both suffer from this operation, but it is better to pick off the leaves than to let the mite flourish and kill the plant outright. The mite spreads by crawling along the mound and climbing tree trunks. The wind also assists in the spread of this nuisance by blowing the eggs to uninfected plants. Sometimes the mite is carried on the clothing of laborers.\n\nCertain types of lady bugs and one other type of mite are the natural enemies of this mite. However, they are not strong enough to successfully combat this mite. Insecticides are also used but the high price of these sprays prohibits any large-scale use.\n\nSurveys of the situation in Africa, the West Indies, and Reunion show a preference for bitter cassava which is more resistant to this pest and therefore practically immune from it.\nIn plantations in rolling terrain, particularly on the slopes near Kodiri, some damage is caused by the larvae of two beetle types: Loucophila rorida Fa., and Lepidiota stigma Fab. The former is the more dangerous of the two, and when it attacks plants to a great extent, the leaves fall off, and the plant soon gives no further production. This pest is fought by plowing up the ground to bring full-grown beetles to the surface, whereupon, they are destroyed. Poison has been used to no avail. Spraying with carbon bisulfite is the best antidote. Other animal pests include a beetle: Fonolepta quadripunctata F., which damages the loaves and leaf-stalks of the plants; a type of Lytta which cats leaves; an arrow-tailed noth, whose caterpillars cause considerable damage; and three types of lice: Pinnasois, Locniur, and Alourodcs.\nCassava suffers little from diseases other than those caused by insects. The only one that spreads disease is root-rot, from which sick plants die off, although they later form new roots and stalks and continue to grow. Rotting begins at the points of roots, which turn a violet color. This is more noticeable in terra firma where cassava has long been cultivated and is a loss in old coffee grounds where cassava has been planted. The root-rot is apparently caused by bacteria and there is no known cure.\n\nSources:\n\n* Dr. K. W. van Gorkom, \"Oost-Indische Cultures,\" now edition edited by Dr. H. C.

Tests were conducted on earth dried at 105\u00b0C. Comparison was made with soil taken from a plantation cultivated for forty years, from a newly cleared level ground plot, and from a newly cleared plot in rolling terrain. Results showed that long cultivated land is not inferior to virgin soil.

