  • The Cavalry at Cowpens: Thinking Inside the Box by Daniel Murphy
    The Cavalry at Cowpens: Thinking Inside the Box By Daniel Murphy Recently I was asked to be the cavalry coordinator for the 225th anniversary reenactment of the Battle of Cowpens. I considered this an honor as for years Cowpens had always held a special significance for me; it was a turning point in the American Revolution, and one that was heavily influenced by the actions of the cavalry. And while I was thinking about how my fellow reenactors and I might carry out the mounted scenario, I began to see a number of wrinkles in the different theories regarding Lieutenant-Colonel William Washington and how he led the American cavalry. No reenactment can ever duplicate the exact movements of a battle and that was never my intent. But there were so many conflicting cavalry assesments in the otherwise excellent works on the battle that I started pouring over primary accounts of veterans, attempting to think “inside the box” and come up with a better understanding of what happened. Now before we go any further let me state right here that I do not hold a candle to the horsemen that took that field 225 years ago! They lived and fought from the saddle 24/7 where I’m lucky to just ride once or twice a week and make an occasional fox hunt or reenactment. Beyond fencing classes I have no formal arms training whatsoever. I personally have never seen modern combat and, like other reenanctors, the only thing I really know about 18th century warfare I either read in a book, heard around a campfire or attempted to recreate at an event.

  • Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ScholarShip Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction: Logistical Nightmare By Adam C. Edmonds May, 2011 Director of Thesis: Lawrence E. Babits, Ph.D. History Department The Confederate States Navy built wooden gunboats throughout the American Civil War. Within Civil War literature, more research and detailed analysis of Confederate States Navy construction focuses on building of ironclad vessels. Wooden gunboat construction is largely ignored. This thesis examines wooden gunboat construction in two different areas of the Confederacy: northeastern North Carolina in Washington and Elizabeth City, and the Mars Bluff Navy Yard in South Carolina. Before presenting two Confederate wooden gunboat construction case studies, a look at Confederate industrial, manufacturing, and transportation infrastructure, from the national perspective, brings into focus the logistical limitations station commanders faced in northeastern North Carolina and at Mars Bluff more clearly. Scattered, yet interdependent, marine manufacturing and ordnance facilities, connected by a suspect transportation network, created a logistical nightmare. Historical investigation into wooden gunboat construction in Washington, Elizabeth City, and Mars Bluff, examines an overlooked Confederate States Navy building program.

  • Historical Archaeology of the American Civil War
    OPEN ACCESS: MCJA Book Reviews Volume 40, 2015 Copyright © 2015 Midwest Archaeological Conference, Inc. All rights reserved. OPEN ACCESS: MCJA Book Reviews Volume 40, 2015 From These Honored Dead: Historical Archaeology of the American Civil War Clarence R. Geier, Douglas S. Scott, and Lawrence E. Babits, Editors. 2014. University Press of Florida, Gaines- ville, Florida. viii+322 pp., 64 figures, 10 tables, 1 appendix, references, index. $39.95 (cloth). Reviewed by Jonathan E. Reyman, Curator of Anthropology, Illinois State Museum, Springfield. Some book covers grab the reader’s attention by the title or a striking graphic; this book cover does both. As the editors cite, the first part of the title—from these honored dead—is taken from Lincoln’s Gettys- burg Address (p. 1). The cover photograph, uncredited but probably taken by Matthew Brady or Alexander Gardner (or another of Brady’s assistants), shows a limber with the dead horse still in harness and the remains of four soldiers, presumably artillerymen, in the foreground. It is a dark photograph, both in tone (the colors of old, dried blood) and content, and it brings to mind, at least for this reviewer, Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address with its phrase, “mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave.” If not in a grave, per se, the battlefield dead lying here, both animal and human, foreshadow much of the content of this book. Fourteen chapters cover battlefields, bivouac areas, camps, and forts and range over a dozen states and territories; alphabetically Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.

Recent studies in historic conflict archaeology have contributed to scholars’ understanding of military sites, specific battles, and sites of sieges and encampments. Archaeological excavations at 18th-century Fort Stanwix in Rome, New York have uncovered a rich assemblage that has facilitated the reconstruction of the fort; however, it is a careful analysis of the artifacts recovered during this process that can help scholars explore the daily lives of the inhabitants at the fort.

