Does anyone know anything about John T. Blair?  He was a U.S.Marshal back in the 1800's.  Thank you!?

Be skeptical. Type John T. Blair into your browser. If there's any such historical figure noted on line, you'll find out something. Also go to your library, and ask if there's a book on him. If there is one, read it at your own pace. But if someone ever claims to be related to John Holiday, they'd be lying for sure, because he didn't have children. Plus the fact that everyone who knows about Holiday, knows that he was known as Doc Holiday. Anyway, back to your question. I'll have to check the book on Doc Holiday to be sure, but I think he might've used the name John T. Blair, once. Or maybe he killed him. Any idea, when in the 1800s Blair allegdely existed as a law man? What territory or town? Nearly every town, territory and  state had US Marshalls back then. Although some US Marshalls were actually deputy US Marshalls.

Yes ! I was 14 and living in Washington,  DC - my friend and I went to bike in our favorite park ( LITTLE FOREST ) and he brought his dad's metal detector along. There was once a fort     (or fortification) that the soldiers used from the war against the British and during the civil war. We thought that would be a great place to look for goodies and we were right !  We found three stashes of gold coins and relics glore that had  been ( delibrately ) buried since George Washington's & Abe Lincoln's presidencies !   Amazing ( net worth ) then in 1970,  $10,000+   Now - I ain't goin' to say !!!

Saturday, June 25, 2005\nGeneral Custer-My Perspective \n\nToday is the 129 anniversary of what us whites call Custer's Last Stand or the Little Big Horn. The Lakota, Ogalla, And Cheyenne call Gressy Grass. There are several reasons that this is important and I will get into it later.\n\nFirst of all the Rank at the time of Gressy Grass was Lt. Colonel, but due to his brevetted Rank in the Civil War was Major General. So if a person were to address him it would be General. It is the same as we refer to President Reagan after he left office, becaue he earned the title. The only way he would have lost the right to be called General is if he was demoted due to an infraction of military law. At the time he was posted here at Fort Lincoln Southwest of Bismarck, Dakota Territory was the need for generals was not as great.\n\nDuring the Civil War he was considered the North premiere Calvary General were he perfected dividing his force and strategy that generations of historians would pan him for the last four decades.\n\nFirst off, General Custer was arrogant, or maybe just overconfident. Although is it really arrogance when you can do what you think you can.\nIf he were as bad a character that the modern day historian claim he was.\n(There is a theory that Reno and Benteen set him up to fail.)\n\nHis orders were vague, he and the seventh Calvary was supposed to meet up with General Terry sometime. He was offered gattlin guns. Some historians think that this might have saved him. There are three problems with this the terrain is incredibly hilly with a lot of coolies making it hard to get them set up. A gattlin gun weighed over a ton and would slow down a Calvary unit (the Calvary Unit of the 19th century were considered to be akin to our special forces today. The Calvary units were quick attack units. Third, black powder had a tendency to jam regularly. I wouldn't have wanted them.\n\nI think that he found the village to soon. The rule of thumb if you could see an indian They KNEW you were there. I will grant you that he didn't listen to his scouts, but the number of warriors in the village I don't think anyone would have comprehended. There is a possibility that he was going to fight a holding action. Trying to hold out tell the three columns of Sheridan and the other Generals. Sheridan and the other two Generals were held up they weren't where they were late because they encountered other Nations on the way.\n\nThe morning of the battle Custer divided his command of about 100 troopers into three commands under Reno and Benteen. (Later in Reno's military career his was court martialed for assaulting his commanding officers daughter). This was so they could surround the village. The last order out from Custer was for Benteen to "bring packs big village." He didn't. Reno was surrounded for a time but when one of his sergeants brains were blown out Reno took off running.\n\nHere is the victor's perspective. Months before the Battle Sitting Bull had a vision of soldiers falling into the village. The interesting part of the vision for me was the warning not to take anything from the soldiers or they would loose the war. His warning was headed. (Kinda harkens back to Joshua and the fall of Jericho when he warned them not to take anything, but Achan did and they lost the next battle Joshua 6-7 Makes me ponder what would have happened if the Nations would have heeded the warning).\n\nCrazy Horse was a very formidable General. The terrain really lent a hand to the way the Lakota, Ogalla, and Cheyenne fought. It gave the warriors a lot of cover. The yellow boy Winchester 10 round magazine repeating rifle for close quarter fighting is very formidable against a single shot Spencer carbine. Not including recurve bows. The warriors were trained from an early age to fight one-on-one. The stiff formations of the Calvary didn't work well because the Warrior fought outside of the box.\n\nThe importance o

But I must give you a background information first. And therefore I am starting to talk about 1850s. We didnt have a standing federal army and we have never thought of having one bec. we thought that no one would attack so big a country like ours. But then things started to change. We feared from loosing our commercial interests all over the world to England which was the greatest threat for our well-being in the second half of the 19th century. So our standing army was established as a Navy to protect our commercial ships and interests overseas. We always tried to adjust our filos by comparing our power with that of England. We were very careful to maintain a few more and larger ships than those of England. Iam not sure if I have to relate everything in a more detailed way. Would you please clarify what exactly you want to know

sorry i cant give my address already to many strangers got due to my picture flying through the internet. but try to find a friend that happens to be a soldier near by his AKO acct has acces to the information you request. Hopefully he/she is willing to help you. the army is a big place so unless you know what unit he went to its like finding a needle in a stack of needles.I used to see this all the time in Bragg, people would ask for their son/brother etc if we know them . And we keep telling them without their unit or MOS we cant narrow down anything due to our post being the size of a city.

You can call or write the web site cited below and ask for Kay Jorgensen and ask for the advertiser who runs a company who supplies that information (He does any gun not just Civil War Guns) for which you are asking.  Come to think of it you could write or call her at  mail@civilwarnews.com or  1(800) 777-1862.  Tell her Gary sent you, she'll never figure it out.  :-)  God Bless You and The Southern People.

I hate to do this but I've just got to respond t a_ranger_ boy. I hate to break to you but your beloved commander in cheif does not care about you. He's sent you to fight for an un-just 'cause. As far as "Where the bullets meet the meat" I've been there. So have a-lot of people who oppose the pres. I thought the marines were brain washed not the army. BTW I feel for you being over there and I hope you return safely but sadly you are not defending any americans right to anything. Sorry. You are being used.

There was an article about the Admiral Nelson in US News and World Report a few months ago.  He really did lose an arm and won several naval victories.  Great leader.
