The Moore Family1 the First Moore We Are Sure About Was John Moore G9
Chapter 1 The Moore Family1 The first Moore we are sure about was John Moore G9. (See Charts 3) His father almost certainly was William Moore G10, who received a patent for 300 acres on a branch of the Nansemond River in Virginia on the 6 of December 1652. The records of the Isle of Wight show that in 1667, William Smelley patented land on the western branch of the Nansemond River adjoining John Moore. In 1668. Thomas Cullen also is listed as patented 400 acres adjoining John Moore in the Upper Parish of Nansemond Co. The property being referred to must certainly be the same as that patented by William Moore in 1652. The fact that John Moore owned property on the Nansemond River makes the likelihood very high that William was John’s father. I believe it is also significant that a William Moore (More) was a member of the Virginia Company of London.2 He is one of the signers of the May 23,1609 Second Charter. Many of those members sailed to Virginia to become planters; some, however, were only investors. There is no evidence that William Moore of London ever came to America. Nothing is really known about either William Moore of London or the one who patented land in 1652 beyond what is described above. It is plausible that the William Moore who was a member of the Virginia Company of London was father to William Moore (G10) who patented land in 1652. Members bought shares hoping to earn profits but also possibly land. -

James Longstreet and His Staff of the First Corps
Papers of the 2017 Gettysburg National Military Park Seminar The Best Staff Officers in the Army- James Longstreet and His Staff of the First Corps Karlton Smith Lt. Gen. James Longstreet had the best staff in the Army of Northern Virginia and, arguably, the best staff on either side during the Civil War. This circumstance would help to make Longstreet the best corps commander on either side. A bold statement indeed, but simple to justify. James Longstreet had a discriminating eye for talent, was quick to recognize the abilities of a soldier and fellow officer in whom he could trust to complete their assigned duties, no matter the risk. It was his skill, and that of the officers he gathered around him, which made his command of the First Corps- HIS corps- significantly successful. The Confederate States Congress approved the organization of army corps in October 1862, the law approving that corps commanders were to hold the rank of lieutenant general. President Jefferson Davis General James Longstreet in 1862. requested that Gen. Robert E. Lee provide (Museum of the Confederacy) recommendations for the Confederate army’s lieutenant generals. Lee confined his remarks to his Army of Northern Virginia: “I can confidently recommend Generals Longstreet and Jackson in this army,” Lee responded, with no elaboration on Longstreet’s abilities. He did, however, add a few lines justifying his recommendation of Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson as a corps commander.1 When the promotion list was published, Longstreet ranked as the senior lieutenant general in the Confederate army with a date of rank of October 9, 1862. -

Mahan at West Point, “Gallic Bias,” and the “Old Army”: the Subconscious of Leadership at Gettysburg
Mahan at West Point, “Gallic Bias,” and the “Old Army”: The Subconscious of Leadership at Gettysburg Michael Phipps “In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield. But in the evening of my memory, always I come back to West Point.” Douglas MacArthur “…Napoleon stands unrivalled.” Dennis Hart Mahan “God and the soldier we like adore, In time of danger, not before. The danger past and all things righted, God is forgotten, the soldier slighted.” Thomas Jordan 1 Introduction What follows is not a discussion of the direct results of leadership on the Battle of Gettysburg. That subject is one of the most widely and deeply covered in all of American and world history. This paper is rather an examination of the subtle impact on the battle caused by the background of the highest-ranking leaders on the field. In a sense, it is a look at the subconscious of the leadership on the field. The Battle of Gettysburg, and with it the entire American Civil War, was in one sense, not a fight between slave and free, states’ rights and central federal, industrial and agrarian, north and south, “Johnny Reb” and “Billy Yank,” or the overdone cliché “brother against brother.” Rather, it was a fight at the highest command level between men with virtually identical backgrounds. That background consisted of four or five years attending the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. There at least a year was spent in the classroom of Dennis Hart Mahan, Professor of Civil and Military Engineering and the Art (or Science) of War. -
Hispanic Confederate Heritage
HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH HISPANICS IN GRAY AND BLUE This fact sheet is prepared by the Education Committee of the Sons of Confederate Veterans for distribution by its members to professors, teachers, librarians, principals, superintendents, ethnic leaders, city officials, members of the press, and other groups interested in promoting an understanding of Hispanic contributions to United States history. The SCV hopes this information will enrich the celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. This sheet may be freely copied and distributed without permission or notice; if republished in part or whole, please credit the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Confederate: • The Cuban patriot Narciso López approached Mexican War heroes Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee in 1848 with the request to head a liberation army to free Cuba from Spain -- Lee seriously considered the offer, but turned it down. • José Agustín Quintero, a Cuban poet and revolutionary, ably served Confederate President Jefferson Davis as the C.S. Commissioner to Northern Mexico, ensuring critical supplies from Europe flowed through Mexican ports to the CSA. • Santiago Vidaurri, governor of the border states of Coahuila and Nuevo León, offered to secede northern Mexico and join the Confederacy; Jefferson Davis declined, afraid the valuable "neutral" Mexican ports would be then blockaded. • The Spanish inventor Narciso Monturiol offered the Confederacy his advanced submarine Ictineo to smash the Federal blockade. Never purchased, Jules Verne apparently based the Nautilus on this, the world's most advanced vessel of the day. • Ambrosio José González, a famous Cuban revolutionary, served Confederate general P.G.T. Beauregard as his artillery officer in Charleston; earlier, in New York, he helped design the modern Cuban and (inversed) Puerto Rican flags. -