  • The Value of Maritime Archaeological Heritage
    THE VALUE OF MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF THE CULTURAL CAPITAL OF SHIPWRECKS IN THE GRAVEYARD OF THE ATLANTIC by Calvin H. Mires April 2014 Director of Dissertation: Dr. Nathan Richards Ph.D. Program in Coastal Resources Management Off the coast of North Carolina’s Outer Banks are the remains of ships spanning hundreds of years of history, architecture, technology, industry, and maritime culture. Potentially more than 2,000 ships have been lost in “The Graveyard of the Atlantic” due to a combination of natural and human factors. These shipwrecks are tangible artifacts to the past and constitute important archaeological resources. They also serve as dramatic links to North Carolina’s historic maritime heritage, helping to establish a sense of identity and place within American history. While those who work, live, or visit the Outer Banks and look out on the Graveyard of the Atlantic today have inherited a maritime heritage as rich and as historic as any in the United States, there is uncertainty regarding how they perceive and value the preservation of maritime heritage resources along the Outer Banks, specifically shipwrecks in the Graveyard of the Atlantic. This dissertation is an exploratory study that combines qualitative and quantitative methodologies from the fields of archaeology, economics, and sociology, by engaging different populations in a series of interviews and surveys. These activities are designed to understand and evaluate the public’s current perceptions and attitudes towards maritime archaeological heritage, to estimate its willingness to pay for preservation of shipwrecks in the Graveyard of the Atlantic, and to provide baseline data for informing future preservation, public outreach, and education efforts.

    NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AMERICAN BATTLEFIELD PROTECTION PROGRAM GRANT AGREEMENT NO. GA‐2255‐09‐015 NAVAL ENGAGEMENTS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY AND 1812 WARS IN MARYLAND BY MARYLAND MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGY PROGRAM MARYLAND HISTORICAL TRUST AND NEW SOUTH ASSOCIATES, INC. FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT VOLUME I – TEXT SEPTEMBER 2013 For future copies: Kristen L. McMasters Government Technical Representative DOI – National Park Service American Battlefield Protection Program 1201 Eye Street NW (2255) 6th floor Washington, DC 20005 This material is based upon work assisted by a grant from the Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Department of the Interior. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Maryland Maritime Archaeology Program (MMAP) wishes to express its appreciation to the American Battlefield Protection Program, especially Kristen McMasters and Paul Hawke, for their guidance, advice and patience as we worked through unfamiliar bureaucratic processes, vast geographic areas, changes in staff, equipment failures, and inclement weather. Evie Cohen, the Maryland Historical Trust’s Chief, Operations Management/Grants Manager, managed all the finances for the project and ensured that fiscal reports were completed and submitted on time; a daunting task for which we are eternally grateful. We would also like to thank former MMAP staff member Brian Jordan for his efforts, early in the project, in crafting and submitting the various work plans requiring approval to begin fieldwork. Like many agencies, MMAP is understaffed and has been operating with only 2/3 of the required personnel. Therefore, the assistance provided by the large number of volunteers, many of them loyal supporters for years, is more than gratefully received, it is critical to the undertaking and completion of most projects.

  • Rationale (Background History)
    Lesson: “Uncovering the Battle of the Cowpens” by John McPherson (Snohomish, WA) Learning Model: Teaching for understanding using the Mystery lesson strategy Thematic Strands Addressed: II. Time, Continuity, Change; III. People, Places, & Environments; IV. Individual Development & Identity; V. Individuals, Groups, & Institutions (NCSS, 2007) Habits of Mind Addressed: Listening with understanding & empathy; thinking flexibly; striving for accuracy; questioning & posing problems; applying past knowledge to new situations; thinking & communicating with clarity & precision; creating, imagining, innovating; thinking interdependently (Costa & Kallick, 2000) Rationale (background history): The Southern Campaign, particularly that in the South Carolina Backcountry, is an often overlooked and ignored chapter in popular histories of the American Revolution, and consequently, school curriculums. For example, Gordon S. Wood’s bestselling mass-market overview of the war, titled The American Revolution: A History (Wood, 2002, p. 87) dedicates one page to the Southern Backcountry fighting that changed the course of the war and made the victory at Yorktown possible. Likewise, the two-year Southern Campaign is allocated six short paragraphs in a popular high school history text, The American Republic: Since 1877 (Appleby, et al, 2005, pp. 85-86, 98), while the brief skirmishes at Lexington & Concord receive a five-paragraph treatment with supporting graphics. This is interesting when one considers that 18% of the American patriots that were killed during the Revolution died in South Carolina and that the Southern Campaign could claim 31% of all patriots wounded during the war. This does not include Tory dead and wounded, either. They were Americans, too (Edgar, 2001, p. 137). The Southern Campaign and its battles should not be overlooked in any unit of study dealing with the American Revolution.
