Title A name given to the resource 1928 Newspaper Articles on USMC Activities in Nicaragua Subject The topic of the resource USMC in Nicaragua Description An account of the resource This collection contains four newspaper articles from 1928 concerning the activities of the USMC in Nicaragua. The first article published in January entitled "1000 Sea Fighters Get Away" details the surge of Marines en route to Nicaragua at the start of the year. They hail from three ports: Hampton Roads, Charleston, and San Diego with the goal of fighting the rebel Augusto Sandino and to ensure a peaceful 1928 Presidential election in Nicaragua. The second article entitled "Red-Blooded Courage Meets Real Test in Nicaraguan Incident" was published on 17 June, 1928. This article takes stock of the type of warfare the marines are engaged in: "guerrilla warfare at its worst" and highlights the bravery and courage of the marines. The third article entitled "North Carolina Boy Doing Service in Nicaragua Writes Letter to his Home Town" provides an intimate look at a USMC Private's life in Nicaragua, the good and the bad. Finally, the fourth article, simply titled "Drowned" is an obituary of the marine who perished on the Coco River Patrol led by Lt. Roberts.

Roberts 13 August, 1928 Description An account of the resource Summary: Three page letter sent from Condega in which Roberts confirmed he has been chosen for the Coco River patrol to lead a 40 man team with Captain Pete Geyer. Transcription: "Condega, Nic. 13 Aug 1928  My Sweetie,                 I’m so pleased and flattered, I don’t know what to do. I’ve been picked to go down the Coco River with the expedition from Ocotal.                 I had just completed the investigation that I had been making at Palacagüina, Totogalpa and here and had returned to Pueblo Nuevo and was just finishing the record of the investigation when a plane dropped orders for me to proceed immediately to Condega to there await air transportation to Ocotal for duty with the coco River patrol. There are about 40 men going and Capt Pete Geyer is the only other officer as far as I know.                 Naturally I am thrilled pink for I have been selected from the whole eleventh regiment by the Colonel. I am now waiting a plane here as I came over last night and Capt MacNulty (a peach) who is in command here and he and I celebrated last night a cool beer.                 As soon as I get to Ocotal I shall write you jmore fully of what it is all about and the details. Just at present, I know no more than what I have told you already.                 When I return to Pueblo Nuevo there was mail waiting for me and it did help so darling. you are just a peach and I love you so. The letters are now tied up in my roll of clothes down on the air field so I can’t answer them but shall after I get to Ocotal and then I can tell you more news. All the gang at Pueblo Nuevo as fine and all are envious as hell and can’t figure out why I am being sent, the only officer or man from the whole battalion. As a matter of fact, I don’t know myself why I was picked. I’m only sure that I’m tickled and flattered to death for it will be the greatest adventure we have had yet in Nicaragua for no white man has ever gone from Ocotal to the Atlantic coast at Cape Gracias-a-Dios. It will be hardship I know but will be great sport and if we do go all the way through, (they may stop us or not permit us to go down there) we will certainly have a record behind us. This is just a note taking you the news darling girl and more later from Ocotal. My love to your family and all the love in the world to you and David. A thousand kisses – your Bob” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Harold C.

