First edition. SIGNED/INSCRIBED BY THE EDITOR GENERAL HENRY WHITING and by his son Henry M. Whiting, who served in the U.S. Mexican War. Rare ephemera announcing the death and mourning period of General Henry Whiting is tipped in. Colonel and Brevet Brigadier General Henry Whiting was commissioned a Cornet of Dragoons, October 20, 1808 and served on the Niagara frontier in the War of 1812 with Great Britain. In the War with Mexico he served as Quartermaster General. His father, Col. John Whiting of the 5th U.S. Infantry was Adjutant of the 2d Regiment of the Massachusetts Line commanded by Lieut.-Col. Commandant E. Sproat. He preserved most if not all of the Orders from General Washington. These fascinating Orders cover matters great and small: the discipline of the troops, health and sanitation, the organization of the army and its support services, and a uniform system of manoeuvres. Throughout the Orders, Washington evidences deep concern for his soliders as well as civilians, a deep spirituality, and his gratitude for the support from France. Rebacked with original decorated silk boards, new endpapers. Very good. Signed by Editor First Edition Cloth 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall

Durbin, Elizabeth (ed.) / Wisconsin Academy review Volume 25, Number 4 (September 1979)
Goff, Charles D. Captain Whiting's journal, pp. 3-10
The current is so furious as often to s,weep a man off his feet . . . compatible with a still later demonstration of a Lake Nipissing stage of Lake Michigan some 50 feet above modern levels. Whiting's discussion of the feasibility of a canal at Portage preceded by a decade, the promo- tion of the same idea by Morgan L. Martin, organizer of the company that built the Fox River im- provements. Whiting's watercolored field sketches of Fox-Wisconsin valley landscapes and maps are probably the oldest landscape paintings and maps of Wisconsin sites done dur- ing Michigan Territorial days by an American citizen. If the title "First Wisconsin Scientist" is accorded to the person who first published a series of es- sentially scientific observations and conclusions about Wisconsin phenomena, and if the title "First Wisconsin Artist" is accorded to the white American who first painted a Wisconsin scene, it would seem that Captain Henry Whiting should have at least a share in both titles. Whiting's Journal was a report to the US War Department describing the movement of the Fifth Infantry Regiment from Green Bay to Prairie du Chien. The American Army, after the War of 1812, had adopted a long-term policy of building and garrisoning a system of frontier forts extending from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico. In Wisconsin and closely adjacent areas, for example, forts were built at Green Bay (Fort Howard) in 1816, Prairie du Chien (Fort Craw- ford) in 1817, Rock Island, Illinois (Fort Armstrong) in 1817, and St. Peters i.e. present day St. Paul, Minnesota (Fort Snelling) in 1819. A modest incident in the implemen- tation of this policy was the redeployment of the US Fifth In- fantry Regiment from Detroit to Green Bay to Prairie du Chien to St. Paul in the summer of 1819. Captain Whiting's Journal describing the route was illustrated by seven colored sketches and three maps; the report received commen- dation from the then Secretary of War, John C. Calhoun. Neither Journal sketches nor maps have ever been published. The sketches and maps are presented here for the first time together with extracts from the text. Captain Whiting was a career soldier in the United States Army. He was born into a military family on November 28, 1788, his father, John Whiting, having risen to the rank of brigadier general of the Massachusetts Militia in the American Revolution. At the time of his retirement at the end of the War of 1812 John Whiting was the lieutenant colonel of the US Fifth Infantry Regiment. We can surmise that young Henry Whiting was well educated for his day because of the percep- tive awareness of geology and physical geography expressed in his writing and also because of its scientific restraint. He apparently also had a detailed acquaintance with the physical geography of Europe from Spain to Sweden, which suggests that his education may have included travel in Europe. The fact that his sister, Carolyn Lee Whiting Hentz, was a noted 19th century author may also imply that Captain Whiting was at least as well-educated. In any case, Henry Whiting enlisted in the US Army on October 20, 1808, at the age of 20, as a coronet of light dragoons. Whiting's military history shows he was promoted to second lieuten- ant on September 15, 1809, and to first lieutenant on August 20, 1811. During the War of 1812 First Lieutenant Henry Whiting served on the Niagara frontier as an aid to General John F. Boyd and served with credit in the capture on May 27, 1813 of Fort George, a British- Canadian fort in the Canadian province of Ontario a short way down the St. Lawrence River from Lake Ontario. In 1815 Lieutenant Whiting was an aide to General Alexander Macomb at Detroit and was transferred on May 17, 1815 to the Fifth Infantry, his father's old regi- ment, then stationed at Detroit. Whiting was promoted to captain on March 3, 1817. In 1819 the Fifth Infantry was assigned the mission of traveling from Detroit to St. Peters, selecting a suitable site for a fort, then building and garrisoning what is known today as Fort Snell- ing at St. Paul, Minnesota. Pur- suent to these orders, Colonel Leavenworth and the Fifth Infan- try Regiment embarked on sailing vessel transports at Detroit in May 1819, sailed to Green Bay, reloaded their equipment and supplies into 4/Wisconsin Academy Review/September 1979