Direction of slope: Choice of locale is determined by wind direction, as north and southwest winds can cause great damage to terrain bare to the wind - unsuitable.\n\nRainfall:\n1. Amount - average annual precipitation: 168.4 inches; absolute daily maximum: 5.5 inches; average number of rainy days annually: 238.\n5. Seasonal Distribution: (In inches)\nJan: Feb: Mar: Apr: May: Jun: Jul: Aug: Sep: Oct: Nov: Dec:\n\nTemperature:\nTemperature measured at Bandoeng (2,346 feet above sea level):\n1. Night: No great variation.\n1. Average annual temperature: 71.7\u00b0F; absolute maximum: 93.6\u00b0F; absolute minimum: 52.2\u00b0F; average maximum: 81.5\u00b0F; average minimum: 61.6\u00b0F.\nThere is little seasonal variation in temperature. Temperatures at elevations of quinine plantations are approximately 68\u00b0F at 4,000 feet and 60\u00b0F at 6,000 feet.\n\nMethods of Production:\nChoice of location: As climates suitable for Cinchona cultivation are found only in mountainous regions, only rising terrain is available. Best elevations for Cinchona cultivation lie between 4000 feet and 6600 feet above sea level. It is not desirable to go above or below these elevations. Cinchona Ledgeriana grows favorably at first below 4000 feet but sickness affects the trees around 8 or 10 years of age, causing them to die off. At 5000 feet to 6000 feet, trees 15 to 20 years old yield a regular production. Above 6600 feet, growth is slow and retarded. The growth of Cinchona succirubra is extraordinarily slow at 6600 feet.\nIt is inadvisable to plant too high due to the hazard of frost which freezes the bark loose. Chances of frost are greater in flat regions. For this reason, hilly terrain, if not too steep, offers the most advantageous choice and also obviates the danger of bad water in the subsoil, for roots lying in cold damp soil die off.\n\nSo far as possible, terrain with long, broad shelves is chosen and narrow ridges are avoided, as the ground of the latter is less valuable. Land covered with primeval forests is preferred, providing the subsoil is transmissive and no one type of tree predominates, indicating that the soil is suitable for that type only. Under these conditions, the same crop can normally be planted three or four times if the ground is properly irrigated and provided with some fertilization.\n\nThe chemical and physical composition of the soil is an important factor in determining its suitability for agriculture.\nImportant factor to the growth of Cinchona is the availability of water from springs or rivers for watering the nurseries. Temperature falls 32.5 degrees F, every 328 feet of ascent. Preparation of terrain is essential. The land should be cleared entirely, but the entire area should not be burned as this leaves too much ash, making the ground unfruitful for years. Terracing provides the best ground for Cinchona cultivation as it gives the trees more access to air while retaining the same area under cultivation. Terraces must be absolutely level to ensure proper drainage. Levelling prevents the top soil from washing away, but during this operation care should be taken to avoid a residue of unfruitful subsoil. To eliminate washing away of top soil, narrow ditches or curb 'pits are dug. Terraces should be level and well-drained.\nRoads should be of equal width but avoid unnecessary depth or disturbing the subsoil. Preliminary to tree felling, roads are laid out. Care is taken in laying out roads, which generally have a rise of no more than 5 degrees (or about 1 to 12). They should not be too small, usually about eight feet for the largest and about five feet for the smallest. Felled trees are laid in the direction of the slope and left to rot, providing essential fertilizer. A small number are burned for ash. Once terraced, sites are chosen and marked with sticks. Absolute uniformity is impossible due to the unevenness of the terraces and the presence of stumps left by the original clearing. Some ground is naturally prepared to receive the trees, eliminating the necessity of digging pits.\nSoil is unsatisfactory, pits are essential and are usually dug to a length, depth, and breadth of about two feet. Pits are best dug during the dry monsoon and refilled in October. Leaving them open a few months permits air to reach the soil.\n\nSeeding. There are approximately 3,500,000 seeds in 2.2 pounds of Cinchona Ledgeriana and 9,000,000 seeds in 2.2 pounds of Cinchona succirubra. A good lodger blooms fairly late in life, sometimes only after twenty years, and only once a year, whereas the succirubra blooms all year. As a general rule, the less valuable types bloom younger.\n\nIndividual blossoms ripen at different times over a two-week interval, consequently some will burst before others are ripe. Therefore, in harvesting the seed, a whole cluster is cut off as soon as any fruit springs open. It is left to ripen in the wind but sheltered from the direct sun rays.\nCinchona seeds can be kept for long periods if they are entirely ripe, dried in the wind, well cleaned, and stored in tightly sealed jars in a dark place. However, the sooner they are sown after harvesting, the better they will germinate. Experiments proved that indoor cultivation was unnecessary, and seeding is now done in the open air in covered beds. Seed beds are 32 inches wide and have roofs made of palm leaves. Wooden bars (thin stems of Cinchona or other trees) are laid along the edges and held by sticks of wood. Soil is removed from beds to a depth of 1 to 1 1/3 feet and is prepared by removing insect larvae, rotten wood, and all other matter harmful to the seed. The soil is then returned to the beds and covered with about an inch of vegetable humus. The bed is roofed with thatch.\nPalm leaves raised about 4 feet in front and 1 foot above the ground in back. After the humus layer is well moistened, sow about 0.045-0.6 grams of seed per 10 square feet, hand-scattering seeds as evenly as possible. The front of the bed is protected by a 3-foot woven bamboo screen. Seed is then lightly sprinkled (water falling with any force will wash seed from its place). Seed beds are best planted at the beginning of the year to take advantage of the following West Monsoon or rainy season. Water once a day, preferably in the morning. Care should be exercised in watering, as too much moisture is as harmful as too little, particularly when the seed swells and starts to germinate, for there is danger of mold at this time. When the seed germinates, usually about a month later, the bamboo screen is removed.\nThe screen is removed during the day but replaced at night to keep animals away. Light is essential to plants after sprouting and minimizes the danger of mold. After six months (sometimes earlier, depending on the elevation), the most developed plants are transplanted. Secondary seed beds are prepared. The terrain should be as flat as possible, preferably near water. Rolling terrain is laid out in terraces. The ground is worked to a depth of two feet, cleared of wood and roots, and covered with an inch or so of vegetable humus. Forked sticks about three feet in length are sunk six to ten inches into the ground, and slats are laid in 13 to 15 inch squares through the forks to form a frame which is covered with leaves. This cover is raised about 5 inches above the beds and lets in sufficient light and air while shielding the plants from direct sunlight.\nThe full force of the rain. This frame can be removed for sprinkling during dry spells. During the first days of transplanting, it is even advisable to protect the sides of beds from direct sunlight. Seedlings are placed about two inches apart in \"advanced seed beds,\" and as plants crowd each other, the smallest are removed until those left have double the originally allotted space. Weaker plants removed in the thinning out process are planted in nursery beds about four inches apart. These nursery beds are laid out in the same manner as the secondary seed beds but the frame is raised higher from the ground. The plants which are left behind in the seed beds can be covered with the leaf-covered frame, when it is discarded from the advanced beds, instead of the slanting roof. Thus, even weak plants will tend to flourish, and even ungerminated seed will sprout.\nThis is best done towards the end of the west monsoon when showers are light, so that the loft-behind plants will be ready for transplanting directly to nursery beds by the next west monsoon. The outlined procedure of seeding and transplanting will result in well-developed, woody plant material within one and a half to two years at an elevation of 6,000 to 7,000 feet; oven before 1-1 years at lower elevations.\n\nPlanting in full ground: The best time for planting in full ground is at the beginning of the rainy monsoon. Plants which grow little or none in the nursery then get their first \"shot\" from the rains in full ground rather than in the nursery. Transplanting is best done in the early morning but should never be undertaken in the pouring rain.\n\nPits are dug a month beforehand, then refilled and marked.\nDamage to roots during transplanting should be avoided. However, if any harm is inflicted, roots should be amputated with a sharp knife. Attention should be paid to placing the roots in the proper direction. They should never be bent, nor should they be planted so deeply that the roots are smothered or so shallowly that they are exposed to light. Trunks should be planted as vertically as possible. Tops of trees can be trimmed in the nursery before transplanting, and only good woody trunks are selected. Sick plants and bastards should be left in the nurseries as they can be used next year for grafting. These are never transplanted with healthy trees.\n\nThe question of spacing is controversial, but the generally accepted rule is to plant Cinchona Ledgeriana at distances of 3 feet x 3 feet and to space Cinchona succirubra 4 feet x 4 feet.\nPreliminary spacing hinges to a great extent on the later handling of the plantation. One objection to close planting is that crowding may force the premature removal of young plants, resulting in low production. Slips are planted 3\u2019 x 31'. Close planting is desirable in that a well-shadowed ground reduces upkeep costs, and the Ilopqlitis insect disappears by itself when deprived of the sun\u2019s rays, thus obviating constant spraying. Greater production results from 31 x 3' spacing at 5,000 to 6,000 foot above sea level. For instance, a government plantation planted in 1904 at 31 x 3* gave a cumulative total over a period of seven years of 344,710 kg of Quinine Sulphate, whereas a planting of Quinine Sulphate cultivation. Gardens should be well cared for and the ground kept cleared for the first two or three years, until a roof of growth establishes itself.\nThe leaves shade the ground, retarding growth of underbrush. The ground is not hoed after planting until six months have elapsed, and hoeing should not come too close to the trees. Ground around the trees is loosened periodically to permit air infiltration; this is done by raking and by digging narrow trenches.\n\nGrafting is essential to the preservation of the pure botanical strain, due to the great variation in seeds from even the most perfect trees. Artificial propagation is achieved by means of slips or cuttings as well as by grafting. The preferred method is grafting of Cinchona Ledgeriana onto trunks of Cinchona succirubra. Grafts are growing branches about four inches long and about the thickness of a pencil. A flat cutting, as thin as possible, is made with a sharp knife about half the length of a branch.\nThe trunk of the succirubra is slit about two to three inches above ground. This must be a perfectly flat cut, slanting inwards from above, no deeper than one-third the thickness of the trunk. The incision must be the same length as the wedge-shaped cut of the graft, and slips must fit incisions exactly. The cut side of a graft is laid against the wound in the tree. The tree is then bound with soft, non-cut tin, string, and sealed with grafting wax. Precautions are taken to avoid damaging the cambium. To ensure a flow of sap to the graft, a semi-circular incision is made about four fingers above the graft.\n\nThe purpose of grafting is to obtain trees whose quinine content is known, as well as to obtain the strength of a hardy succirubra combined with the superior quality of a Ledgeriana. However, up to a certain age, pure Ledgeriana trees are known to produce superior quinine content.\ngive more sulphuric acid quinine to succirubra trunks than grafts. The alcaloid content of bark changes through the character of succirubra, resulting in a decreased quinine content and increased cinchonidine. A SO to 100 percent success can be counted on in grafting, provided grafts are well cared for in the nurseries. Formally, grafting took place in gardens, but experiments proved that the operation is cheaper, and better control can be exercised, when grafting is done in nurseries. Except for a few dry months in Java, grafting takes place throughout the year. Grafting wax is made by melting eight parts of rosin and one part of beef fat over a low fire. When cooked, this mixture is stirred and poured into a pan of water, then worked by hand until malleable. When the color becomes a yellowish white, the wax is ready.