"The Cavalier tra:_('li tion was as f'irml;y- based in Virginia history as the .stqnes of the Tubal Cain of the Old Dominion, the illustrious Governor SPOTTSWOOD, who opened a passage over the range and started iron mining in the mountains. He had set out with a company of gentlemen, dressed in green v~lvet, himself with a phune in nis hat, and he had taken possession of the Shenandoah Valley in the name of the first King George. ~n order to encourage his companions to venture back and ex:-plore the West, he instituted The Order of the Golden Horseshoe, presenting· them all with horseshoes of gold that were made for him in Lendon.and covered in several cases with :prer::ious stones. "The Soqthern remancers lingered over all these themes --- William Alexander CARRUTHERS was the father of them all, a geni~1 Virginian doctor who lived in Savannah and who first appeared with a novel of letters, The Kentuckian in New York-----, Then CARRUTHERS wrote two romances, The Cavaliers of Virginia and The Knights of the Horseshoe that estahlished the Virginian tradit.ionof the hf'storical novel - one of these ---- while the other deals with Governor SPOTTSWOOD I s adventure that :planted the British standard beyend the Blue Ridge.

The largest temple mound was at one time about 50 feet high. Today the Bottle Creek site is compoGed of six mounds and the largest. is 45 feet high. To the west and north of the mounds was the village. At present little is known about the peOl'>le who inhabited the Bottle Creek site which was occupied from about 1400 A.D. to 1600 A.D. During rec,ent years the mounds and village area htwe been disturbed by logging operations and treasure hunters.

Arguing OriginalIntent in Legislative Debate A significant body of literature has examined how the Framers and rati- fiers of the Constitution 2 subsequently viewed the role of original intent in construing the Constitution. The primary focus of these works is how those views should influence today's courts in deciding controversies. 3 A less de- veloped question, however, is how members of the First Congress employed originalist constitutional arguments in making and debating proposed stat- utes.4 This study seeks to contribute to that exploration, not by discussing what the Founders believed about using originalist arguments, but by examin- ing the record of the First Federalist Congress to determine what originalist 5 arguments its members actually made. 1.

The stock of judicial precedents is rich, accessible, and familiar, but it does not exhaust the relevant materials.

  • John Milledge Letter
    10/18/2014 John Milledge letter John Milledge letter Descriptive Summary Repository: Georgia Historical Society Creator: Milledge, John, 1757-1818. Title: John Milledge letter Dates: 1793 Extent: 0.05 cubic feet (1 folder) Identification: MS 1796 Biographical/Historical Note John Milledge, II (1757-1818) was born in Savannah, Georgia, the only son of John Milledge (1721-1781) and Ann (Smith) Milledge. A prominent lawyer, Milledge sided with the patriots and fought in the Revolutionary War, served as Attorney-General of Georgia in 1780, as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives (1782-1790), as a member of the United States Congress (1792-1801), as Governor of Georgia (1802- 1806), and as a United States Senator (1806- 1809). In 1801, Milledge purchased a 633 acre tract of land for $4,000 and named it "Athens" in honor of Greece's ancient center of culture and learning. He was a key figure in the establishment of the University of Georgia. Not only was he on the committee that decided the location of the institution, but he donated the 633 acre tract of land where the university and the city of Athens now stand. The Georgia state legislature called for the establishment of a town to be named after Milledge in 1803 and one year later Milledgeville became Georgia's fourth capital. Milledgville, located in Baldwin County, served as Georgia's state capital from 1804 until 1868. Milledge resigned his Senate seat in 1809 and returned to Georgia to be with his wife, Martha Galphin Milledge, who was very ill and later died.

  • Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology
    THE WAR OF 1812 MAGAZINE ISSUE 26 December 2016 Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology Compiled by Ralph Eshelman and Donald Hickey Introduction This War of 1812 Chronology includes all the major events related to the conflict beginning with the 1797 Jay Treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation between the United Kingdom and the United States of America and ending with the United States, Weas and Kickapoos signing of a peace treaty at Fort Harrison, Indiana, June 4, 1816. While the chronology includes items such as treaties, embargos and political events, the focus is on military engagements, both land and sea. It is believed this chronology is the most holistic inventory of War of 1812 military engagements ever assembled into a chronological listing. Don Hickey, in his War of 1812 Chronology, comments that chronologies are marred by errors partly because they draw on faulty sources and because secondary and even primary sources are not always dependable.1 For example, opposing commanders might give different dates for a military action, and occasionally the same commander might even present conflicting data. Jerry Roberts in his book on the British raid on Essex, Connecticut, points out that in a copy of Captain Coot’s report in the Admiralty and Secretariat Papers the date given for the raid is off by one day.2 Similarly, during the bombardment of Fort McHenry a British bomb vessel's log entry date is off by one day.3 Hickey points out that reports compiled by officers at sea or in remote parts of the theaters of war seem to be especially prone to ambiguity and error.