Title A name given to the resource Correspondence from Harold C. Roberts to Faith N. Roberts 14 August, 1928 Description An account of the resource Summary: Six page letter sent from Ocotal explaining the Coco River patrol in more detail. Includes hand drawn schematic of the boats the Marines built for the expedition, which they hoped will be easier to carry around the many rapids on the river. Roberts discussed his thoughts on the upcoming election and how future Marine deployments would be affected. In a second letter from 25 August Roberts wired his wife money for an insurance policy on himself. Transcription: "14 August 1928 Ocotal, Nic.  My darling:                 I expected to be able to give you more news of the boat expedition by now but can’t give you much. As far as I know at present there are only two officers going, Captain Peter Geyer and myself. The first boat is about half completed now and it will be a good three weeks before we can leave. WE have many navy carpenters here building them and they look something like this: [hand drawn boat]                 All the men going are to be volunteers who have had experience in handling boats and swimmers                 This morning the Col. had a plane, small combat plane, come up from Managua to take me over a reconnaissance of the river. We started from here at a quarter of nine and returned at ten of eleven. We went clear down the river below Quinali. That is, over the worst of the river, for from there on, it is pretty clear sailing as it becomes pretty deep and wide from there on. But, from here to Quinali are thirty-two rapids. Of course, they are short, shallow rapids but will be hard work passing as we will all have to hopw out over the side and walk along guiding and holding back our boats for the river is never over 4 feet deep in the rapids. It promises to be great sport and quite an adventure and naturally am all excited. Capt. Geyer arrived here yesterday from Apali and is a fine chap and we should have lots of fun. The Colonel is all enthused over the expedition and is giving us everything we ask for so we should be pretty well equipped.                 Ocotal is quite a change over Pueblo Nuevo There are a lot of officers here and all a fine lot, do considerable drinking and have as good a time as possible. Haven’t done much drinking for some time so I’m pretty much out of practice so have been taking it a bit slow and am feeling fine. Never been healthier.                 There is no definite dope as yet as to what will happen down here. Personally I think Sandino’s outfit is on its last legs and he has been catching hell the last few days. He was bombed out in Honduras, returned here and was soon found by the planes and badly bombed and shot up on three successive days. Of course, no one knows for sure, but all agree that shortly there must be some dope circulated and all expect that it will be, as is now rumored, that immediately after elections the majority of us will be pulled out of Nicaragua and the rest will be put down along the railroad and [?] in no other places excepting the capitals of the provinces and they are all fairly large. Lord, sweetie, I know that the elections and November seem to be ages off but it just can’t be helped. We have to stay down here and I certainly would not want to have you down here now, living alone in Managua while I am up here in the hills as most of the wives are. You would be much happier at home and so would I.                 There is one thing I will do and that is this. After we start on this “yachting” expedition, wherever we are up at I will send you a cable and it will probably be from the east coast. That’s a promise.                 My sweetie, I have your letter here and they do mean so much and help so much. I could not begin to tell  you just how much for my baby, I love you so much and you mean everything in the world to me and all I have in the world. Naturally when a new officer comes into a port all hands are glad to see a new one for the O. D. roster so of course they put me on as soon as possible, and that is tonight. O. D. duty here doesn’t mean much here and only amounts to an inspection or two during the night and no one minds it much.                 I’m glad you liked the old stirrups. They are interesting but I can’t say how old. I have no idea. I got them when I was on that patrol out of here/ (Ocotal) up to Ocono and Sta. Maria. Sta. Maria is an old town and all the people have left it. They are neither with the bandits or afraid of them and while rummaging around the old houses there, I found them on a shelf with a lot of other junk, mostly useless. However, Bill F’s story is good enough for me. I can’t improve much on it.                 The puppy looks fine and should be a good pet for David and I think no boy should be without a dog. It will teach him lots. However I can quite picture you following him with the mop.                 It is too bad that you put off getting Lorna’s present so long. The candle sticks sound fine but don’t be too tight sweetie. we are not paupers yet. I can barely picture myself with a married sister. It doesn’t seem possible. I hope she is happy. Funny, my cable to her and your present cost within a few cents of being just the same.                 The pictures are a bit under exposed but I am delighted to get them and see David in a new position and I eat up the news of him in the letters. He must be heaps of fun now besides the work and care. I certainly am crazy to see him. But doesn’t he need a hair cut or don’t you cut babies hair. And don’t be too sure that he can’t be punished. I’m almost certain that you can’t raise a boy without the rod on remains. And I don’t blame you for raving over him if he is half as fine and wonderful as you say.                 That is too bad about the [?] turning out to be a flop. Your father seemed to be so wrapped up in it and so enthusiastic over it’s possibilities when I was there last. Hope he doesn’t take it too hard. There are lots of other [?].                 I am glad you sent for the trunks. The keys should arrive before the trunks. I wish now that I were as sure of the contents of my trunk in Leon. Lord only knows how it is! Hope everything hasn’t mildewed.                 The news of Harrison going with the Duffy players is a surprise. He hasn’t written in ages or else I haven’t been getting them. Wonder if that is the best bet or if he is figuring ahead counting on the legitimate players ultimately getting. The pickings in the movies when the talking pictures are universal. I think it would be a fine idea for you to go to Seattle to see him. Not only would it be great for him but it would [letter ends]." Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Harold C.