\nWax is made into cakes and immersed in cold water. Grafting wax should be kept in the shade. When required for sealing grafts, these cakes are melted in a copper pan.\n\nCinchona Ledgeriana trees require pruning. A plantation is well roofed after three years, and the second ceiling, formed by lower branches, must be removed. At most, only the two lowest branches are cut during the first pruning, which lets more light into the gardens. A first harvest of bark may be obtained in this manner.\n\nFertilizing. Oil cake made from castor oil beans is the best fertilizer due to its high nitrogen content. After fertilizing, yellowness disappears, and the plantation becomes a verdant green.\n\nTwo-year-old gardens require 2 ounces, three to four-year-old plantations need 3-4 ounces, and older ones up to 1 pound per tree.\n\nHarvesting.\nIn an average plantation, three-year-old trees are pruned for the first crop. After the fourth year, trees are pruned again and a few are hewn where they are crowded together. In the following years, less bark is obtained by lopping off lower branches and more by thinning out the trees, until no more is obtained from pruning and production is solely from felling. Generally, branches more than six feet above the ground are not removed, as trees pruned too high do not regain a good crown which is essential to a well-shadowed ground.\n\nThe latest method of harvesting is to always leave some trees as cover, which effects a saving on soil preparation and ground clearing. This also maintains a supply which can be tapped during boom periods.\n\nAt six years of age, trees reach their maximum quinine yield.\nThe quinine content decreases by the twelfth year and remains constant thereafter. After six years, the quantity of bark increases but it is difficult to determine when the maximum quantity is reached. Whether an area should be replanted with the same type of Cinchona tree depends on the soil. This is generally not advisable. As time passes, sick trees appear and are dug up. The resulting excavations are filled with Ledgeriana-grafted succirubra or hybrid trees. Holes are never left in the plantations as they encourage other trees to sicken. This thinning gives the older trees a chance to develop well and form greater quantities of bark. In harvesting, it is necessary to differentiate between bark for quinine extraction and pharmaceutical bark. The value of the latter is greater if the periderma is undamaged.\nAdhering moss is left on the bark. Bark for quinine extraction should not be cut but pounded loose from the trunk with a wooden hammer and peeled off with a horn knife. The use of steel knives is not permitted as pieces of wood may be removed with the bark. The periderma is removed from the bark by beating with a wooden hammer, later the bark is brushed off. The bark is then divided into long or short strips with a knife and peeled off the stem. This bark is known to the trade as Cortex Cinchonae Sine Epiderna.\n\nBeating and peeling are done by women, while men laborers fell or dig up the trees.\n\nPharmaceutical bark is harvested differently. A ring of bark is removed from the base and the tree is felled. Bark is removed in strips 3-3.5 feet long which are allowed to roll up into long cylinders.\n\nPrimary Processing.\nThe freshly cut strips of Cinchona succirubra are laid in the shade for a few days and left to curl. They are wound with bamboo rope, and a stick is inserted through the cylinder. Next, the strips are laid in the sun, the stick removed, and the bark left to dry in the open air. Drying naturally in open air preserves the silvery white appearance which is so desired in pharmaceutical bark. This is not always possible during the large harvests as the sun does not shine very much during the west monsoon, which is the most favorable period for harvesting this product. Paring the east (or dry) monsoon, the periderma is loosened from the bark, reducing its value. Bark which cannot be cut into the specified cylinder lengths is harvested as \"broken pipe.\" What cannot be gathered as broken pipe is packed in bales as dust.\nThe root bark is boxed in pieces. If water is available, wash off the root bark to eliminate sand. Bark is graded before packing to ensure regularity of specimens. Bark from sick trees is packed separately as it is of lesser quality. Tests conducted at different seasons proved that the variation in quinine content is negligible. Consequently, bark can be harvested all year in Je.va. Fresh, newly peeled bark contains about 70-75% of its weight in water. Approximately 60-65% of this moisture is eliminated by open air drying, and the remaining 10-13% is dried out at 125\u00b0C. Finally, the bark is dried in a hot air machine at 100\u00b0C. Bark that is processed directly in the machine without previous open air drying yields a less valuable, strongly colored product.\nWhile drying in the sun, bark is spread out in pans laid across rails. These pans can be covered at night or during rain. Careful drying prevents molding after packaging, which reduces the value of the bark.\n\nAppearance is discounted by quinine factories, whose only interest is in bark from which a high quinine content can be easily extracted. This bark is ground to a powder and packed in jute sacks of about 220 pounds.\n\nAccording to their contents, packages of Cinchona succirubra, which is packed in cases, weigh 130 to 200 pounds.\n\nII. PRODUCTION\n\nThere are approximately 40,000 acres of Cinchona trees under cultivation in Java. Annual production is about 10,000 tons of bark with a quinine content of about 600 tons.\n\nA first harvest is gathered by pruning the lower branches, after which harvests are made by felling trees during the process.\nThe quinine content of the bark increases steadily for six years, remaining fairly constant thereafter, with a gradual decline after the twelfth year. The quantity of bark increases after the sixth year. Variations in cultivation, elevation, and other determining factors make it impractical to ascertain when maximum production is reached. At most, productivity can last twenty-five years, after which gardens are typically replanted with hybrid seedlings. A plantation can be renewed up to three or four times, but decreased production will result from each successive planting. It is preferable to turn the ground over to some other crop before a new Cinchona planting is undertaken.\n\nResults of tests made as follows:\n\n| Year | Quinine Content (%) | Bark Quantity (kg/ha) |\n|-------|---------------------|-----------------------|\n| 1 | 0.5 | 100 |\n| 2 | 0.6 | 120 |\n| 3 | 0.7 | 150 |\n| 4 | 0.8 | 180 |\n| 5 | 0.9 | 200 |\n| 6 | 1.0 | 220 |\n| 7 | 0.95 | 240 |\n| 8 | 0.92 | 260 |\n| 9 | 0.88 | 280 |\n| 10 | 0.85 | 300 |\n| 11 | 0.82 | 320 |\n| 12 | 0.80 | 340 |\n| 13 | 0.78 | 360 |\n| 14 | 0.76 | 380 |\n| 15 | 0.74 | 400 |\n| 16 | 0.72 | 420 |\n| 17 | 0.70 | 440 |\n| 18 | 0.68 | 460 |\n| 19 | 0.66 | 480 |\n| 20 | 0.64 | 500 |\n| 21 | 0.62 | 520 |\n| 22 | 0.60 | 540 |\n| 23 | 0.58 | 560 |\n| 24 | 0.56 | 580 |\n| 25 | 0.54 | 600 |\n[cd i, cd CD 3, 0 ftp, O' Ph, o, OOP, cd, P o, P P, iH, P, X Cd, P o, MO >h, p, cd, P, PQ, X edi, to, P o, V TO, Id, O P, p, Jd o, x cd, P Ph, p o, p p, cd, TO cd, P, G, cd >h, o, O cd, O P, o o, Ph V O, O, TO, d, d, O, cd Vi, CD TO H CO >, cd, d, id cd d, O cd d, X CO o, d h to, H cd o, v TJ, Jd o, rH -P, o cd, -P rH, d d, M O, o, o, MO, cd, MO, cd, cv, cd, MO, cd, OA, rH, vO, O, o, Id, cd id, MO, CO, rH, cv, MO, cd, UA, rH, cd, MO, rH, rH, CV, mo cd, td, UA, m, rH O, o, to, CO, rH Id, Cd, CO, O CO, lo-, id, cd, co, UA, UA, id CV, rH, cd, CO, MO MO, id, UA, UA, Id rH, cd, CV, rH, cv, Cd]\nCO O pH O- CO CV MO o cv o o cd UA MO ir UA o CO O o cd CO Id cv- id CA UA o UA CO O o cd CO id cd rH cv Cd CV o UA id GN rH Td o X d o d co o o MO CO o o o ua CV ua O cd o UA cv cv cd CO I Cd o UA to CV UA rl Cd ua TO O X d CD d l c cd o CO MO cd r-- I o CO TO rH Cd cd \u00abH Gh O rH co v o i d MO Cd rH CO UA o CV CV cd CO O CO MO cd cd cd cd cd o CV MO o rH id Cd CO cd C ua H P TO CD cd o d M d Ph d O og rH -P o cd dv d m TO o TO d o do to L rl Cd O P TO I rH > CO Cd O CO v OH d o cy I rH cc rH O UA o MO o O cd cd rH MO cv CO o UA UA o rH CV CV o cv cd I MO o Mf MO rH cd o UA cd cd rH rH UA UA rH CV vO cc cd cd G cd cd co c P P CO cd cd X O o TJ *h G to TO O P P TO O zz P o O X X Cd TO O l-H ZZ O CO\nIII. DEVIATIONS FROM OPTIMUM PHYSICAL CONDITIONS AND THEIR EFFECTS\n\nVariations in soil. No data available.\nVariations in subsoil. No data available except that an accumulation of water in the subsoil will kill off roots lying in this cold dampness.\nVariations in drainage. Terracing offers the only drainage as drainage is too costly to be undertaken. Terraces must be absolutely level as otherwise water will accumulate in the subsoil. Unless curb pits and ditches are dug, the top soil will wash away.\nVariations due to direction of slope. Storms accompanying\n\n(Note: The text appears to be incomplete and contains several abbreviations and unclear symbols. It is difficult to determine if any cleaning is necessary without additional context or information.)\nThe North and Southwest Monsoons cause havoc if slopes are bared to them. For this reason, only protected slopes are used. Variations in rainfall. Droughts due to lateness of rainy monsoon retard growth. Variations in temperature. Growth is retarded in plantations above 6,600 feet (60\u00b0F), while trees tend to sicken and die within ten years when planted below 4,000 feet (68\u00b0F). Temperatures vary but little during day or night in this equatorial region. The chief danger is from night frost at too high elevations.\n\nIV. Diseases of Cinchona Trees\nDjamoer pepas\nDjamoer Qepas \u2013 is caused by Corticium javanicum Zimm.\nThis mold attacks many other plants besides Cinchona, among others: coffee, tea, cocoa, Hevea, nutmeg, etc. \u2013 any of which can transmit the disease to Cinchona trees. Humidity in the air is essential for the development of this disease.\nA contributing factor to the spread of this mold is small plants attacked by Helopeltis, which often become infected. The only preventative measure is to cut off and burn the affected areas.\n\nTonic Cancer\nThis disease is caused by a mold in the Olpidiaceae family. Trees show no signs of dead places on the bark that penetrate into the same mold, which is also the cause of a root collar infection in young trees in nursery beds. This infection has failed to respond to any of the treatments attempted.\n\nBy Chytrium canker,\ncaused by Chytrium spp.,\nthe wood. This disease attacking Cinchona trees has failed to respond to treatments.\n\n1/ 0 epas (Malay) - plant bane\n2/ Dr. A. Rant - \"Mededeelingen Departement van Landbouw\"\n\nRoot Mold\nVarious types of root mold appear among Cinchona trees. It is typical for Cinchona trees to die off in circles around certain types of tree stumps. There is no remedy known for this.\n\nMopo.\nMopo is a disease of young Cinchona plants caused by mold due to excessive humidity.\n\nV. INSECTS, OTHER THAN CATERPILLARS\n\nLiuch feared the Coleoptera are the larvae of certain Melolonthidae.\n\nCreat, though temporary, damage is attributed to the following caterpillars:\n1. Attacus Atlas and A. ricini\n2. Daphnis hypoetus\n3. Odonestis plagifera\n4. Metanastria hyrtaca\n5. Euproctis flexuosa\n6. Cricula trifenestrata\n\nDaphnis hypoetus is difficult to trace as it takes on the color of the bark, whether brown or white. Euproctis flexuosa is best fought by burning the nests and the young caterpillars, which are found on the underside of the leaves.\n\nThe worst enemy of the Cinchona tree is the Helopeltis antonii. A full-grown Helopeltis measures 11 mm. The female has a reddish-brown thorax, and the male a black torax. These insects infest the leaves and stems, causing significant damage.\nThe sap of the leaves quickly turns brown and curls up. The worst period is at the start of the dry season after the cessation of rains, mainly in low-lying plantations in Java during April and May. Helopeltis appears seldom at 6000 feet. It is remarked that the insect disappears when the plantation is roofed over. Enemies of this insect are not known; birds make no attempt to destroy them. Certain Ledger ianas suffer very little from this pest, and this type of tree is more strongly cultivated since this discovery. After an attack by Helopeltis, the trees often have a tendency to contract Corticium javanicum (Zimin), as the infected places are sensitive to mold. The only effective control of this insect is to keep the ground perfectly cleared and to plant the trees closer together.\nThe early roofing of the plantation eliminates Helopeltis.\n\nSources:\n11.

