Lee, CSA Dec. 3rd 1865 Commander’s Report Dear Belo Compatriots, Greetings. Hope to see each of you this Thursday the 7th at la Madeleine for the dinner hour from 6:00 – 7:00p.m. and our meeting starting at 7:01p.m. Thanks to each and every one of you that is a member of Belo Camp.

We are also “back in the saddle” – the BELO web-site is back up, bigger and better than ever before. We owe a special thanks to a dear friend of BELO camp, one that is true to the charge! Again, the national convention is coming up here in Dallas/Richardson July 13-17, 2016. Please let me know if you have an interest in attending. Please keep in mind the convention to determine if we as a club want to participate in some of the activities and/ or the process of determining our delegates. We can have a final discussion/game plan at the meeting this Thursday. Please as always bring those dollar bills for the book raffle (unless you need to save some money to pay your upcoming dues)!! We welcome all to our meetings, so please come out and support Belo Camp. So years later, I hope it can be said for each one of us,“Decori decus addit avito”. Deo Vindice, David Hendricks [email protected] Chaplain’s Corn Look Up! God's biggest events are associated with mountains. On Mount Ararat the Ark came to rest after the flood. On Mount Moriah Abraham was summoned to offer Isaac as a test of obedience. On Mount Sinai the law was given to Moses. On Mount Carmel Elijah prayed and fire fell and consumed his offering. On the Mount of Transfiguration Jesus was transformed and became as light. On Mount Calvary the Son of God died for the sins of a lost world. Then on the Mount of Olives, Jesus ascended into Heaven with the assurance that He would return. By this it would seem that to see God's greatness and glory we must look to the mountains, we must look up. When the psalmist writes, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help." (Ps. 121:1) he means that he will look up toward heaven so he can receive the strength, wisdom, and guidance that only God can give. A poet said, "Two men looked out through prison bars, one saw mud, the other saw stars." That's the trouble with so many of us today. We are looking down at the muck and mire of the world instead of looking up. We often surrender to the things that drag us down. We buy and sell, work and play, strive and struggle. The great danger is that as we work, work, work, and worry, worry, worry, our eyes become glued on earthly things and we miss the abundant life God has promised. It may not sit well with some who think they are the captain of their own ship and in charge of their own life and destiny, but without God we are weak, powerless, and helpless. We may be able to chart our own course, but God is in control of the storms. Of course it is important that we carry out our responsibilities. The Bible says, "If any would not work, neither should he eat." (2 Thess. 3:10) An Englishman came to America and asked the question, "Do you have any gentlemen here?" "What do you mean?" he was asked. "In England," he replied, "gentlemen are people who don't work for a living." "Yes, we have many of them," said the American, "but over here we call them tramps." Certainly there are things we must do, but through it all we must never stop looking up. Looking up brings peace. Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you." (John 14:27) Looking up brings joy. Again, Jesus said, "These things I have spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full." (John 15:11) Looking up brings hope. The Apostle Paul writes, "Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that ye may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Ghost." (Rom. 15:13) So, when we are in fear, we must look up. When in sorrow, we must look up. When in despair, we must look up. When our lives seem to be coming unraveled and everything is going in the wrong direction, we must look up. We must lift our eyes to the hills, from whence cometh help. Bro.

It’s called A Heritage of Resisting Tyranny by John L. Girardeau. Girardeau was one of those Southern Ministers that was very influential in the antebellum South and was very pro-Confederate and very Unreconstructed after the War. This little booklet is an address that he gave at the re-interment of the SC men who died at Gettysburg. They were re-interred in 1871. This book needs to be read by every SCV member.

  • The Struve Family in Europe and Texas
    THE STRUVE FAMILY IN EUROPE AND TEXAS An 1843 publication by Amand von Struve (1798-1867), a brother of Heinrich Struve (1812- 1898) was the source of information for a re-publication in 1881 by Heinrich von Struve (1840-??), a professor in Warsaw, Poland and a nephew of Heinrich Struve (1812-1898), the man who came to Texas. It is now offered [in an abridged form] by Arno Struve of Abernathy, Texas, great-grandson of Heinrich Struve (1812-1898). The reader is referred to a further explanation of this book at the conclusion of Lebensbild/Memories of My Life. (Title page lettered by D. Z. Ward and manuscript typed by Sandy Struve.) Sandy is a daughter-in-law of Arno Struve. You have in hand the story of a family named Struve. Once it was von Struve. Some individuals still retain the von. The earlier use of the “von” in our name is evidence that someone back there somewhere was honored for service rendered his king. The von is roughly equivalent to knighthood in the English world in which the title “Sir” was conferred by the king. In the English world, however, the title is not inherited whereas in the German practice it is. The importance of the title “von” is difficult for Americans to grasp but Germans fully understand its weight. One of my cousins insisted that I should use the von at least while traveling in Europe, but my egalitarian upbringing would not allow me to feel comfortable doing it. The “von” was dropped from the name when certain family members who were promoting democracy in Germany felt it unbecoming to use an unearned title.

