Us Marines Usmc Go to Master Index of Warfare GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE A PAIR OF MEAT GRINDERS The United States Marine Corps amounts to a pair of relentless meat grinders. One is militaristic and relentlessly transforms enemy combatants into Soylent Green while relentlessly transforming generations of young Americans into Soylent Green Plus. The other is propagandistic and relentlessly manufactures happy-face images of discipline, pride, honor, and sacrifice — Toys-For-Tots drives, flag-draped caskets, Dress Blues parades with military bands, Taps, the Regimental colors, the ribbons and medals, “The Marine Corps builds ... Men,” what have you. These two apparatuses operate simultaneously and in exquisite coordination: don’t even think about getting in the way. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE US MARINES USMC GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE 1537 The oldest Marine Corp in the world, the Spanish Marines, originated in this year to take part in the conquest of America. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE US MARINES USMC GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE 1775 November 5, Sunday: The Continental Congress appointed Esek Hopkins of Rhode Island as Commodore of the Continental Navy, and Samuel Nicholas as Captain of Marines. CONTINETAL CONGRESS HDT WHAT? INDEX THE US MARINES USMC GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE November 10, Friday: On about this day, William Bartram departed Baton Rouge. The Continental Congress authorized the raising of 2 battalions of Marines. GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE That two battalions of Marines be raised consisting of one Colonel, two Lieutenant-Colonels, two Majors, and other officers, as usual in other regiments; that they consist of an equal number of Privates with other battalions; that particular care be taken that no persons be appointed to offices, or enlisted into said battalions, but such as are good seamen, or so acquainted with maritime affairs as to be able to serve by sea when required; that they be enlisted and commissioned to serve for and during the present war with Great Britain and the Colonies, unless dismissed by order of Congress; that they be distinguished by the names of the First and Second Battalion of Marines. November 28, Tuesday: Samuel Nicholas received his written confirmation, that he had been commissioned as Captain of Marines. Soon he would set up the 1st recruiting headquarters, in Philadelphia’s Tun Tavern. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE US MARINES USMC GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE 1776 March 2, Saturday: Esek Hopkins’s fleet seized 2 sloops, and put a landing party of 200 Marines and 50 sailors aboard them (remember, folks, the Ten Commandments only apply during times of peace and prosperity). HDT WHAT? INDEX THE US MARINES USMC GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE March 3, Sunday: At mid morning, under the cover of the cannons of the Providence and the Wasp, 234 American Marines and sailors made their 1st amphibious landing, going ashore on the eastern end of New Providence under the command of Captain Nicholas. This painting is by V. Zveg, who obviously knows a whole lot about painting, or about photographic realism, or about playing with action figures or something: (It remains unclear how 2 sloops could have put ashore 5 longboats. Perhaps 2 longboats are being portrayed while making multiple trips? Whatever.) The landing was unopposed and the force advanced toward Fort Montagne. The defenders of the fort took them under fire, then spiked their guns and retreated to Fort Nassau. GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE HDT WHAT? INDEX THE US MARINES USMC GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE Meanwhile, on the coast of the continent, a fleet of 7 British ships and 200 Redcoats had sailed up the Savannah River with the possible intention of retaking Savannah or merely stealing some rice. Lachlan McIntosh ordered the militia to fire upon the British and burn the merchant ships lying in the river. The British escaped with 14 boatloads of rice. The incident would come to be known as the Battle of the Rice Boats. April 6, Saturday: About 1:00 in the morning Andrew Doria, aboard one of the vessels of the American squadron, sighted HMS Glasgow, a 20-gun sloop carrying dispatches from Newport to Charleston. The American squadron engaged this enemy ship for an hour and a half before it turned back toward the safety of Newport harbor in Rhode Island. After the break of day the American ships needed to give up their chase. The Continental Congress opened all ports in the 13 colonies to ships of all nations except Great Britain. AMERICAN REVOLUTION HDT WHAT? INDEX THE US MARINES USMC GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE June 25, Tuesday: The Continental Congress placed Captain Samuel Nicholas “at the head of the Marines with the rank of Major,” and instructed Commodore Esek Hopkins to send him to Philadelphia with their dispatches. When he arrived they had him report to their Marine Committee, which detached him from the brigantine USS Alfred and ordered him to remain in Philadelphia “to discipline four companies of Marines and prepare them for service as Marine guards for the frigates on the stocks.” After recruiting and organizing these companies he would request that the Continental Congress provide them with arms and equipment. Concord budgeted for 6 months of the services at Ticonderoga of 48 local soldiers at £432 each, over and above an incentive advance of £9. 1 TABLE OF REVOLUTIONARY CAMPAIGNS WHEN REQUIRED MEN TIME WHERE EMPLOYED BOUNTY AMOUNT June 1776 19 12 months New York 10 190 June 25, 1776 48 6 months Ticonderoga 9 432 Dr. John Cuming was appointed Commander in this [the above] expedition, but declined.

Roger Grant, Committee Chair C. Alan Grubb Orville V. Burton ABSTRACT Founded as a quasi-utopian society by New England evangelists, Oberlin became the central hub of extreme social reform in Ohio’s Western Reserve. Scholars have looked at Oberlin from political and cultural perspectives, but have placed little emphasis on religion. That is to say, although religion is a major highlight of secondary scholarship, few have placed the community appropriately in the dynamic of the East and West social reform movement. Historians have often ignored, or glossed over this important element and how it represented the divergence between traditional orthodoxy in New England and Middle-Atlantic states, and the new religious hybrids found in the West.

Moreover, indexes to each volume were kept by handwritten notation, in both pencil and ink, seldom in alphabetical order, and with numerous addenda and instances of inserted or corrected text. Researchers should exercise special and unusual latitude in an attempt to gather all the citations for a specific name. There are a number of variant patterns, but the most consistent apply to abbreviated versions of the name of the same person. "Cunningham, ~riggs"may be the same as "Cunningham, B." I,Dann, H. E ." may be the same as "Dann, H. H." (due to blurred or illegible handwriting). "Campbell, E. P." may be the same as "Campbell, President" (or Senator, Governor, Secretary, etc.). In many cases the index has knowingly been recreated literally from the original volume indexes with the mistakes intact to avoid an even more confusing, erroneous and unconfirmable interpretation.

    THE SECOND RAID ON HARPERS FERRY, JULY 29, 1899: THE OTHER BODIES THAT LAY A'MOULDERING IN THEIR GRAVES Gordon L. Iseminger University of North Dakota he first raid on Harpers Ferry, launched by John Brown and twenty-one men on October 16, 1859, ended in failure. The sec- ond raid on Harpers Ferry, a signal success and the subject of this article, was carried out by three men on July 29, 1899.' Many people have heard of the first raid and are aware of its significance in our nation's history. Perhaps as many are familiar with the words and tune of "John Brown's Body," the song that became popular in the North shortly after Brown was hanged in 1859 and that memorialized him as a martyr for the abolitionist cause. Few people have heard about the second raid on Harpers Ferry. Nor do many know why the raid was carried out, and why it, too, reflects significantly on American history. Bordering Virginia, where Harpers Ferry was located, Pennsylvania and Maryland figured in both the first and second raids. The abolitionist movement was strong in Pennsylvania, and Brown had many supporters among its members.