Climate\n\nClimate, General\nT\n\nThe Netherlands Indies extend from 6\u00b0 north latitude to 11\u00b0 south-latitude.\nLatitude and longitude range from 95\u00b0 to 141\u00b0 east. Despite being a tropical country, Netherlands India has a moderate climate with little extremes. Factors mitigating the sun's rays are cloudiness and dampness. There is minimal temperature variation even during the night. The highest temperature ever recorded in Batavia was 96.4\u00b0 and the lowest was not specified. The sun reaches its zenith at the same angle during each year, attaining its height in July and December. Seasonal variations are due to monsoons.\n\nSouthwest Monsoon\nIn July, an area of high pressure moves from Australia toward an area of low pressure in Asia, resulting in a strong southwest monsoon, originating in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Bengal. This is the so-called \"dry\" season, felt particularly on the East and Southeast coasts of Java. There is no trace of this monsoon on the west coast.\nof Sumatra. The west monsoon starts forming about November 17 to 21. \nNortheast Monsoon \nIn January the direction of atmospheric pressure is from Asia to \nAustralia, resulting in a powerful northeast monsoon which ranges over \nBritish India, the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Bengal. This is the \n\"rainy season\" or the \"good\" monsoon. In Atjeh, the northernmost province \nof Sumatra, the west monsoon is felt at this period. The east monsoon \nforms around April 6-10. \nTemperature \nReadings for Batavia are typical of all coastal regions in Java. \nThe temperature falls 1\u00b0 F every 328 feet of ascent. \nTemperature Averages \n: Batavia \nsBandoeing \n:Fontianak \n: Medan \n: Koepang \nAverage annual \nAbsolute maximum \nAbsolute minimum \nAverage maximum \nAverage minimum \nI \nCloudiness \n(Scale: 0 = entirely clear; 10 = entirely overcast) \nBatavia - average annual 6.35 \nJanuary 7.5; July 4.6; August 4.2 \nPekalongan: average annual 5.08\nPasoeroean: average annual 4.57\n\nAverage annual sunshine:\nBatavia: 48.6%; Pasoeroean: 56.5%\n\nPercentage of Possible Sunshine:\nBatavia: Jan: Feb: Mar: Apr: May: Jun: Jul: Aug: Sep: Oct: Nov: Dec: Total\nPasoeroean: Jan: Feb: Mar: Apr: May: Jun: Jul: Aug: Sep: Oct: Nov: Dec: Total\n\nBatavia:\nJan.: Feb.: Max: Apr.: May: Jun: Jul: Aug.: Sept.: Oct.: Nov.: Dec.: Ann.\nRelative Humidity:\nAverage annual relative humidity at Batavia: 83%.

