‎Egan, Thomas W. [Civil War General]‎

‎ALS to Edwards Pierrepoint seeking help to get him released from Ward's Island Insane Asylum‎

‎New York 1885. Manuscript. Very good condition. A Civil War example of severe PTSD. The Northern general and war hero Brevet Major General Thomas Egan was severely wounded four times during the war. His marriage broke down his only child was taken by his ex-wife to England and he degenerated into alcoholism. After being arrested for public intoxication in early July 1884 he was sentenced to Ward's Island Insane Asylum. This letter is his appeal to Pierrepont to secure his release. The return address is "Wards Island Insane Asylum Hospital Ward 2" which is heartbreaking.<br /> <br /> Egan's argument in the letter refers to Dr. Alex E. Macdonald sic 'the person that pronunced Guiteau sain sic that murdered President Garfield .not legible that Mr. H was insain won't you for the Lords sake see Mayor Grace or the commission and have me discharged shurley sic I deserve better of my country a record second to no soldier on Earth which Genl Grant will certify." Dr. Alex Macdonald was a prominent American physician and psychologist. In 1885 he was a resident physican at the New York City Asylum for the Insane on Ward's Island and would become superintendent the next year. Mr. H may refer to Allan McHale Hamilton who was an expert witness regarding Guiteau Garfield's assassin and pronounced him sane.<br /> <br /> Dr. R. Gregory Lande fittingly noted “The bullets and bombs stopped in 1865 but the social shock waves were just beginning.†As General Egan demonstrated many disabled veterans endured decades of poverty chronic pain and emotional distress long after the guns fell silent. “Down Fame’s Ladderâ€: Brigadier General Thomas W. Egan’s Unending War" by Frank Jastrzembski Posted on July 29 2019.<br /> <br /> Pierrepont 1817-1892 was an American attorney reformer jurist traveler New York U.S. Attorney U.S. Attorney General U.S. Minister to England and orator.1 Having graduated from Yale in 1837 Pierrepont studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1840.

‎[Spanish-American War – Philippine Insurrection – Kansas – Cartography] Cowles, Leman; Sellner, Geo.; et al.‎

‎Cowles Family Archive with Letters Written by Leman Cowles from the Philippines During the Spanish-American War and Philippine Insurrection and Various Items Kept by Cowles During His Service Including a Scarce Map of American Military Operations in the Region‎

‎Philippines; Eldorado Kansas; and others 1910. Approximately 120 pieces: fifty-seven letters forty postcards five photographs seventeen pieces of miscellaneous personal effects and a map measuring 31 x 19 ¾ inches. Map attributed to Geo C. Sellner rolled with marginal tearing some tearing intersecting with subject; inscribed verso “L.T. Cowles. Manila P.I. June 27 1800â€; good to very good minus. Overall very good to excellent. Leman Tracy Cowles 1868–1947 was born in Eldorado Kansas and served in the Philippines with Company F of the 20th Kansas Volunteer Infantry. He writes here to his parents homeopathic doctor Edwin Cowles 1820–1910 and Sarah McDuffee Cowles 1840–1912; other correspondents include Cowles siblings Olive Josephine 1873–1963 Edgar Andrew 1882–1961 and Alson Joseph 1883–1911.<br /> <br /> Of primary interest in the group are letter and materials from Leman Cowles who served in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War and Philippine Insurrection. His letters most of which were written between 1898 and 1899 document daily life and combat with the “Fighting Twentiethâ€. <br /> <br /> Cowles first spends five months at Camps Merritt and Merriam in San Francisco which are hotbeds of disease and misbehavior; Cowles himself is robbed by a high-ranking enlisted man:<br /> <br /> “I partly woke up thinking my pillow was going off the bead bed . I put my hand back to prevent the things from falling out when I realized a scratching on the canvass tent and a step on the board step out side. I jumped down to the floor out the door when there he was not 35 feet away starting off on a run – I yelled ‘Here!’ and started for him but I don’t think you could have made him run harder. As I was not sure he had my money watch went back to see I did not know just where he went but I heard him go into a tent I thought I was sure it was one of the two first sargents tents.†September 1898<br /> <br /> Cowles arrives in Manila in December of 1898 where the regiment spends several months; he reports seeing Spanish prisoners of war “all over town†and that they “seem to be in very good condition†and “have quite a good deal of liberty†December 13. He next writes from Caloocan which the Kansas regiment occupied from February to late March of 1899 and where he first describes seeing action:<br /> <br /> “About 3-30 last night the nigs began shooting a lively tune and I was sound asleep. I tumbled out of my dog tent so fast I fell all over myself. . We didn’t shoot any this morning. I see a big smoke of some native bamboo shack burning in the edge of Malabon. Theres a stronger talk than ever about the enemys having a machine gun. They are yelling some this morning. Last eve something unusual seemed to be going on. What was it I heard Can it be Yes! Hundreds of niggers far up the line yelling at the top of their voices. But what about It grows more distinct and the little knots of boys who are telling tales of home and younger days begin to listen the to separate as the yells come along the line nearer our front. Now thousands of the black rascals have taken up the yell and in front of us clear to the left it rings. . This morning I heard the Nebraskas had rec’d some word of their going home and expressed their feelings in cheers. The enemy took it up. Something is ‘Gwine ter drap’ as the darkey said in a day or so the way things are shaping themselves.†March 22 1899<br /> Cowles writes again in April from Calumpit about General Funston’s crossing which he witnessed:<br /> “If you saw an account of Funston crossing the Rio Grand Pampanga at this place you will have read what I saw and I think it will go down in history. The canonading and infantry fire was somthing never to be forgotten by a witness. They had trenches . on the farther bank and covered top and front with iron. I afterwords saw where one of our shot had cut a 8 ½ ft. piece off a railroad rail also knocking a large piece from a section of cast iron bridge pier that was used as a cover and then went into the trench. From the way it made things fly I am sorry for the poor insurrectos in the neighborhood. They used an old muzzle loading brass cannon against us but with no effect as their aim was poor or the charge of improper purportion.†April 28 1899<br /> <br /> The map included in the group belonging to Leman Cowles is dated to around this time. It shows five provinces in Luzon with positions of the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay and the US plan of attack on it.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile the three other Cowles siblings attend college: Olive at Ottawa University in Kansas and Edgar and Alson at Kansas State University. Olive is involved with Baptist missionary work while her brothers’ careers are more technical. Their letters mainly concern coursework though later letters from Alson discuss his time as an electrical engineer with Allis-Chalmers.<br /> <br /> Overall an illuminating set of letters on the Philippine-American conflict with the remainder of the family’s correspondence and the material on homeopathy providing additional context and breadth. Of interest to scholars of the Philippine-American War the Kansas Volunteer Infantry and more broadly of family histories from the region and period. unknown‎
