We can never fully portray a Civil War soldier's misery until we suffer dysentery in lieu of a porta potty and toilet paper, and scratch graybacks as we skim maggots from a hardtack and coffee mix. We shouldn't however roll in the mud like children to “get ready” for an event. Why ever would a real soldier have done this? He wouldn't. Would they get dirty, yes. Would many of them wash off what they could, when they could? Yes.

Jim will reinvigorate each of us in a program titled, Southern Heritage Explained. Jim will remind us of our rich Southern heritage and culture. You will be enlightened, enriched and entertained. COMMANDERS CORNER TERRY HUGHEY What next? What do we do now? Will it ever stop? I want each of us to think of our current struggle to preserve our Confederate soldier’s good name, as well as our southern virtues and culture, along with our Christian faith as a 15 round world championship title bout. The first round, summer of 2015, we were knocked down hard. Yes, we were staggered as the blow was an unexpected mass murder perpetrated by a mad man which resulted in what has to be as the most perfect media storm ever seen. As we strive to fight back into round 2, and tried to regain our composure we were struck several more times to our chin, our stomach and several illegal blows to our groin. Our own corner tried to throw in the towel, as they abandoned us in the fight of the Century. Yes, we have made it to round 2 and have thrown some punches of our own. Our first punch landed on Saturday, August 29 with a 80 vehicle flag caravan around Columbia two times.

  • American Battlefield Protection Program 2018 Grant Awards
    American Battlefield Protection Program 2018 Grant Awards The NPS’s American Battlefield Protection Program is pleased to award 20 grants totaling $1.043 million to assist in the preservation and protection of America's significant battlefield lands. The funds will support a variety of projects at battlefield sites in 13 states. This year's grants provide funding for projects at endangered battlefields from the Second Seminole War, Indian Wars, Revolutionary War, Pequot War, World War II, and the Civil War. Funded projects include archeology, mapping, cultural resource survey work, documentation, planning, education, and interpretation. The American Battlefield Protection Program funds projects conducted by federal, state, local, and tribal governments, nonprofit organizations, and educational institutions. The ABPP’s mission is to safeguard and preserve significant American battlefield lands for present and future generations as symbols of individual sacrifice and national heritage. Since 1990, the ABPP and its partners have helped to protect and enhance more than 100 battlefields by co-sponsoring 600 projects in 42 states and territories. Brief descriptions of each grant project follow, listed by grant recipient. (Note: states indicate location of grant project.) Pechanga Band of Luiseno Mission Indians California $39,000.00 This project will research and document the 1846 Temecula Massacre to develop a historical foundation for long-range battlefield preservation planning. The Temecula Massacre was the direct result of the Battle of San Pasqual, the bloodiest conflict in California during the Mexican-American War. The ambush encounter along a narrow canyon and creek bed resulted in the killing of reportedly 100 Luiseño/Temecula Indians.

  • Disorderly Eating in Victorian England by Suzanne Samples a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University
    Disorderly Eating in Victorian England by Suzanne Samples A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 3, 2013 Keywords: Victorian, Disorderly, Anorexia Nervosa, Vegetarian, Vivisection, Foucault Copyright 2013 by Suzanne Samples Approved by Alicia Carroll, Chair, Associate Professor of English Christopher Keirstead, Associate Professor of English Jonathan Bolton, Professor of English Onikia Brown, Assistant Professor of Nutrition, Dietetics, and Hospitality Management Abstract This dissertation investigates the gendered spaces of eating and consumption in Victorian England. In the nineteenth century, Dr. William Gull introduced the medical diagnosis of “anorexia nervosa,” which spawned a discourse of normalized and disorderly eating that strongly influenced the alimentary habits of Victorian citizens and literary characters. As viewed through the post-structuralist theories of Michel Foucault, this dissertation examines how techniques like observation and surveillance granted power and control in the realm of appetite. Works analyzed include Tennyson’s “The Charge of the Light Brigade”; Rossetti’s “Goblin Market” and “In An Artist’s Studio”; Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland; Mary Seacole’s Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands; and, Trollope’s Orley Farm. Analyses of Victorian ephemera, including military journals, cookbooks, and advertisements are also included to show how the Victorian appetite shaped the literature of the time period. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my parents, Ted and Jenifer Samples, and my grandmother, Doris Jo Childers, for their support as I wrote and revised and rewrote this dissertation countless times. I am eternally grateful to my husband, Kevin Blicker, and my sister, Sarah Samples, who convinced me put the computer down every now and then to have some fun.