We are held up here temporarily as the river rose twelve feet overnight, carrying away one boat and leaving us with two boats at our camp below the last rapids and one above as we didn’t have daylight enough to get it down yesterday due to the interference of having one man hit in head with a bag of chow strapped from a plane + one man washed down rapids whose body we could not recover. It was his own fault. He was only ten feet from the bank and insisted on disregarding our repeated warnings. Naturally we were all pretty low yesterday and didn’t get much work done. The boy who was hit has concussion of the brain so even if the river was not impassable, we would be held up here by his condition. We are now through over half the rapids but are just held up and will probably be here four or five days waiting till the man who was hit by a plane drop is well enough to be transported to the nearest marine post by patrol. When that is done + if the river has dropped we will proceed on down the river. The natives through here are all peaceful so we are perfectly safe. They bring us fruit and [?]  and if there are bandits in the vicinity, would bring the news to us as well as come to us for protection. The bunch is in good spirits again today and working hard in proving the camps, digging heads, improving the galley etc. It’s a fine crowd. Yesterday we received a letter of accommodation for all hands from the Colonel commending us on the work we had accomplished over enormous difficulties through hard work and dogged determination. I say: no damned wonder, no white man ever went down this river before, who would want to? and when you have done it, what have you done. But we’re proving it can be done and we’ll go down too if they don’t call it off and I don’t expect the Col. To do that.                 Your life at home, does sound hum-drum enough and I don’t blame you for griping. I would too, But, the work, the red ants, mosquitoes etc. keep us but too busy. However we have one recompense which is that he scenery is magnificent. Butterflies with the wings spread of rubies and such gorgeous colorings. Plenty of tropical fruit and fish in the river which look like big [?] fish but very good eating.                 The news of David always thrills me to pieces and I just eat it up. You say you have no news and then fill a letter with Davids doings and I am just as pleased. Am glad you [?] the birthday present. Please don’t save it. Buy something with it or pay for your coat with it. And, for God’s sake have as good a time as you can for there is no sense in your having a dreary time just because I have to. No use in us both laying low because one of us has to. Do not worry about me I am as happy as I can be; away from you, am feeling fine and healthier than I have been in a long time and getting tough as nails – even started the moustache again.                 Havent’ heard from Harrison in a couple of months. Trust I haven’t offended him and he’s probably pretty busy to write but did receive a couple of “Judges” + “Lifes” and a program of the show about ten weeks ago. But that’s all.                 Give my love to your family and heaps of love + kisses to David. How I would love to see him. That time seem like an impossible dream, it seems so far away and I love you and want you so, My darling it seems like heaven when the time does come for us to be united again. I have loved the adventure of this campaign down here but it has fallen flat because of my need of you and I do need you for nothing is complete without you. I love you, I love you baby and will send you another when we send in the next pick-up message.                                 Your sweetheart                                 Bob” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Harold C.

They left from Nova Segovia in the Northern Area of Nicaragua. By 10 November, 1928 they were being recalled and the mission was labelled a failure. The men on the mission encountered a near impossible task: unending rapids and waterfalls, flooding, capsized boat, illness, drownings, and scarcity of supplies. Thought recalled early the men of the Coco River Expedition were lauded, with both of the Captains receiving the Navy Cross for their bravery and good leadership. In this collection you will find the Navy Cross descriptions, a report filed by Captain Geyer, and letters from Captain Roberts to his wife about his time on the Coco River.

Roberts discussed that the Marines on the Coco River expedition were recalled due to sickness and other difficulties. Transcription: "26 Sept. 1928 Camp on Coco River My Darling: They have decided to recall us! The river is so high and dangerous and they have came to the conclusion that the actual military value will not be commensurate with the possible cost. So I understand there will be a patrol out for us with Pack-bulls to bring in our equipment. We are disappointed in a way but the river looks hellish from here on and it may mean the loss of more lives. Then too we have 30% of the men sick with malaria, dysentery, grippe. So I believe it’s a wise move but would never admit it. I feel fine with the exception that I must have brushed against some poison plant or other for I broke out with a terrible itching rash in my head, hair, face arms + body to my waist. It is going away now and I am scaling like a snake shedding it’s skin. It looks funny now but was by no means fun when it was itching as though a million ants were biting all over me. Other than that, I feel fine. Have received no mail lately. I wish we had. That is what keeps us going down here. But here it is almost all of sept. over and soon we should have the dope on what we are to do. Hope you received the information.

Oct. 1928 My Darling, Well back to the lines again. It seems it took ages to get back in and physically it has been hellish. But I have had more fun, experience, adventure + novelty than I have now had in my life but am happy to get back in again! Tomorrow we arrive at Condega and thence back to Pueblo Nuevo – home. I am perfectly well and feeling fine, lost some weight but feeling much better. Outside of having had “the itch” all over my body, now entirely cured, from some poisonous plant, I have felt wonderfully well during the whole trip. In that regard, I’m pretty lucky as one of the big reasons why we were ordered back was because of the sickness caused by exposure, strain etc. We have had to move pretty slowly as we have lost one man by drowning, have one insane, five amoebic dysentery, eight dengue fever and five grippe plus nine convalescents from different things. Am sending this in by native runner to Condega upon an arrival here. No mail for a month. At my first [?] in six weeks today – and it’s grand. Believe I was cut out for a life [sic] of luxury – not campaigns! More later when I can tell you at length how I love you and want you. My love to David, Kate, Charlie, + Charles.

