The purpose of the project is to examine the complex historical and architectural relationships among 000 construction on a nationwide basis to provide comparative Information on the historic significance of military construction In the contiguous United States between 1790 a~ 1940. The National Military Context integrates the three components of an historic context: time period, geographic area, and theme. The overall study is organized into fIVe sections: Part I - Chronological Overview; Part 1/ - Theme Studies; Part 11/- Property Types; Part N - Installation Site Reports; and, Part V - National Register Nomination Case Studies. Part IV - Installation Site Reports is presented in the following section and demonstrates how specific examples of military installations relate to the Overview, Themes, and Property Types. This section of the report illustrates how the components of the context are tied to 000 real property. ' Data are presented for seventy-five active-duty installations that will enable the reader to place the Installation within its appropriate context and will enable comparisons among similar installations. The information for the Marine Reservation at Puget Sound is incorporated into the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Marine Reservation installation site report The site reports consist of the following sections: 1. Time Period: This section lists the dates of military activity at the installation, to 1940. The relevant sections and sub-sections of the Chronological Overview are listed to enable the reader to place the installation it its historical context. For example, the Naval Radio Transmitter Facility Chollas Heights installation reports lists two relevant sections within the Overview: (1) MHitary and the Progressive Era, 1890 -1918 (New Technology: Submarine, Aircraft, and Radio) and (2) Inter-war Years, 1918 - 1940 rNar Plans and the Shift to the Pacific). These cross­ references enable the reader to relate the activities at Chollas Heights to the overall military developments during those time periods and to locate comparative information in the relevant sections of Part I of the report, Chronological Overview. 2. Relevant Themes: This section lists the topical themes related to each installation's historical development included in Part II of the report, Theme Studies. For example, the Ft. Monroe installation report lists the themes Technology, with the specific sub-headings of weapons and fortifications, and Education. These cross-references provide background and comparative information on the missions and designs of installations. The themes were drawn from the National Register of Historic Places MAreas of Significance" to facilitate evaluation of the installations' historic significance. 3. Installation Historv and Context: This section provides a narrative summary of the historical development of each installation, with particular emphasis on construction associated with different periods and activities. The summary draws connections between the site-specific history of each installation and broader trends that influenced U.S. military development. Specific buildings related to historical

  • The Annals of Iowa for Their Critiques
    The Annals of Volume 66, Numbers 3 & 4 Iowa Summer/Fall 2007 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue J. L. ANDERSON analyzes the letters written between Civil War soldiers and their farm wives on the home front. In those letters, absent husbands provided advice, but the wives became managers and diplomats who negotiated relationships with kin and neighbors to provision and shelter their families and to preserve their farms. J. L. Anderson is assistant professor of history and assistant director of the Center for Public History at the University of West Georgia. DAVID BRODNAX SR. provides the first detailed description of the role of Iowa’s African American regiment, the 60th United States Colored Infantry, in the American Civil War and in the struggle for black suffrage after the war. David Brodnax Sr. is associate professor of history at Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Illinois. TIMOTHY B. SMITH describes David B. Henderson’s role in securing legislation to preserve Civil War battlefields during the golden age of battlefield preservation in the 1890s. Timothy B. Smith, a veteran of the National Park Service, now teaches at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Front Cover Milton Howard (seated, left) was born in Muscatine County in 1845, kidnapped along with his family in 1852, and sold into slavery in the South. After escaping from his Alabama master during the Civil War, he made his way north and later fought for three years in the 60th U.S. Colored Infantry. For more on Iowa’s African American regiment in the Civil War, see David Brodnax Sr.’s article in this issue.

The science, working meetings and the social events were fantastic, attendance neared recent record highs (1369), and good financial rev- enue will help keep us solvent. My theme on this page throughout the year will be “Make a Difference in Aerospace Medicine with AsMA.” To do that, we need to have a strong and effective organization in place to serve its members in that goal. In order to allow this, I would like to iterate some initiatives to perform with your help. The first initiative is to increase membership. As an in- ternational leader, AsMA speaks with authority and its posi- tions and resolutions are highly regarded. However, we Philip J.

Initially, interviews were conducted with technical training personnel to identify significant student inputs, course content, and training outcome variables. Measures of these variables were formulated on the basis of personnel records and routinely available training documents, znd data were assembled for over 5,000 trainees in 39 initial-skills courses at five Air Force bases. A cross-validation sample consisted of about 1,000 trainees in nine courses. Using formal path analysis (LISREL V computer program), an empirical model of the training process was developed. Although aptitude was one of the best predictors of the quality of student performance, it interacted with a vaiiety of other student input and course content variables in determining training outcomes.
