MILI		Murder of Gen. Schaefer 1863 In this letter to The National Tribune, Stewart argues that an account of the Battle of Stone's River (also called the 2nd Battle of Murfreesboro) by "Carleton" was incorrect. Stewart was in fact wrong. Sill's troops were in fact in the Third Brigade under Gen. Sheridan at the battle. Regardless, Stewart's letter is noteworthy for its account of the apparent murder of Union Gen. Schaefer at the battle. "Our brigade - the Second - was commanded by Gen. Schaeffer (Schaefer), who was killed in that fight, and I have very little doubt that he was shot by some of his own brigade in retaliation for unmercifully tying up two of our regiment by the thumbs at Mill Creek on a cold day, keeping them tied all night, for a very slight disobedience of what he thought was right and proper. I think it was taking some rails for fire from a fence close to his headquarters. Any way, our regiment, almost to a man of the privates, was ready to mutiny over it, and only by the efforts of our officers and their good advice were they prevailed on to bide in camp; but the storm of wrath was deep in our hearts, and some said they would be even the first chance they got. I give this as a matter of history, as it only happened some three or four weeks before the battle of Stone's River." Note the battle was fought 31 Dec 1862 to 2 Jan 1863

MILI		An Illinois Soldier's Experience 1884 Stewart Hoskinson tells of his fighting, be shot, and taken prisoner Franklin, TN: "...I have good reason to remember that eventful evening of Nov. 30, 1864, and well remember seeing our troops who were holding the works in front of us falling back in confusion before the charge of the rebels; then hearing our Major (Motherspaw, not Motherspan) give the order to the 73d to charge to the front; then of the confused mass of our retreating men we tried in vain to check right in front of Carter's house, they rushing to the rear pell-mell through the gaps in the picket-fence, and we in as big a hurry to get to the front to salute the Johnnies...I never knew just what hour the fight ended, but at about 8 o'clock, as near as I should judge, for I had fired nearly 60 rounds. I received a shot in my left shoulder, which (barring accidents) I will carry to my grave, striking me on the point of collarbone and coming out at the backbone near the bottom of the shoulder-blade. At the time, and for three or four days, till suppuration set in and the pieces of cloth came out of the wound, I was not certain but what I had been accidentally shot by some of our men in rear of me. The blood rushed from my mouth in a stream and I thought my last hour was near, but after a short time the inward bleeding stopped and I took courage. A lull in the fring taking place shortly after, I managed to get to the rear, behind Carter's house, where I lay down for an hour or more, when I heard some one inquire if there were any of the 73d there. I answered "here," and three or four of our regiment came to me and carried me into town and left me in the brick church on the east of the turnpike, with about 100 others of our severely wounded. Having been on picket at Spring Hill the night before and rear-guard all day from there to Franklin, I was worn out, so I fell into a troubled sleep, and about midnight wakened to fnd we were prisoners. There were 190 of our wounded taken there, and at the end of 17 days, at the recapture of Franklin, we were reduced to 140. One surgeon staid with us, and with the assistance of one or two resident physicians cared for our wounds. Had it not been for the kindness of some of the ladies of Franklin I do not know how we would have fared, as what little rations of flour and poor beef was issued to us had to be cooked, and no one could do it but one....I received my discharge Feb. 10, 1865, from "gunshot wound of left shoulder," but after reaching home it proved to be an injury to the left lung also, and for nearly 30 months the wound in my back remained open, so I could blow by breath through the opening. I am suffering more or less all the time from it, and am at present drawing $12 per month pension...STUART F. HOSKINSOn, Co, G, 73d Ill., Seattle, King Co., W. T.

EVENT		Manifest for steamship Dakota 1875 A VERY interesting article. Indicates that Martha, Stewart Hoskinson and family were in Puget Sound, Washington Territory in 4 Nov 1875. "The following is the list of passengers of the steamship Dakota, which leaves here at 9 o'clock totnigh...Mrs. Hoskinson and infant,...S. F. Hoskinson and two children..." The infant is perhaps David Hill, whom Riley and Martha adopt at some point. He first appears with the family at age 9 in the 1883 Washington Territory census. He would have been an in fact in 1875. The two children with Stewart are presumably his sons Harry and Charles. The article is interesting because tit was published one day before the first ad for selling the Hoskinson farm in Kansas appears in the Osage County Chronicle 5 Nov 1875. The farm did not sell until 1876. Also articles written by Riley Hoskinson appearing in the The Osage County Chronicle in Dec 1876 state the family did not leave Kansas until late Oct, early Nov 1876, and then to move to California not Seattle.
EVENT	25 May 1877	Bainbridge Island, Kitsap Co., WA [14]
EVENT		Small pox outbreak on Bainbridge Island 1877 Interesting article about a small pox outbreak on Bainbridge Island, about the same time the Hoskinson's were arriving in Seattle, and only a year before they moved to their homestead on Bainbridge Island. Stewart Hoskinson's 3rd wife Nellie Burnett Andrews lost three children ages infant, 3 and 5 years in 1878 in Seattle while with her first husband Stephen Andrews. Small pox may have been the cause. The article contains a lot of racism and fear-mongering re potential spread by local Indians: "SMALL POX - ...the outbreak of small pox at Port Orchard is proving to be quite a serious matter; like a prairie fire in the West, there is no telling where it will end....Two white men and several half-breed children at Port Orchard are down with the disease, while two Indian have already died of it....Indians often come direct from the homes of their sick friends to Port Madison and Blakely and mingle with people and other Indians (note Indians are apparently no people!) there, we are further informed...Indians are naturally very cautious in exposing themselves to contagious diseases. But though they regard such pestilence with a sort of superstitious horror, and are generally disposed to give infected neighborhood a wide berth, their fear is that of crude ignorance, and as they are entirely uncontrolled by reason, they act in such case very much on the same principle as panic stricken beast during a fire, which in their terror have been known to plunge headlong into the flames, when every effort was made to abet their escape. Therefore it is but folly to claim that the natural fear the Indians entertain of this disease will prevent a spread of it among themselves, or their communicating it to the white population...The authorities of Kitsap county should at once blockade Port Orchard harbor, and shut in the diseased Indians and white men so effectually as to prevent the possibility of their communication with other Indians in any manner. Unless this be done the smallpox is certain spread, and, as we said before, there is no knowing where it will end." The clipping goes on to relate a story about a doctor investigating a small death at Salmon Bay, north of Seattle, where another outbreak was expected.