Roberts 8 September, 1928 Description An account of the resource Summary: Three page letter sent from Telepaneca about the early days of the Coco River Expedition and the dangers of the rapids on the rivers in Northern Nicaragua. Transcription: "Telepanaca, Nic. 8 Sept. 1928.  My Sweetie:                 Well we are here, everyone safe with all four boats – but how!!                 I have never had more fun in my life, I don’t believe. We got away from Ocotal around ten a.m. on the 4th and the river was pretty wide and shallow and our boats drew 18” of waterso we were over the side most of the time pushing the boat. Finall[y] the river narrowed some and became quite deep as a few more streams emptied into the river. We went along gaily simply pokin the boats to keep in the stronger current and I believe made about 4 1/2 miles per hour average. It was great fun.                 About 4:00 p.m. the speed of the current speeded up to about ten miles per hour and we were just going kiting along when the river turned into a canyon with sides very deep + steep and the channel narrow. I commanded the first boat but we got out of the swiftest of the current and here the second and third boat passed as before we got into the current. About 15 minutes later we heard a roaring and all threw out our anchors. The anchor on my boat held but those on the first two boats did not their having gone too far and on they went around a bend at least 15 miles per hour. We got into the beach, tied a line to a tree and snubbed our way around the next bend and there were the first two boats swamped and piled up on the rocks. The river had gone over a small falls about two feet high into a narrow channel filled with high jagged rocks. The boats had made the falls but were going too fast to pole off the rocks and turned partly over and swamped.                 The courage of the men was simply astounding. We got to the bank tied up, put on life preserves, tied men to the lines and worked them from rock to rock and to the other boats. Got life life lines rigged from the rocks to shore and walked through the moon light night and salvaged most of our gear that night that was not washed away and tied the boats  + then we turned in on the bank, just lay on the bank and slept in the rain.                 We awoke about right and got some chow and turned to on diving for rifles ammunition, pots, buckets, boxes of canned goods etc until we got all that had not been washed away. We lost surprisingly little considering the fact that it was raining torrents, the river had risen 18 inches overnight and the river was just roaring. Then we turned to in the boats and with double lines to each hand jerking and snubbing around trees and men hanging on to the boats rocking them, we finally cleared them of the rocks which was an enormous job considering the water pressure against them. Well we floated them, bailed them out and snubbed them [?]  of the rapids and then and on lines and shot through empty. That day we got those two boats through.                 The next day we spent repairing the two boats that were swamped, shooting the rapids with he other two boats empty and portaging all of our loads. Drying our clothing, oiling weapons, redistributing loads etc. and the next day, yesterday, we started for Telepanaca, here. we only had to shoot two small rapids and the next was plain sailing making about 5 miles per hour, we reached here at 5:00 P.M.                 As we came down the river, all the natives and marines turned and on the river bank to greet us and we were pleased indeed. We unloaded completely, pitched camps on the bank and ate a warm meal and wrote out a report by midnight and turned in.                 This morning we laid out everything to dry and worked repairing everything, washing clothes etc. and here I am. We will be here at least three days repairing boats and gear and waiting for more supplies to be dropped. Believe me, darling, it has been wonderful experience and has been quite a lark with the exception of all the hard work. The spirit of the men has been marvelous and Capt. Geyer sent in a letter of commendation on “papa’s” work. Not bragging at all either; but they all help on one’s record.                 I have with me four letters from my darling which I received just before leaving Ocotal including the colored birthday picture of David. They are marvelous!! I love ‘em. Golly I would love to see him. He’s the best looking thing I’ve ever seen. Thank you so many times darling. Don’t you know I love you so.                 Have no fears for me, baby mine, I feel wonderful, brown as a nut. Spend the day in the boat wearing a pair of keds, a “non-thriller” and a life jacket, pistol and knife. We are certainly a fine looking band of pirates. Hard work and exposure agrees with me and I’m practically noon sick when walking land. I’m getting a big thrill out of it all and love it.                 This may be my last letter for some little time sweetie, so don’t be alarmed if it is a little longer than usual. I’ll get a letter off to you on every pick up message we send in but I have no idea how soon that will be nor how often it will be. We are going first to the Sta. Cruz and establish a base there and work out from there. It is a very large ranch house on the banks of the river and we should be pretty well situated there. When we arrive there, we will have passed all the bad places on the river and from there on down the river is wide and eep. When our patrolling duty is completed, as far as we know, we will move on down the river to the east coast.                 Good Lord! What do you think just happened! They have a victrola here and the thing just boomed forth “At Dawning” and I’m just shaking all over. My darling, my darling! The thing just wrecks me. It’s the first time I’ve heard it in so long and it brings back so many vivid marvelous memories. Do you know how much I love you? My baby, more than anyone else in the whole world.                 Sweet, give my love to your family for me won’t you and my regards to all I know in Wallace and a big long hug and Kiss for David. If I could be only there to hold you close tonight but here I am sleeping on one blanket and covered with me with a poncho over me and a mosquito net and that with a small sack of clothes is all I have to my name. But I’m as happy as possible away from my darling and I’m loving you every minute. I love you, I love you.                 (Isn’t the enclosure priceless?)” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Harold C.