The cut edges slightly aging are planted vertically on a slope in rows nmrvinr? v w \u00bb , # * * a.\nAnd deeply tilled soil, in a few months, yields a bountiful crop. The ground is carefully wooded during the growing season, shaded no other crop is but once the botanical growth of branches is harvested. Thro' the rows, to loosen the soil, a frostal hoeing is employed for this operation. A P1 plow, plus \"sr,\" a wooden plow, is often used by removing the flower buds. Harvesting's optimum period isn't exactly defined. To a certain stage, the longer the roots remain in the ground, the better they develop. After a certain point, the starch content starts to decrease. In level terrain, the crop is harvested around eight or nine months after planting. Harvests are somewhat later in the mountains. Roots are dug up or pulled up.\nThe 1-stem remaining after the plant has been uprooted. Roots are cut off the trunk and transported to the factories.\n\nPrimary Processing:\nGaplek. This product is prepared in the NEI from fresh cassava roots. Peeled and dried roots are quartered, and each aurtar is cut into three or four lengthwise pieces. These pieces are well washed and dried in the sun for 5 to 6 days, after which the product is ready to be exported as a \"gaplek.\" If it is not fully dried, it will mold quickly.\n\nGaplek is also produced in flake form; this, too, is washed in clean, running water and dried in the sun. The drying process is important as fresh cassava roots contain 50 to 70 percent water, whereas the moisture content of good gaplek is around 15 percent. (Every two tons of fresh, peeled root will produce one ton of gaplek).\nGaplek Flour. To produce this product, the cjaeplek is finely ground into a meal. The quality of the gaplek used is of considerable importance. Moldy and dirty gaplek produces a dark meal, while carefully prepared gaplek will give a white real when milled. Before 1927, only gaplek was exported, and this was milled at its destination. Since that time, milling has been done at the point of origin because:\n\n1. Gaplek meal is less voluminous than aaplok, thus lowering transportation costs;\n2. Gaplek can be milled more cheaply in Java, due to low labor costs, thus reducing the price of the finished article in Europe and America.\n\nTapioca Flour. In the NEI (Netherlands East Indies), tapioca flour is scientifically produced according to western methods, even in the smallest enterprises, most of which are in the hands of the Chinese. Tapioca flour is prepared from:\n1. Fresh Cassava roots from plantations\n2. Fresh Cassava roots from native holdings\n3. Native meal delivered wet to small factories\n4. Native meal, delivered dry to small factories\n5. Gaplek\n6. Gaplek meal\n\nTapioca flour, prepared from selected roots (scientifically prepared and rapidly transported to factories after harvesting), is a fairly pure starch product. Standards of Duality are based on color, purity, viscosity, and carat, i.e., by car. This product naturally brings a higher price.\n\n- Tapioca flour, prepared from roots purchased from native holdings, is also a practically impure starch product, but of inconsistent quality, due to:\n1. Variations in roots\n2. Irregular transportation (long drawn out)\n3. Poor control during processing\n\nIt is of greatest importance that roots be worked in a fresh state. Primary preparation for all roots consists of:\nThe process involves washing and grating the neulcd or impaired roots. After grating, the starch is thinned with water, sieved, and sprinkled to remove impurities. The remaining mass is placed in settling pans, and the water is allowed to run off, leaving only flour after moisture has evaporated. The top and bottom layers of these cakes are scrapped off as they are the least pure. The cleaned flour cakes are then washed and stirred in stirring vats before being returned to the sediment pans. The final operation is the drying of the flour thus produced, either in the sun or artificially.\n\nSmall buyers often use the wet native meal, first drying and cleaning it and selling it as tapio flour under their trade names. Sometimes, this is bought up by large factories and purified and refined. Due to the lapse of\nDuring processing, this is generally an unsatisfactory ordeal of low quality, and each individual lot shows great variations. The dry native moal, prepared and dried on the spot, is bought by traders. Due to the primitive preparation and cleaning, consisting only of grinding and boiling, this oroduct is of even lower quality than the grades listed above.\n\nThe scientific preparation of tapioca flour from garlek is similar to the methods used in preparing it from fresh roots. There is a reluctance to purchasing this in the IT, though, although when properly prepared it is similar in all details to tapioca flour prepared from fresh roots. Preparation takes place as follows: Cells are opened by milling or grating the galangal. The opened cells are washed and sifted to clean out the \"ampas.\"\nStarch is derived by allowing flour milk to settle. The preparation of tapioca flour from gaplok meal is invisible as it is difficult to clean thoroughly. Particles of fibrous vrasto and fine sand and clay pieces cannot be avoided, even by careful sieving. The product inevitably has a rrayish color.\n\nTapioca Flakes and Siftings. The preparation of flakes and siftings requires first quality factory flour. The (moist) tapioca flour is heated in pans until it adheres to the metal. The mass is scraped loose until the flour curdles and stiffens, at which point it is partially transparent. After the product cools, it is sifted into flakes and siftings.\n\nTapioca Pearl and Seeds. This is also prepared from half-moist first quality tapioca flour. The moist flour is pressed through a coarse sieve and placed in an open-end sack of twilled cotton.\nCloth shaken between two people until movement results in small or large balls, depending on length of time pursued. When required size seeds or pearls are attained, product is sifted. Moist seeds or pearls are then heated in an iron pan and, when cooled and dried, become known as pearls. Procured pearls are then sifted into medium, small, and seed sizes. A mechanical method has recently evolved for this process through the use of evenly heated, rotating drums. Care is taken to keep desired color (white and opalescent) and prevent grains from breaking in cooking.\n\nAnnas: Waste from flour preparation is dried and used in lunns, fragments, or ground form, known as \"amoas.\" Imported cassava in England may not have a raw fiber content higher than 8 percent.\n\nUses of Cassava Products.\nDifferent cassava products have various uses. Gaplek and gaplck meal are practically the same thing and are used for the same purposes. In cakes, this is an important cattle find. Gaplek is also used in industry for the preparation of industrial alcohol and glucose. Molasses is plentiful, but cassava is not used due to higher production costs.\n\nGaplck is also important as a foodstuff. When rice is scarce and dear, gaplck is largely consumed. It cannot be used as a primary foodstuff, however, due to the low albumen and fat content.\n\nTapioca flour also has various uses. Besides being a foodstuff and the base of finer tapioca products (pudding, vermicelli, and biscuit), this flour is also used by the textile industry as sizing for yarns and woven goods, where it is preferred to potato flour as tapioca does not discolor the yarn. Tapioca flour\nis employed in the preparation of dextrine and the manufacture of nitro-starch, which is one of the safest explosives, widely used in agriculture for blasting tree trunks, etc.\n\nII. PRODUCTION\nThere are an average of 60 roots to a plant with an aggregate weight of 3 to 5 pounds. Production runs about 200-300 piculs per tillage, although judiciously selected stock may produce up to 500 piculs per tillage. Cassava is interplanted with maize, millet, tobacco, etc.\n\nCrop rotation is essential to the maintenance of a fertile soil. Fertilization alone is insufficient as the cassava roots draw strongly upon the soil and three or four successive plantings of cassava will render the soil unfruitful. Before any measure of success can be guaranteed for a replanting of cassava, intensive fertilization must be undertaken.\nIII. DEVIATIONS FROM Optimal Physical Conditions for Cassava Cultivation\nObserved variations in optimum conditions for cassava cultivation have revealed that root development is retarded and considerably lessened in ground containing excessive moisture. The plant is also unable to acclimate to areas outside the sub-tropics. Cassava is extremely sensitive to night frost.\n\nIV. DISEASES AND PESTS\nRats or mice dig up the ground to root mots, which they devour. Considerable damage is caused by wild pigs. The greatest enemy of the cassava plant is an insect: the cassava mite, Tetranychus biracialis Harvester, which belongs to the Acarinac group and resembles a rod spider: the tea mite. The cassava mite is distinguished from this Tetranychus mainly by its size and color.\nThe only method of combating eggs, which are grey instead of red, is to fell trees or pluck off infected leaves. When trees are felled, the garden must be thoroughly cleaned and needed, and the felled trunks burned. Early morning is the best time for this, as the mites remain dormant and there is less danger of them jumping onto uncontaminated trees. This felling is of no avail after the plants are seven months old. Plucking off the leaves sometimes helps avert this blight, but only in those instances - when the mite appears on small areas. The development of the roots and the plant both suffer from this operation, but it is better to pick off the leaves than to let the mite flourish and kill the plant outright. The mite spreads by clinging around and climbing tree trunks. The wind also assists in the spread of this nuisance.\nSanction by blowing eggs on uninfected plants. Sometimes the mite is carried on the clothing of laborers. Certain types of lady bugs and one other type of mite are natural enemies of this mite, but they are not strong enough to successfully combat it. Insecticides are used but the high price of those sprays prohibits any large-scale use. Surveys of the situation in Africa, the West Indies, and Reunion show a preference for bitter cassava, which is more resistant to this pest and therefore practically immune from it. In plantations in rolling terrain, particularly on the slopes near Kodiri, some damage is caused by the larvae of two beetles: Loucophilus roridus Fa., and Lcpidiota stigma Fab. The former is the more dangerous of the two and when it attacks plants to any great extent, the leaves fall off and the plants are damaged.\nA short plant life results in no further production. This pest is combated by plowing up the ground to bring full-grown beetles to the surface, where they are destroyed. Poison has been used but to no avail. Spraying with carbon bisulfite is the antidote. Other animal pests include the beetle Fonolopta quadripunctata, which damages the loaves and loaf-stalks of the plants; a type of Lytta beetle that infests oat loaves; an arrow-tailed noth, whose caterpillars cause significant damage; and three types of lice: Pinnaspis, Lecanium, and Alder. Cassava suffers little from diseases other than those caused by insects. About the pests that spread disease is rot, from which sick plants die off, although they later form new roots and stalks- and continue to grow. Rotting begins at the roots, which turn a violet color.\nIn terrain where cassava has long been in production, the problem of rot, or roct-rot, is apparent in old coffee grounds where cassava has been planted. The rot is apparently caused by bacteria and there is no known cure.\n\nSources:\n\n\"Dr. K. W. van Gorkom's 'Oost-Indischo Cultures,'\" now edited by Dr. H. C.

