Names of individuals who often corresponded with, for, or about General Grant were shortened to their initials for the sake of brevity. In most instances, these individuals will be found by searching for their initials (however, this may not always be the case; searching the individual’s last name may yield additional results).

  • The Armies at Gettysburg

    The Armies at Gettysburg

    Papers of the 2017 Gettysburg National Military Park Seminar Epilogue: The Armies at Gettysburg John Heiser, Gettysburg NMP The summer of 1863 witnessed one of the most intense and risky campaigns of the American Civil War when General Robert E. Lee removed the primary force in northern Virginia that kept the Union Army from the defenses of the capital of the Confederacy and marched his Army of Northern Virginia north and across the Potomac River. Described as a raid by some historians or a well calculated strategy by others, it was a bold move to take the war out of Virginia, relieve pressure in other theaters of the war, and place additional political pressure for the Lincoln Administration to bow to calls to end the bloodletting, the Union was not worth the price. In pursuit of and shadowing Lee’s forces was the Army of the Potomac, one of the largest armies of the Union and the most politically driven. Two years of war, changes in commanders and administration had likewise re-arranged the structure of the Army and how it functioned. It was not until 1863 when it, like it’s counterpart in gray, had fully adjusted the army’s support system and military organization, which neither sparked its ability to move and fight nor diminished that ability. Leadership under General Joseph Hooker was wanton of action; mere words did not win a battle and without personal confidence in himself, the prospect for success in any military campaign was pre-ordained to fail. Likewise, the political implications of poor army management weighed heavily on the Lincoln administration and its war aims.

    City of Philadelphia : NIZAH MORRIS : Police Advisory Commission : : Complaint No

    In re: : City of Philadelphia : NIZAH MORRIS : Police Advisory Commission : : Complaint No. 31279 Before: Commissioners James C. Crumlish III, Esq. Ronda B. Goldfein, Esq. Charles F. Volz Jr., Esq. March 28, 2013 O P I N I O N A. PREFACE More than ten years ago, Nizah Morris sustained a fatal head wound within minutes of riding in a Philadelphia police vehicle. Her homicide has not been solved, and the investigation into her death includes conflicting testimony between police officers, between police officers and independent wit‐ nesses, and redacted documents. Nizah Morris was a transwoman and the mysterious circumstances of her death have left Philadelphia’s LGBT community fearful and marginalized. To reassure all of Philadelphia’s citizens of their right to police service, respect, and safety, we have attempted to thoughtfully and painstakingly review the matter before us. To that end, we have reviewed the extensive files of the Philadelphia Police Department (“Police”), the Philadelphia District Attorney (“D.A.”), and the Philadelphia Police Advisory Commission that previously issued an advisory opinion. We are cognizant that we are neither a law enforcement nor prosecutorial agency and that we cannot compel the D.A. or even the Police to reenergize their efforts to bring a resolution to this homi‐ cide. However, it is apparent from our review that the progress of investigations to date in this matter has been seriously impaired by both bureaucratic and defensive attitudes of many concerned. This has compelled us to forward this opinion to the Pennsylvania Attorney General and the federal Depart‐ ment of Justice and ask both agencies to look into the issues presented.