32 batteaux, which had been built for them at Green Bay, and movedout toward the Mississippi River on June 7, 1819.After the Fifth Regiment reached
the Mississippi, Colonel Leavenworth detached troops to
garrison both Fort Crawford at Prairie du Chien and Fort Armstrong at Rock Island, Illinois,the remainder of the regiment proceeding upriver in their
batteaux to St. Peters. Captain Whiting did not accompany the
regiment up the Mississippi as he was ordered back to Detroit with
messages for the commanding general, and with Whiting's own
"survey" of the Fox-Wisconsin Rivers. Captain Whiting's Journal is a
chronological account of each day's activity of the regiment in his
march, and included meticulous observations concerning the depth
of the water, the direction of the river virtually every time it changed
from the principal points of the compass, and supplementary comments and speculations about the character and geographic origin of the terrain formations through which the regiment was passing. Whiting embellished his report to General Macomb with excellent field sketches which he water-
colored. The report was forwarded by General Macomb to the US Secretary of War, John C. Calhoun,who commented, in a letter to Major General A. Macomb on
September 20, 1819: Sir: Your letter . .. enclosing a copy of the survey of the Fox and Ouisconsin rivers including the portage by Capt. Henry Whiting . . . has been received. The accurate and able manner in which the sketch by Capt.
Green Bay ... now contains about fifty houses and two or three hundred in-
habitants, who are mostly French married to Indians. Whiting has been executed affords the Department much satisfaction....J.C.C.
An outline of Whiting's subsequent career may help the reader to see him in better perspective. After completing his report on the Fifth Infantry's march from Green Bay to Prairie du Chien, Captain Whiting served on the staff of Ma-
jor General Macomb at Detroit. He was transferred to the First Artillery on June 1, 1821, promoted to major in 1824, transferred to the quartermaster department in 1835,and promoted to lieutenant colonel on July 7, 1838, and to colonel on April 21, 1846.
In the Mexican War Colonel Whiting was assigned to the army of General Zachary Taylor on July 6, 1846, as chief quartermaster. Colonel Whiting
was a participant in the Battle of Buena Vista, was brevetted as brigadier general for his "gallant and meritorious conduct," and subsequently retired on February 23, 1847.
On retirement from the army, Colonel Whiting returned to Detroit where he was elected a regent of the University of Michigan in 1848. In retirement he
continued his lifelong interest in a wide variety of military, scientific
and literary matters until his sudden death at St. Louis on
September 16, 1851. As a tribute of . .beautiful banks, sloping to the water
from a height of 20 or 30 feet and
crowned with thrifty oaks.

respect to Whiting's memory, the staff of the quartermaster department to which he had belonged were ordered by Major General Scott to wear the prescribed badge of mourning for 30 days.
The publication record of Henry Whiting indicates that he possessed wide interests and impressive talents. His bibliography includes a book, The Age of Steam; a Biography of Zebulon Pike, which appeared in Sparks' American
Biography; the editing of a volume, George Washington's Military Orders; and the joint authorship of a book, Historical and Scientific Sketches of Michigan. Whiting was a periodic contributor to the North American Review and seems to have been fascinated with American Indians. He published three narrative poems and his Sannillac, which had notes by
Michigan governor Lewis Cass and the famous Indian agent/anthropologist/writer, Henry R. Schoolcraft.
Captain Whiting's Journal was written when present day Wisconsin was part of Michigan Territory. The Fox-Wisconsin Rivers along which the Fifth Regiment voyaged had been fur trading country fortwo centuries. Hundreds of French
and British explorers, fur traders,priests and soldiers had passed this
way. Yet Whiting was an observer of these two valleys before more than a very few settlers had begun to live there permanently and before there were any significant works of man to change the wilderness face of the land.
When the Fifth Infantry Regiment arrived at Green Bay in Michigan Territory in 'the last week of May 1819, they made preparations at Fort Howard to
proceed westward via the Fox- September 1979/Wisconsin Academy Review/5