Sites are chosen where the subsoil is permeable. Absolutely level terraces assure proper drainage. Direction of Slope, Choice of locality is determined by wind direction, as North and Southwest winds can cause great damage, and terrain bare to the wind is unsuitable.

Personal range: There is little seasonal variation in temperature. Temperatures at elevations of quinine plantations are approximately 68\u00b0F at 4,000 feet and 60\u00b0F at 6,000 feet.\n\nMethods of Production\nCinchona of location. As climates suitable for Cinchona cultivation are found only in mountainous regions, only rising terrain is available. Best elevations for Cinchona cultivation are:\nCinchona ledgcriana grows favorably between 4,000 and 6,600 feet above sea level. It is not desirable to go above or below those elevations. Cinchona ledgcriana grows well below 4,000 feet but trees become sick around 8 or 10 years old, causing them to die off. At 5,000 to 6,000 feet, trees 15 to 20 years old yield a regular production. Above 6,600 feet, growth is slow and retarded. The growth of Cinchona succirubra is extraordinarily slow at 6,600 feet. It is inadvisable to plant too high due to the hazard of frost which freezes the bark loose. Chances of frost are greater in flat regions. For this reason, hilly terrain, if not too steep, offers the most advantageous choice and also obviates the danger of bad water in the subsoil, for roots lying in cold damp soil die off. So far as possible, terrain with long, broad shelves is preferred.\nchosen and narrow ridges are avoided, as the ground of the latter is less valuable. Land covered with primeval forests is preferred, providing the subsoil is transmittable and no one type of tree predominates, indicating that the soil is suitable for that type only. Under those conditions, the same crop can normally be planted three or four times if the ground is properly irrigated and provided with some fertilization.\n\nThe chemical and physical composition of the soil is an important factor to the growth of Cinchona, as is the availability of water from springs or rivers for watering the nurseries.\n\nTemperature falls 1\u00b0 every 328 feet of ascent.\n\nPreparation of terrain. It is essential to clear the land entirely. However, the entire area should not be burned as this leaves too much ash, making the ground unfruitful for years.\nTerracing provides the best ground for Cinchona cultivation as it gives the trees more access to air while retaining the same area under cultivation. Terraces must be absolutely level to ensure proper drainage. Levelling prevents the upper soil from washing away, but care should be taken during this operation to avoid a residue of unfruitful subsoil. To eliminate washing away of top soil, narrow ditches or curb pits are dug. Terraces should be of equal width, but unnecessary depth or exposing the subsoil must be avoided.\n\nRoads are laid out preliminarily to felling the trees. Care is taken in laying out the roads which generally have not more than a 5\u00b0 rise (or about 1 to 12). They should not be too small, usually about eight feet for the largest and about five feet for the smallest. The felled trees are laid in the direction of the roads.\nSlope and terraces are left to rot, providing essential fertilizer. A small number are burned for ash. Once terraced, sites are chosen and marked with sticks. Absolute uniformity is impossible due to the unevenness of the terraces and the presence of stumps left by the original clearing. Some ground is naturally prepared to receive the trees, eliminating the necessity of digging pits. However, if the subsoil is unsatisfactory, pits are essential and are usually dug to a length, depth, and breadth of about two feet. Pits are best dug during the dry monsoon and refilled in October. Leaving them open a few months permits air to reach the soil.\n\nThere are about 3,500,000 seeds in 2.2 pounds of Cinchona Ledgeriana and 9,000,000 seeds in 2.2 pounds of Cinchona succirubra. A good ledger tree blooms fairly late in life, sometimes.\nAfter twenty years and only once a year, whereas the succirubra blooms all year. The less valuable types bloom younger. Individual blossoms ripen at different times over a two-week interval, resulting in some bursting before others are ripe. In harvesting the seed, a whole cluster is cut off as soon as any fruit springs open. It is left to ripen in the wind but sheltered from direct sun rays.\n\nCinchona seeds can be kept for long periods if they are entirely ripe, dried in the wind, well cleaned, and stored in tightly sealed jars in a dark place. However, the sooner they are sown after harvesting, the better they will germinate. Experiments proved that indoor cultivation was unnecessary, and seeding is now done in the open air in covered beds.\n\nSeed beds are 32 inches wide and are roofed with palm leaves.\nSeeds are planted in beds by laying wooden bars along them and holding them in place with sticks. Soil is removed to a depth of 1 to 1 1/3 feet and prepared by removing insect larvae, rotten wood, and other harmful matter. The soil is then returned to the beds and covered with about an inch of vegetable humus. The bed is roofed with thatched palm leaves, raised about four feet in front and one foot above the ground in back.\n\nAfter the humus layer is well moistened, about 45 to 60 grains of seed are sown per ten square feet, evenly by hand. The front of the bed is protected by a 3-foot woven bamboo screen.\n\nSeed beds are best planted at the beginning of the year to take advantage of the growing season.\nFollowing the West Monsoon or rainy season, watering should be done once a day, preferably in the morning. Care should be exercised in watering as too much moisture is harmful as is too little, particularly when the seed swells and starts to germinate, as there is danger of mold at this time.\n\nWhen the seed germinates, usually a month later, the bamboo screen is removed during the day, although replaced during the night to keep animals away. Light is essential to plants after sprouting and it also minimizes the danger of mold.\n\nAfter six months (sometimes earlier, depending on the elevation), the most developed plants are transplanted.\n\nSecondary seed beds. Terrain as flat as possible, preferably near water, is prepared for the seedlings. Rolling terrain is laid out in terraces. The ground is worked to a depth of two feet.\nThe cleared land is free of wood and roots, and covered with an inch or so of vegetable humus. Forked sticks about 3 feet in length are sunk six to ten inches into the ground, and alats are laid in 13 to 15 inch squares through the forks to form a frame. This cover is raised about 5 inches above the beds and lets in sufficient light and air while shielding the plaits from the full force of the rain. This frame can be removed for sprinkling during dry spells. In the first days of transplanting, it is advisable to protect the sides of beds from direct sunlight. Seedlings are placed about two inches apart in \"advanced seed beds.\" As plaits crowd each other, the smallest are removed until those left have double the originally allotted space. Weaker plants removed in the thinning out process are plaited in the nursery.\nBeds are about four inches apart. These nursery beds are laid out in the same manner as secondary seed beds, but the frame is raised higher from the ground. Plants left behind in seed beds can be covered with the leaf-covered frame, instead of the slanting roof, when it is discarded. Thus, even weak plants will tend to flourish, and ungerminated seed will sprout. This is best done towards the end of the west monsoon when showers are light, so that the left-behind plants will be ready for transplanting directly to nursery beds by the next west monsoon.\n\nThe outlined procedure for seeding and transplanting will result in well-developed, woody plant material within one and a half to two years at an elevation of 6,000 to 7,000 feet; even before one and a half years at lower elevations.\nPlanting in full ground. The best time for planting in full ground is at the beginning of the rainy monsoon. Plants which grow little or none in the nursery then get their first growth from the rains in full ground rather than in the nursery. Transplanting is best done in the early morning but should never be undertaken in the pouring rain.\n\nPits are dug a month beforehand, then refilled and marked. Damage to the roots during transplanting should be avoided. However, if any harm is inflicted, roots should be amputated with a sharp knife. Attention should be paid to placing the roots in the proper direction. They should never be bent, nor should they be planted so deeply that the roots are smothered, or so shallowly that they are light struck. Trunks should be planted as truly vertically as possible. Tops of trees can be trimmed in the nursery.\nBefore transplanting, only good woody trunks are selected. Sick plants and bastards can be used though next year for transplanting with healthy trees. They should be lifted in the nurseries for grafting. These are never spaced. The question of spacing is controversial, but the generally accepted rule is to plant Cinchona Lodgeriana at distances of 3\u2019 x 3\u2019, and to space Cinchona succirubra 4\u2019 x 4\u2019. Preliminary spacing heavily depends on the later handling of the plantation. One objection to close planting is that crowding may force the premature removal of young plants, resulting in low production. Slips are planted 3\u2019 x 3'. Close planting is desirable because a well-shadowed ground reduces upkeep costs, and the Kolopeltis insect disappears by itself when deprived of the sun's rays, thus obviating constant spraying.\nGreater production results from 3x3 spacing at 5,000 to 6,000 feet above sea level. For instance, a government plantation planted in 1904 at 3\u2019x3 gave a cumulative total over a period of seven years of 344.71 kg of Quinine Sulphate. Cultivation. Gardens should be well cared for and the ground kept cleared for the first two or three years, until a roof of leaves shades the ground, retarding growth of underbrush. The ground is not hoed after planting until six months have elapsed, and hoeing should not come too close to the trees. Ground around the trees is loosened periodically to permit infiltration of air; this is done by raking and by digging narrow trenches. Grafting is essential to the preservation of the pure botanical strain, due to the great variation in seeds.\nThe most perfect trees are propagated artificially through slips or cuttings, as well as grafting. The preferred method is grafting Cinchona Ledgeriana onto Cinchona succirubra trunks. Grafts have branches about four inches long and the thickness of a pencil. A slanting cut is made with a sharp knife about half the length of a branch. The trunk of succirubra is slit about two to three inches above the ground. This cut must be a perfectly flat one, slanting inwards from above, no deeper than one-third the thickness of the trunk. The incision must be the same length as the wedge-shaped cut of the graft, and slips must fit incisions exactly. The cut side of a graft is laid against the wound in the tree. The tree is then bound with soft, non-cutting string and sealed with grafting wax.\nPrecautions are taken to avoid damaging the cambium. To ensure a flow of sap to the graft, a semi-circular incision is made about four fingers above it. The purpose of grafting is to obtain trees whose quinine content is known, as well as to obtain the strength of a hardy succirubra combined with the superior quality of a Ledgeriana. However, up to a certain age, pure Ledgeriana trees are known to give more sulphuric-acid quinine than grafts on succirubra trunks. The alcaloid content of bark changes through the character of the succirubra, resulting in a decreased quinine content and increased cinchonidine. A 90 to 100 percent success can be counted on in grafting provided grafts are well cared for in the nurseries. Formerly, grafting took place in gardens, but experiments proved that the operation is cheaper, and better control can be exercised, when carried out in nurseries.\nGrafting is done in nurseries, except for a few dry months in Java. Grafting takes place throughout the year.\n\nGrafting wax is made by melting eight parts of rosin and one part of beef fat over a low fire. When cooked, this mixture is stirred and poured into a pan of water, then worked by hand until malleable. When the color becomes a yellowish white, the wax is made into cakes and immersed in cold water. Grafting wax should be kept in the shade. When required for sealing grafts, these cakes are melted in a copper pan.\n\nCinchona Ledgeriana trees require pruning. A plantation is well roofed after three years, and the second ceiling, formed by lower branches, must be removed. At most, only the two lowest branches are cut during the first pruning, which lets more light into the gardens. A first harvest of bark may be obtained in this manner.\nFertilizing: Due to its high nitrogen content, oil cake made from castor oil beans is the best fertilizer. After fertilizing, yellowness disappears and the plantation becomes a verdant green. Two-year-old gardens require 2 ounces, three to four-year-old plantations need 3-4 ounces, and older ones up to 1 pound per tree.\n\nHarvesting: In an average plantation, three-year-old trees are pruned for the first crop. After the fourth year, trees are pruned again and a few are hewn where they are crowded together. In following years, less bark is obtained by lopping off lower branches and more by thinning out the trees, until no more is obtained from pruning and production is solely from felling. Branches more than six feet above the ground are not removed, as trees pruned too high do not regain a good growth.\nThe crown is essential for a well-shaded ground. The latest method of harvesting is to always leave some trees as cover, which effects a saving on soil preparation and ground clearing. This also maintains a supply that can be tapped during boom periods. At 25 years of age, the trees reach their maximum quinine content. The quinine content decreases to the twelfth year and then remains constant. After six years, the quantity of bark increases but it is practically impossible to determine when the maximum quantity is reached. Whether or not an area should be replanted with the same type of Cinchona tree depends on the soil. This is generally not advisable. As time passes, sick trees appear; these are dug up and the resulting excavations are filled with Ledgeriana-grafted succirubra or hybrid trees. Holes are never left in the plantations.\nIn thinning out trees, older trees are given a chance to develop well and form greater quantities of bark. In harvesting, it's important to differentiate between bark for quinine extraction and pharmaceutical bark. The value of the latter is greater if the periderma is undamaged and adhering moss is left on the bark.\n\nBark for quinine extraction should not be cut but pounded loose from the trunk with a wooden hammer and peeled off with a horn knife. The use of steel knives is not permitted as pieces of wood may be removed with the bark. The periderma is removed from the bark by heating with a wooden hammer and later the bark is brushed off. The bark is then divided into long or short strips with a knife and peeled off the stem. This bark is known to the trade as Cortex Cinchonae Sine Epiderma.\nWomen are responsible for heating and peeling, while men fell or dig up trees for harvesting Cinchona sueci rubra. Pharmaceutical bark is harvested differently. A ring of bark is removed from the base, and the tree is felled. Bark is removed in strips, three to three feet long, which roll up into long cylinders.\n\nPrimary Processing\n\nFreshly cut strips of Cinchona sueci rubra are laid in the shade for a few days and left to curl. They are wound with bamboo rope, and a stick is inserted through the cylinder to hold them straight. Next, the strips are laid in the sun, the stick is removed, and the bark is left to dry in the open air. Drying naturally in open air preserves the silvery-white appearance desired in pharmaceutical bark. This is not always possible during large harvests as the sun does not shine very much during the west monsoon, which is the most favorable season.\nDuring the east monsoon, the periderma is loosened from the bark, reducing its value. Bark that cannot be cut into the specified cylinder lengths is harvested as \"broken pipe.\" What cannot be gathered as broken pipe is packed in hales as dust. Hoot hark of the pharmaceutical product is also boxed in pieces. If water is available, it is preferable to wash off root bark to eliminate sand.\n\nBark is graded before packing to ensure regularity of specimens. Bark from sick trees is packed separately as it is of lesser quality. Tests made at different seasons proved that the variation in quinine content is negligible. Consequently, bark can be harvested all year in Java.\n\nFresh, newly peeled bark contains about 70-75 percent of its weight in water. About 60-65 percent of this moisture is extracted.\nThe bark is eliminated by open air drying, and the remaining 10-13 percent is dried out at 125\u00b0 C. Finally, the bark is dried in a hot air machine at 100\u00b0 C. Bark processed directly in the machine without previous open air drying gives a less valuable, strongly colored product. While drying in the sun, bark is spread out in pans laid across rails. These pans can be covered at night or during rain. Careful drying prevents molding after packaging, which would reduce the value of the bark. Appearance is discounted by quinine factories, whose only interest is in bark from which a high quinine content can be easily extracted. This bark is ground to a powder and packed in jute sacks of about 220 pounds. Packages of Cinchona succirubra, which is packed in cases, weigh 130 to 200 pounds.\n\nII. PRODUCTION.\nApproximately 40,000 acres of Cinchona trees are under cultivation in Java, producing about 10,000 tons of bark annually with a quinine content of approximately 6 tons. A first harvest is gathered by pruning lower branches, followed by harvests made by felling trees during the thinning process. The quinine content of the bark increases steadily for six years, remaining fairly constant until the twelfth year with a gradual decline. The quantity of bark increases after the sixth year. Variations in cultivation, elevation, and other determining factors make it impractical to ascertain when maximum production is reached. At most, productivity can be relied upon to last twenty-five years, after which gardens are generally replanted with hybrid seedlings. A filc plantation can be renewed up to three or four times.\n[Four times, a decreased production will result from each successive Cinchona planting. Consequently, it is preferable to turn the ground over to some other crop before a new Cinchona planting is undertaken. Following is a table showing the results of tests on experimental trees at Netherlands East Indies government plantations:\n\nCO PI P P O CP rA H CO I I -P TP p sn p O' Ph OOP rH U P p i IPO to Ch i U i H P P CO O P P f s: cd j *H Ph P P P vO P P P O JC pj P t UA >H C p P P O O P \u2022rH P p P OA>-i j P P I P P p jp CO Ph TP UA >H O P P \u2022P Ph P-H P P Op P P G OA >H O of re E-i p pp PJ.

