Other Broadsides 17 Maps 18 Newspapers 18 Periodicals 19 Photos and Illustrations 19 Genealogy 21 Histories of the War of 1812 23 Maryland in the War of 1812 25 This document serves as a guide to the Maryland Center for History and Culture’s library items and archival collections related to the War of 1812. It includes manuscript collections (MS), vertical files (VF), published works, maps, prints, and photographs that may support research on the military, political, civilian, social, and economic dimensions of the war, including the United States’ relations with France and Great Britain in the decade preceding the conflict. The bulk of the manuscript material relates to military operations in the Chesapeake Bay region, Maryland politics, Baltimore- based privateers, and the impact of economic sanctions and the British blockade of the Bay (1813-1814) on Maryland merchants. Many manuscript collections, however, may support research on other theaters of the war and include correspondence between Marylanders and military and political leaders from other regions. Although this inventory includes the most significant manuscript collections and published works related to the War of 1812, it is not comprehensive. Library and archival staff are continually identifying relevant sources in MCHC’s holdings and acquiring new sources that will be added to this inventory. Accordingly, researchers should use this guide as a starting point in their research and a supplement to thorough searches in MCHC’s online library catalog.

  • The Battle of Fallen Timbers and the Treaty of Fort Greeneville
    A Thesis Entitled The Battle of Fallen Timbers and the Treaty of Fort Greeneville: Why Did Anthony Wayne Win Both and Could He Have Lost? By Bryce Dixon Blair Jr. Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for The Master of Liberal Studies ____________________ Advisor: Dr. Alfred Cave ____________________ Committee Member: Dr. Michael Jakobson ____________________ Graduate School The University of Toledo May 2005 Acknowledgements This thesis project would have forever remained an uncompleted enigma without crucial support and assistance from several people. My first and most heartfelt thanks go to my wife, Cherie. She worked even harder as almost a single parent during the long hours of reading, research, and writing that quite often kept me away from the family. She left me alone when I needed privacy and solitude and she prodded me to varying degrees when I needed greater focus and motivation. She has also been my invaluable technical advisor for the art of computer science. Though they are too young to appreciate this now, I thank my two young children, Bryce and Eryn, for accepting an absent Dad at times. They provided me with love and attention and much needed respites from academic pursuits. I thank my parents, Bryce and Eleanor, who have always placed a strong emphasis on intelligence and education by example but have done so without judgement. My mother lent me a copy of James Thom’s Panther In The Sky about a dozen years ago and this helped to rejuvenate my interest in this historical era. Special credit is due my thesis committee: Dr.

  • Town and Country in the Old South : Vicksburg and Warren County, Mississippi, 1770-1860
    TOWN AND COUNTRY IN THE OLD SOUTH: VICKSBURG AND WARREN COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI, 1770-1860 By CHRISTOPHER CHARLES MORRIS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1991 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am pleased to acknowledge the assistance and encouragement of a number of people, and to thank them for their kindness. Sam Hill and Helen Hill gave me a place to stay when I made my first visit to Jackson. At Vicksburg the staff at the Old Court House Museum received me with open arms. Gordon Cotton's and Blanche Terry's knowledge of Warren County history and of the local documents proved invaluable. The staff at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History was always helpful. In particular I want to thank Anne Lipscombe. Alison Beck, of the Barker Texas History Center at the University of Texas, helped me wade through much of the as yet largely uncatalogued Natchez Trace Collection. She brought several important documents to my attention that I never could have found on my own. Several people in Vicksburg and Warren County took an interest in my work and helped me to discover their past. Special thanks go to Dee and John Leigh Hyland for being so forthcoming with their family history. Two other local researchers gave me the benefit of their experience. Clinton Bagley guided me through the records in the Adams County Courthouse in Natchez, and Charles L. Sullivan helped me find my way through the massive Claiborne Collection in the ii Mississippi Department of Archives and history.

Mississippi became a territory of the United States in 1798. On December 10, 1817, Mississippi became the twentieth state admitted to the Union. Counties organized prior to statehood and their organization dates are: Adams (1798), Amite (1809), Claiborne (1802), Franklin (1809), Greene (1811), Hancock (1817), Jackson (1812), Jefferson (1799 as Pickering; renamed “Jefferson” in 1802), Lawrence (1814), Marion (1811), Pike (1815), Warren (1809), Washington (1800), Wayne (1809), and Wilkinson (1802).

  • An Orderly Book from Fort Washington and Fort Hamilton, 1792-1793
    An Orderly Book from Fort Washington and Fort Hamilton, 1792-1793 by David A. Simmons he manuscript collections of the Cincinnati Historical Society contain a Tbound volume entitled "Orderly Book, 1792." It contains the daily orders for the American soldiers stationed at Fort Washington at Cincinnati and Fort Hamilton at the future site of Hamilton. A unique perspective on the Indian Wars of the 1790's is found here. It focuses on the army activity in south- western Ohio between the campaigns of Arthur St. Clair and Anthony Wayne, an important period that has been largely ignored by historians. Two regular army regiments, the 1st and 2nd U.S. Infantry, had accom- panied St. Clair's ill-fated expedition. The strength of the 2nd had been dras- tically reduced in St. Clair's defeat on November 4, 1791,1 but it remained in the Ohio Valley with its sister regiment. These "Shattered, tattered relicks" of St. Clair's army, and the forts they occupied, formed a "western department" that was placed under the command of Brigadier General James Wilkinson.2 A much detailed report of the day-to-day life and activities of these frontier garrisons of 1792 and 93 is found in the orderly book which follows. Since the period covered is through the winter months, a number of the orders are con- cerned with keeping the men supplied with fuel and proper food. Details of drill and fatigues are revealed, and the ever present courts-martial deal with the never ending discipline problems. The orderly book itself was donated to the Historical and Philosophical So- ciety of Ohio in 1891 by Robert Clarke, a renowned Cincinnati publisher.

The collection consists largely of county-level court and government records from Mississippi and Louisiana and deals with such topics as territorial expansion, statehood, trade on the Mississippi River, slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. SCOPE AND CONTENTS: Included are materials that document day-to-day court activities at both original jurisdiction and appellate levels. These consist of judgements, writs of execution, protests, declarations, pleas, proceedings, indictments, and correspondence, etc. Many records of financial transactions requiring legal sanction, such as deeds, bills of sale, articles of agreement, mortgages, loans, leases, bonds, and land surveys, are also present. Probate records, including wills, receipts, accounts, and documents of administration and litigation form a significant portion of the collection. Accompanying the court documents are those that deal with local government and administration in Warren County, Mississippi and other nearby counties. They consist of petitions, allowances for infrastructural development and county expenses, proceedings, orders, appointments and oaths, correspondence, reports, coroner inquests, and records concerning schools, taxes, and elections. The government materials originate initially with various courts, and later with such bodies as the county Board of Police and Board of Supervisors.
