At this point in his life Brown was a “wanted man” with a large price on his head for his activities in the Kansas Territory. The four men presented themselves as Issac Smith & Sons, cattlemen from New York. They sought a small farm to serve as a feeding lot for the cattle they intended to purchase and fatten--in fact they were searching for a “staging area” for their intended raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. John Unseld, a resident of the neighborhood, suggested the old Kennedy farm. Doctor Kennedy had died earlier that spring and the farmhouse was vacant and unfurnished. Brown and his followers went to the farm and liking what they saw leased the place for $35 in gold for nine months to come. Following the occupation of the house, “Issac Smith” sent home for Mrs. “Smith” to come down to give the appearance of a family at the Kennedy Farm. She was much too busy at home-blessed what he was about to do and sent daughter-in-law Martha, Oliver’s 17 year old wife and her 16 year old daughter Annie Brown. Annie and Martha served as the cook and housekeepers for the Provisional Army of the United States as they arrived, one or two at a time throughout the summer months. Life at the farm grated on the men’s nerves. In order to keep a low local profi le, the men had to stay inside all day, cooped up in two buildings, playing checkers, reading, and arguing. They drilled frequently, and studied a military manual on guerrilla warfare. At night they were allowed out for fresh air and exercise. Annie and Mar- tha, in addition to cooking and cleaning for the men, kept a sharp lookout for inquisitive neighbors. Continued 4 Continued from page 4 In later years, Annie recalled: When I washed dishes, I stood at the end of the table where I could see out of the window and open door if any one approached the house. I was constantly on the lookout while carrying the victuals across the porch, and while I was tidying or sweeping the rooms, and always at my post on the porch when the men were eating. My evenings were spent on the porch or sitting on the stairs watching or listening. If a neighbor did come calling, Annie would divert her while the men went upstairs and hid in the attic. In late September, as it grew closer to the time of attack, Annie and Martha were sent back home, to North Elba, and the men made their fi nal preparations. The Federal Government has deemed the house a National Historic Landmark- the government way of say- ing that this house played a signifi cant role in the history of the United States. The old farmhouse has been completely restored with the use of federal, state and philanthropic funds under the direction of the Maryland Historical Trust at Annapolis, Maryland. “The Great Trade-off.” The year, 1974, when they voted to name my Kennedy Farm into the elite group called a National Historic Landmark they also brought aboard Beauvoir, Jefferson Davis’ home in Biloxi, Mississippi. Two big rebels, John Brown and Jefferson Davis. I don’t really believe that either would have been elected to the Landmark group without the other. A member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans got them both in as Land- marks. Just a thought. ‘Capt’ South T.

  • General George Doles' Georgia Brigade on July 1
    “We sleep here in obedience to law; when duty called we came, when country called we died.” General George Doles’ Georgia Brigade on July 1 Matt Atkinson July 1, 1863, 2:00 P.M.: The sporadic crack of rifles and the booming of artillery reverberated across the plain and beyond the tree line in front of the Georgians who comprised the brigade led by Brigadier General George Doles. As the soldiers sought to assuage their sore feet and dry throats, there must have been reflection on the prior two years of sanguinary conflict. So many lives lost, so many close calls for the survivors. Now here they were, after all this marching, face to face once again with their familiar foe. Maybe this battle would be the last. Maybe this battle would gain their country’s independence. Maybe after this battle, they could go home. Collectively, the four regiments comprising Doles’ brigade, the 4th, 44th, 12th, and 21st Georgia, had seen much combat prior to the Army of Northern Virginia’s march onto the fields of Gettysburg. The 4th Georgia was organized in 1861 under the command of then-Colonel Doles to defend the nascent Confederacy. From 1861 to 1863, the regiment served consecutively in the brigades of Albert G. Blanchard, Ambrose Wright, and Roswell Ripley and participated in the battles of Seven Days (Malvern Hill), Sharpsburg (Miller’s Cornfield), and Fredericksburg.1 At Gettysburg, the 4th Georgia would be under the command of Lt. Col. David R. E. Winn. Winn, a native of Americus, Georgia, began his military career as a first lieutenant in the Confederate army and rose through the ranks to lieutenant colonel by November 1862.

  • Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, May 23, 1863
    Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, May 23, 1863. 80 Long, Hot Summer of ‘63 Rebecca Lyons Our sovereign lord the King chargeth and commandeth all persons, being assembled, immediately to disperse themselves, and peaceably to depart to their habitations or to their lawful businesses, upon the pains contained in the Act made in the first year of King George, for preventing tumults and riotous assemblies. God save the King.1 So read the Riot Act of 1715. Max Heirich made it quite clear in his impressive work, The Spiral of Conflict, that whenever people interact, there is always the possibility of rising tension. And it has been so in American history. David Grimsted, in America Mobbing, 1826-1861, stated that “social violence ...is always [a] human and understandable response to social inequity or restraint... “ In fact, he goes on to state that “riots were neither rare nor commonplace in antebellum society but a piece of the on going process of democratic accommodation, compromise and unquestionable tension between groups with different interests.” Richard Maxwell Brown believed that “violence represents the attempt of established Americans to preserve their favored position in the social, economic, and political order.” And, he continues, “This seems to be the true significance of much of the urban rioting of the nineteenth century.” George Rude, in his book, The Crowd in History 1730- 1848, wrote that “The crowd may riot because it is hungry or fears to be so, because it has some deep social grievance, because it seeks an immediate reform . or because it wants to destroy an enemy or acclaim a ‘hero’; but it is seldom for any single one of these reasons alone.” Paul Gilje wrote that “riots might still occasionally be tolerated as long as they were not too violent and were on behalf of the whole community...” Riots attract criminals and petty thieves, murderers, arsonists and looters as well as those with claims and complaints.

We hope this edition of the Admiral’s Log finds all of you doing well. We certainly hope all of you have had a blessed, joyous, and safe Christmas Holiday. On behalf of Camp 11 we wish all of you the very best in the coming year. Let your New Year’s resolution be that you will ’stand fast’ in the perpetuation of our honorable Confederate heritage. Our Camp 11 Christmas party at the Dew Drop Inn was time of wonderful fellowship. We cannot say enough good things about Powell and the Dew Drop staff for their delicious food and down-home hospitality. One of our door prizes was a Butler chamber pot, second edition. The second edition has a heads- up penny attached to the inside of the pot. Now there is a third edition making the rounds on social media. It contains a photograph of New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu. Looks like that scalawag has earned his place in the bottom of a chamber pot! And well deserved, I must add. On January 17, 2016 Camp 11 will host its annual Lee-Jackson salute at Confederate Rest in Magnolia Cemetery. The service will start at 2pm. You and your friends and family are cordially invited to attend this event. Our next camp meeting will be on January 25, 2016 at the Dew Drop Inn. We hope to see you there.

  • Lieutenant Hartsuff and the Banana Plants by RAY B
    Te %es t,^ Lieutenant Hartsuff and the Banana Plants By RAY B. SELEY, JR. Most readers of Florida history have come across the story of how the third phase of the Seminole Wars was started in December of 1855, when the soldiers "chopped down the banana plants, just to see Old Billy cut up," and how Billy Bowlegs retaliated by attacking the party next morning. The incident changed the pattern of the efforts of the United States Govern- ment to send the Seminoles to the Indian Territory and should not be dismissed so lightly. For several years before the attack a system of pressure tactics had been used in the attempt to persuade the Seminoles to emigrate to the Indian Territory.1 Increasing numbers of troops were placed on the frontier, military roads and outposts were built and more citizens were allowed to occupy the areas vacated by the Indians. At the same time, the Indians were urged to migrate by some of their brethren who were brought from Indian Territory for that purpose, and rewards were offered for the capture of Indians. Following the attack, open hostilities broke out, ending in 1858 when all but a few of the remaining Seminoles had been captured and sent to Oklahoma. The Military records indicate that the story of the destruction of the banana plants has no foundation in fact. While there is mention of some soldiers taking bananas from a deserted village, it appears likely that the Indians making the attack did not know it. When advised that the first small military patrol of the new dry season was proceeding along the road to the outposts established during the previous winter, Bowlegs probably ordered 1 James W.
