Review of \u3ci\u3eBuffalo Soldiers and Officers of the Ninth Cavalry, 1867-1898: Black & White Together\u3c/i\u3e By Charles L. Kenner
No full textCharles Kenner presents a vivid portrait of some of the men and officers of one of the four regiments of black enlisted men and mostly white officers in the post-Civil War army. This regimental cast runs the gamut from the dedicated and gallant to bigots and bullies. There is Colonel Edward Hatch, who commanded the Ninth for twenty-three years, and Major Guy V. Henry, a tireless cheerleader for the regiment and his own career. Here, too, are rankers of all degrees of competence, such as Emanuel Stance, a Medal of Honor winner so hated he was probably murdered by fellow soldiers. Kenner also sketches the service of three black officers: West Pointers John H. Alexander and Charles Young, and Chaplain Henry V. Plummer. Such men, according to Kenner, forged the Ninth into an elite regiment.
The Ninth Cavalry received the same arms and equipment and had the same duties as other units in the multi-purpose frontier force. Kenner traces the Ninth\u27s long service in Texas, followed by a shift to New Mexico and Colorado, and then a final transfer to Oklahoma Territory and posts on the Northern Plains. Constant patrols, occasional combat, pushing Indians onto reservations, preventing white incursions onto these lands, aiding civilian law officers, escorting cattle drives, and delivering the mail were all part of the regiment\u27s varied activities. In an excellent introductory chapter Kenner notes that few desertions and frequent re-enlistments gave the Ninth a cadre of experienced veterans.
Kenner correctly places race and racism at the center of his study. This is a fascinating look at the delicate relationship, the frail entente, between white officers and black soldiers.
The research is first-rate. Kenner has made especially good use of the wealth of information found in military records. Unlike some white observers, black soldiers wrote little; but Kenner found their voice in military personnel, pension, and court martial records. This is a welcome and well-documented look at some men who might otherwise be forgotten.
Regrettably, the book is flawed by the author\u27s admission of a psychological affinity for underdogs. Kenner\u27s black soldiers thirst for honor, one suffers martyrdom, and a lynch mob could not have perpetrated a greater miscarriage of justice against another. The same bias fuels Kenner\u27s use of such terms as elite, esprit de corps, and years of glory. These personal statements ignore or exaggerate the evidence. During thirty years of frontier service, the\u27 men and officers of the Ninth Cavalry compiled a creditable record. The story of these soldiers and their regiment needs telling, but embellishments are unnecessary
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
