Robert Edward Crane
Actor. He is best remembered for his role as Colonel Robert E. Hogan in the CBS television sitcom World War II series "Hogan's Heroes" that aired from September 1965 until July 1971. Born Robert Edward Crane, he grew up in Stamford, Connecticut, and began playing the drums, joining the Stamford High School marching and jazz bands and the orchestra. After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the Connecticut Army National Guard for two years. In 1950, he began his broadcasting career at WLEA in Hornell, New York, and, from there, he moved to WBIS in Bristol, Connecticut, and then to WICC in Bridgeport, Connecticut. In 1956, he was hired by the CBS radio network to host the morning show at its west coast flagship KNX in Los Angeles, California, filling the broadcast with sly wit, drumming, and such guests as Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, and Bob Hope. His show quickly topped the morning ratings with adult listeners in the Los Angeles area. By then, he had ambitions to become an actor. He began guest-hosting for Johnny Carson on the ABC daytime television game show "Who Do You Trust?" and made appearances on "The Twilight Zone" (uncredited), "Channing," "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," and "General Electric Theater." After comedian/screenwriter Carl Reiner appeared on his radio show, he persuaded him to book a guest appearance on "The Dick Van Dyke Show," where he was noticed by Donna Reed, who suggested him for the role of neighbor 'Dr. Dave Kelsey' in her ABC television sitcom "The Donna Reed Show" from 1963 through 1965. In 1965, he was offered the starring role in a television comedy pilot about a World War II German POW camp called "Hogan's Heroes," and it became a hit and finished in the Top Ten in its first year on the air. The series lasted six seasons, and Crane was twice nominated for an Emmy Award. He also appeared in television's "The Lucy Show" and "The Red Skelton Show" during this time. In 1968, he and several "Hogan's Heroes" costars appeared in a feature film called "The Wicked Dreams of Paula Schultz." In 1969, he starred with Abby Dalton in "Cactus Flower." When "Hogan's Heroes" was cancelled in 1971, he appeared in two Walt Disney films, "Superdad" (1973), in the title role, and "Gus" (1976), in a featured role. In 1973, he purchased the rights to "Beginner's Luck," a play that he starred in and directed. The production toured for five years, predominantly at dinner theaters around the country, and he became a fixture in that venue. During breaks, he guest starred in a number of television shows, including "Tenafly," "Police Woman," "Gibbsville," "Ellery Queen," "Quincy, M.E.," and "The Love Boat." In 1975, he returned to television with his own series, "The Bob Crane Show," that was canceled by NBC after three months. In June 1978, he was appearing in "Beginner's Luck" at the Windmill Dinner Theater in Scottsdale, Arizona. When he failed to show up for a lunch meeting, he was discovered beaten to death in his apartment. His friend, John Henry Carpenter, with whom he was involved in filming sexual encounters with women, was suspected of the murder based on forensic evidence found in his rented car, but due to insufficient evidence, Carpenter was not immediately charged. In 1990, the case was re-opened and after new evidence came to light, Carpenter was arrested in June, 1992, and charged with Crane's murder. At the conclusion of the trial in 1994, Carpenter was found not guilty and continued to maintain his innocence until his death in 1998. His murder remains one of Hollywood's greatest unsolved mysteries. He was married twice; first to his high school sweetheart Anne Terzian (1949 to 1970) and then to actress Sigrid Valdis who played the role of Hilda on "Hogan's Heroes" (1970 to 1978). In 2002, his life was the subject of the film "Auto Focus," starring Greg Kinnear as Crane.

Regimental History

Battles Fought

A few days after the arrival of the federal army in Batesville, in the spring of 1862, H.V. Gray, a loyalist from Black River township, in Independence County, with about forty of his neighbors, who, with others to the number of one hundred or upwards, had previously banded themselves together to resist, by force, if need be, attempts to urge them into the rebel service, made their appearance at the headquarters of General Curtis, and tendered their services to the government. Capt. Gray requested permission to recruit for a regiment of six-months men. A few months previous to this he came near losing his life at the hands of a mob, but a short distance from where headquarters then were, for saying that if he did any fighting during the contest it would be under the stars and stripes. This circumstance, with others showing the determined bravery and persistent loyalty of himself and associates so challenged the respect and admiration of the commanding general that he complied with the request, notwithstanding he then had no authority from the War Department to recruit six-months men. Afterwards authority was given to Pleasant Turney, of Independence and L. D.Toney, of Izard County to recruit. In June Thomas S. Williams and George Gallaway came into the lines from Conway County, each with about thirty men. They had organized some time previously, in like manner with the people of Black River township, for self defense, and were compelled to flee to the army, be killed, or go into the rebel service. Men recruited under the authority referred to, residing within the lines, remained at home until the last of June, no authority having been given for their muster in.
On the last day of June, very unexpectedly to the people, General Curtis moved down White River. These recruits, with many other persons obnoxious to those in rebellion, left with the army, and so sudden and unexpected was the leaving, that men about their daily avocations, a short distance from home, on learning that the army was in motion, left without returning to say farewell to their families or procure a change of clothing. All believed the country was to be held, and that they were not again to be subjected to rebel violence and oppression. In this they were mistaken.
On the arrival of the army at Helena, these recruits, with others who had been compelled to leave their homes, were mustered and organized into a battalion of infantry, of which J. C. Bundy was appointed lieutenant colonel. They had expected to be permitted to mount themselves and for this purpose,, on leaving, as well as to prevent their rebel neighbors from getting them, had taken their horses. This they were denied and being allowed neither to forage upon the country or draw forage from the quartermaster's department, some of their animals died, and the remainder were sold for a trifle or given away. Anxiety concerning their families, who were suffering every indignity at the hands of their enemies, and could be heard from only after uncertain and long intervals; inactivity in camp, loss of property, and disappointment in not seeing their State seized and held by the strong arm of military power, so aggravated diseases prevailing in camp that in October there were not sufficient men in health for camp duty. In this condition they were ordered to St. Louis, and sent to Benton barracks, where they remained until their muster out on the 31st day of December, 1862. During the six months nearly one hundred and fifty died from disease, to including Captains Gray and Turney and Lieut. Clark.
It is worthy of note that this battalion was composed mostly of men who had banded themselves together to resist the cause of treason before federal troops entered the State.
"Very truly, your obedient servant
C.C. Bliss"
