From the defeat of General Edward Braddock and the use of flank companies of riflemen in the French and Indian War, to the use of long rifles against Ferguson and the death of General Simon Fraser in the Revolutionary War at Saratoga, to the War of 1812 when British General Robert Ross was shot on the way to take Baltimore in 1814 and when long rifles were instru- mental at New Orleans in January 1815, up to the modern wars with the use of such arms as the Accuracy International AX338 sniper rifle, sharpshooters have been crucial in the outcome of battles and campaigns. I wish to dedicate this discussion to a true American patriot, Chris Kyle, a much decorated Navy Seal sniper whom we lost in February of this year, having earned two silver and four bronze stars in four tours of service to his country. He stated that he killed the enemy to save the lives of his comrades and his only regret was those that he could not save. He also aided his fellow attackers at bay; harassing target officers and artillerymen disabled veterans for whom he worked tirelessly with his from a long-range; instilling psychological fear and feelings Heroes Project after returning home.

  • “Sharpshooters Made a Grand Record This Day” Combat on the Skirmish Line at Gettysburg on July 3
    “Sharpshooters Made a Grand Record This Day” Combat on the Skirmish Line at Gettysburg on July 3 Timothy J. Orr On the morning of July 3, 1863, Corporal Eugene B. Kelleran, a soldier in Company I, 20th Maine Infantry, descended the slopes of Big Round Top, a rocky eminence where his regiment had spent the previous evening. Near dark on July 2, the fatigued Maine regiment scaled the wooded heights, drove off an enemy brigade, and took possession of the summit. As per standard procedure, the 20th Maine’s commander, Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, deployed skirmishers to determine the layout of the Confederate line and to make certain that his regiment truly held the hill. Midway down the southwestern slope, Kelleran and his comrades collided with skirmishers from Colonel James Sheffield’s Alabama brigade. A short fight ensued, lasting only a few minutes. The Maine regiment lost Lieutenant Arad Linscott, who had seized an abandoned musket so he could get a shot at the gray-coats himself. A ball struck Linscott in the thigh, and he died several hours later at the Jacob Weikert farm.1 During this engagement, a Confederate skirmisher kneeling behind a rock took aim at Corporal Kelleran, who also lowered his own rifle and fired. Kelleran got off his shot, which passed through the Alabamian’s mouth and came out the back of his head. When the shooting subsided, Kelleran went to the blood-spattered boulder and noticed that the man’s hat had been left untouched by both the bullet and the resulting gore. Kelleran had long wanted a new hat, so he took this one from his fallen adversary.

  • The Advent of the Spanish-American War in Florida, 1898
    THE ADVENT OF THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR IN FLORIDA, 1898 by WILLIAM J. SCHELLINGS N FEBRUARY 1, 1898, the Jacksonville Times Union and Citizen angrily denounced General Nelson Miles for what it termed an attempt to waste the taxpayers’ money. Miles had appeared before a Congressional committee with a plea for funds with which to build fortifications around Washington. The Jack- sonville editor declared that there was “no war in sight,” and that the money might better be spent on the construction of an intra- coastal waterway, a project already looming large in the minds of many Floridians. His denial of any need for defenses was merely another manner of expressing his stubborn opposition to anything that might encourage people to think that war with Spain might result from the Cuban crisis. His attitude on this matter was the same as that of other Florida editors, all of whom believed that war would be harmful to Florida’s future. 1 In the short period of one month it was evident that his attitude had changed. On March 2 the same paper published another editorial on the same subject, the need for coastal forti- fications. This time the editor pointed out that all of Florida’s cities were completely defenseless, and that all of them depended to a large degree on their trade with other ports for their liveli- hood. He also pointed out that in the event of war with Spain, these same cities would be more exposed to attack than any others, simply because of the fact that they were so close to Cuba.
