RECORD OF THE ORGANIZATIONS ENGAGED IN THE CAMPAIGN, SIEGE, AND DEFENSE OF VICKSBURG. COMPILED FROM THE OFFICIAL RECORDS BY jomsr s. KOUNTZ, SECRETARY AND HISTORIAN OF THE COMMISSION. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1901. PREFACE. The Vicksburg campaign opened March 29, 1863, with General Grant's order for the advance of General Osterhaus' division from Millikens Bend, and closed July 4^, 1863, with the surrender of Pem- berton's army and the city of Vicksburg. Its course was determined by General Grant's plan of campaign. This plan contemplated the march of his active army from Millikens Bend, La. , to a point on the river below Vicksburg, the running of the batteries at Vicksburg by a sufficient number of gunboats and transports, and the transfer of his army to the Mississippi side. These points were successfully accomplished and, May 1, the first battle of the campaign was fought near Port Gibson. Up to this time General Grant had contemplated the probability of uniting the army of General Banks with his. He then decided not to await the arrival of Banks, but to make the cam paign with his own army. May 12, at Raymond, Logan's division of Grant's army, with Crocker's division in reserve, was engaged with Gregg's brigade of Pemberton's army. Gregg was largely outnum bered and, after a stout fight, fell back to Jackson. The same day the left of Grant's army, under McClernand, skirmished at Fourteen- mile Creek with the cavalry and mounted infantry of Pemberton's army, supported by Bowen's division and two brigades of Loring's division.

Follow this and additional works at: http://digitalcommons.buffalostate.edu/history_theses Part of the United States History Commons Abstract The Professionalization of the American Army through the War of 1812 The American military tradition stretches back to the militia of England. The English colonists brought a tradition of militia service and a fear of standing armies to America. Once in America, the colonies formed their own militias, using them for defense and then later for offensive operations. At the time of the American Revolution the American colonies had to combine the militia with an army. The fear of a standing army hindered the Continental Army, and then later the American Army, from being an effective force.

  • 'Yn Eu Hiaith Eu Hunain' / 'In Their Own Language'
    ‘YN EU HIAITH EU HUNAIN’ / ‘IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE’: THE SETTLEMENT AND ASSIMILATION OF THE WELSH IN IOWA COUNTY, WISCONSIN, 1840-1920 Robert Humphries Submitted to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Wales Trinity Saint David, Lampeter 2012 i ABSTRACT Attracted by opportunities in lead mining and agriculture, the Welsh established a small but influential ethnic community in Iowa County, Wisconsin, in the mid-nineteenth century. However, it is a community that has so far escaped detailed historical study. This dissertation examines the settlement and assimilation of the Welsh between their arrival in the 1840s and the ethnic community’s effective dissipation in the early twentieth century. As Calvinistic Protestants from Britain, they were culturally similar to native- born Americans and other British immigrants. More than any other factor, it was the Welsh language that distinguished them from their neighbours and compelled them to settle close to each other and worship in their own congregations. Therefore this dissertation not only traces the development of the Welsh ethnic community, but also examines the role of language in shaping this process as well as how the immigrants’ perception of their native tongue changed. Although the Welsh went through a process of ‘ethnicization’ that reinforced their distinctive cultural identity, they also embraced mainstream American political and economic values. Indeed, the Welsh projected a public image of themselves as obedient citizens and were eager to assimilate. Rooted in beliefs they brought with them from Wales, these attitudes, as well as demographic change, contributed to the decline of Welsh linguistic and cultural identity in Iowa County in the early twentieth century.

  • Walsh/Welsh & Flanagan Family History
    WALSH/WELSH & FLANAGAN FAMILY HISTORY Written by Kaila A. Welsh-Lamp [email protected] and William Bauman [email protected] MAY 2018 1 WALSH FAMILY HISTORY FRONTISPIECE Dargen The above map portion was taken from an undated Washington County, Maryland road map distributed Courtesy of DELPHEY’S, Hagerstown, Md. Readers will see Antietam, Moler Crossroads, Dargan, Bakerton and Harper’s Ferry (pop. 822) which are part of this story. 2 WALSH FAMILY HISTORY PREFACE This WALSH FAMILY HISTORY was built upon the family records compiled by Kaila A. Welsh-Lamp. Her collection forms the basic structure of this family history. An effort was undertaken to verify and amplify the family history as regards their involvement with the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. Of course, if another person has the interest and resources to develop this family history before or after their Chesapeake and Ohio Canal days, that information would be welcome. A family history may have many authors. All photographs are from the Kaila A. Walsh-Lamp Collection, unless otherwise footnoted. Readers are encouraged to visit the family website: www.welshofharpersferry.com for additional information. The table of vital statistics for the two families at the end of this Report was initially built from the Kaila A. Walsh-Lamp Collection. The interchangeable use of the surname Walsh or Welsh occurs in the historical data. We will need to search for both. When obituaries, wills, family bibles, birth announcements, obituaries or tombstones were found, the data was refined. Thus, the data in the table is believed to be the most accurate. We hope the readers will find the story interesting and contact either of us with additional information or corrections.

He has sought, chiefly, to bring to notice those matters which have escaped the attention of former writers. In doing this, his labors have been greatly augmented by the loss of the Public Records of the county, and the destruction of private papers, in the great fire of July 30th, 1864. He trusts, however, that he has brought together many things connected with the Past, that cannot fail to interest the general reader ; and in the 7c] Lists of C jngressional, Judicial and other Public Oflicers of , 3t times, he believes the people will find a Record both iful and interesting.
