Ottawa, ON KIP IAI OCTOBER 1996 ARGONAUTA RESEARCH DIRECTORY ARGONAUTA RESEARCH DIRECTORY INTRODUCTION This special supplement to the October 1996 issue of ARGONAUTA contains the fourth edition of the CNRS Research Directory. This time the directory contains listings for 248 individuals. While we would of course like to have a higher proportion of the membership represented, we are nonetheless gratified by the response and would like to thank all those who took the time to provide information. We hope that readers will find the guide useful in pursuing their individual interests in maritime history and in making contact with others with similar concerns or specialized expertise. These are the purposes for which the directory was intended. The format ofthe 1996 directory has been changed only slightly from previous editions. Indeed, there are only two significant alterations. First, we have provided a much broader set of categories in the index section. We have done this because as the CNRS membership becomes ever more international, it is important that contributors to the directory be able to defme their research interests more precisely. The second difference concerns the way in which we have treated those members who have not revised their information. Contrary to our practice in previous directories, we have excluded all those who have not responded. We felt this was necessary since some of the reprinted listings from 1993 were so far out of date that they were no longer reliable. The directory is, we hope, easy enough to understand. For each member who responded to our requests for infor­ mation, we list what has been provided. The address, whether home or office, is the one which the member has suggested. Home addresses are denoted by the letter "H;" places of employment are signified by the letter "0." Similarly, phone and FAX numbers, where provided, are differentiated by the same symbols. E-mail addresses are not followed by an H or 0, since such distinctions are not really relevant to that technology. The descriptions of research interests and the publications included are those selected by individual respondents. A brief word is perhaps also in order about the indices. We asked members to select up to three broad areas that describe their areas of research interest or special expertise. We also invited them to choose a particular chrono­ logical period and to pick up to three geographic areas to identify their central interests. While it will be obvious that these restrictions forced some members to make difficult choices, we still hope that you will fmd them useful. In particular, we hope that the indices will suggest to readers with particular interests the names of others with similar inclinations. You will fmd the indices at the end of the research directory. We hope that this directory meets your needs. But since the Executive has decided to publish a revised directory every three years, members with suggestions for improvements might wish to share them. Although this will be the fmal directory that the present compilers will produce, if you send your ideas to one of us, we will be only too happy to see that they get into the hands of the appropriate people. In the interim, we hope that you will continue to see updates of listings, corrections (where necessary), and details on new members as space permits in regular issues of ARGONA UTA. Lewis R.

  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.

  • John Dahlgren the Plymouth Rifle
    JOHN DAHLGREN And THE PLYMOUTH RIFLE Marc Gorelick, VGCA The author thanks Tim Prince of College Hill Arsenal (www.collegehillarsenal.com) and Cliff Sophia of CS Arms (www.csarms.com) for the use of their photographs. Few Americans today know who John Dahlgren was, or the role he played in the Civil War. Most Civil War and navy history buffs who recognize his name identify him as a Union Admiral and ordnance expert who developed a number of naval cannon. Indeed, for his achievements in developing naval cannon he became known as the “father of American naval ordnance.” But to the gun collecting community Dahlgren was also a small arms expert and the inventor of the unique Plymouth Rifle. Photo courtesy Tim Prince, College Hill Arsenal, www.collegehillarsenal.com DAHLGREN’S NAVY CAREER John Adolphus Bernard Dahlgren was born on November 13, 1809 in Philadelphia, the son of Bernhard Ulrik Dahlgren, the Swedish Consul in Philadelphia. Like another Swedish-American, John Ericsson, the inventor of the screw propeller, turret and ironclad monitor, Dahlgren was to have a profound effect on the U.S. Navy. Dahlgren joined the United States Navy in 1826 as a midshipman. He served in the U.S. Coastal Survey from 1834 to 1837 where he developed his talents for mathematics and scientific theory. He was promoted to lieutenant, and after a number of cruises was assigned as an ordnance officer at the Washington Navy Yard in 1847. Dahlgren was in his element as an ordnance officer. He excelled as a brilliant engineer and was soon given more and more responsibility.

  • New Jersey's Medal of Honor Recipients in the Civil War
    NEW JERSEY’S MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENTS IN THE CIVIL WAR 1861-1865 By Michael R. Horgan, LTC William H. Kale, USA (Ret), and Joseph Francis Seliga 1 Preface This booklet is a compilation of the panels prepared for an exhibit at the General James A. Garfield Camp No. 4, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War Museum to commemorate the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War. This museum is co-located with the National Guard Militia Museum of New Jersey in the Armory at 151 Eggerts Crossing Road, Lawrenceville, NJ. Volunteers who work in both museums prepared the exhibit over the past year. The exhibit opened on May 23, 2011, the 150th anniversary of the New Jersey Brigade’s crossing over the Potomac River into the Confederacy on that date in 1861. The two museums are open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm. Group tours may be scheduled for other hours by leaving a message for the Museum Curator at (609) 530-6802. He will return your call and arrange the tour. Denise Rogers, a former Rider University student intern at the Militia Museum, and Charles W. Cahilly II, a member and Past Commander of the General James A. Garfield Camp No. 4, assisted with research in the preparation of this exhibit.

Located in the southeastern and eastern quadrant of Lake Ontario, this area and its tributaries provided food and transportation trade routes for indigenous peoples and early European explorers, such as Samuel de Champlain. During the colonial period, it was a strategic theater of conflict among European powers and the young American republic. Military actions involving naval and land forces occurred at Sodus, Oswego, Big Sandy Creek, and Sackets Harbor during the French and Indian War, Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. These actions involved historic figures such as the Marquis de Montcalm, Sir William Johnson, Commodore Isaac Chauncey and Sir James Yeo.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.

Throughout the entirety of the war, these marines served both on land and sea and earned the reputation of being some of the South’s most formidable soldiers. However, few today know of the existence of the Confederate Marines and are surprised to learn that these men participated in several of the most famous and decisive engagements of the war. This forgotten nature of the Confederate States Marines is largely due to the fact that the marines were overshadowed by the Confederate Army and Navy, yet in almost every naval and coastal engagement, the marines provided valuable service to the Confederate war effort. Although technological advancements and circumstance changed the roles of the Confederate Marines throughout the war, they constantly adapted, and continued to be an important part of the Confederate military. Despite its small size and its overshadowed nature, the story of the Confederate States Marine Corps is an important part of Civil War history and deserves to be told.
