Bright Starry Banner: A Novel of the Civil War. Soho Press, Inc., $27.00 ISBN 1569473552 Way out west Battle of Stone's River retold Civil War history and fiction are rarely combined with any success. Alden R. Carter, attempts to venture where few have triumphed in Bright and Starry Banner and meets the same fate as countless other authors. Set in the shadows of the Stones River Campaign, Carter takes the reader into the minds of the Union and Confederate leaders who fought for victory in the west. Carter's principle character is Lieutenant Colonel Julius Garesche, the 41 year old chief of staff of the Union Army of the Cumberland, who begins the story with reluctant hopes as he begins service on the staff of Major General William S. Rosecrans, the army's newly appointed leader. Gradually we follow Garesche as he bears witness to a seesaw battle that develops into a stalemate, and with it, the continuing struggle. The Battle of Stones River, was fought around the Widow Smith House in Murfreesboro Tennessee from December 31, 1862 to January 2, 1863.

    Warrior for President October 7, 2003 by Dr

    Warrior for President October 7, 2003 by Dr. G. Terry Madonna and Dr. Michael Young Retired General Wesley Clarke doesn't live in Gettysburg as former President Dwight Eisenhower once did, but neither Clarke nor his supporters is going to object strenuously if you confuse him with Eisenhower in other ways. As the only professional military officer to run for the Presidency since Ike, Clarke likes the comparisons. And well he should. Successful warrior candidates, such as Eisenhower, have a special prominence in presidential electoral politics stretching back to George Washington, Andrew Jackson, and Zachary Taylor, through a bevy of Civil War officers, including Ulysses Grant and Rutherford Hayes, to modern times. Throughout its history, America has had an affinity for its warriors, electing them to high office, sometimes regardless of their political and civilian experience or ability. Military candidates don't always win, but they win often enough that their candidacy is always significant--and always taken seriously. Their credentials in combination with their standing as non-politicians make them seem ideal candidates to many. So when Wesley Clarke announced his candidacy, he immediately became a member of the gang of ten seeking the Democratic nomination. However, much more importantly, he also became a category of one-- alone in the field as a member of the professional warrior class. And the reaction to him as a candidate is very similar to the reaction earlier warriors have generated. Much, for example, has been made about his political inexperience, his issue inconsistency, his unfamiliarity with domestic issues, and his general lack of experience outside the military.

    A Union Officer's Recollections of the Negro As a Soldier

    A UNION OFFICER'S RECOLLECTIONS OF THE NEGRO AS A SOLDIER BY hORACEl I INTGOAlFRY* A LTHOUG1H the Negro figured prominently in the background to the American Civil War, the federal government was re- luctant to accept him as a soldier. Not until mid-summer of 1862 was tile Lincoln administration authorized to receive colored re- cruits.' Systematic enrollment did not come until the next Year, molnths after the Emlancipation Proclamation. So strong was northern prejudice against putting the black man in a blue uni- form that IHar'er's Weekly devoted three pages of its issue of March 14, 1863, to illustrations of Negroes as soldiers, its editor frankly admitting that he hoped thereby to counteract the un- fortunate state of public feeling on the subject. On October 21. 1863, Horace Greeley's New York Tribune blistered Governor Horatio Seymour for refusing to follow the examples of Pennsyl- vania and MAlassachiusetts in recruiting Negroes for service in the Union cause. On May 22. 1863, the War Department finally ordered the establishment of the Bureau for Colored Troops. Within a month Major George L. Stearns was appointed recruiting officer for colored troops in the eastern and middle states. He promptly went to Philadelphia and there, amidst much enthusiasm, began his assignment.2 * Dr. Montgomery is Professor of History at the University of Georgia.

    Anthracite and the Irish: Extricating the Irish Immigrant Mining Community from the Molly Maguire Myth, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, 1850-1879

    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: Anthracite and the Irish: Extricating the Irish Immigrant Mining Community from the Molly Maguire Myth, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, 1850-1879 William Francis Byron, Master of Arts, 1996 Thesis directed by: Peter H. Argersinger, Professor, History The Molly Maguires were a reputed secret society of Irish immigrant mine workers who allegedly terrorized the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania from the Civil War until twenty men convicted as Molly Maguires were hanged in the late 1870s. The sensational nature of the Molly trials and executions has spawned a myth concerning the Molly Maguires which has clouded historical understanding of the episode. One of the unfortunate results of the Molly Maguire myth is that the legacy of the nineteenth-century anthracite Irish mining community has been inextricably and wrongly tied to the legacy of the alleged criminal activities of the Molly Maguires. The thesis seeks to draw a portrait of the Irish mining community of one anthracite county, Schuylkill, with as much depth as possible. The thesis first details Irish demographics and culture within Schuylkill County and proceeds to follow the Irish community through the years of the first regional mine workers' union to the destruction of UMBC the union as a consequence of the bitter ''Long Strike" of 1875 . The thesis demonstrates that negative expectations of the Irish conditioned negative perceptions by Schuylkill County's native population. The mass executions of the alleged Molly Maguires were only possible because of the deep anti-Irish sentiment that existed in Schuylkill among the non Irish, from Anglo-Protestant mine bosses to the large Welsh immigrant mining community.

    Kathryn Andrews Teaching Resource Kathryn Andrews: Run for President / September 10, 2016 – January 8, 2017

    Kathryn Andrews Teaching Resource Kathryn Andrews: Run for President / September 10, 2016 – January 8, 2017 About Kathryn Andrews Los Angeles-based artist Kathryn Andrews (American, born 1973) mines the American cultural landscape to investigate relationships between popular culture and power structures, in particular how images and brands are used to establish authority. Andrews's work, which combines found objects, historic images, and references to art movements such as Pop Art and minimalism aims to show how meaning is contingent on context. Run for President Addressing the heightened sociopolitical climate of an election year, the exhibition—Andrews's first solo museum presentation in the United States— loosely weaves together narratives around historic and imaginary candidates, the campaign trail, sitting in office and the end of the presidential term. Candidates Kathryn Andrews Make a list of the skills or characteristics you think qualify someone to be president. Next, list the physical or personal qualities you think people look for in a candidate for president. How do these two lists compare? In the Historical Campaign Poster Painting series, Andrews combines images of historical presidential candidates with memorabilia from Hollywood movie characters. The silkscreened images on these artworks were appropriated from original prints produced by Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives in the late 19th century. (See the Pop Culture Glossary section of this guide for more information.) In the right side of each artwork, Andrews has created an inset space which holds a certified costume worn in a major Hollywood film, suggesting parallels between the qualities of the candidate and the qualities of the character who wore the costume.
