Notes for Colonel Thomas Waln-Morgan Draper: [Draper:130-133]: Colonel Thomas Waln-Morgan Draper was born in New York City on March 12th 1855; the second child and eldest son of Colonel Theodore Sedgwick Draper and Elizabeth Morgan. On his father's side he descends from pure New England stock, his grandfather Captain Simeon Draper of the Revolutionary Army whose wife was Mary Bemis, the eldest child of Colonel Benjamin Bemis of Spencer, whose mother was Rebecca Draper. On his mother's side, his ancestry is of the old Pennsylvania Quaker stock, Elizabeth Morgan was the daughter of Thomas Waln-Morgan and Hannah Griffitts, and back through these are the Carpenters, Morris', Walns, the Lewis's, Heaths, Fishbourne's, Powells, and many others. It is but natural that with the Yankee-Quaker strains of blood combined, he should have become an ardent searcher into the past, especially into that appertaining to American Family History. Space does not permit of an enumeration of all he has written, but the works on Genealogy by him are: "The Drapers in America;" "The Tiffany History and Genealogy;" " The Beste-Cutting Charts;" "The Morgan Memorial;" "The Kelsey History and Genealogy"; and now the "History and Genealogy of the Bemis Family." Work of this character requires a peculiar trend of mind, and great enthusiasm, without these two qualities it is a dry study. Col. Draper went first to school in New York City, but in 1866, his parents decided to go abroad to educate their children, so that the next few years were spent in the schools of Germany and Switzerland. He then went to Munich Bavaria, where he graduated as a Civil Engineer; thence to the Royal School of Mines at Freiberg in Saxony, whence he graduated as a Mining Engineer in 1875. During the Franco-German War, Col. Draper volunteered in the 2d. Saxon Lancers, and during the campaign was present at Weissemburg, Sedan, the Seige of Paris, Battle of Orleans and numerous smaller engagements. In the spring of 1876, he returned to America, and had charge, under Prof. Baird of the Smithsonian Institute, of the U. S. Govts. Collection, to illustrate the Mineralogical and Geological Resources of the United States, at the Centennial Exposition. In September 1876 he went to Colorado, where he remained in the active pursuit of his profession until 1881; during this period he visited New and Old Mexico, and most of the Western Mining Territory. His American Military career began when he enlisted as a private in Comp. C. 1st Regiment C. N. G. (Pitkin Guards) in 1880. On April 21st of the same year, his friend Governor Pitkin of Colorado, commissioned him Assistant Inspector Genrl. with the rank of Captain, which post he held during the Governor's term of office. Col. Draper returned to New York to live in 1882, and resided there, with frequent absences, until 1896. Whilst in New York, he bacame Captain of Comp. "B" 71st N. Y. Inftry. the celebrated "American Guard." In pursuit of his profession Col. Draper has been in many countries, Europe, Asia, Africa, Central and South America; in both of the latter he was obligated by circumstances to participate in the periodical Revolutions. For five years, from 1884 to 1889, Col. Draper as Chief Engineer, built the Atlantic & Danville, and Danville & East Tenn. R. R.'s, in Virginia, North Carolina and Tenn. He has erected and had charge of large public and private works at home and abroad, which to enumerate and describe would take too much space. Explorations amongst the Cordellieras of Central America, and the Andes of South America, in search of the remnants of Ancient Civilizations have also engrossed his time. In February 1896, Col. Draper returned to Colorado, intending to make it permanently his home, and resided in Denver. Scarce a year had passed, before he was unanimously offered, and reluctantly accepted from the officers of the 1st Inftry N. G. C. the Colonelcy of the Regiment, which he most thoroughly reorganized, and placed upon a first class basis, then resigned, as the work interfered too much with his other business. It was this regiment, under the command of Colonel Draper's successor, Lieutenant-Colonel Irving Hale, known as the "First" Regiment of Colorado Volunteer Infantry, that subsequently rendered such excellent service in the Philippines, during the War with Spain. On June 7th, 1898, Colonel Draper was authorized to recruit a Company, for the Second Regiment of U. S. Volunteer Engineers, part of a brigade of Engineer troops, especially authorized by Act of Congress for the War with Spain. The Company was mustered into the U. S. service at Denver, Colo. on June 28, 1898, and Captain Draper, with his officers, and men, left for San Francisco on June 30, reporting at the Presidio, San Francisco, on the morning of July 3rd, and became a part of the 3rd Battalion of the Regiment, under command of Major Wm. C. Langfitt, which acted independently of the other two battalions of the same Regiment, recruited in the East. These battalions served at Montauk Point, in the Southern States, and were the first U. S. troops to enter Havana. Captain Draper's Company was "I", and they sailed from San Francisco for the Hawaiian Islands on August 5, 1898, as part of the 8th Army Corps. They were accompanied by the 1st Regiment of New York Volunteer Infantry, Colonel Thomas Barber commanding. These troops were ordered to the Hawaiian Islands as a temporary garrison and to take over the Islands, on annexation to the United States. It was intended that the Engineer Battalion should proceed to the Philippine Islands, but there was such a scarcity of troops that they remained there, building barracks, surveying the Islands, and accomplishing a great deal of engineering work during the whole war. The 1st New York Infantry was ordered home, leaving the engineers the sole garrison of the Islands. They were not relieved until April 20, 1899, and then by four batteries of the 6th U. S. Artillery, under the command of Major Mills. The battalion sailed the same day for San Francisco, where they were mustered out of the service of the United States on May 16th, 1899. Captain Draper has had a varied career in his profession as an engineer and soldier. He received the thanks of the Legislature of Colorado, "Joint Senate Resolution No. 1," Session of 1899, for his service in the War with Spain. For the same services, he has subsequently been decorated by the Society of Sons of the American Revolution in the State of Colorado, and has also received a Medal of Honor issued by the National Society of Sons of the American Revolution. In addition to being a member of these Societies, he is a member of the Society of Colonial Wars, which was founded in his office in New York in 1892; and subsequently he founded the Colorado Society, of the same Order, in Denver. For his services, he was decorated with the full insignia of the Order. He is also a member of the Society of the War of 1812, the Society of Sons of the Revolution, and the Naval and Military Order of the Spanish-American War, corresponding with the Loyal Legion. He is also a member of numerous other Societies and Clubs. Colonel Draper has always been interested in everything American, past and present, and has given his time and means to the forwarding of the aims of the Hereditary Patriotic Societies. He is an author, having written a number of histories and family genealogies, as well as numberous pamphlets on mining and civil engineering subjects. He had charge, amongst other details, of an independent command in the Hawaiian Islands, which embraced the survey of the lands adjacent to Pearl Harbor, and numerous reconnaissances, and it was through his efforts and reports that the large military reservation, of over 14,000 acres on Oahu Island, was set aside for military purposes. His reports were heartily endorsed by his commanding officer, as well as Col. George Ruhlan, Chief Quartermaster, Inspector-General Field, Brigadier General G. C. Compton, and Major-General Shafter, Commanding the Department. Almost immediately after the War, Colonel Draper went to Alaska as General Superintendent of Mines, and Chief Engineer of the North American Transportation & Trading Company, spending the summer of 1899 in that territory. He is now residing in San Francisco, Cala., as consulting mining and civil engineer. |