EVENT	28 Jan 1880	Seattle, King Co., WA [17]

R. Locke, Toledo OH, 1879. An interesting read. Stewart likely identified with McElroy's account having been a Confederate prisoner himself.

EVENT	30 May 1884	Seattle, King Co., WA [21]
EVENT		Memorial Day 1884 Stewart describes Seattle's Memorial Day observance to the National Tribune: "Comrade S. F. Hoskinson, Seattle, Wash. Ter., writes us that at noon on Memorial Day all business was suspended, and old and young turned out to decorate the graves. Fully 3,000 people assembled in the beautiful grove to witness the memorial exercises, which opened, after prayer by Rev. G. Herbert Watson, by services over the cenotaph by Stevens Post in memory of the unknown dead. Hon. Eben Smith, president of the day, delivered an eloquent and patriotic address, which elicited enthusiastic applause. Addresses were also made by Dr. T. T. Minor, orator of the day, and Hon. H. G. Struve, mayor of Seattle." The use of comrade to address Stewart is interesting. It is not a reference to communism. It did yet exist in 1884. It is likely a reference to the military term "comrade in arms." Stewart was an ex-soldier, the Tribune a very right leaning newspaper frequently offering lengthy stories on the Civil War written by veterans. Stewart appears to have been an avid reader of and correspondent with Tribune. Note prior to 1971, Memorial Day was always observed on May 30 vs the the last day of May since.

Unclear what "and husband" means here given Stuart and Nellie divorced in 1888. Was Stuart Involved or did she do this on her own? Stuart files a court case against Nellie in 1889 for something that is later dismissed in 1890 for failure to show up in court. See article below.

EVENT		S. F. Hoskinson - florist 1900 This article provides a brief bio of Stewart Hoskinson. The accompanying photo has the name F. H. Hoskinson under it. This is presumably an error and the photo NOT of Stewart's son Frank H. who is not mentioned in the article. "S. F. Hoskinson was born in Pennsylvania in 1843, moving with his parents to Illinois in 1853. He three years in the Seventy-third Illinois regiment, in which his father was a commissary sergeant. The two were taken prisoner at Chickamauga in 1863, but made their escape at night by swimming the Tennessee river at the foot of Lookout Mountain. The son was wounded and taken prisoner at Franklin, Tenn., November 30, 1864. In 1866 the family moved to Kansas going from there to the state of Washington in 1874 In March, 1899, they came to Waycross." It also details Stewart's horticultural activities at the Hoskinson farm in Waycross: "As truck gardeners they have shown just what two yankee farmers can do scientifically cultivating the soil of south Georgia. They have raised good crop of cane, vegetables, peas, garden truck, etc., and have given considerable attention to cassava culture." and and experiment with roses: "About one year ago a northern floriculturist sent Mr. Hoskinson a shipment of 1,000 rose bushes for experimental purposes....The object to determine the best location for establishing immense greenhouses for the cultivation of flowers for the northern markets. Mr. Hoskinson being a practical florist, went to work with a determination of making the experiment a success, being assisted by his father Mr. R. M. Hoskinson...The flower venture has proven successful, so far as their cultivation is concerned, and a most factory report has been made to be headquarters..." Stewart's interest in photography is also noted: "...his camera exhibit winning first premium (at the Waycross fair). Being an enthusiastic amateur photographer Hoskinson spends his spare time taking and developing pictures. He had a fine exhibit at the Waycross fairs of 1899 and 1900."

The Great Fundamental Principle of the Universe 1888
In the late 1880s, Stewart began appearing in advertisements attesting to the miracle cures of Drs. Darrin of Portland, OR, who used some form of electro shock therapy to supposed cure everything from "congestion of the brain" and dyspepsia, to dropsy, deafness, and being cross-eyed, to Stewarts sciatica: "Experiments by scientists are constantly and surely proving electricity to be the great motor power of creation. Electricity is the most powerful chemical agent, as well as the basis of chemical action. It is the primal element of light and heat; the promotor of life, and the sustainer of health. Disease yields readily to its magnetic touch, and even unrelenting death is averted by its presence. Thousards of afflicted and suffering beas witness to its healing power. The electro-magnetic as practiced by the Drs. Darrin has revolutionized the practice of medicine, as is shown by the following:...S. F. Hoskinson, Port Blakely, W.T.; Sciatic rheumatism. Cured." The attached is a sample of these advertisements that appeared frequently in local Portland and Seattle newspapers of the time. The fact that electricity is neither chemical nor inherently magnetic speaks to how little understanding there was of electricity at this time and the quack nature of Drs. Darrin's treatments.
