THE CONTINENTAL ARMY SERIES ….Odds and Ends by Wm. Thomas Sherman Gun Jones Publishing, Seattle, Washington Wm.

[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] website: http://www.gunjones.com Lee’s Legion on Face Book: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LeesLegion/ Last updated: 20 Sept. 2021 For The Continental Army Series vol. I, see: https://archive.org/details/TheContinentalArmySeriesRealityAndAspirationInTheAmerican ~or~ http://www.scribd.com/doc/94480242/THE-CONTINENTAL-ARMY-SERIES-Reality-and-Aspiration-in-the- Am-Revy-Era For The Continental Army Series vol. II, see: https://archive.org/details/Vol2ContinentalArmySeries ~or~ http://www.scribd.com/doc/136892381/Vol-II-THE-CONTINENTAL-ARMY-SERIES-Reality-and-Aspiration- in-the-American-Revolutionary-Era 2 The purpose of the work before you is to serve as a compendium of postings from the Face Book Lee’s Legion page and that appeared subsequent to the second volume of the Continental Army Series. To that extent, it can be characterized as a more or less random miscellany of articles and short pieces; with relatively little or no design of making the whole a formal addition to the present two volume Continental Army Series. To be brief, the reason for my doing so is simply one of convenience and that allows me to add new articles over time and at my leisure; without having to follow a pre-set plan or set a necessary limit to the quantity of entries that might be included; unlike volumes one and two of the original Continental Army series where there was a definite intent of endeavoring to cover most of the major literary genres of 18th and early 19th century America, as well as along the way throwing in a number of desultory items which directly or indirectly related to those same spans of history and that readers might also find of added interest or amusement. Here instead I have permitted myself to be even more open ended and include whatever happened to suited me at the time of writing a given entry; so that what turns out as the over all final result cannot be guessed until the time comes, whenever that time may be, when I am finally done.

But this is no more than what was common, in some degree, to his contemporaries. Before the grand Rebellion, these books were in all hands; and were the source from which young readers especially, in the age of fiction and fancy, nourished the sublime.” ~ Thomas Warton, Observations on the Faerie Queene of Spenser (1754), vol. I, Sec. V. If what Warton states is correct, it seems then reasonable to surmise that had Milton grown up in mid to late 19th century America he might had fed his fondness for romance with Dime Novels. A week or so ago, I discovered the Beadle and Adams Dime Novel Online Digitization Project by Northern Illinois University; regarding which, see: http://www.ulib.niu.edu/badndp/bibindex.html http://www.ulib.niu.edu/badndp/contents2.html The Beadle and Adams Dime novels and miscellaneous other children and young people’s volumes ran from 1851 to 1879, and the assortment and quantity of the firm’s output is tantalizingly impressive; covering topics and genres as diverse as the Revolutionary War, the Wild West, Sea Stories, American History generally, fairy tales, re-tellings of literary classics. They also published songbooks and manuals on how to play games, such as baseball. If you like nostalgia or are curious about Dime novels, the Beadle and Adams Dime Novel Online Digitization Project is great, and fun, place to browse. It was a separate company, however, that put out the “Liberty Boys of 76,” respecting which one author-historian (quoted at a different website) explains: “There were about 100 of these Liberty Boys, who, suffering casualties, were always able to fill up their ranks with new recruits, though the latter had to pass a rigid test. Dick Slater was captain of the band and knew that the effectiveness of such a small force lay in its mobility and quick striking power. Mostly they served as infantry, like the regulars of the Continental Line, but occasionally they appeared as cavalrymen or mounted infantry, and Captain Slater always rode a black charger named Major.” ~~~~~~*******~~~~~~ AN ANECDOTE ABOUT CHARLES LEE As found in “Men and Events of the Revolution: Memoranda of Judge Richard Peters relating to the events that occurred during the Revolutionary War;” see The American Historical Record, May 1873, vol. 2, no. 7, pp. 223-224; edited by Benson J Lossing, and available at: https://archive.org/details/pottersamericanm02lossuoft [Judge Richard Peters:] “Of the illustrious General Greene, I hope we shall have a more respectable biography, than any I have seen. I loved, admired and valued him next to our immortal Chief. The worthy but minor characters comparatively I highly esteemed, but any very prominent exploits of their exhibition, have escaped my memory, tho’ I knew they faithfully performed their duty. Of my friend General Lee,1 too much cannot be said of his military merits. The world envious of superior merits, view private peccadillos, to gratify invidious consciousness of inferiority. I lamented the shades, but did not forget the sunny side of his character. 1 [Edit. Note.] In the original text, Peters or an American Historical Record editor specifically states that the “General Lee” in question is Henry Lee. However, I have since been informed by Continental Army historian John U. Rees that it would seem rather that the “General” referred to is Charles Lee; based on accounts that it was he who tried to unsuccessfully introduce regimental colors. 7 “General Lee tried experiments with us to undertake the training and maneuvering of troops, by means of regimental standards, grand division colors and signal flags. The bearers of these were as raw as ourselves, and the scheme failed entirely.

August 2013 ABSTRACT From the late 1970s on, as competition intensified, British broadcasters searched for new ways to cover the escalating budgets for top-end drama. A common industry practice, overseas co-productions seems the fitting answer for most broadcasters; for the BBC, however, creating programmes that appeal to both national and international markets could mean being in conflict with its public service ethos. Paradoxes will always be at the heart of an institution that, while pressured to be profitable, also carries a deep-rooted disapproval of commercialism.