The religious reasons for vegetarianism vary from sparing animals from suffering to maintaining one's spiritual purity. In Christianity and Islam, vegetarianism has not been a mainstream practice although some, especially mystical, sects have practiced it.

  • Gustav Struve (1805-1870)
    Gustav Struve (1805-1870) Gustav von Struve wurde am 11. Oktober 1805 als Sohn eines russischen Gesandten in Karlsruhe geboren. Nach Schulbildung in München und Karls- ruhe studierte Struve in Göttingen und Heidelberg Jura. Von 1829 bis 1831 war er im oldenburgischen Staatsdienst tätig, siedelte 1833 nach Baden über, wo er ab 1836 als Rechtsan- walt in Mannheim praktizierte. Daneben war Struve journali- stisch tätig - in ständi- gem Kampf mit der Zensur. 1831 war er Teilneh- mer an den Verhand- lungen des Bundes- tages in Frankfurt. In Mannheim schloß er Freundschaft mit Hecker. Das Adels- prädikat legte er 1847 bewußt ab. Er war einer der führenden Teilnehmer der Offen- burger Versammlun- gen von 1847 und 1848 und Mitglied des Frankfurter Vorparla- ments, übte das Man- dat jedoch nie aus. 1845 heiratete Gustav Struve Amalie Düsar, 1824 geboren als Tochter eines Sprach- lehrers für Franzö- sisch, aus finanziell gesicherten, aber offenbar zeitweilig chaotischen Familien- verhältnissen kom- mend.

  • Gustav Struve Friedrich Hecker
    GUSTAV STRUVE 1805 – 1870 & FRIEDRICH HECKER 1811 – 1881 Die beiden Mannheimer Advokaten und Prokuratoren werden vor allem wegen ihrer Rolle in der badischen Revolution 1848 oft gemeinsam genannt. Der in Mün- chen geborene Diplomatensohn Struve und der aus Eichtersheim im Kraichgau stammende Hecker waren seit 1838 Berufskollegen und alsbald politische Weg- gefährten; eine enge Freundschaft verband sie gleich- wohl nicht. Gustav von Struve, der in Göttingen und Heidelberg Rechtswissenschaft studiert hatte, wurde der Famili- entradition folgend zunächst Attaché der oldenbur- gischen Bundestagsgesandtschaft in Frankfurt. Nach Stationen im Justizdienst ließ er sich 1833 in Mann- heim nieder und erlangte 1836 die Zulassung als Ober- gerichts-Advocat. Zugleich war er publizistisch tätig und kam als Redakteur des Mannheimer Journals wie- derholt mit der Zensur in Konfl ikt.

  • Evidence from the Forty-Eighters in the Civil War∗
    Leadership in Social Networks: Evidence from the Forty-Eighters in the Civil War∗ Christian Dippely Stephan Heblichz January 24th, 2019 Click Here For Up-To-Date Version Abstract A growing theoretical literature emphasizes that prominent individuals (‘leaders’) can be instrumental in changing behaviors and beliefs inside social networks. We test this assertion in the context of the U.S. Civil War. Our analysis is organized around the natural experiment of the “Forty-Eighter” anti-slavery campaigners’ settlement in the U.S., and their impact on the mobilization of Union Army volunteers. Towns where Forty-Eighters settled in the 1850s increased their enlistments by ten men per hundred adult males over the course of the war, or roughly eighty percent. The Forty-Eighters’ influence worked at least in part through the local press and local social clubs. In the army, Forty-Eighter officers reduced their companies’ desertion rate. In the long run, towns where Forty-Eighters settled were more likely to form a local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

  • Heroes of the Exile
    Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels The Heroes of the Exile Written: May-June 1852; First Published: In Russian 1930, German MEW 1960; Translated by: Rodney Livingston Transcription/Markup: Andy Blunden 2002; Proofed and corrected by Mark Harris, 2010. Not often one can use a word like hilarious with Karl and Fred (though Fred was usually a much more lively and rapid writer), but Heroes of the Exile can be very funny. Wasn't published in his lifetime, though he intended it to be... (that is, it wasn't an “unfinished work” in the sense the Economic and Philsophical Manuscripts were, say).Here's a snippet from translator Rodney Livingstone's 1970 intro to Heroes -- This pamphlet is one of Marx's most brilliant satirical achievements. Its excellence as satire stands out all the more clearly for the fact that, unlike many of his other works which have a satirical element, the prime purpose of the work is satirical: a polemic on the world of German emigres with its venomous internecine struggles, its petty personality conflicts, complicated intrigues, pretentious political manoeuvres and sordid compromises with the realities of living in exile with “dubious sources of income”.It would be a mistake to suppose that the work was actuated by malice, that it was merely a series of personal attacks on people who irritated Marx. It is often supposed that Marx was essentially a heavy, humourless man and that if his works contain humour it is the expression only of a ponderous, “Germanic” predilection for sarcasm without true wit or feeling. His talent for polemic is then seen as springing from an almost obsessive compulsion to win, to be in the right, to beat down all opposition.