DEVIATIONS FROM OPTIMUM PHYSICAL CONDITIONS AND THEIR EFFECTS\n\nVariations in soil. No data available.\nVariations in subsoil. No data available, except that an accumulation of water in the subsoil will kill off roots lying in this cold dampness.\nVariations in drainage. Terracing offers the only drainage as drainage is too costly to be undertaken. Terraces must be absolutely level as otherwise water will accumulate in the subsoil. Unless curb pits and 'ditches are dug, the top soil will wash away.\nVariations due to direction of slope. Storms accompanying the North and Southwest Monsoons bring havoc if the slope is bared to them. For this reason, only protected slopes are used.\nVariations in rainfall. Droughts due to lateness of rainy season.\nMonsoon retreats growth. Variations in temperature. Growth is retarded in plantations above 6,600 feet (60\u00b0P), while trees tend to sicken and die within ten years when planted below 4,000 feet (68\u00b0P). Temperatures vary little during day or night in this equatorial region. The chief danger is from night frost at too high elevations.\n\nIV. DISEASES OF CINCHONA TREES\nDjamoer epas\nDjamoer oepas \u2013 caused by Corticium javanicum Zimm.\nThis mold attacks many other plants besides Cinchona, such as coffee, tea, cocoa, Hevea, nutmeg, etc. \u2013 (any of which can transmit the disease to Cinchona trees. Humidity in the air is a contributing factor to the spread of this mold, while small plants attacked by Helopeltis often become infected. The only preventative is to cut off and burn the affected areas.\n\nTrunk cancer.\nThis disease is due to a mold in the Olpidiaceae family. Trees show no signs of dead places on the bark that penetrate into the same mold, which is also the cause of root collar rot in young trees in nursery beds. This infection by Chytridiaceae, known as canker, affects the wood. The disease attacking this has failed to respond to any treatments.\n\n1/ 0 epas (Malay) - plant bane\n2/ Dr. A. Rant - \"Mededeelingen Departement van Landbouw,\" Root Mold.\n\nVarious types of root mold appear among Cinchona trees. It is typical for Cinchona trees to die off in circles around certain types of tree stumps. There is no remedy known for this.\n\nMopo\nivlop'o is a disease of young Cinchona plants caused by mold due to excessive humidity.\n\nMuch feared among the Coleoptera are the larvae of certain Melolonthidae.\nDamage to caterpillars, though temporary, is caused by the following:\n\n1. Attacus Atlas and A. ricini\n2. Daphnis hypotheus\n3. Odonestis plagifera\n4. Metanastria hyrtaca\n5. Euproctis flexuosa\n6. Cricula trifenestrata\n\nDaphnis hypotheus is difficult to trace due to its ability to match the bark color, whether brown or white. Euproctis flexuosa is best controlled by burning their nests and the young caterpillars found on the underside of the leaves.\n\nThe Cinchona tree's worst enemy is the Helopeltis Antonii. A full-grown Helopeltis measures 11 mm. The female has a reddish-brown torso, while the male is black. These insects feed on the sap of the leaves, causing them to turn brown and curl up. The worst infestation occurs at the start of the dry season, shortly after the rains cease. (In Java, this occurs during April and May.)\nHelopeltis appears mainly in low-lying plantations and seldom apparent at 6000 feet. It is remarked that the insect disappears by itself when the plantation has been roofed over. Enemies of this insect are not known; birds make no attempt to destroy them.\n\nCertain Ledgerianas suffer very little from this pest, and this type of tree is more strongly cultivated since this discovery. After an attack by Helopeltis, the trees often have a tendency to contract Corticium javanicum (Zimin), as the infected places are sensitive to mold.\n\nThe only effective control of this insect is to keep the ground perfectly cleared and to plant the trees closer together. The early \"roofing\" of the plantation eliminates Helopeltis.\n\nTABLE OF SOURCES\n\"Dr. K. W. van Gorkom's 1 Oost-Indische Cultures\" (new edition edited by Dr. H.C.

Climate\n\nThe Netherlands Indies extend from 6\u00b0 north latitude to 11\u00b0 south latitude and from 95\u00b0 to 141\u00b0 east longitude. Although it is a tropical country, Netherlands India has a moderate climate with no great extremes. Factors tempering the sun's rays are cloudiness and dampness.\nThere is no great variation in temperature even during the night. The highest temperature ever recorded in Batavia was 96.4\u00b0 and the lowest was not specified. The sun passes its zenith twice each year, reaching its height in July and December. Seasonal variations are the result of monsoons.\n\nSouthwest Monsoon\nIn July, an area of high pressure moves from Australia towards an area of low pressure in Asia, resulting in a strong southwest monsoon, originating in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Bengal. This is the so-called \"dry\" season, felt particularly on the East and Southeast coasts of Java. There is no trace of this monsoon on the west coast of Sumatra. The west monsoon starts forming about November 17 to 21. Northeast Monsoon\nIn January, the direction of atmospheric pressure is from Asia to Australia, resulting in a powerful northeast monsoon which ranges over the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea.\nTemperature readings for British India, the Arabian Sea, and the Gulf of Bengal during the rainy season or good monsoon. In Atjeh, the northernmost province of Sumatra, the west monsoon is felt at this period. The east monsoon forms around April 6-10.\n\nTemperature:\nBatavia: 6.35\u00b0F (typical of all coastal regions in Java)\nPekalongan: 5.08\u00b0F\nMedan: -\nKoepang: -\n\nTemperature averages:\nBatavia: \nSolo: \nPontianak: \nMedan: 4.57\u00b0F\nKoepang: -\n\nAbsolute maximum:\nBatavia: -\nPekalongan: -\nPontianak: -\nMedan: -\nKoepang: -\n\nAbsolute minimum:\nBatavia: -\nPekalongan: -\nPontianak: -\nMedan: 4.2\u00b0F\nKoepang: -\n\nAverage maximum:\nBatavia: -\nPekalongan: -\nPontianak: -\nMedan: 4.57\u00b0F\nKoepang: -\n\nAverage minimum:\nBatavia: 7.5\u00b0F (January), 4.6\u00b0F (July), 4.2\u00b0F (August)\nPekalongan: -\nPontianak: -\nMedan: -\nKoepang: -\n\nCloudiness: (Scale: 0 = entirely clear; 10 = entirely overcast)\nBatavia: 48.6%\nPasoeroean: 56.5%\n\nCity:\n- Percentage of possible suns (missing data)\nJan: 2.8%, Feb: 2.8%, Mar: 78.3%, Apr: 78.5%, May: 79.3%, June: 81.2%, July: 79.8%, Aug: 78.5%, Sep: 78.2%, Oct: 80.1%, Nov: 81.3%, Dec: 81.5%, Ann. 83%\n\nHighest annual rainfall for all Java: 48 inches, lowest: 27 inches.\n\nConsult appended tables for rainfall in specific areas and seasons.

Despite defeats in the Pacific and significant shipping losses off their Atlantic shores, the American people remained confident in their ultimate victory. Their belief in victory did not waver, nor did their determination to attack the Axis in every way possible. They understood what they were fighting for and believed in their war motives. Additionally, they believed in contributing to a better post-war world by spreading the President's Four Freedoms globally. Generally, they believed in the worthiness of their Allies' causes, despite some grumbling about their neighbors' perceived lack of seriousness regarding the war.\nA complaint from two-thirds of the population was proof positive that they were not complacent. They welcomed sacrifices, in fact urged more rationing, more registration for war work, more price and wage fixing. A chief concern of theirs was that their Government was not asking them to do enough. There was a spirit of offense abroad among them which showed signs of swelling into a demand for dramatic action at an early date -- action directed both at the enemy and at enlisting their own full-time efforts in the conflict.\n\nHowever, there were certain danger signals, certain soft spots in the hard core of national morale. One of these might well prove to be the people's impatience for offensive action. This spirit of offense would need to be watched to see whether it could roll with the punches it might still have to absorb before the carefully coordinated counter-offensive of total war could be launched. It might have to be spoon-fed with further actions like the bombing of Tokyo.\n[actions, although insignificant militarily, were vitally important as spring tonics, or so it had been stated. Often, the problems were rampant: oftentimes, the enemy bore before us, and we added to it. Totally ineffably, they acted, dad? Yet, they outwitted the ancient Bearotsbb, who had torn our yard, and feasted on our acres. They taunted us, and all 'Trove aimed at our head. They taunted us at our vulnerability, and tied us to the yoke, yoked us to their will. We were coal, and they stoked the fire, basing our wealth on it. \"To!