In The Senate of the United States
--------------------
May 15, 1860 -- Ordered to be printed.
-------------------
Mr. Powell made the following
REPORT.
[tO ACCOMPANY BILL s.445)
THE Committee on Pensions, to whom was referred the petition of Louisa T. Whiting, widow of Brevet Major Fabius Whiting, having had the same under consideration, beg leave to report:
That it appears from the records of the War Department, "that Fabius Whiting was apointed second lieutenant, 10th February, 1812; promoted first lieutenant, 20th June, 1813; promoted captain 10th September, 1819; brevet major, 10th September 1829, for faithful service ten years in one grade; and died 16th May, 1842, at Lancaster, Massachusetts."
His widow prays for a pension, and asserts that he died by reason of disabilities contractd while in the line of his duty in the service of the United States.
It appears from Major Whiting's own affidavit, made in 1835, that while stationed at Fort Constitution he was severely injured in the right knee joint, by stepping upon a fragment of ice, and, his foot slipping, falling violently.
This was at a late hour at night, on his return from the guard house, whither he had been on official duty. Date of the injury, 10th January, 1823.
John Preble, who was on guard on that niht, corrobrates the statement of Major Whiting.
A certified copy of an affidavit of J. Goodhue, who was as assitant surgeon, shows that he was called to attend Major Whiting the next morning,and found him so lame that he was obliged to use crutches.
Z. Chickering, a sergeant in Captain Whiting's company, testifies that he did not see the fall, but was at the time informed of the circumstances, and knows that he was more or less lame from the injury until he (Chickering)left the service, some three years subsequently.
Assistant Surgeon Berr--during which time he was oy certifies that he was stationed with Captain Whiting at Bellona arsenal, Virginia, about one year--in 1832 and 1833-- during which time he was constantly afflicted with a lameness in his right knee, which always, more or less, afflicted with a lameness in his right knee, which always, more of less, affected his joing, at times obliging him to limp in a marked manner.
In 1834 Assistant Surgeon Martin certifies to hiscontinued disasbility from some internal disarrangement of his right knee joint.
Sureon Z. Pitcher, United States army, in 1836, certifies to the same.
Assistant Surgeon Archer,same year,corroborates the above.
The following is a copy of the last report furnished to the Ward Department, February 28, 1842:
"My patient, Major F. Whiting, of thefirst regiment United States artillery,remains nearly as reported January 31, 1842. His mind, I think, is becomming still more impaired than several weeks since, while his physical powers are not in the least improved. The chronic affections of the knee, liver, &c., remain without improvement. There does not appear to me to be a probability that he will ever be restored to anything like health again. "Respectfully, "Henry Lincoln, M.D."
Your committee, therefore, after a careful examination of the case are of the opinion that the petitioner is entitled to relief, and report a bill accordingly.

Civil War Union Naval Officer. Entering the United States Navy on March 1, 1841 as a midshipman, he was serving on the sloop “Levant” on July 7, 1846 when the American flag was first raised on the Pacific Coast at the capture of Monterey, California. He then attended the United States Naval Academy from 1847 to 1848 and was graduated. He was promoted to Lieutenant on September 14, 1855, and was serving on the steam frigate "Niagara" when the first Atlantic cable was laid in 1857. After the outbreak of the Civil War, he served as the executive officer of the sloop "USS Vandalia" at the capture of Port Royal in 1861, and commanded the steamer "USS Wyandotte" on the South Atlantic blockade and in the Potomac flotilla. He was promoted to Lieutenant Commander in July, 1862 and participated in the attacks on the defenses of Charleston while aboard the gunboat "USS Ottawa". From 1864 to 1865 he commanded the "USS Savannah," in the Eastern Gulf station. He held a succession of commander after the end of the war. On July 25, 1866, he received his commission as Commander and was aboard the steamer "USS Tioga", off the coast of Maine and in the Gulf. He was based at the New York Navy Yard, in Brooklyn, New York from 1867 to 1869 and from 1871 to 1872. In the North Atlantic, between 1869 and 1870, he commanded the sloop "USS Saratoga" and the monitor "USS Miantonomoh"(one of the last monitors built for the United States Navy). He was promoted to Captain, August 19, 1872, and commanded the steam sloop "USS Worcester," which was the flagship of the North Atlantic squadron from 1871 to 1875. During the first year of that cruise, he took out contributions of food and clothing from the American people for the relief of the French sufferers in the Franco-Prussian war. As there was no way to transport these contributions to the needed districts in the east of France, the stores were taken to Liverpool and London, where a favorable market realized a much larger sum of money than the actual cost of these stores in the United States. The American relief committee in France urged that the money was more needed than contributions in any other form. He was present at New Orleans during the political turmoil created by the overthrow of the Packard government. There he won the confidence of the citizens by the wise measures he initiated to stem the unrest. On June 11, 1878 he was appointed Chief of Bureau of Navigation with the rank of Commodore. Failing health and almost total blindness resulting from exposure incidental to his naval service compelled him to be relieved from this duty October 12, 1881. He was placed on the retired list, with the rank of Commodore, by special Act of Congress. (bio by: Shirley Stanton)
