	Frederick Funston - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Funston was born in New Carlisle, Ohio before his family moved to Allen County, Kansas in 1881.
		Funston was considered a useful advocate for US expansionism, but when he publicly made insulting remarks about anti-imperialist Republican Senator George Frisbie Hoar of Massachusetts, mocking his "overheated conscience" in Denver, just before a planned trip to Boston, President Theodore Roosevelt denied his furlough request, and ordered him silenced and officially reprimanded.
		Funston took command of the city under martial law, and directed the dynamiting of buildings to create fire-breaks to stop the out-of-control burning of the city.

	His Formative Years by Thomas W. Crouch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Funston was born in New Carlisle, Ohio, on November 9, 1865.
		Funston's consciousness of the needs of the farmer, however, did not embrace the doctrine of a lower tariff, and he was well-known in Kansas as an uncompromising high-tariff man.
		Frederick Funston's employment as a "university guide" during parts of the first two years in Lawrence strengthened this view in some minds, since Congressman Funston was not exactly a poor parent.

	Frederick Funston - Presidio of San Francisco
		Funston described camp life at the Presidio: "Everywhere was sand, sand, sand, deep and fine, blowing into tents, getting into food." Funston called the 20th Kansas Infantry Regiment "Kansas scarecrows" because they lacked uniforms and sophistication which made them a local joke.
		Funston was on the first raft to cross the river through heavy gunfire to confront the revolutionaries on the other side.
		Funston returned to the Presidio as commander of the Department of California, under division command of Maj.Gen. Adolphus W. Greely.

	Frederick Funston, American Insurrecto
		Funston was born in 1865 (six months after the end of the American Civil War, in which his father served) and is remembered more for his military adventures in the Philippines, in which he's credited with the capture of Emilio Aguinaldo on March 23 1901, years after his service with the Cubans.
		Funston turned out to be a first-rate artilleryman, and his biggest problem seemed to be a common rebel difficulty in obtaining ammunition.
		Funston believed the U.S. should interfere in the Cuban war for independence, since "neither side would ever quit fighting otherwise, and Cuban society and wealth would never recover from the devastation of the rebellion," if the war was allowed to continue.

	A Defence of General Funston, by Mark Twain
		Having perfected Lacuna's signature, Funston wrote two letters on February 24 and 28, acknowledging Aguinaldo's communication, and informing him that he (Lacuna) was sending him a few of the best soldiers in his command.
		Added to this neat forgery General Funston dictated a letter which was written by an ex-Insurgent attached to his command, telling Aguinaldo that the relief force had surprised and captured a detachment of Americans, taking five prisoners whom they were bringing to him because of their importance.
		The fact that Funston has achieved notoriety by paralyzing the universe with a fresh and hideous idea, is sufficient for this kind--they will call that hand if they can, and go it one better when the chance offers.

	Frederick Funston Meets Maximo Gomez
		However, Gomez also gave Funston to understand that his was a captaincy that would be without the usual powers of command until he had actually proved himself as an artillerist.
		A subsequent query of the jefe maximo turned the expedicionario's attention to sugar cane, the staple of the rebels and omnipresent crop of the island.
		This incident firmly fixed Funston in the mind of Gomez, who afterwards always addressed him as "Capi." This abbreviated form of the rank "Capitano" was a term of endearment.
