This page providES
access TO THE GUARDIA NACIONAL'S "NEWS LETTERS"
right now,
74 newsletters comprising 1,419 pages of text, covering most of the 20 months from April
30, 1931 to
December 23, 1932.
These are interesting documents, very
limited in some ways and very rich in others.
Filled mainly with the comings & goings
of regiments, batallions & squads who's
coming & going where & when they also contain
what apparently were considered exemplary or
especially important patrol & combat &
intelligence reports, along with other odds & ends. Their
intended purpose, it seems, was to help nurture
a sense of collective identity amongst the
Guardia troops by providing a common textual
reference for soldiers to turn to & find out what their
buddies were up to, what a model patrol report
looked like, what the latest "dope" showed
about the "bandits" and more
broadly, to provide a common
vocabulary & conceptual framework for the
institution as a whole. Oddly, these
Guardia Newsletters appear only in English.
It is likely that a Spanish-language version was
produced, especially in 1931-32, but was simply
not archived by the State Dept.
These newsletters offer a goldmine of
some types of data. They would make it
possible, for instance, to track the movements
of most every Guardia unit in space and time. A content analysis would
reveal significant regional variations and offer
a good proxy for where the Sandino rebellion
found its strongest bases of social support,
among other things. The many combat,
intelligence & other reports convey much
valuable information. Unless
otherwise indicated, all the following PDF files
were digitally copied from Microfilm 1273
(M1273), Records of the Department of State
Relating to Internal Affairs of Nicaragua,
1930-1944, reels 21-23.
I
thank Arnold Grant-funded Lebanon
Valley College student Melissa A. Zellner for her
excellent work preparing these digital images
for publication here; the Arnold family of
Lebanon, PA, for their generous grant to LVC
that helped to make this work possible; and the
Arnold Grant Selection Committee for deeming
this project worthy of Arnold Grant funding.
