    Extractions: About Bob Henry Ossian Flipper's life (1856-1940) is the story of dramatic social change in America that marked the post-Civil War period when newly freed blacks struggled for recognition and equality. Born a slave in Thomasville, Georgia, Flipper grew up in Atlanta. An outstanding student, he was the third black to be accepted at West Point Military Academy and the first to graduate. His first assignment was at Fort Still, Oklahoma (Indian Territory), as the black officers of the 10th Calvary "Buffalo Soldiers". There he used his civil engineering training and talents to reduce the spread of malaria by building a drainage ditch. "Flipper's Ditch is now a National Historic Landmark. In the summer of 1881 at Fort Davis, Texas, he fell victim to racial prejudice and was accused of embezzling government funds and "conduct unbecoming an officer". Acquitted of the first charge, but determined guilty of the second, he was dismissed from his beloved army. IN spite of this tragic end to his military career, he then began an outstanding career as a mining engineer. While the climax of the play is Flipper's trial, some lesser known events that follow give an unusual insight into his character. Held in Trust is a magnificent display of showmanship; emotional, gripping, factual, unfortunately true, highly recommended, and well worth attending. -JH Polk, General USA, Ret.

    Extractions: At the end of the Civil War, the United States possessed the largest, most experienced, active armed force in the world. Within two years that massive force was gone, its citizen volunteers back on the farm and in the factories. The army and navy returned to traditional duties with their organizations virtually unchanged, although Congress added two infantry and two cavalry regiments of African Americans to the army. For the remainder of the nineteenth century the army served the nation much as it had before 1860. It served largely in the trans-Mississippi west policing or subduing Native Americans. In a series of campaigns beginning in 1866 and culminating in the late 1870s, soldiers broke the power of the Plains Indians and confined them to reservations. They repeated the process in the southwest in the early 1880s. As part of the effort to quell Native Americans the army assisted in the construction of the great transcontinental railroads. The army also continued to act as the nation's police force. It faced frustration in enforcing Reconstruction policy in the south and most soldiers welcomed relief from that failed experiment. As Reconstruction ended, however, the army suppressed rioting railroad workers in 1877, performed similar service during the 1894 Pullman strike, and intervened in lesser labor upheavals through the early 1900s. On all other counts, postwar army life resembled an earlier era of mundane garrison duty in small posts scattered across the nation.
