  • BATTLE of KETTLE CREEK Remarks of Judge Ed Butler, Secretary General, NSSAR, Principal Speaker, Kettle Creek Battle Ceremonies, at the Pope Center on Feb
    BATTLE OF KETTLE CREEK Remarks of Judge Ed Butler, Secretary General, NSSAR, principal speaker, Kettle Creek Battle ceremonies, at the Pope Center on Feb. 14, 2009, in Washington, GA. President Towns, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. We are here today to honor the memory of the Georgia patriots who fought near here 230 years ago today. Through their courage and determination, they defeated an army with over twice as many men under arms. The Battle of Kettle Creek was the most important battle of the American Revolutionary War to be fought in Georgia. The battle was fought on February 14, 1779, near this location at Battle Hill. The victory by the American Patriot Militia virtually ended the movement to remain loyal to the England among Georgians. Loyalist and neutral Georgians were no longer vocal opponents. The Patriot force that engaged a larger Tory Militia force was led by Colonels Andrew Pickens, who later was promoted to General; John Dooly, who was later murdered by British regulars; and Elijah Clarke, who was also later promoted to General. Andrew Pickens lead his own force of 200 militiamen and was joined by the force of100- 140 militiamen led by John Dooly. Together, these 300-340 men launched a surprise attack on the Tory force of 700 men led by Colonel James Boyd. Pickens' force circled and followed the Tory force without their knowledge until he launched the surprise attack on February 14, 1779. The encamped Tories were not wholly surprised, as their pickets fired upon approaching Patriot scouts. Thereafter, a fierce battle ensued and Tory leader James Boyd was killed.

  • Georgia Government 1 (PDF)
    Georgia Government Summary Dr. Sarah Kuck and Mr. Roger Marietta Introduction Georgia’s state government was formed in 1776, and since that time the State Constitution has been rewritten 10 times and amended hundreds of times. To amend the Georgia Constitution today, both houses of the Georgia General Assembly must pass the proposed Constitutional amendment by a two-thirds vote. The amendment ratification is voted on by the people in the next general election, and a majority of the voters must approve. Georgia’s state government and its politics have been shaped by its history. 2011 is the sesquicentennial of the beginning of the Civil War. President Lincoln and General Sherman, as hated Republicans, left a simmering anger as the Civil War and slavery came to an end. The Democratic Party dominated Georgia politics until the period after the Civil War known as Reconstruction. Reconstruction brought the freed slaves into the political process as Republicans, and they gained many elected offices from 1865 until 1877. When the Posse Comitatus Act was passed by Congress and Federal troops could no longer enforce state and local laws, the political winds shifted. From 1877 until 1954, “Jim Crow” laws enforced segregation in Georgia while the Democrats dominated the politics of Georgia under the banner of “state rights”. Many Caucasian voters in Georgia were “Yellow Dog” Democrats – they would vote Democrat even if the candidate was a yellow dog. With the Supreme Court’s reversal of Plessy v Ferguson as a result of Brown v Board of Education of Topeka Kansas, coupled with the emergence of Dr.

    2012.3.3 “I Remember Hour” The DeKalb History Center James Venable May 28, 1982 JAMES MACKAY, Interviewer: All right, today is August the 28th, 1982, and we are videotaping a very well-known and outstanding lawyer in our county for the records of the DeKalb Historical Society. Mr. Howard Worley, who is making this tape for us [sic]. Now, we have one hour, and I’m going to present to you here Mr. Jimmy Venable, and I want him to range over his whole life and times here in the county. And I think a good beginning point is that since this county is just 160 years old and everybody except the native Indians has come into this county, tell me something about the background of your family, Mr. Venable, and how they happened to come to DeKalb County and where you were born and that sort of thing. JAMES VENABLE: Well, my ancestors settled in Richmond, Virginia, in 1683. Captain John Venable and Abram Venable played a very prominent part in the Revolution, the war between England and the colonies. And I had a great-great uncle who was a professor who taught Greek in the University of Virginia, and during the Revolutionary War my ancestors conscripted the ox teams and the neighbors there to aid the colonies during the bloody conflict, and after the revolution had ceased the war, they were sued, and Patrick Henry defended them in the lawsuit and won it. A few years thereafter, five of them settled over in Jefferson, Georgia. In 1842 James Venable, whom I’m named after, was the first man in the world to submit himself as a guinea pig for Dr.

Please submit comments about the newsletter or items for inclusion to Liz Rank. For more information on the USFLN, please visit http://www.tncfire.org/training_usfln.htm or contact Lynn Decker. News: Jemez Tour / Burning Red Cedar / FLN at Conferences The Jemez Climate Change Adaptation Project is part of a week-long international climate exchange study tour taking place this week. The tour, co-sponsored by the Forest Service, Comision Nacional de Areas Naturales Protegidas and the Fonda Mexicano para la Conservación de la Naturaleza, will allow managers from the US and Mexico to share strategies and lessons learned in their respective protected areas. The Jemez portion of the tour will include discussion of restoration on a large scale, and a visit to a carbon flux monitoring tower. In his weekly “Friday message” (attached), Nebraska State Conservationist Steve Chick gave kudos to Middle Niobrara Coordinating Wildlife Biologist Sandy Benson for coordinating a series of successful prescribed burns to manage red cedar. As is the case with much of the Great Plains FLN’s work, volunteer fire departments and private landowners were key partners. Marek Smith is on the program of the Southern Appalachian Man & the Biosphere (SAMAB) conference being held in Gatlinburg, TN on November 16-18. The conference will focus on climate change and on-the-ground means for addressing it in the southern Appalachians. Marek will discuss the work of both the Appalachian and Southern Blue Ridge FLNs.
