  • The American Civil War: a War of Logistics
    THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR: A WAR OF LOGISTICS Franklin M. Welter A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2015 Committee: Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor Dwayne Beggs © 2015 Franklin M. Welter All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor The American Civil War was the first modern war. It was fought with weapons capable of dealing death on a scale never before seen. It was also the first war which saw the widespread use of the railroad. Across the country men, materials, and supplies were transported along the iron rails which industrial revolution swept in. Without the railroads, the Union would have been unable to win the war. All of the resources, men, and materials available to the North mean little when they cannot be shipped across the great expanse which was the North during the Civil War. The goals of this thesis are to examine the roles and issues faced by seemingly independent people in very different situations during the war, and to investigate how the problems which these people encountered were overcome. The first chapter, centered in Ohio, gives insight into the roles which noncombatants played in the process. Farmers, bakers, and others behind the lines. Chapter two covers the journey across the rails, the challenges faced, and how they were overcome. This chapter looks at how those in command handled the railroad, how it affected the battles, especially Gettysburg, and how the railroads were defended over the course of the war, something which had never before needed to be considered.

  • Read Kendall W. Gambrill's History of Highland
    History of Highland Kendall W.Gambrill History of Maryland January 19, 1965 here is nothing altogether earth shattering about Highland. T Neither is there any momentous event in its history. The fate of no army was decided by where Josh Disney emptied his chamber pot. No government fell when Mrs. Dentz sang out her hymn on A windy March morning. Yet, the events alluded to and the many Others which, added to them, make the history of Highland are Worthy of being recorded. History is the story of man. The History of Highland is a tale taken from that story. There are two elements to this history. One is the physical Setting, and the other is the people associated with that setting. Highland is located North 39° 11’, West 76° 57’. To the south Lies the Patuxent river. Highland extends several miles north- East of the Patuxent for about three miles along its length. There being no official boundaries, one is left with determining For oneself just where Highland ends and some other community begins. The land is in the gently rolling lower Piedmont. As the most conspicuous topographical feature of the area, The Patuxent river attracted the attention of the first of our Species in the area - the Indians. The Indians gave it the name It now holds. In their tongue the name means “Small Descending Waters”.1 Although these Indians, the Piscataways, lived in Southern Maryland, it is evident that they were familiar with The length of the Patuxent valley by the name they gave to this river.

What I really meant was that the meeting after the January meeting would be the March meeting. Ah, well. As it turned out we needed t postpone te January meeting anyway. The new date is February 15th - barring ay issues that jump up and change things between now and then.
