War, like necessity, has been called the mother of invention. The same might be said of cartography, for with every war there is a great rush to produce maps to aid in understanding the nature of the land over which armies will move and fight, to plan engagements and the deployment of troops, and to record victories for posterity to study and admire. The American Civil War is a classic example of the effect that war has had on cartography.

Need Suggestions, I am wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a possibility of finding person's living on the Upper Sandusky (Ohio) Reservation in the 1830 Census? I have searched for days trying to figure out if the reservation at that time was in Seneca or Crawford Co, (what twp's) as Wyandotte County wasn't formed until 1845. I have to browse, because I just have access to Heritage Quest, and am getting "nowhere" by browsing! My Alexander Williams great grandfather was NA, but many of the wives through the generations were NA, I had hoped to find him in the 1830 Census, because he died in 1837, and want to know WHAT COUNTY TO CONTACT to try to find some kind of Estate Papers concerning him. Want some kind of documentation for my Records. So, would the records for 1837 have been kept in whatever county the Reservation was in at that time, or would they be in Wyandotte Co because that is what county the Reservation eventually became? I would very much appreciate any suggestion any list members may have for me, because I have been "browsing" the 1830 census for days, and getting nowwhere. Thanks for any help, Sherry Morell Shelts sshelts@absolute-net.com

Old Spanish Trail .. - This trail was a route from Santa Fe, New Mexico, northwest to about Castle Dale, Utah then southwest to Los Angeles, California. A trade route was needed to move goods and information between the settlement at Santa Fe and the coast of California where the mission system was being built. Rivera was shown a trail by the local Native Americans which became part of this historical trail. It took Antonio Armijo 84 days to travel from Abiquiu, New Mexico, to Los Angeles in that first pack train in 1829-30. Escalante and Garces had travelled through the area. In 1829 Jedediah Smith explored and laid out the trail that was to become a major thoroughfare for mule trains and, later, wagon trains. John C. Fremont returned back east on the OST (as it is referred to in some modern documents). http://www.americanwest.com/trails/pages/oldsptrl.htm The Oregon Trail .. On to Oregon! It all began with a crude network of rutted traces across the land from the Mississippi River that was used by nearly 400,000 people. Today the 2,170 mile Oregon Trail still evokes an instant image, a ready recollection of the settlement of this continent, of the differences between American Indians and white settlers, and of new horizons. In 1840 only three states existed west of the Mississippi River. Maine's boundary with Canada was undefined. The western boundaries of the Nation lay roughly along the Continental Divide. Within 10 years the United States and Great Britain had drawn a boundary that stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The western boundary moved from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. In another 40 years successive waves of emigrants completely eliminated any sense of frontier, changed the way of life of the American Indians, and ravaged many wild animal species, especially the herds of buffalo. Plows and barbed wire subdued the prairies. Transcontinental railroads knitted the great distances together. The first Europeans to see the trans-Mississippi West were the mountain men, trappers, and the maritime explorers along the west coast. In Canada, the Hudson's Bay Company fur frontier was approaching the Columbia River basin. In 1812 John Jacob Astor established Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia in a countermove and sent Robert Stuart overland to carry dispatches east. Stuart found South Pass by following a Crow Indian Trail. Only 7,000 feet above sea level, with easy gradients. South Pass has an attractive geographic proximity to the upper reaches of the Platte River. Both were determining factors in the routing of the Oregon trail. The early frontiersmen found the passes, crossed the great rivers, and defined the vast reaches of the western interior. From the beginning these explorers contributed to a growing campaign to make the Oregon Country a part of either the United States or Great Britain according to their own sometimes confused loyalties.

It's a little late for Black History Month BUT makes for interesting info provided. .. Sally March 3, 1865 .. Freedman's Bureau created President Lincoln signs a bill creating the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands. Known as the Freedmen's Bureau, this federal agency oversaw the difficult transition of blacks from slavery to freedom. The Freedman's Bureau was born out of abolitionist concern for freed slaves during the war. Union General Oliver O. Howard served as commissioner for the entire seven years of the bureau's existence. The bureau was given power to dispense relief to both white and black refugees in the South, to provide medical care and education, and to redistribute "abandoned" lands to former slaves. The latter task was probably the most effective measure to ensure the prosperity and security of the freedmen, but it was also extremely difficult to enact. Many factors stymied the bureau's work. White southerners were very hostile to the Yankee bureau members, and even more hostile to the freedmen. Terror organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan targeted both blacks and whites and intimidated those trying to improve the lives of the freedmen. The bureau lacked the necessary funds and personnel to carry out its programs, and the lenient policies of Andrew Johnson's administration encouraged resistance. Most of the land confiscated from Confederates was eventually restored to the original owners, so there was little opportunity for black land ownership. Although the Freedman's Bureau was not able to provide long-term protection for blacks, nor did it ensure any real measure of equality, it did signal the introduction of the federal government into issues of social welfare and labor relations.

The Plymouth Colony Archive Project Death's Head, Cherub, Urn and Willow by James Deetz and Edwin S. Dethlefsen Originally published in Natural History Vol. 76(3) 1967, pp. 29-37. An unusual kind of archeological detective work yields new insights into the spread of culture through colonial New England. It also tests the science of archaeology for accuracy. Enter almost any cemetery in eastern Massachusetts that was in use during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Inspect the stones and the designs carved at their tops, and you will discover that three motifs are present. These motifs have distinctive periods of popularity, each replacing the other in a sequence that is repeated time and time again in all cemeteries between Worcester and the Atlantic, and from New Hampshire to Cape Cod. The earliest of the three is a winged death's head, with blank eyes and a grinning visage. Earlier versions are quite ornate, but as time passes, they become less elaborate. Sometime during the eighteenth century -- the time varies according to location -- the grim death's head designs are replaced, more or less quickly, by winged cherubs. This design also goes through a gradual simplification of form with time. By the late 1700's or early 1800's, again depending on where you are observing, the cherubs are replaced by stones decorated with a willow tree overhanging a pedestaled urn. If the cemetery you are visiting is in a rural area, the chances are quite good that you will also find other designs, which may even completely replace one or more of the three primary designs at certain periods. If you were to search cemeteries in the same area, you would find that these other designs have a much more local distribution. In and around Boston, however, only the three primary designs would be present. For complete article: http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/users/deetz/Plymouth/deathshead.html

POW Website Fills Gaps for Some WWII Family Histories Thanks to Fred Beisser, who found a story by Colin Joyce of the London Daily Telegram, which appeared recently in the Washington Times Insider we learn that: Nearly 60 years after the end of World War II, Japanese researchers have compiled a comprehensive database detailing the fate of the 3,526 Allied prisoners of war who died in Japan between 1941 and 1945. The database was created by the POW Research Network Japan, a group of independent researchers who built on the records of the Commonwealth Graves Commission. A breakthrough came with the discovery in the National Diet Library in Tokyo of a forgotten microfiche, almost illegible in places, of records made by the postwar Allied occupation authorities, who had garnered details of the fate of POWs by questioning camp survivors and former guards. The database can be accessed at: http://homepage3.nifty.com/pow-j/e/