Title A name given to the resource Correspondence from Harold C. Roberts to Faith N. Roberts 9 August, 1928 Description An account of the resource Summary: One page letter from Condega detailing Colonel Dunlap's idea for an expedition patrol down the Coco River to the East Coast (440 miles). Roberts wrote about how Dunlap asked him for advice on boat construction and invited him to come on the patrol. Roberts included boat dimensions. Roberts speaks about missing his son, David. Transcription: "Condega, Nic. 9 Aug. 1928.  My Darling:                  I finally got away from Ocotal on Sunday morning. Was held up there because Col. Dunlap has a new idea. He wants to send an expedition down the Coco River from Ocotal to the east coast around 400 miles by boat. So he held me there a day to give my ideas on the building of boats and the equipment and arms that should be taken. It will be a really great adventure. Of course I was “bursting with pride” and naturally asked to go. The whole thing is worked out now and has been suggested to Gen. Feland asking his permission. The Col. practically approved. They are to go down the river with the current in flat bottom boats 28 ftx 4 ft each with two aft board motors and carrying 12 to 20 men each. The supplies and food to be dropped from planes daily suspended from parachutes. I left Ocotal all excited over the idea. It may go through I don’t know but if it does, we will be the fist white men to travel the full length of the Coco R. in boats and nearly the entire way through virginal unexplored country.                 I left Pueblo Nuevo on Tuesday with a patrol on orders to investigate a shooting scrape between alleged bandito and marines. A patrol had a contact, killed some armed bandits and now the families of the dead bandits are pressing charges of murder against the marines. So I was sent to make an investigation. So I’ve been to Totogalpa, Palacagucina, and here in Condega and the investigation is now completed as far as I am concerned. Of course there is no evidence to point toward the guilt of the Marines.                 Perhaps when I return to Contega there will be mail from my darling. I hope so for it seems to come so seldom now and it is so necessary to my happiness. When I take my little case out with the pictures of my sweet and David, I just get sick with longing. It just seems ages since I have seen you, baby and I love you so and want you so and seem to dream of you all the time now. And I just long to get a hold of David.

Title A name given to the resource 1928 Newspaper Articles on USMC Activities in Nicaragua Subject The topic of the resource USMC in Nicaragua Description An account of the resource This collection contains four newspaper articles from 1928 concerning the activities of the USMC in Nicaragua. The first article published in January entitled "1000 Sea Fighters Get Away" details the surge of Marines en route to Nicaragua at the start of the year. They hail from three ports: Hampton Roads, Charleston, and San Diego with the goal of fighting the rebel Augusto Sandino and to ensure a peaceful 1928 Presidential election in Nicaragua. The second article entitled "Red-Blooded Courage Meets Real Test in Nicaraguan Incident" was published on 17 June, 1928. This article takes stock of the type of warfare the marines are engaged in: "guerrilla warfare at its worst" and highlights the bravery and courage of the marines. The third article entitled "North Carolina Boy Doing Service in Nicaragua Writes Letter to his Home Town" provides an intimate look at a USMC Private's life in Nicaragua, the good and the bad. Finally, the fourth article, simply titled "Drowned" is an obituary of the marine who perished on the Coco River Patrol led by Lt. Roberts.

Title A name given to the resource Coco River Expedition Description An account of the resource On 4 September Marines from 2 Division, 11th Battalion led by Captain Peter Geyer and Captain Harold Roberts set out to clear the Coco River from bandits. They left from Nova Segovia in the Northern Area of Nicaragua. By 10 November, 1928 they were being recalled and the mission was labelled a failure. The men on the mission encountered a near impossible task: unending rapids and waterfalls, flooding, capsized boat, illness, drownings, and scarcity of supplies. Thought recalled early the men of the Coco River Expedition were lauded, with both of the Captains receiving the Navy Cross for their bravery and good leadership. In this collection you will find the Navy Cross descriptions, a report filed by Captain Geyer, and letters from Captain Roberts to his wife about his time on the Coco River.
