Charles Trowbridge, officer and gentleman

Charles Trowbridge was born on this date in 1835. He was a White-American soldier, abolitionist, and politician.

Charles Tyler Trowbridge was from Morristown, New Jersey in an area known as Trowbridge Mountain. He was third of seven children born to Elijah Freeman Trowbridge and Temperance Ludlow Muchmore. His family moved to Brooklyn, New York in 1854. In 1857 he married Emeline Haviland Jackson at Freehold, New Jersey. They had one child, Ida Emeline Trowbridge who died in 1858.

Trowbridge enlisted in the Union Army in December 1861; later that month he married his second wife Jane Pooler Martin. As a Sergeant under General David Hunter, Trowbridge was reassigned to the 1st South Carolina Volunteers in May of 1862. At the time Hunter declared martial law and freedom for all blacks in Union-held territories. President Lincoln rescinded Hunter's orders and the unit was disbanded in August of 1862. The Regiment was reorganized in November 1862 and Sergeant Trowbridge was commissioned as Captain. He assumed command of Company A, and was promoted to the rank of Major. He was known to have had daily devotion with the regiment, and gave his men speeches on the equality of the races in which he told them they should not allow themselves to be considered less than equal.

Black author Susie King Taylor in her book A Black Woman's Civil War Memoirs wrote, "He was greatly admired by his troops. No officer in the army was more beloved than our late Lieutenant-Colonel C.T. Trowbridge." Taylor also wrote of the General Orders to muster out, "They were delighted to go home, but oh how they hated to part from their commanding chief, Colonel C.T. Trowbridge. He was the very first officer to take charge of black soldiers. We thought there was no one like him." After the war, he returned to New York and was a four-term alderman from the 10th Ward of Brooklyn. In April of 1882 he moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Trowbridge visited his former soldiers on at least two occasions, in 1884 and 1890. On the latter visit all of his former soldiers living in the area held a "campfire" for him. Trowbridge became the custodian of the old Minnesota capitol building until his death on Christmas Eve of 1907. The Governor of Minnesota ordered the flag flown at half-staff and the capitol building closed on the day of the funeral.

In 1944, the CIA wrote a handbook on how to sabotage (enemy) organizations from the inside.

A few interesting tips:

(1) Insist on doing everything through “channels.” Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.

(2) Make “speeches.” Talk as frequently as possible and at great length.

(3) When possible, refer all matters to committees, for “further study and consideration.” Attempt to make the committees as large as possible—never less than five.

(4) Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.

(5) Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.

(6) Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.

(7) Demand written orders.

(8) “Misunderstand” orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders. Quibble over them when you can.

(9) Do everything possible to delay the delivery of orders. Even though parts of an order may be ready beforehand, don’t deliver it until it is completely ready.

(10) In making work assignments, always sign out the unimportant jobs first.

(11) Insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products; send back for refinishing those which have the least flaw. Approve other defective parts whose flaws are not visible to the naked eye.

(12) When training new workers, give incomplete or misleading instructions.

(13) To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work.

(14) Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.

(15) Multiply paper work in plausible ways.

(16) Start duplicate files.

(17) Multiply the procedures and clearances involved in issuing instructions, pay checks, and so on. See that three people have to approve everything where one would do.

(18) Apply all regulations to the last letter.

(19) Do your work poorly and blame it on bad tools, machinery, or equipment. Complain that these things are preventing you from doing your job right.

(20) Never pass on your skill and experience to a new or less skillful worker.

(21) Snarl up administration in every possible way. Fill out forms illegibly so that they will have to be done over; make mistakes or omit requested information in forms.

(22) Give lengthy and incomprehensible explanations when questioned.

(23) Act stupid.

(24) Be as irritable and quarrelsome as possible without getting
yourself into trouble.

(25) Misunderstand all sorts of regulations concerning such matters as rationing, transportation, traffic regulations.

New Year’s resolution: Do the exact opposite.