The euphemism of lend-lease would sooner or later cause bad blood if the majority continue to believe we should be repaid for all the material aid we were furnishing Britain, Russia, and China. The day would come when the enormous contributions of these Allies would have to be translated to Americans in terms of dollars and lives saved.\n\nThe specter of world Communism still haunted many Americans who were not at all sure that Russia could be depended on to cooperate with us after the war. A better understanding of Russian needs and problems, plus continuance of Stalin's current line of stressing freedom and justice for all, might help to allay their suspicions. Unchecked, they might provide a loose stone in the wall of Allied solidarity.\nA third warning flag was the strong public tendency to label labor leaders as slackers or worse during the production war. If the gap between management and labor was widened by press attacks, such as those in March against the 40-hour week, mobilization for total war would be affected. Making a scapegoat of organized labor would result in disgruntled workers doing less for the war effort. Better public relations between labor and management, as well as a coordinated government campaign to highlight labor's sacrifices in the emergency, seemed necessary.\n\nA soft spot in American public opinion as the war deepened was the uneducated, underprivileged population. Over-confidence in the nation often rested on this group. These generally underprivileged people also held a shorter-term view of the war and thought less about the ultimate goals.\n[menace of Hitler and more, settling scores with the Japs in the Pacific, two of them mergers are wide, to them bases are \"fies\" and \"to.\" Some, set them most bottom, find new revelations, Lew, we have revised \"outexamination\" of \"examination\" of, they often back, statesil, atadias tok, get a rat bite and sow a seed to extort \"avomione\" edd.

As war brought employment opportunities to millions and made manpower a more valuable commodity than in years, there was ample evidence that the country's eleven million Negroes would use the crisis to improve their status. While a great majority of them would continue to work, fight, and die for an imperfect democracy, their leaders and press were hammering away at racial discrimination and brandishing the \"white man's war\" club. Negroes interviewed on vital opinion subjects such as war length, enemy selection, all-out war against Japan, and international cooperation versus isolationism gave a higher percentage of \"Don't Know\" answers than comparable white groups. One explanation for this is:\nNegro attitudes towards the war are less crystallized. Another reason may be that Negroes have deliberately withheld their honest opinions on certain issues. A wise war administration must work steadily to remove discrimination on at least the economic and military fronts. Such action should be accompanied by an information program designed to sell American democracy over totalitarian racial persecution.\n\nAnother large segment of the body politic which showed signs of weak morale during the first months of war was the second generation Germans and Italians. Less enthusiastic in their attitudes toward the war against Germany, and more inclined to label Japan the greater menace, this group might provide fertile ground for the \"negotiated victory\" propaganda of a reborn America First Committee. It might also be more receptive to the specious appeal of the demagogue who would convert the war into a racial struggle -- one in which the war effort could be portrayed as a battle between races.\n[ \"whites\" would all join against the yellow hordes of the Orient and the Tartar-descended sons of Russia,\nThe necessity for carefully controlling enemy aliens in this country may also color the thinking of these persons of Axis nativity. Friends and relatives of theirs will be interned, but great care should be exercised to see that none of the honestly anti-Axis refugees are put behind bars. Such refugees should be given every opportunity to contribute to the war effort, both as a means of nailing down their own loyalties to democracy, and as a method of holding the full support of the second generation Germans and Italians.\nfeew have not taxed refugees to an too great extent yet.

Less than 3 percent of the people felt that we have practically licked them already or that we have virtually lost the war already. It might be argued that the 46 percent who say we \"can't possibly lose\" have some of the characteristics of complacency, but the case built on this evidence alone would be tenuous. To discover whether\nThe Division of Polls asked a nationwide cross-section in March if they thought the public was taking the war seriously. Two-thirds of the interviewees did not believe the public was taking it seriously enough, indicating that they themselves did take it seriously. About half of these people had no suggestions for making the public more aware of the war's seriousness, but those who did offered rationing and enforced economy as the most common proposal. More truth and publicity were the next most frequently mentioned suggestions. People are more likely to anticipate enemy air raids on the Pacific Coast than on the East Coast, but the disposition to anticipate raids on both coasts has increased.\nSince early January, about 70 percent of the people felt that air raids on the Pacific Coast were very probable or fairly probable in the next few weeks. About 50 percent anticipated air raids on the East Coast cities. Most of the people who thought air raids were probable believed that they would be few and far between and would not come regularly.\n\nIn early February, 55 percent of the American people felt their job was connected with the war effort either directly or indirectly; 40 percent thought their job had little or no connection with the war effort. But almost three in every four persons believed they were doing something to help in the total war effort. Regular occupations and volunteer defense work accounted for 40 percent of the things people said they were contributing by doing. A fourth said that they were buying defense bonds or stamps.\n\n(tn ie) (ee) (wae a) (ees Pp @ ae + neg ae ee | a ie ~e : ~ ee \u00ab+ a Oe a on \u00bb > a ool hay \u2014-\u00ab be . ae)\n[ \"You won't find a better steak than Steve's.

Twenty-five percent believe that there are other groups not doing as much as they could.\nThe Government, particularly politicians, government leaders, and Congress, are frequently criticized. Labor leaders are the most criticized group; two out of three people with an opinion on the matter felt they were not doing enough to help win the war.\n\nApproximately two-thirds of American people in March supported the idea of women registering for war work, and women favored this suggestion more often than men.\n\nAlthough a fourth of the people are unsure if we are producing more war material than Japan and the Axis, four out of five people with an opinion believed we were producing more than Japan and its conquered territories. However, only a small majority of those with opinions thought we were producing more than Germany and its conquered territories. Thirteen percent of the interviewees believed we were producing more than Germany and Japan combined.\n\nSacrifice.\nPrices have gone up since America entered the war, and most people felt that prices had increased quite a bit in February. Over two-thirds of the population believed that prices would continue to rise in the next year, with most anticipating a moderate increase. Nearly three-quarters of the interviewees favored government price regulation, although fewer than half were aware that Washington had already begun implementing it. Similarly, 64% approved of government regulation of salaries and wages. Most people felt that the Government had done the right thing in rationing rubber, with 86% in favor. However, they were slightly less enthusiastic about sugar rationing, with 78% still expressing support. Twenty-three percent of the respondents believed that there was some chiseling in the rationing system.\ning in tire rationing, and dealers, merchants, and manufacturers are the \ngroup most frequently mentioned as chiselers, \nThere is wide-spread approval (73%) for the idea of ration- \ning all materials in which shortages may develop instead of waiting until \nthere is a real shortage. \n| > steewoattt ole \u201ceit Dame: would tie ae | \n03 ik Aiea.

Between one-quarter and one-third of people can get short-wave stations directly from foreign countries on their radio. Of these, perhaps one-quarter to one-half have ever listened to a program broadcast from a foreign country. England, Germany, South America, and Italy are most frequently mentioned as the countries from which broadcasts have been heard.\nApproximately 10% of interviewees identified \"This is War\" as a weekly program they had listened to. Sixty-nine percent reported hearing the President's \"Message to Congress\" and fifty percent had listened to the entire speech. About thirty percent of respondents read the speech, but fewer than half of these individuals had read the entire text. Approximately ten percent of people neither read nor heard anything about the speech. Those who had heard the President's speech held more intense attitudes toward the war and were more cognizant of the gravity of the situation ahead.\n\nRegarding censorship, most individuals believed the government was justified in withholding information about Pearl Harbor, despite the fact that two-thirds of them suspected important news was still being concealed. In January, nearly two-thirds of the population felt that significant news regarding the attack on the Philippines was still being withheld.\ning held back. And at the same time, three-fourths of them felt that the \nGovernment should release news about our losses \"as soon as they are con- \nfirmed, so long as the news doesn't actually help the enemy\", A slight \nmajority of American people at the same time approved the idea of a Govern- \nment spokesman to write the war news for the papers and broadcast it over \nthe radio. \nAccuracy of Two-thirds of a national cross-section interviewed in early \nGovernment March thought the Government was giving the public as much \nInformation information as it could about the fighting in this war with- \nout helping the enemy. One-half the people considered the \nwar news the Government does release to be accurate, about 30 per cent \nthought the news made things look better than they are, and 6 per cent felt \nthe news erred on the side of pessimism, \nWea arte xoher Widedot \u00a2 tae Dros eet te ibaa \nee each ia. yt) Wares mi aby ty Sia m Cres pan hehe 7 \u2018le \nERD ones aaa na \nPinte a Rit 4 al bs \u2018 \na \u201cott pia hanes ~ \ni e \n[ap, s\n17 ethne ten Heo youd tad yee ott to batddone be sap ONG\nbeni?

When asked about the United States' response to aliens from Axis countries, approximately one-third suggested deportation, and nearly as many mentioned internment.\n\nPeople were evenly divided on the question of whether there were disloyal aliens in their communities, with about one-quarter having no opinion. Three-quarters of those who believed in disloyal aliens' presence did not think there were many. The Germans were mentioned three times more frequently than the Japanese as being disloyally suspected. The Italians were mentioned more frequently than the Japanese.\n\nA survey from early April indicated that people believed:\n\nThe Germans were disloyal.\n\"Mans are the most dangerous alien group in this country (46%). Japanese are less dangerous (35%). Regarding the Japanese alone, three-quarters of people believe those born in Japan but educated here are more dangerous than those born and educated here. Nearly as many think Japanese born in this country are less dangerous than those born in Japan. The Japanese were named as most dangerous only on the Pacific coastal areas.\n\nThere is near-unanimous approval of the Government's policy of relocating Japanese aliens from the Pacific Coast, and 60% also support moving American citizens of Japanese descent. Two-thirds of the people think Japanese relocated should be kept under strict guard, and the Government should decide their work.
